This thought occurred to me too.  I am a fan of Melissa Etheridge, and have
most of her albums.  She would definitely be the one to carry off the voice
(I'm only speaking of singers I know), but I'm not so sure of her acting
ability.  I've seen her do cameos (as herself) in a couple of shows, and she
wasn't bad, but this is a much bigger ask.

While I agree that no one can really do Janis justice - if someone said I
had to name someone, Melissa would be the one.
