More From LeAnn Rimes

I remember thinking that janis joplin sang like mae west talked. when i first heard the primal scream in 'piece of my heart,' i was hooked. 'cheap thrills,' janis 'live' with big brother and the holding company, was one of my all time faves. during the 'whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa's' in 'combination of two,' i couldn't help but go to the mirror and pretend i was a wild woman like janis, in a rock band.

The thing about janis is that she just looked so unique, an ugly duckling dressed as a princess, fearlessly so. seeing her live was like watching a boxing match. her performance was so in your face and electrifying that it really put you right there in the moment. there you were living your nice little life in the suburbs and suddenly there was this train wreck, and it was janis.

Eventually she came. she appeared suddenly, exactly like she'd done that day- she stepped into the sunshine, she jumped, she laughed and threw her head back, so her long ponytail nearly grazed the waistband of her jeans. after that, i couldn't think about anything else. the mole on the inside of her right elbow, like a dark blot of ink. the way she ripped her nails to shreds when she was nervous. her eyes, deep as a promise. her stomach, pale and soft and gorgeous, and the tiny dark cavity of her belly button. i nearly went crazy.
