What if Joan Was One of Us?

September 3rd, 2008 . by matt

Pretty song.

Rock drums: boo.
Cheezy guitar solo: boo, too.

Joan’s red pumps: absolutely fabulous.

    hmm… nope. her voice doesn’t do it justice and the drums are terrible.

    BUT that’s cool that it’s on her new album- cha ching!

    yeah, her version sucks. The video too. Even though it’s in a cathedral, it’s fixated on her with a microphone, which just looks tacky to me. I’m glad the song is getting attention though.

    Sigh.

    “One song on the album, “Cathedrals,” actually came from a Delaware band called Jump, Little Children. Osborne says that one of her producers brought it in.”

    Yeeeaaaah, so my question is, how come Elton didn’t just cover it to start with?

    yes, i was informed by my friend who now lives in denver (formerly from columbia, sc) that she heard joan osborne’s version on her xm radio…and she got pissed off! she called me right away with her concern, hehe. but i guess the song is getting recognition again.
