Seal - Both Sides Now (Joni 75: A Joni Mitchell Birthday Celebration/Audio) 

I was in the theatre watching Joni Mitchell's 75th birthday celebration. I was enjoying it and then Seal went on stage to sing Both Sides Now. I was so moved with his rendition, his sensitivity and feeling every word just gave me goosebumps. My fave song of the show. He deserved the standing o he got for that performance.

I saw this in the movie theater and couldn’t help but stand and clap. I then self- consciously remembered where I was only to realize that half the audience was doing the same. The sound quality of the video does not do it justice but still I listen to it over and over again. Joni wrote the song and gave it to Seal. What a worthy recipient.

Thank you, Joni. Thank you, Seal.

So amazingly beautiful...a song to a Sealgull 😉🤩😍👏👏👏

And a BIG bravo to Seal... You made me cry again, my friend, very very very good job, thank you.

I never would have thought of Seal singing this song, but he really nails it.

I thought I'd come here whilst my eyes are still moist. It's a musical manifestation of the old adage, "the more you learn the less you know". The taste of my tears are bittersweet. Having listened to this song since I was in my single digits. Singing it in a boy's soprano to hearing Seal's approvable rendition. It somehow adds up to a sweet 61, absent the bitters. Are you sure it isn't 16, now that I'm "free from the devil's bargain." Only Jesus holds the keys. Green pastures, and still waters.

What a wonderful performance! Of all the performances of Joni's songs that evening, this one really stood out for me. Amazing sensitivity for the song. Bravo Seal!

Love this from Seal. 🌹

I had the good luck to view Joni 75 on a big screen during the one night only premiere. The musical tributes were outstanding, but for me, it was Seal's rendition of Joni's "Both Sides Now" that transfixed me to the point that I clapped out loud after his performance. I didn't care if I was the only one who cheered, and people turned to see me. Then, after seeing the video of this evening on PBS twice here in Vancouver, Canada, Seal's stunning delivery brought me to tears. Tears of regret, or perhaps tears of joy for realizing the power, beauty and truth of Joni's words, I thank both of these gifted artists for the beauty they have brought into my life!

Seal put me in a sentimental mood while thinking of Joni Mitchell.

Still a gorgeous rendition fro Seal. Thank you I love it so much and Joni as wellx

Best part of the concert by far. What a stunningly emotional rendition that more than does justice to the original.

Seal is our diamonds

Tears in my eyes. This is outstanding en goes directcly to my soul and heart.

Mind completely blown. This is such a stunning version it made me weep.

Amazing interpretacion!! Wonderfull!!

Wonderful song love his voice

STUNNING! BRAVO!!

This is powerful beyond words. Despite trying to keep that stalwart front, there's reasons to falter and misstep. This is the inner view that can't always be shown to family & friends.

It's great. I'm brazilian, but like very much. I'm stay to relax with this music. Congratulations!

So beautiful, Seal!! 💗

Breathtaking. Really does this classic right.

I've always enjoyed listening to Seal sing, he is my all-time favorite with his amazing voice! And this is a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs! God Bless You Seal! xoxoxo

Beautiful rendition.

Oh how I love this

I ve listen everybody and i think that nobody did it better that JONI herself!!!!!

Beautiful ❤😢

Heart-felt and incredible performance by Seal...I didn't know how talented he is

Seal had the best performance that night. Same as Cyndi Lauper did when she sang Carey years ago in a tribute show to Joni. Search RU-vid for it; it's still posted as of this date.

Love this

This is a very important and profound song by Joni Mitchell. This version of Seal is really amzing. 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.

absolutely beautiful

fabulous!

What a pristine rendition!!! Feeling love and sentimental for that time in my life when the sublime genius of Joni mesmerized and captivated me, and led me ever so beautifully from my classical music studies into an entire new realm...

wish there was video too. just beautiful

So Beautiful!

really enjoyed. beautiful rendition.

amazing

Joni wrote a lot of amazing music and so many beautiful songs and poetry...gee... it's so difficult, sometimes, to pick one up from her vast and brilliant repertoire... but then... I listen to this song... and everytime the search seems to be magically over... This song is "something else", really, do you agree all you folks? Something else... I was in my teens when listened for the first time to the Blue album, still have my original 33 LP copy in a plastic sleeve, to be protected... that moment, that day, music changed in my heart, forever. Thank you dear Joni, thank you for all the beauty you put in my life. I love you.

Wow . ❤

superb

Em qualquer versão esta musica é maravilhosa! Conhecendo hoje a versão com Seal. 👏👏👏

Thank you Mr ! It made my day !

❤❤❤

Amo ati mi vida

Wow

Why didn't You add the view of this performance? Pls DO ask Mr Seal to include this specific version in his channel. A treasure of the Century, him, the song, the composer, the musicians.. a magnificent expression of Art. 🙏 From Buenos Aires, ❤️.

OMG i really miss you haha😂😂

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤

Am I the only one who don't like Seal's version? Joni's rendition with Vince Mendoza arrangement is second to none!

just they way he sings the word " still" somehow

Amo Te Amo Te amo te amo te amo te amo te

Can someone put the other musicians on the this song?

Te adoro amo ati amo ati amo ati bb

Wow she sounds so different. But it works

I swore this was Nina Simone when I heard it on the radio. Uncanny.

Ok, this was an incredible peformance by Seal, but this version has been horribly ‘autotuned’ (like Madonna at Eurovision). Watch one of the untuned live video clips. It is so much more emotive. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ow243lFepzM.html
