Everyone has a different taste in music. I love this version because I love that "childish voice" and that "nasal singing". I love how she puts her feelings into this song and how her angel voice delivers it in a completely new and innocent way. It's alright to state opinions, but maybe some people should think about the way they state it. I really enjoy this cover. Thanks to the uploader for sharing it!
I like this version. Why does everyone have to always compare the original to a cover of it? That's why it's called a cover! It's the modern times, have to make it more modern, no point of redoing the same thing as the original! Sheesh people, so critical!
This cover did and didn't make sense to me. It made sense because the original artist, Joni Mitchell, is considered one of the most female musicians of all time, so it makes to be inspired by one of her songs. It didn't make sense to me because this version completely ruined it. The entire Pop beat to it ruins the integrity of the song. Plus her voice lacks the emotional depth needed to properly convey the lyrics. Just my opinion.
+Lilah Zerambo Every generation's musicians feel the need to reinterpret the previous generation's "great songs" either through covers or full-on rewriting into a new song. The themes of humanity don't really change from one generation to the next, and musicians have a greater sense of the prior music - the very music that inspired them to become musicians - than the general population.
According to a certain wikipedia article the original singer/the writer of this song started touring with it after notable musicians started covering it.
carly rae jepson is such a nice person. And shes one of few people who actually know what real music sounds like. I love her so much. Shes one of my rolemodels!!!
The words "I really don't know life at all", is a confession that she doesn't know what to do in a relationship. She doesnt' know what to expect from other people in a relationship. She had high hopes and expectations, and was very badly dissapointed when the overwhelmingly beautiful relationship turned sour (hence the clouds) and then ended.
I don't know what people are complaining about. I have heard the other versions and I enjoy this one too. A lot of people complain about new artists re-recording songs or sampling - honestly, there is a new generation who would never hear these 'classic' songs or like them if they were not re-recorded or sampled from. I used to have issues with it too but I have completely changed my mind.
As a huge fan of the Judy Collins version, which was a cover of the Joni Mitchell version, I have to say that I love the way great music gets reincarnated every generation in that generation's idiom. It's fascinating and encouraging at the same time. Don't mind the "Old man yells at clouds" types; this constant reinterpretation is what keeps great music fresh and accessible. BTW, This is a great version, too.
G Nelson Judy recorded the song before Joni. Pop stars give away songs and write songs for each other to sing all the time. Prince wrote songs for the Bangles to sing. "A World Without Love" was given to Peter Asher by Paul McCartney.
Judy does the best job of capturing that recent loss of innocence that the song conveys. I think the beat in this version is out of place, but it still has its charms and her voice does convey some of that naivete turning to experience.
I never understood why people get mad over someone doing a cover of someone's else song. Like as long as they got permission and as long as they didn't just completely disrespect it by changing what it was originally about it should be fine. Besides it's not like the original is being replaced. Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't have to listen to it.
Carly Rae you have done the most updated version for sure of this song xoox I seriously love your music. It is as if you are singing from the other side of the clouds then Joni wrote it.... I also have always loved Neil Diamond cover of this song too. The meaning can literally be happy or sad! There is meaning of loss or walked through to the light 💖🙌🥂🥂🥂
Its a beautiful cover of a beautiful song. expression is a tricky thing, judgement is easy, but in the end karma will eventually reflect negativity back to its source.
As a massive Joni Mitchell fan, I was dreading hearing this when someone sent me the link... but y'know, it's pretty good. She's got a nice voice, sings it well, and the beat works and puts a nice original stamp on it. I know it's not a popular thing to say this because people feel the need to take sides but just because something's a cover version doesn't mean it's better or worse; just different. And you can like the new and old just as well.
I've looked at this song from both sides now from Carly's and Joni's and still somehow it's songs differences i recall i realy love both versions at all!
This is amazing. Haters, just go away! She's wonderful, and you are being so mean to her?! You know what? Just leave! If you don't like it, go anywhere but here! We don't need you!
I'm just gonna say one thing. Carly is not auto-tuned. I have been a fan of hers for 2 years now. I just saw her live for the first time last week, and she sounds just as good live as she does recorded.
Okay, now I am officially MAD!!!!!! DON'T YOU EVEN DARE TALK ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT like that! I like her. She has an amazing voice, and considering she makes 50 million a year, and she has been doing this since she was 15 (she signed the record deal w/ Big Machine Records) @ 14 she was writing songs for other artists. She has a long career ahead of her.
I think it's hard to compare them because they are completely different styles. But I give her props for doing a cover of this song. It has such great lyrics.
When it comes to music I usually don't like remakes. I was alive and well when Joni Mitchell released the original. I think Carly Rae has done a great job of exposing younger generations to what I believe is a great song! Good for you Carly Rae.
i love this version sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially the pop beat
First of all, "Call Me Maybe" did AMAZING. Everyone knows the song, everyone loves the song, whether they'd like to admit it or not. Call me maybe when you have a popular song that everyone knows. Second, she is NOT a brat one bit. She is so sweet, and down to earth. I've seen her live, she CAN sing.. her voice is unique, and beautiful. Her songs are catchy, and she just wants to make people happy. Third, why would you talk like that about her? She's done NOTHING bad to you. Byyyeee;)
The weather is normally used as a metaphor for relationships. Cloudy weather and storms normally mean that things are going badly. Sunshine implies that things are going well. Tornadoes can sometimes be a positive metaphor for a relationship being overwhelming. I think Carly Rae Jepsen is looking on her most recent relationship, that has just ended and lamenting at what she's lost. Most pop songs are about relationships, dating, pining and breakups.
It's quite different from the original but it's a very nice version of this beautiful song. I like your voice and the instrumental part. (ofcourse best version is sung by Euson)
THANK YOU!!! I TOTALLY AGREE!! I have to admit I didn't know this was a cover until I heard the original (well. *a* version of it, i dont know much about the coverage of this song XD) in Love Actually and i was like WH..WHAT IS THIS?!? I love this version, in my opinion it's better than the other.
I was alive and kicking when Joni Mitchell gifted this song to the world, however there is nothing corrupt with this version. Sorry to break it to you boomers and Gen Xer’s but we’re in the 2nd decade of the 21st century get used to it.

I dunno, it sounds fine to me.
Meh.
Depends how good the original is to be honest
I heard this version first, so now it's stuck in my head as the original, and I do love it

A beautiful contemporary rendition of a timeless classic - hat's off to Carly Rae.
The words "I really don't know life at all", is a confession that she doesn't know what to do in a relationship. She doesnt' know what to expect from other people in a relationship. She had high hopes and expectations, and was very badly dissapointed when the overwhelmingly beautiful relationship turned sour (hence the clouds) and then ended.
She made it original and her own style that suited her. I support and respect that.
I don't know what people are complaining about. I have heard the other versions and I enjoy this one too. A lot of people complain about new artists re-recording songs or sampling - honestly, there is a new generation who would never hear these 'classic' songs or like them if they were not re-recorded or sampled from.

So great this version. Listening over and over. She made me a fan.

i just (refound) an amazing song i havent heard in years!
Love this song! Wonderfully fitted with the artist, an amazing take of an old classic.
It's kinda nice how she turned such a sad song into a whimsical sounding piece.
