The former features guests the Pistol Annies, while Kelly Clarkson lends vocals to the latter.

So glad she's giving the new song the single treatment! Follow up with Foolish Games ft. Kelly and we've got a lovely mini-era on our hands. I think she could actually stand to have some success on Hot AC, she's still a strong songwriter.

The duet with Kelly is not as good as I was expecting... I like it but the first 2 minutes of Jewel singing the song are just kind of awkward, just something about the way she sings it.

popcultureblog.dallasnews.com/2013/01/listen-jewel-and-kelly-clarkson-are-coming-for-your-tears-with-a-duet-of-foolish-games.html/Listen: Jewel and Kelly Clarkson are coming for your tears with a duet of βFoolish GamesβBy Rand Duren / Editor rduren@dallasnews.com 10:38 am on January 30, 2013 Okay, grab some tissues and get ready to dry a few tears. Jewelβs first ever greatest hits compilation is coming this February. The album includes new spins on two of Jewelβs most iconic tracks: βYou Were Meant for Meβ performed as an ensemble with Pistol Annies, and an incredible duet with none other than the original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson. βFoolish Games,β an already incredibly heartfelt song is only made stronger when Kelly Clarkson joins in. Warning: There is a possibility that by listening to this song you may feel the need to quote Michael G. Scott from The Office when he said: βit feels like somebody took my heart and dropped it into a bucket of boiling tears. And, at the same time, somebody else is hitting my soul in the crotch with a frozen sledgehammer. And then a third guy walks in and starts punching me in the grief bone. And I am crying, and nobody can hear me because I am terribly, terribly, terribly alone.βEnjoy! soundcloud.com/mariotx/foolish-games

Lots of love and lots of promo for "Foolish Games". thanks to bixblitz at the Kelly Clarkson Express.... Jewel & Kelly Clarkson Team Up For βFoolish Gamesβ Duet: Listen Well! This changes everything. No more listening to that sad old β90s recording of Jewelβs βFoolish Gamesβ while gazing mournfully out your window as the hot breath from your tears steams up the glass and you think about your squandered youth and the people youβve loved who abandoned you when you needed them most. No more of that β because now, you can do that with a whole new song! Yes, the iconic β90s hit has gotten an update for Jewelβs Greatest Hits release, now with a little more country styling and tense, bombastic production courtesy of legendary producer Dann Huff. But most importantly β itβs now a duet with Kelly Clarkson. Kelly Clarkson, unparalleled authority on bruised vengeance ballads. That Kelly Clarkson. So β while Clarkson mostly plays fair, resisting the urge to drown out Jewelβs silky vocals with her deafening anguish-roar except on a few spectacular runs β itβs still safe to say that this is the most important musical recording of all time. Listen below. idolator.com/7422402/jewel-kelly-clarkson-foolish-games-listen The Music Mix Music news, reviews, albums, concerts, and downloads If Feb. 5 is too far away (and it is! itβs six days away!) for the Jewel fans out there, have no fear: a cut of your mistress of songs singing with Kelly Clarkson is making its way around the Internet. The pair teamed up to tackle βFoolish Games,β off Jewelβs soul-saving Pieces of You. The new version β available on her upcoming greatest hits album β is heavier than the original, with less cresting woe. Also: less strings and less of Jewel reaching for the attic end of her upper register. Generally less of everything, except Kelly Clarkson, which has the upside-down effect of making the track even better, and definitely a dash more empowered. Take a listen below and then chime in: Does this make the wait for Jewelβs Greatest Hits any easier? And who will Kelly duet with next? music-mix.ew.com/2013/01/30/jewel-kelly-clarkson-duet-on-foolish-games/ Jewel Revisits βFoolish Gamesβ With Kelly Clarksonβs Help Pop-turned-country singer Jewel is celebrating her nearly 20-year career in music with the release her first-ever βGreatest Hitsβ package, available next week. The superstar offers the first preview of the new collection with a fresh version of her 1997 classic βFoolish Games,β which has been revamped as a devastatingly beautiful duet with Kelly Clarkson. βI just wanted to do some duets with some artists I really liked and some voices I like,β Jewel says of her special guest vocalists. βKelly was amazing. She was a hoot to have in the studio. She had done βFoolish Gamesβ in several talent shows prior to βAmerican Idol,β so she really knew it.β She adds, βIβm such a fan of her voice and love what she added to the song. She was so effortless on it. Itβs neat to hear it in her new light.β Flawless vocals from both Jewel and Clarkson certainly elevate the Grammy-nominated song to new heights. Written solely by Jewel herself, βFoolish Gamesβ was first released as a single from the singerβs 1995 debut disc βPieces of You,β and instantly earned her the distinction as a premier vocalist and lyricist of the generation. The track helped propel its accompanying album to sell 12 million copies in the United States alone. Jewelβs βGreatest Hitsβ package, which will be released on Feb. 5, also features a collaboration from the βHell on Heelsβ trio Pistol Annies. The 16-track collection will even offer one new track in βTwo Hearts Breaking.β tasteofcountry.com/jewel-foolish-games-kelly-clarkson-duet/
Listen: Jewel Plays 'Foolish Games' with Kelly ClarksonBy: Sunnivie Brydum I know I'm not the only Millenial lady-queer who felt like Jewel's 1995 debut album, Pieces of You, struck an aching, tender chord directly in my angsty teenage heart. I maintain that Pieces of You is still Jewel's strongest record. And now, one of my favorite tracks from that album has gotten a sultry, modern remake with a guest appearance by none other than Kelly Clarkson. Jewel enlisted "Miss Independent" herself to turn "Foolish Games" into a haunting duet. Perez Hilton broke the news and posted audio of the track, which we've embedded here for your listening pleasure. See if you can avoid getting goosebumps when Clarkson's angelic voice chimes in on the second verseβ¦ because I can't stop swooning each time I hit replay. And the harmonies these two vocal powerhouses pull out is simply stunning β listen to the whole track for the full impact. www.shewired.com/box-office/2013/01/30/listen-jewel-plays-foolish-games-kelly-clarkson Heart It Or Hate It: Jewel & Kelly Clarkson Join Forces On 'Foolish Games' Duet Written by Instinct Staff | Wednesday, 30 January 2013 We love that Kelly Clarkson just gets it when it comes to a duet! She's clearly confident enough in her vocals that she doesn't feel the need to compete or overpower those that she's singing with and as a result both performances get elevated. Why haven't we started applying that lesson to our lives?! Jewel revisited her 90's classic "Foolish Games" for her upcoming greatest hits album, Greatest Hits and asked Kelly to join her! The results are pretty magical, but listen for yourself after the jump to see if you agree! instinctmagazine.com/blogs/blog/heart-it-or-hate-it-jewel-kelly-clarkson-join-forces-on-foolish-games-duet?directory=100011 KELLY CLARKSON DUETS WITH JEWEL ON βFOOLISH GAMESβby Scott Shetler 4 hours ago Jewelβs haunting piano ballad βFoolish Gamesβ has been given a makeover for her greatest hits album, thanks to Kelly Clarkson, who duets with the singer-songwriter on a new recording of the track. Clarkson first appears during the chorus of the new song, adding harmony to Jewelβs lyrics about a loverβs selfish game-playing. The quiet song reaches emotional new heights during the second verse, when drums kick in as Clarkson begins singing. The women let loose during the final chorus, wailing like two scorned divas determined to get revenge with their voices. The original βFoolish Games,β paired with βYou Were Meant for Meβ as a double-sided single, charted for more than a year, reaching No. 2 in 1997 and earning Jewel a Grammy nomination. The Alaskan-born singer has branched out in recent years, recording both country and childrenβs music albums. βGreatest Hitsβ drops on Feb. 5. As for Clarkson, sheβs focusing on her wedding to fiance Brandon Blackstock, which is currently planned for the fall. Blake Shelton is already lined up to sing at the wedding. Maybe Jewel will sing at the ceremony too β hopefully something more upbeat, though! Check out the duet below. popcrush.com/kelly-clarkson-duets-jewel-foolish-games/

You forgot one! Foolish Games 2.0.13by themaxonline 2 hours ago The 90s continues to reign as another singer from the decade has new material coming out. Well, semi-new material. Singer/songwriter Jewel is set to release her very long-awaited Greatest Hits album next month with several new recordings on it. Why is it long awaited? Because most of Jewelβs hits from the 90s that we know and love arenβt the same versions that appeared on her albums. Two of her biggest, You Were Meant For Me and Foolish Games, were both remixed for their radio releases. Meanwhile, subsequent but lesser-known singles like Jupiter, Break Me and This Way were also re-recorded upon their release while songs like Serve The Ego and Only One Two received dance remixes. The versions of the songs that make it onto this compilation will all be the non-album versions when applicable. Making many of them available for the first time. Perhaps another surprise on the compilation is a re-recording of Foolish Games as a duet with fellow pop-sometimes-country singer Kelly Clarkson. While the single from the set is the only true new song on there, Two Hearts Breaking, a pop song mixed with a hint of Jewelβs recent country rebirth, the attention-grabber is the updated version of her chart-topping hit from 1997. Itβs not as stripped as either of the original versions (remember: there was the original album version and the radio remix), but it still holds the same charm that retains its classic status. Accompanied by drums, Kelly comes in for the second verse and while she doesnβt steal the show, she takes the song to a new level before returning it back to Jewel unscathed. www.themaxonline.net/2013/01/30/foolish-games-2-0-13/

None of the HMV's here have it! I was so upset. I know it's a Rhino release and all but still! I could order it on Amazon but I want to get the points that I'd get from HMV so I can gather up enough to get a gift card to spend before HMV goes under. :(

Her acoustic show last night was fantastic! Her voice sounded in tip-top shape, in spite of her getting over an illness. She took fan requests for the first part, but she didn't remember a lot of the songs. I had a moment when I shouted out, "How about Ten?" and she responded with, "Okay no more requests...thank you for knowing Ten though, I forgot to put it on the Greatest Hits." The set list, for those that are interested: -Near You Always -Hands -Down So Long -Satellite -Rosie and Mick -Standing Still -Intuition -Two Hearts Breaking -Foolish Games -You Were Meant for Me -Who Will Save Your Soul -a yodeling song

I love that she included "Near You Always" in the live performance. It's one of the 4 songs she left off her GH that I really miss (including "Stand", "Yes U Can", and "Have a Little Faith In Me" from the Phenomenon Soundtrack).
