By far one of the greatest female singers of all time. She kicked ass in Big Brother and the Holding Company singing songs like "Piece of my Heart" and "Ball and Chain" and went solo singing "Mercedes Benz" and "Bobby McGee". If Janis was still alive today, she would so kick Britney Spears ass for being a stupid bitch.

Born in Port Authur Texas, Janis was somewhat of a reject in her home town. She was however, the greatest female rocker to walk the face of the Earth. She had her own sound, look and personality. No one could ever touch her. Janis, you are the reason I surrvived the 8th grade.
Jesse: Andrew, have you seen Jenny?

Janis Joplin Syndrome is when a music group has a female singer that becomes just as if not more famous than the band she is in. Named after Janis Joplin who was originally a member of a blues revivalist group called Big Brother and the Holding Company. If you know anything about music history, you'd know that Janis left BBATHC after a 2-3 year stint with them to start a short lived but widely successful solo career.
70% of cases of JJS often end up with either the singer going solo (see The Supremes, No Doubt and Destiny's Child) or worse, the singer being the only original member left, somewhat like Axl Rose Syndrome (see Evanescence). Most of the time, all-girl bands are immune to JJS with a few exceptions such as the Bangles.
