Janis? How about the next Minnie Riperton. That was her song.

Minnie Riperton

Aside from her various hits, Riperton is perhaps best remebered today for her ability to sing in the whistle register. She had a facility in this register which is rarely seen, being capable of not only accessing it but of executing trills, runs, and other vocal acrobatics in this register. Her highest recorded note is F#7 in "You Take My Breath Away". She was also noted for her ability to sound almost mechanical or instrumental in the whistle register, as well as her ability to enunciate clearly well above soprano high C. Having an innate ability to imitate many instruments helped lead to her discovery while she was a secretary at Chess Records.

 

mariah carey recently did that song too.

 

She can sing and she's damned cute, I think she'd be a big hit in America. Heck, I think she'll be a big hit anywhere she wants to sing.

 

I don't remember Joplin ever singing anything sweetly...besides it ("Lovin' You") was written after she died.

 

She should come to the US and win
American iDOL.

 

It's funny how her accent still breaks through
