He evokes such emotion, takes flight with one's heart, embarks on a journey with horizons of beauty like few vocalists I've ever heard! I hope he comes to Minnesota some time. His every cell is enraptured!
Oh I love his version, and I thought Joni was the only one who could sing this. Rufus’ voice has this mesmerizing richness and he knows just when to pull back and break it. It’s all heart with him, can’t fake it. And yeah the sequin vest, phwoar. 😉
I don't think this marvelous song merits such an overly dramatized interpretation. The essence and simple message of the song gets lost in the overly wrought interpretation. Rufus is a terrific singer but I think he's taking this song way too seriously. The song is too long to drag it out in such a manner. This interpretation is pretentious and lacks real meaning but welcome to our contemporary society.

And then the missed note @ 3:40 by the pianist.
Rufus is so amazing. Flawless.... voice. Haha ❤
he is so good. wow
His version is so beautiful. In my taste, his rendition is more heartwrenching than Joni Mitchell's natural but also beautiful version. Superb 😭❤❤❤
Please don’t touch Joni’ s versions of this song.
Yes totally 😭mesmerizing.
No Words, just eternity.
Thanks uploader, really beautiful as ever and what a talent. Our Border Terrier was mesmerised and in awe sitting on my wife's lap. Thanks again
Animals are such gifts.

An Angel inside is singing.

auch ich bin jetzt ein Fan!!!! Greetings from Germany....
So difficult to sing a Joni Mitchel song! He is a master singer, just beautifu!
Incredible, as usual. Rufus!!
Oh I love his version, and I thought Joni was the only one who could sing this. Rufus’ voice has this mesmerizing richness and he knows just when to pull back and break it. It’s all heart with him, can’t fake it. And yeah the sequin vest, phwoar. 😉
I love this version, and I love Joni, but no love for Judy Collins, though?
Wow. It's a very rare singer who can do justice to a Joni song. Rufus knocks it out of the park. Absolutely beautiful.
Wonderful
I underestimated this guy! Amazing!!
Thank you
This is absolutely heartbreaking, his voice is truly a gift.
Great
He still has a masterfull male voice
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Human autotune. Imagine opening your mouth and having that sound come out. Wow
If he was singing this on the street busking, I wonder how many people would stop to listen?
Lots, judging from this performance.
name of this song please?
It's named, "Both Sides Now" written and performed by Joni Mitchell. Rufus gives a masterful interpretation of this profound song.
@@mwj5368 thank you!!!
Worth watching Joni sing it early (she wrote it when about 20) and late at a celebration for her 60th(?) birthday.
@@dewimatthews6037 thank you for the sugestion.
Wait, when did Rufus become a DILF?
2019
Yikes!! @ 3:28 - 3:40.
Pick up the tempo, its like a portentous dirge, when its a terrific song in truth.
troppo lento
