"Both Sides Now" Cover with SEAL from "Joni 75: A Birthday Celebration"

[@jimjimgl3]

Whoever decided Seal should sing this deserves our highest praise...

[@ddonlee]

Exactly. The last person whom i think will sing this song was seal. He totally nailed it

[@emburke207]

It's a beautiful and tenorous rendition.

[@acustomer7216]

They have a history. Seal and Joni sang a duet ' If I Could' on Seal's 1994 CD. And OMG yes, he's phenomenal

[@michaeldonnelly9249]

Yeah, that person did a good job, Seal got it spot on

[@helenclare1207]

Joni decided.

[@janetruffner5172]

Never realized how many songs Seal needs to cover.

[@carolyncrowefain5825]

So true. Lovely voice. Could listen forever.

[@junefield5420]

Genius. This has just become my favourite song of all

[@RogerSeals-o9t]

I will continue listening to Seal sing Joni Mitchell song Damm you Seal you made this old man cry

[@junefield5420]

agree 100 per cent with you

[@jeremyreid9582]

Sir, do not despair this 58 year old is crying too ! 🙏🏼

[@brentdraeger390]

Well spoken!

[@vermont741]

Just turned 57 today, Dec 3 and am crying buckets!

[@rogerjames6956]

78,crying to.

[@angelk3912]

No way my favourite artist singing my favourite song 🥺♥️

[@nealpat7047]

I think this is one of the best versions I have heard if it. The musical arrangements are fantastic.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

The recent version by Brittany Howard tops even this.

[@pagpapaitim]

Dianne Reeves has a nice version of this

[@christinecurtin2389]

Agreed

[@GiveDemocracyaChance]

Wait till you hear the version of KEIKO NECESARIO, Guaranteed.

[@JDoe001]

Second to hers. I 🤍 them both!! 😍

[@SHS0622]

Seal's performance of this beauty is the perfect tribute to this poetic masterpiece by Joni.

[@janeshelvock1631]

❤

[@genuwineU2]

He was born to sing that song. His life has gone that way. The musicians were as one.

[@lornahiggs1846]

Just watched this footage right now , beautifully sang by Seal!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@maryhanna8895]

I’ve always loved this song, but this version moved me to tears. Thank you, Seal. And thank you always, Joni.

[@miquevandijk7463]

Me too, by surprise..

[@GerryNicol-kn5sl]

Imagine hearing this song for the first time when in the charts 1970. love this version, memory's of a wee boy aged 10

[@zivapalmer5775]

Me too.

[@janaszabo7098]

me too

[@larryhendren2301]

my favourite Joni Mitchell song sung so beautifully by SEAL with a glorious jazzy arrangement !!!

[@rogerramjet5302]

Try A Case of You by James Blake or KD Lang. Both amazing.

[@anngriffith9985]

This guy had the stones and the talent to sing this song in his way...his creation. New life, new breath into brilliance. Just ...wow.

[@kaycamille1544]

Very few singers could do that song justice. As it is simple and understated but seal mastered the essence of the song. The man is a class act. Very impressed. 👍

[@HappyCat1111]

That was so beautiful! Few artists can do justice to Joni Mitchell but Seal has such a gorgeous voice..just breathtaking!

[@freeman61]

This is a performance I didn't realise I needed but so very glad KZbin's Alga rhythm told me I needed !!!

[@gypsycyn]

Wow, he had me in tears. As good as Joni's and wonderful to hear a man with so much soul sing those words. Beautiful. Thank you for posting this❤️🙏

[@annedufour4774]

I Concur, Sweet and Sad All at The Same Time. Seal Appears On his His Sad Mindset. Take It Away, You All!!

[@esquibelle]

Seal gave his deep love & respect 2 Joni that night Thanks 2 both! ♥

[@juliechartier8689]

Seal’s voice is like Velvet!!!! I love this song and Seal moved me with his beautiful gift of a voice straight from heaven. Magical. Thank you. Oh I needed this with this election hate going on. Peace and love to all.

[@matthewoconnell114]

So, obviously, I love every version that Joni has ever made of this song. I think it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and I love playing it in guitar in that classic Open D tuning that Joni used. But listening to Seal's version makes me think that this song may enter into the great American songbook, along with Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, etc. This could eventually be a jazz staple. I'm blown away. Timeless and beautiful.

[@Grainnebell]

so agree

[@gypsymom0819]

Absolutely beautiful rendition of "Both Sides Now". SEAL is one of the most talented singers out there. Hat's off young man!

[@ilahildasissac1943]

He's middle aged now! I liked his songs back in the 90's. Nice guy and talented.

[@lizapalana3925]

one of the best versions i heard just pure soul

[@davexxx5175]

This is a very important and profound song by Joni Mitchell. This version of Seal is really amazing. Joni must have been proud of him. Thank you Joni and of course Seal for this interpretaion. ps: and the band is great with no doubt.

[@Sarahurrah9]

Seal's version is so... sooo beautiful and mesmerizing

[@joachimgerolia2163]

Just tonight i saw this video. He nailed it. Im in tears

[@Aritul]

I normally dislike covers, but this was so good that I'm listening to it again.

[@pollyoutofpocket]

One of the best songs ever written & Seal is singing with a symphony!! It's nothing short of spectacular!

[@anthonyrothwellsingletary587]

Greatest song, a picture of life

[@brishi69]

As a proud Canadian like Joni, I only have one word for this beautiful cover, "WOW"!! He absolutely killed this!! and what a class act thanking Joni and then bowing to the band behind him!! RESPECT!!

[@jamesdecastro9534]

My goodness, what a talented superstar. What a treat, what a performance. For another superstar goddess of a singer.

[@brucemonkhouse6698]

Congratulations to both ms Mitchell and Mr Seal..brilliant composition and performance

I've always loved the timber of Seal's voice. So gorgeous!

[@jeris33]

Astonishing. The power of music, of songwriting, of lyrics, of interpretation, of performance, of interaction, of live music. Absolutely great.

😳 damn. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Friend2FriendnMA]

Yes, yes, YES!!! Heartfelt, emotional, masterfully done Seal! And the band? Perfection!

[@MagicCircusofSamoa]

Breathtaking! MG....can this extraordinary man get it out! What a voice....my first time to hear him....a gift of God.....and this song, he nailed it....thank you SEAL... Chief Tupa'i Bruno of Samoa.....your fan now..

[@litsnombre6390]

My favorite song when i was 10 yr old. My uncle used to sing it in 1970 which eventually became my fave too from constant hearing of that song from my uncle

[@wymanspace4173]

Falling in love with the song all over again.

[@zanderary]

I immediately bought the song on iTunes after discovering it on KZbin. I have had it on repeat play for half an hour. What an outstanding performance from all, especially Seal. All the dazzle comes from his emotional honesty, not from vocal acrobatics. Well, okay, he also has a great voice, especially on those higher notes that cut through so plaintively. Wow. Wow! Wow.

[@mariehaverty8209]

Talk about telling a story from heart, Seals nailed this song. So believable, love it thank you. 👏❤️☘️

[@AnnaHaas-ke7sf]

Damn... to say that is SMOOTH isn't enough. Effortless. Beautiful.

[@alexskywalker4888]

This and "who wants to live forever" at the Freddie Mercury tribute are two of my favourite performance's ever, by Seal.

[@johnjenkins5854]

Seal is criminally underrated

Not by musicians

@@sideshowlol fair enough.

[@vinodtrekker]

No way is he underrated . Any one with any musical intellect will tell you how wonderful he is .

[@lab4389]

My favorite song by Joni Mitchell. I’ve never heard it sung by a male singer. Seal’s performance is just spectacular! 🥰🤗

[@YuTuboTuTubas]

Ive always loved Seal's Peter Gsbriel-esque voice and performing this timeless Joni Mitchell s songs make my heart cry in happiness.

[@andrewmiraliotis6660]

As much as I enjoyed SEAL'S take on this song Paul Young & Clannad (1991) is my favourite highly recommended it🙂

[@craigrasmussen3559]

Neil Diamond and Frank Sinatra have both recorded versions of "Both Sides Now". Diamond's version is very good. Sinatra's is not, in my opinion. He just rushed through the song.

[@GenghisWanghis]

Love Willie Nelson's cover

[@jackerdelac9065]

What a great song and an awesome performance and tribute. Thanks Seal for the very memorable cover of this great ladies song

[@giacapra1976]

Only a few artists in the world are able to generate love through their songs and Joni will never receive enough love back from us, simple human beings.
