During a live Q107 broadcast from Jeff Healey’s bar in Toronto, former host John Scholes said, “This girl can nail these vocals, it’s almost scary how good she is at this act, especially the between-song banter.” Longtime Psychedelic Sunday host Andy Frost added, “Krista Blondin's portrayal and recreation of Janis Joplin is second to none in the tribute business. She successfully made it feel like a Janis Joplin concert was directly in front of you.” As the founders of the Tim Hortons Southside Shuffle Festival shared, “Not only were we impressed, but most certainly was the crowd, generating one of the most electrifying audience responses over the entire weekend.” Jazz Festival “This tribute to Janis Joplin is the show of all shows,” says Ware. “I remember seeing Piece of My Heart back in 2007 and I learned so much about Janis Joplin. Part of the thing that makes this tribute so successful is not only Krista Blondin’s ability to be authentic, but to tell the story of the artists themselves.” Shelly Ware,Town of Aurora "Krista's remarkable rendition of Janis Joplin had the audience in awe" Danielle Bourre, Canadian National Exhibition "She has Joplin's vocals, look, moves and mannerisms down!"
