OK, I guess it has to be Jana Insane-ah.

from Eliza in Paris
Hello Jana, do you really pronouce your name Jayna?...thats soo pretty and im glad you told us. I would have never know. Anyways, I was wondering, since now that you guys aren't touring, do you get to see Stevie and the ohers often? What do you like to do while not on tour? Thanks for answering our questions. I hope you answer mine! love and peace :-)

Jana's answer:

Hi Eliza. Yes, I pronounce it Jayna. Thank you.

I only see Stevie when we rehearse or do shows. I just saw her June 1st for a private party in Las Vegas. Those one night shows come up here and there throughout the year. I see Sharon a lot. She’s my buddy.

When I’m not touring with Stevie, I do other shows. Most recently, Sharon and I did 4 tv shows with Jewel. And I sing in about 4 other bands that play corporate parties all over the country and all over the world. I also spend time with my family and enjoy life. I like to work hard and play hard.

Love and peace to you, too.

Jana's answer:

Hi Nell. There are no UK plans, but I sure hope to go back one day. You live in a wonderful part of the world.

Hi Jana, In answer to your wondering if anyone knows your name is pronunced Jayna I learned of this when I looked you up on the web a few days ago. I also want to tell you I don't have a computer so I use the public library here in Geneva. I want to thank you for the time and thoughtfulness you have put in this Ask Jana stuff. You have given me one more reason to get my exercise and walk to the library almost everyday. I love reading your thoughts. I hope you have a very nice Christmas my prayers will be with you.

Jana's answer:

Hi Linda. Thanks for remembering how to pronounce my name.

I’m so happy you’re so appreciative. I want everyone to know that I care and will spend as much time as I can to answer the questions.

God bless you!

Hi David. Thank you so much for your sweet compliments. I’m sitting here with my parents right now and I read them your question and it made them smile. They named me. This is not a stage name. My website is janaanderson.com.

from Sabrina in Orange County, CA
Hi! Does a backup singer have to love the music/artist they are singing/singing with?

Jana's answer:

Hi Sabrina. I would say that it certainly makes life a lot more fun if you love the music you are performing. I love all the tours I’ve done. However, I have been paid well to sing about products in other countries that are so dorky. But, the trip was fun and people I traveled with were nice. And it was only one show. I personally couldn’t be involved in a show for more than one time that I didn’t love.
