: She's makes this video for "Intuition," and the video CLEARLY pokes fun at artists "selling out" or endorsing products. And it's all good. Her boobs bounce around in the video so that's nice.
: Then I see a commercial for a woman's razor blade, and it...uhhh...uses the song "Intuition." In fact, the rand razor is called "Intuition."
: Someone should make another video now poking fun at Jewel poking fun of endorsing products when she, in fact, is no better. I nominate Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
The video was basically a security blanket for her new style. Make no mistake, some dumb agent or producer convinced her to try to reach the pop audience. The Intuition video was a "Get Out of Jail Free" card in case it bombed. Well, it did. Now she can play it as say, "The entire album was a joke. Irony... see?"
About the commercial, she even announced it during her concert. I audibly groaned.
Come back to us Jewel of old. Fire your producer, agent, and band and just pick up your guitar.
JUST your guitar.
