It seems kind of sad that several posters have opted for a verdict of "indifferent" to Janis, especially given that her live performances were such an emotional tour de force. She put so much of herself into her music that "indifferent" seems like a slap in the face, so, always ready to be picky about words, I'm gonna propose a different category: Ambivalent.

My attitude to JJ (surprise!) is ambivalent: Gotta respect the power of her performances and her commitment to her art, but on the other hand, I don't particularly like her material and I'm not much interested in hearing her without a video to watch at the same time.
