I hate to be tacky, but... <grin> I don't think Jewel is very 
attractive.  Sure, she's pretty in that bland, cute-little-girl way 
that seems to be all over the media these days, but compared
to Patti, or Maria McKee of Lone Justice, or any number of other
women I could name (but *not* Alanis), she's dullsville.  And she 
has that look about her, as if she thinks she's just too perfect for
words, which always turns me off.  If they're going to choose pop 
superstars on the basis of looks, I'd prefer they choose people more
like Madonna, who at least has an *edge* to her appearance.  Jewel 
looks like a smooth little custard dessert they might serve at a 
3-star French restaurant -- utterly forgettable.
