IF pearl jam got a female backup singer

IF pearl jam got a female backup singer how would you feel? I know it took awhile for a lot of us to warm up to BOOM. I know a few of us still don't like Boom, but what if PJ decided to pick up on a female background singer. Now I know this will never happen but what if it did? Maybe a few NEW tracks, some old tracks not every song....
what do you think?

    I like your idea, Scott. Or maybe just guest vocalists on a few songs. Neko Case would sound phenomenal with Ed. But they both have such powerful voices, it could be too much?...

    I think they sounded horrible the first night but much tighter the second night

    This idea must be punishable by law immediately!!! what if the band got wind-section or an orchestra? So many "what if" NO F. WAY!

    No. Female singers suck singing rock music, for the most part, imo. They have plenty of other things goin on in their music. They shouldn't try to ruin it.

    I think it would be cool...they should try it....Who doesn't like BOOM? OMG!! :D

    X2, just look at how SK sounded when they backed up Ed on Hunger Strike, I've heard dying cats that had better voices for that...

    I can name thousands of male singers who suck at singing rock music. I can also name plenty of female rock singers who are fuckin awesome.

    I bet you can't name very many that I think are good at all. There is no band with a female singer that I like a large amount of material from. It's just not something I find appealing.

    They have one. Her name is stone and she does a fantastic job.

    I'll third that. SK ruined several perfectly great bootlegs.

    Chrissie Hynde with the Pretenders is a damn good rock singer.

    But I would not want backup singer in PJ. That would almost be as silly as adding an organ player. ;)

    i don't even think they need to add anyone to the band at all...stone matt and jeff all sing back up...

    in regards to female rock singers that are great...Janis Joplin is probably the only one i like...i like Sleater Kinney but only slightly and really only for Modern Girl and when she sand Hunger trike with Eddie

    I was able to watch Ed with Fonzi, Shariff and Bernise rehearsing earlier in the day. He was coaching them pretty heavily... I'm thinking they did not rehearse much. But I do think they called it an "experiment", right?

    I am a female and I would hate it if PJ got a female backup singer...it would ruin all the songs!!! I prefer males singing rock music!! All of my favorite singers are male.

    I hated when SK sang at the 2003 concerts! It was like nails on a chalkboard! And I also agree that those ladies who sang at the Madison Square Garden shows this summer SUCKED!!! Pearl Jam should no longer experiment with this stupid idea and just stick with what works!

    No way! It would change their style of music toooo much! I love them as they are.
