Who
do you think was better at singing the song Piece
of My Heart, Janis Joplin or Faith Hill? I believe it’s an individual preference
but for me I’m going to have to pick Faith Hill. I really enjoy Faith’s voice
and I think it is very powerful and touching. Even though they both have very
strong singing voices, Janis Joplin, for me at least, comes off a little too
strong which makes it a little more difficult to like and therefore listen to
her music. What amazes me the most is how they both sang the same song and yet
their unique personalities showed through their performance and really represented
their different styles. Janis’s voice is more choppy and intense whereas Faith’s
is more elegant and easy to listen to. I’m not a huge fan of the “electric”
style of music and I believe that is why I prefer the version sang by Faith. I’m
glad I had the chance to listen to both of these versions side by side because
it defiantly showed me the difference in their styles and the dissimilar way
they sang the same song. Both lovely artists stood out to me today when we
listened to this song. Even though I still like Faith’s voice better, I still appreciate
Janis because she truly put everything she had into her songs and that to me
shows dedication. She might not have had the best voice in a sense of peacefulness
but she did advertise her distinct personality through her music and that’s a
neat thing as a part of the audience to see.
