I wasn't talking about the voice at all, but to me, she looked like a mid-70s Stevie

Yet Stevie fans don't diminish the worth of Janis like they do Bekka.

Janis Joplin wrote alot of her own songs, not the famous ones you hear on radio, but she
did write her own songs.
On your other point, I don't see how apart from the touring aspect, why another female was necessary for FM. They could get away with replacing guitarists, because FM needs a guitarist - but replacing either two females, like it or not, who were the main focal point of the band, would never work...
