Who is this 90s/00s female singer who doesn’t want to perform any of her hit songs on tour?

Lauren Hill?

Erykah Badu?

Lauren Hill?

Erykah Badu?

Lauren Hill?

How many hits did they ^^ actually have?

Alanis Morissette or maybe Jewell

Tori Amos

This sounds a lot like Sheryl Crow, a forgettable performer with an ego the size of Nebraska.

[quote] Tori Amos

Torn Anus

It could be Brittney!

Only one t in Britney

Could be PJ Harvey

Madge.

Alanis or Kelis.

I think Madge learned her lesson in this tour!

*on

R16 what lesson?

It is tentatively titled the Hurl Your Rotten Cabbage Tour.

No, not PJ Harvey R13. She's doing her new album for half of the set and her hits for the second half.

Yoko Ono

It's not crazy Lauryn Hill, she only ever released the one album lol.

My guess is Courtney Love. This sounds like something she'd do.

Alanis

Yeah, could be Courtney Love.

Jewel.

Possibly Sarah Mclachlan. i always spell her name wrong, but i've seen her in concert twice and they were among the top 5 concerts i've been to in my longer life.

Jewel did a lot of her older stuff in her tour earlier this year.

Definitely not Tori Amos. I saw her twice last year and it was a greatest hits of of her 90's songs.

This has Mariah Carey written all over it.

R29 I think it’s Mariah too. No jokes aside. I just have a strong feeling it is her.

If the clue has said 80s in addition to 90s and 2000s, I would say Madonna. She seems to not be fond of her older work. Not everything, but a lot of it. And I get the feeling she is resentful that the fans don't love her "new stuff" as much as she thinks they should.

Since it isn't her, based on the clues, I would go with Mariah. She probably can only "sing" the recent stuff, anyway, since most of it requires her whispering through it. Nobody buys that the 90s whistle tone is still there (except when piped in from backstage and lipsync'd.

R31 ^ *had said, not has

Mariah performs the Christmas song every year so I don’t think it’s her.

It's not Mariah. Her current Christmas show has about 6 of her old album hits.

K. D. Lang?

Shawn Colvin

Whitney Houston

Toni Braxton.

Connie Francis

It can't be Alanis...She just joined Pink onstage to sing u oughta know.....I doubt she would do that if she doesn't want to sing her old stuff

Natalie Merchant

Pat Benatar

Pat Benatar is fabulous but was definitely late 70s and *very* 80s with her hits.

That “What’s goin’ on” chick with the giant top hat.

Fergie

R41 Natalie Merchant just finished a tour and I doubt she would book it toward this long and also she plays her 90 stuff all the time however she doesn't play Maniac stuff almost ever except for these are days.

Tori loves all her girls so I doubt she'd ever refused to play any of her songs. Alanis comes to mind cuz she's doing a tour next year but I doubt it's her because she just did her big 20th anniversary of jagged Little pill and she doesn't seem at all cynical about her old stuff.

Whitney’s hologram.

I think it’s Jewel. She’s in that fauxmance with Kevin Costner to get her name back in the headlines ahead of a possible tour.

I doubt it's Jewel because if you look at her output including her two Fisher Price albums shell play whatever will make her $$$$$.

Susanna Hoffs

Sheryl Crow. It will be called the “Bland & Deplorable” tour.

Late ‘90s was literally the era of the female singer-songwriter, so it could be anybody. Most of them from that generation don’t have hits anymore and have dropped out of sight.

And while you’re at it, why don’t you fuck Martika too!

Natalie Imbruglia

[quote] Late ‘90s was literally the era of the female singer-songwriter, so it could be anybody.

The word "literally" contributes absolutely nothing to this sentence. Please reconsider it's usage.

“Please reconsider it’s usage.”

Oh dear!

Tina Arena

Betty Boo!

[quote] Lauren Hill?

The name is Lauryn Hill and to date she only has one CD.

While I consider her to be an unlikely candidate for this, Sarah Brightman kind of fits. Most of her biggest selling pop and classical crossover albums were from the 90s and 2000s. Similar to what I said about Mariah Carey in an earlier post, her voice is not really what it used to be, due to age, so I could picture her preferring to perform songs from the last couple of new studio albums she did, which mostly avoided strenuous vocals, with a couple of exceptions here and there (and I suspect there was a lot of technology helping in those instances).

Sheryl Crow is the only guess that makes sense.

Jewel didn’t really have any hits in the 2000s, aside from that “Intuition” song, her attempt as sexy Britney pop. And I think people only like that song ironically.

Alanis has been touring and doing festivals, playing all her hits.

Might be Sarah McLachlan. She’s tired of being known as the voice of those abused animal commercials.

[quote]Natalie Imbruglia

She was a one-hit wonder.

Laurin Hyll

Dirty Beefcurtains Tour

Brit Brit?

This sounds like the batshit crazy Fiona Apple.

Khia

Fiona Apple and Khia were two more one-hit wonders that nobody has thought of in 20 years.

It's not Sarah McLachlan. I just saw an email about her upcoming shows where she's doing Fumbling Toward Ecstasy in its entirety.

That sounds incredible, R70. FTE was her best work.

Janet Jackson

It’s not fkin Toni Braxton. If he didn’t sing her 90s hit she would have no fucking hits to sing. It’s fkin Mariah Carey bougie ass. She lives in her own dreamworld. She doesn’t want to sing those 90 songs because of Tommy Mattola.

Mariah Carey is already on tour right now. Her lazy ass lipsyncs that Christmas song, then she makes her kids come out and do the rest of the show while she gets drunk.

R63 wrong

No one ever heard of that, R75. One hit wonder, as stated previously.

Mariah always sings her signature songs like We Belong Together & Hero, she knows her fans want to hear the hits.

Sarah Mc Laughlin?

Pink?

R79 Pink wasn’t out in the 90s.

Pink is doing sold-out tours right now.

Sara Mick Locklin?

Christina Hagulera.

Jessica “Ozempic” Simpson.

Jewel seems like the type who would say “I’ve matured so much as an artist I don’t even remember my earlier songs.”

Nana Mouskouri?

Half the women on this thread are currently on or planning tours where they're singing their old fucking songs.

The only songs that Lauryn Hill won't sing are pretty much all of them because she keeps showing up two hours late to all her current shows.
