Brandi singing Blue Joni Mitchell at Madison Square Garden 9/14/2019

Not many can sing Joni, But Brandi CARESSES her.

[@Mother_daughter_adventures]

Dear lord, she is incredible.

[@mcatherineschaefercnm757]

Thank you Brandi. I have loved Joni for over 50 years and love how she is known again. Love you Joni - it was you Carol King for me.

[@tereasia]

This is one of the most challenging songs to sing, and she made it look easy. Goddamn.

[@msmegs93]

As an enormous Joni fan, I thought no one would have the courage to sing this, but she does a masterful job. I am sure Joni loved it. This actually brought me to Brandi's work, and now I'm Her fan as well. 💖

[@danielcrescenzo354]

American treasure covers Canadian treasure. I tear up at her performances man, real power.

[@willguyer]

Actually, this is A Case of You, from the album entitled Blue.

[@butterflymcq]

she sang the whole album.

[@peajae805]

ty

[@AMEER-114-]

@@butterflymcq what does the lying title say?... Is this vid the whole album or one song? Which one song is it? What idiocy... If your gonna be so obliviously wrong you should link us the whole album vid.

[@Susweca5569]

Thank you. People should always do their research, and check it twice.

[@tinamarief51]

Wow... Joni Mitchell is one of my all-time favorites singers, Brandi sounds amazing. BRAVO Brandi

[@elainedodson8370]

How brave to try to sing like Joni. She killed it.

[@Mistertudball]

What she said. Times forever.

[@jeffsaginaw1769]

The dedication and admiration it took to virtually embody Joni for this performance created a magic seldom seen since the heyday of music in the 1970's and 80's. Brandi, Thanks so much. You did so good. I hear Joni though so too...

[@chris-coudou150]

D'une oeuvre d'art, elle a fait un chef d'oeuvre.

[@margrietpetersen2396]

I ❤❤❤this! Brandi is SO good👏😘

[@PBrads]

Wow! I thought only Joni could sing this and I would listen; I listened to the whole song..... Loved your rendition! Thank you.

[@davidwhitson4558]

one word - Wow!

[@sallygallagher7776]

This is A Case of You. The absolute best rendition of this song I have ever heard. Everrrrr

[@biketech60]

Best cover .

[@hornerinf]

Nobody can come close to singing Joni like Joni. Brandi is a great singer but she sings Joni's songs out of love and respect. Technically, she can't do what Joni can but she's soulful and the lyrics have meaning. I feel her love for Joni and her music every time I hear her do one of Joni's songs.

[@TooleyPeter]

Brandi's love and respect is touching but for me Joni's cadence is so entwined with the words/emotions/music that this rendition felt oddly disconnected.

[@mfwriter959]

A beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. She made it her own.

[@OllieProphet]

Nope, too much like a soul singer with all that vibrato. Cringe.

[@StephanieDrown]

agree😀

[@LS-xn1zu]

Beautiful lyrics

[@johnkuhn5530]

Thanks Sal for posting this performance. Memorable.

[@clintatk]

Well done! Very few singers have attempted to cover Joni's amazing songs and delivery. 👍👍

[@RRW276]

I wish this had been recorded properly and released on DVD. I was there for this ahow at Disney Hall and Brandi Carlile sang/covered Joni Mitchell's entire Blue album. Brandi remained very true, of course, to the original album and it was a jaw dropping, moving and soul shaking performance. Brandi is so talented, I've loved her since the release of Give Up the Ghost, and she just nailed every song here. Obviously Joni is a huge inspiration for Brandi and you can definitely hear it in her music. But the Blue album, for those who haven't listened to it, is quite complicated to sing, yet Brandi pulled it off and without a teleprompter, which I hadn't realize at the time. So again, I wish this one was available on DVD or stream 😊.

[@rockman4699]

WOW

[@StephanieDrown]

bravo ! wonderful !💜

[@SmudgerTWR]

Why do American audiences have to constantly wail and holler?! Sit and listen. Does my swede in.

[@kevindavila625]

anthony smith uugghhh it’s the most annoying thing.

[@aholecop5547]

because they''re usually drunk of cheap beer or liquor

[@JPVillalobos27]

Imagine being an artist here in the US... it can wear you down sometimes.

[@kriskabin]

It shows our SUPPORT for the artist,.. we're ENCOURAGING her. We don't "constantly" make noise, but just after an incredible, soul-wrenching high note has been amazingly achieved, ur damn right we Americans are going to whoo our love & praise immediately out to Brandi Carlisle! ***She stands for us & we sure as hell stand for her! LOUDLY!

[@SmudgerTWR]

@@kriskabin well it’s fucking annoying. Usually there is a little space at the end of the song where people applause and show their appreciation then.

[@ititloga]

Go girl!

[@writerjmd]

She's singing "A Case of You"

[@lopezb]

I just wish the audience could shut up and listen....

[@retiredyeti5555]

It is "A Case of You", not Blue - that is the album name.

[@cocomomo5462]

This is "Case of You", not Blue. It is off the album, Blue, I believe. But thank you you so much for sharing. Beautful.

[@alisongoeller8461]

She has the gift of an Angel of God🌈✝💙💙

[@user-nb2wq3df7o]

It's great but no one can do it like Joni

[@alone15151]

Not a bad job...not Joni, but not bad.

[@louissmith4176]

I think you are wonderful and great person.. I think I am in love with you... I see your beautiful heart... Louis Smith...a Kiwi

[@brianb4285]

This is "A CASE OF YOU" .

[@lizzie1897]

A Case of You from Blue album. Where’s Blue from Blue album?

[@JaJa-qt5sf]

2 women who undesterstan the lagnguage in general are Joni and Elizabeth Davidson Fraser . They dont need to say anything to say so much, words are useless with these two

[@moonstone1159]

Rather, A Case of You...

[@lizzie1897]

This is NOT Blue... does she sing BLue?

[@butterflymcq]

she sang the whole album. that's what blue refers to.

[@jak30341]

Yes go listen to her sing it on Stephen Colbert

[@aliduffey5270]

I have to say - I'm not sure why BC thinks it's cool to explain that she didn't get Joni at first. Like, really? I don't need to hear her enlightenment story - she should have realized Joni's genius from the instant she heard her.

[@JuliaJosephMusic]

Ali Duffey 😂

[@TooleyPeter]

I've loved Brandi since The Story so I came here with high hopes. Alas, this ain't it. The takeaway for me is she should not sing Joni's songs. The technical difficulty is simply too high. You butcher the songs or they butcher you.

[@bellinghammond]

she tried. she failed. I've heard Joni give her assent but sorry, not even close.

[@TooleyPeter]

Agreed.

[@OllieProphet]

Too much vibrato.....can't listen.

[@TooleyPeter]

Way over the top.

[@user-nb2wq3df7o]

Agreed

[@raymonda5476]

I wish audience members would be QUIET during performances,which are not competitions. Not to shout and holler and yell when a singer hits a high note. Unbelievably rude, distracting, obnoxious behavior. Disrespectful to the singer and to the audience members who came to listen to her, not to the audience.😢

[@supermantra3437]

Hairbrush pls 🙏
