Macon, Georgia native, Jessica Atkinson, came out to pay homage to Janis Joplin. She opened with “Mercedes Benz” and mesmerized the crowd. This petite little brunette blasted the audience with her strong and dominating, beautiful voice. Then I heard a guy in a football jersey and baseball cap comment, “See, you won’t see THIS on American Idol.” Atkinson’s legendary sound made for great covers of “Piece of My Heart” and “Me and Bobby McGee”
