[losmalqueridos2009]

Great voice, I loved it!!! =)

[globalmack]

Nice......... tuned up and everything. just ask sexy a Joni herself.

[TheThechokmah777]

The MOST beautiful cover of this song I have ever heard, and you are so beautiful! WOW BRAVO ! amazing cover

[kindofwonderful]

this is ridiculously good.

[tessajanepogostick]

Holy moley. This is gorgeous.

[shasha0amy]

Love this version. What chords are you using?

[horrorscope71270]

This is one of THE best covers for this song I've EVER heard...I listened to this fourty+ times while I was writing on the comptuer, lol.

[Wejamin]

Smooth... Muuuah! Bravo!

[bigben1986]

from 0:41-0:46 oh maaaaaaaan

[AmandaLeKlassen]

holy crap. i love you.

[ejwert]

Great Greta......!!!

[BaggyJeansBoy]

This is pretty spectacular!!!

[curious27]

If you disliked this, you're a flat out hater. Period.

[ricardojriveraa]

does anyone have the tuning. willing to pay.

[lanijo58]

This is one of the hardest song to play and sing, EVER you did GREAT!! You sure do this song better than K.D. Lang (if you saw that tribute to Joni) Anyway you keep up your music, I think Joni would be proud!!!!

[troupedodoop]

one of my faviorite songs of all time. you complimented it beautifully. Incredible how u put your 'swag' on it!

[myrnalovescats]

this is super awesum! You covered this great !

[nikkiluv543]

You seriously have one of the most amazing voices.

[bassbreaker]

wow what a serious cover! beautiful voice

[lneidhold]

One of my favorite tunes of all time. The difficulty with Joni's music is that it is so personal and as such, so difficult to cover. You, Ms. Elbert, have not covered it. Instead, you have made it your own. You perform this as if you own it. This is special.

[Algorythm1]

You are fantastic !!!

[0113122]

pretty good

[tinacious1969]

wow.

[jthayer6512]

You are terrific!!!! You give this song your own personality without robbing Joni's! You really MUST persue a singing career....you need to go on American Idol!

[bigben1986]

THIS IS AWESOME.............U BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYES. LOTS OF TEARS. THANK YOU .

[1322ajtrusty]

perfect

[WillHear432]

I'd love to play bass with you on this tune.

[Bio4ce1]

Nice!!

[philnoll]

Thanks. I really enjoyed this

[katrinaburgoyne]

WOW! I was looking up Joni Mitchell covers and almost gave up on searching! I then found you!!!

WOW! You are so very talented! I just shared your video on my facebook!

Love your work!

[Tigerblade2008]

As I listen to to this for the fifty-sonethingth time, I say again (before as Tigerblabe2002), great job...Bless your dear, soulful heart.

[BASSREFLAX]

Ótimo.

[Tigerblade2002]

Great job, Miss...

[singsalot72]

you inspire me

[MrSharpfocus]

I was surfen, trying to forget the usual Kobayashi Maru that others give me to deal with at work. I went to the web and as always chose music to take me away. THEN I stumbled upon Emily Elbert doing “Help Me”! OMG!!! Needless to say I spent the rest of the night with Emily other YouTube songs. Emily, Please do an entire a cover disc of Joni's best! Thank you so much! Some have tried but not many can equal her voice range or tuning complexity. You do her Right!

[marstrings]

This is great. Hands need to grow into the guitar a bit, but she has a great touch, a good ear for pitch, sings it brilliantly; performs the song, doesn't just recreate it.

(10 dislikes? Who could dislike this?)

[Dboyburke]

and, I'm hooked.

[SEFINCH]

Ya knocked my socks off young lady. You've garnered another fan!

[Walrusbonzo]

Great cover, somewhat better than mine! Keep up the great work, your voice and guitar playing are both beautiful.

[lrover03]

I am very impressed. I had the album when it first came out, and love Joni's stuff. You most definitely do it justice!! :))

[lizzabbott]

OH MY GOD!!! WOW doesn't begin 2 describe. I've been a Joni fan for decades, heard all sorts of now famous female singer songwriters when they were coming up - playing in small bars - & you surpass them all ( I am talkin' about, specifically: Jewel, Shawn Colvin, Ani D, Suzanne Vega and more). I have a HUGE frame of reference when it comes to TALENT....and YOU are INCREDIBLE!!! I sooo hope that Joni gets to hear this. She should! She would be BLOOOWN AWAAAY! Congratz, kudos & all the very best!

[revolution1940]

chills.

[ToryallDayy]

good job girl!!!! joni's my favorite and most people butcher her shit....but not you! your voice is beauuuutiful

[wesleysamms]

Hey Emily! I stumbled upon this looking for help learning to play this song :)

you sound amazing! ...I wanna learn it in standard tuning though... :)

keep up the good work!

[putkettleonfilms]

Excellent cover! You are very talented.

[meknatronik]

anyone doing Joni's stuff is in my 'cool' book! by the looks of your barre chords you must be using an awkward Joni style open tuning. respect girl!

[OpheliaViolet]

Amazing.

[gr8fulgest]

Absolutely a natural! Perfect! What is your musical background?

[snootzie78]

awesome

[DaisiKellermann52]

Grab the audio from this video at soundnabber doht cohm.

[songformoses]

You're amazing Emily! I've been following you on Youtube for a few years, and this cover still remains to be one of my favourites! Cheers to all of the souls you touch! :D\

[tofujelly]

BRILLIANT!

[Mr2004GUGA]

How the hell do u dislike this...almost better than the original for cryin' out loud

[lbrj720]

DAM i just love u seriously thank God i found an incredible artist an original number one fan :D

[chefsu11715]

WOW ! Great rendition! Bravo Emily!

[heyxxmichelle]

youre sooo talented!! i love joni mitchell ! :)

[333pg333]

As an old Joni fan I am thrilled to see someone so young doing such a good rendition of a Joni classic while also stamping your own indelible impression on it.

Just make sure you tune your instrument properly next time.

Great stuff!!!

[tteplinsky]

@333pg333

Her instrument is tuned just fine.

[333pg333]

@tteplinsky Err...no it isn't. You're only proving you can't hear it either.

[Xtophemann]

I love your style, you feel music is really nice

[bettychambers]

WOW !!!!! thats awesome, i need to play bass or write songs for you

[BOJOPAWS]

You're AWESOME

[guzzialex]

tuning is D A D Fsharp A C sharp

Emily I have played with a lot of well known people and I know when someone has it and you got it with this song. Do not become a showpiece, be true.

[itsamaydayparade]

when it comes to gracious comments on covers, i'm pretty stingy. but this cover is worthy of praise. most people are great technical players but have no soul. YOU ROCK!

[bookcartpeddlerny]

Very lovely rendittion. Thank you so much!

[martinjp1958]

Nice interpretation. Great chordal work, beautiful voice...does one need any more?

[pfflyers1]

You choose one of the most difficult numbers to cover and just flat out nailed it

......And I thought only Joni could put it off : )

[pacificislandbeing]

Awesome! ! ! is that regular tuning? please, is there any way can you share the chords you're using? ...I'm new to guitar but a quick and determined study and I think your style is great

[MrIamnoone]

Wow.  She's good. Enough said.

[sinnedpolzin]

For so young a lady you've the voice inflections and the guitar chords and strums perfectly to my ear!

[doglovertim]

I've watched this video 20 times, And it floor's me Every Time.

WoW!

[doglovertim]

[ShuggieTodd]

[Prafeston]

OH EM GEE!!! When I heard a few of your songs I kept thinking "Joni Mitchell"!! Thanks for the cover!

[peterparkerSM]

what tuning are you in? please tell me. please.

[rolluprob]

Absolutely fabulous... The new Joni. Is that a regular tuning you are using - or one of Joni's various open tunings?

[larryboyofok]

This is a great cover, this is a very hard song. God bless you young lady.

[TheAngelicRider]

WOW :O

[tommyceverywhere]

soo Awesome!!!!!!!

[Randeelynn]

You do it better than Joni Mitchell.  Way to go Emily!!

[noelle4luv]

[bretagnification]

absolutely amazing, can't stop listening to this song :) :) :)

[chris49ford]

amazing! .. i don't normally watch YT covers, as quite honestly, they usually aren't very good .. but Joni Mitchell's Help Me is one of my favorite songs, and when i saw your link on there i thought "cute girl playing guitar? ok what the heck" and i was blown away .. and peoj, that look in her eye is not "seducing", that twinkle is her knowing that she NAILED this song .. emily keep doing what you are doing .. you are wonderful!

[hilariousben]

the next justin bieber ....please hurry up emily to take the place of that fag...love u

[JohnnyStarScream]

YES GIRL!! SOUL SING'A!

Emily - you put a beautiful passion to this song. Joni's is a classic and I feel the same sweet, cloud-floating joy of love coming from your interpretation. Best wishes in all your endeavors. I have looked at your utube posts and your myspace - all I can say is Amazing! Hope you tour and perform in Northern California - you are a must see talent!

[corkskrewclubhouse93]

You are absolutely amazing! You need to follow your path to becoming a great performer. You also picked a great song which is very hard to sing.

[parrotscience]

That was great!

[bushna2007]

Emily, I'd love to kiss you frenchly cause we love our lovin'

[htarnowe]

absolutely amazing! I'd love to hear you to some jazz and blues standards with that voice too!

[miserlou2]

I have a request. :)

Since you do soooo wonderfully, and your voice is beautiful, i was wondering if you would cover "A Case of you" by Joni Mitchell.

:) if not, es okay. but it would be nice. haha

[emachine000]

ese es un cover real !! un verdadero musico puede tomar una cancion y trasmitir sus sentimientos en ella

[sophieandpeace]

wonderful rendition!!! what guitar do you play?

[EmmyLuxeMakeUpInc]

this is one of my favorite songs ever.

I love you for covering this.

[Masonator10]

You should put a video up of big yellow taxi. love that song :) x

[estudosflora]

Que liinnnnnnddooo! (How wanderfull!)

Eu estou estudando violão agora, e gostaria de saber se vc trocou alguma afinação nessa música, não estou conseguindo entender os acordes. Rsrsrsr(I'm studing guitar now and would like to know if you changed the tune of your guitar, i dont get understand the chords!) RSrsr Eu adorei sua interpretação, está linda! Parabéns! (I loved your performence, its amazing! Congratulations!)

[easysuncris]

I love Help me and u performance are amazing, fantastic... Congratulations

[neverhit17]

Is she tired yet of people saying nice things about her? I think i like the orig. songs more than the covers (except for maybe "Thriller"). I think you really need a talent like Rob Glaboyavich to cover a song like Mother Theresa's "Foot Washin' Blues."

[RClaus801]

Superb!!

[rinsevisser]

This makes my day so much better! You're wonderfull, adorable and so unbelievable musical talented. Love you.

[eufiecorrea]

wow! you are absolutely wonderful!

[pichicago]

Fantastic. Awesome.

[krazyykristin]

really your amazing ha, great voice great talent

[mailboxmw]

This is simply incredible! The spin she put on this classic is amazing. What type of tuning is she playing? Is this the exact tuning Joni Mitchell used?

[mhewitt41]

As a hard core Joni Mitchell fan, I was wary. However, this Emily Elbert is something superspecial--i love the way he makes it her own with a bit of blues-y vibe to her voice. I love her voice, her style, her confidence and command of the song---wow!!!

[Celestialtears006]

lol wow this is a zany twist isn't it?

[dbarr86]

Damn. At first I thought you were going to fuck this song up, but, you are............AWESOME. Help me I think I'm falling for Emily....

[jellybelly18]

D A F# A C# for those of you scoring at home

[webethechange]

kealakhe, she'll be 20 next week.

[kealakhe]

wow how old are you?

[JosephPaul2]

I like the way you sing, very soulful. You sound a bit like Noe Venable. Great job. You also play this beautifully.

[c3dmf4s]

Excellent, excellent, excellent, job. You are there. Congratulations. What passion !!

A.

[bushna2007]

Help me Emily. I think I'm falling...

[vinnyskinny]

damn, girl, you did, it, your the first, that pulled, it off, I heard, others, that never came close, you can have my children, and marry, me too, or marry, me and then have, my children, in any order you like, I will subscribe, to your, site, waiting, for more suff

regards

guitarvinny

[stealurface1976]

[Sointula2]

Marian Russell's website says Joni Mitchell tuned: CGEEBE

I couldn't agree more - what a performance!

[stealurface1976]

strange tunings she uses..thanks for the info

[vinnyskinny]

I could not find the marion russell page, and it is difficult to catch, emily's chords, do u have that page, I tried, it, and seems to work in open D

[vinnyskinny]

the correct open tuning as follows, D A D F# A D, I played to emilys, song, I am still missing the chords, that are off the screen
