I understand your feelings towards her. But, we should try and keep the Melon vibe a good one by not calling a friend of the band hateful names. Cool?

to be honest I never liked her singing in the original. That is just me, I didn't understand why they felt they needed her on the song. *shrugs*

When I first started screwing around with MySpace I would often PM her and praise her for the songs she posted (I actually do like them, aside from this Cavities bullshit). She never ONCE got back to me. So, yesterday I PMed her using the Unified Theory MySpace site, and she immediately got back to me thinking I was Chris Shinn. She thanked me for adding her to the site in the section "Brad Smith and Christopher Thorn Has Worked With". I PMed her back and said: "Actually, Brad, Christopher, and Chris put me in charge of this site. This is Matt (someone you never reply too)" She read the message and never responded. haha, got her well, Matt! lol What can I say about all this...it sucks, it's pathetic and it gets the most pathetic for her when she "lets" Shannon in front in the middle/by the end of the track and the difference between her shitty singning (I don't think she sings bad in general but the beginning of this version of M.O.C. is really berk) and Shannon's one become just TOO MUCH OBVIOUS! Can't compare of course. Really. Even if I wasn't a melon maniac I'd say that. To be honest, on the original Mouthful Of Cavities from Soup I didn't pay attention for a LOOOOOONG time to the fact that someone's singing with Shannon. I don't know how comes, but it never really got my attention. Maybe cause I love Shannon's singing so much, I don't know really.... and then one day when the song was playing, someone (not a melon fan or something) said to me "wow, who's that singing back vocals, she has a beautiful voice". And I thought, yeah, she has a beautiful voice indeed and I think it was the first time I really looked who's that singning back vocals...I don't hate to hear her on the record as some pple, I think it's nice to hear her singin' with Sahnnon, but I don't really care I think...as long as Shannon's singing first vocals hehe... I wonder how she's not ashamed of what she did. Really. I don't get it. It's so pathetic. After all I've heard about her, she seems like someone that's still in teenage crisis. This is sad actually.

haha funny barbara, when i first listened to it... i remember saying(before i even knew anything about jena...this was back in the days when i didnt really know anything about blind melon) i said ................... "I can't beeeeeeeliiiiiiieve blind melon have a girl singing with them! who needs a guest singer when you got the voice of shannon hoon.... oooofffff!!!! they better not have anymore songs with guest singers or i'll pee on this cd i dont care if its in public"
and i remember everyone just laughing at me lol i do love the song though, even with jena in it, i like her voice (wish i could steal it and make better use of it...by pretending to be a mermaid trying to call sailors when im taking a bath for example, or singing "sex on the beach" in the shower. ) but i prefer the version with just shannon though.

She wrote me back appologizing for not getting back to enough. Apparently, she has someone doing her site for her and she drops in, every so often, to read the PMs and reply to a few.

Well I guess I stand alone here but I didn't think the version was that bad. Kind of put a twist on it. I actually did notice her voice on the song the first couple times I heard and and I thought it really added to the song, and I still do.
And then after watching the Letters DVD i thought it was awesome the kind of things Melon did. I mean how cool would it be if your favorite band decided to give you a chance to sing, realized you could, and then let you sing on one of their songs?
And then there was a site that Ryan posted on here, I'd have to look to find it, where people were discussing Melon . One of the comments was a story how the guy went to a Melon concert and then after that one of the fans asked them if they wanted to come to his house for a party. They actually showed up, smoked some weed with the people, and hung out. I have to believe that their aren't too many bands who would do that after selling millions of recrods.
Now after reading the thread on here about how Jena was actually having sexual relations with Shannon I do have to wonder if she was just made the song because of sexual interests. That is depending on how true all of that was.
As far as the whole thing goes with Matt, that sounds like complete shit. "I have someone running my myspace account." Give me a break. The last time I checked Jena Kraus wasn't on the billboard charts. I'm sure she has time to check her myspace, it's probably her running it herself.

Are you referring to the original? If so, I agree to. It was definitely cool to have her on the album. As for the one currently on MySpace....Meh...

Yes. I do like the original too, and that they would invite someone to join them is sweet! I think what surprised me was really the fact that Shannon's voice was presented as a back up singer in this version. I was really just expecting a cover when i went to check it out. Then...well, I guess I just pressed "stop" when I heard it. I still listen to the original often, it is on one of my favorite mixed cd's...

I felt the same way, I thought It was amazing and was thinking of how lucky she was! I seriously don't think anyone is running her Myspace Account....but I could be wrong....hey...would anyone like to run My myspace account? It doesnt pay well....

Sorry Matt i'll clarify (late night). "Well I guess I stand alone here but I didn't think the version was that bad. Kind of put a twist on it."----------i'm referring to her version. I thought the only real difference was the first verse.
geez now i notice like five other grammer mistakes in there.....i need to work on my grammer....hehe.....

lol yeah the original is good. i hated it when i first heard it though... but im a skeptical pig. not to mention an arrogant twat. SOMETIMES. usually when it comes to first hearing or seeing things i either say i hate it or i love it. Somewhere down the line i'll change my mind. Abit like yesterday when i decided to make tomato soup and as soon as i put it in the saucepan i didnt want it, so i threw it away after cooking it then after i threw it away i wanted some tomato soup so bad.
