Amelia - Joni Mitchell

[jaakriaj]

God bless you, Vaniglio!



[lessthan427]

brilliant. very beautiful.

[bighousebobby]

Damned good job brother!!!!

[LisleScott]

your voice has awesome tone! (now just find an HD cam to put vids up with :) )

[FENNYMAN]

Wow! This is so good.

[RichardFeynmanRules]

Terrific cover! thanks for sharing this song and your heart!

[Biggonces]

Thank you for recreating my favourite song of Joni Mitchell. Just lovely and expressive. and quite a voice. Take it from a voice teacher who loves Joni. Kudos to you young man.

[mjm290853]

Great cover both vocally and musically, which i normally shy away from, especially anyone trying to cover the greatest female singer of all time, simply a tremendous attempt, and you are in my playlist.

[cigarzan]

Really nice work.

[seilaluce]

Oh... beautiful... oooh...

[wolfhilda]

That's fuckin' great !

[tamsarian9]

Well done. Tough to do justice to such a transcendent (and subjective) piece of work, but you've nailed it.

[sawyer1927]

That was really superb man- this is one of my favourite songs and you made me like it even more-thanks!

[Meta1Head91]

I don't really care if your gay or straight but if you get offended by people calling you gay, remember that you sang the line " I crashed into his arms". Other than angry youtubes with their own sexually frustrated lives, most people think you did a good job. Which you did. Keep it up.

[vaniglio]

@Meta1Head91 Thnk you for appreciating.

Actually I don't know where you got that I get offended by being called gay from. I really am not offended, just because I think that being gay is not a bad thing, it's like people saying I'm redhead, it might be true or not, but nothing's wrong with that. Plus, I am gay, so how could I get offended by being called what I am?

[Meta1Head91]

@vaniglio Well that reply deserves a few thumbs up at least as well as your video. Sadly I can only give one until it allows me to give another. I thought I saw some negative comments but now that I check again, they are not there. I may be getting this video confused with another, or I am just losing it. Anyway, keep on playing.

[vaniglio]

@Meta1Head91 yeah, I've got somebody trying to offend me calling me gay on some other video, that's true, but I'd rather reply sarcastically or ironically, I don't get offended by that.

[OlymPigs2010]

Excellent Effort!

[fubar50cat]

from the vid, I can't tell if you are a dude or a lady, so, good job, you missed some chord progressions, but otherwise, great, voice is right on. I liked it, and I am hard to please.

[ethan57]

Wonderful!

[dellagabri]

Che bella è una delle mie preferite.. interessante la tua interpretazione..

[sechogs1]

pretty

[sicog72]

just beautiful! goose bumps and tears! thank you!

[edoko63]

nice job indeed.

[mhowardONE]

This man is so good he makes my teeth ache -- I have know joni for years since 1969 Clouds ( not a real friend--known her music) this person is good enough to get a "dtae" and a producer--any chance that might happen?

[AntonMc1]

aye dont mind the naysayers you did well bro quite androgonous thats no how ye spell it dont hunt me doon you u tube maddies

[cbh639k]

good understanding of the chords.., big shame about the vocals. Nice try tho...

[MrGenedancingmachine]

@cbh639k you are a fuckin dickhead

[nllleonard]

I love this song.  You did it great justice.

I am subscribing. ~NAncy

[kenac64]

wow....great!

[fubarcat50]

dude,,,, you really rocked this song, i bet joni woulld be impressed---- top marks all the way!!!

[burgersoft777]

Oh my you nailed it, I'd love to play some nice slide with this.

[chris52925]

Fab open tuning. I have been a Joni fan for 40 years and no man has ever impressed me this much. Well done. Fantastic!!! Chris xxx

[folkmusicgirl]

Your vocals and guitar work very, very well.

Really an excellent cover you have accomplished here. One of the better covers of a Joni Mitchell song.

[roz59]

Love you Vangilo...love your love for Joni's music! I will always be one of your biggest fans :)

[fubarcat50]

wow, i mean great, i think you understand that song, nice

[jamielynnfox]

Unreal!!! You blow my mind!

[MissSkeptic]

This is my favorite Joni song. You rendered it beautifully. And your voice is absolutely transcendent.

[reliablebow]

beautiful! Excellent Voice and the song...sweet

[trossachs2003]

Mr Vaniglo, this is a very creditable cover of a difficult song to sing. I just wondered if you are using a standard tuning or a Joni tuning.

[vaniglio]

Thank you.

It's a Joni tuning, CGCEGC

[psalvustube]

Molto bella. Complimenti!

[paulwells26]

Wow man!!..Really beautiful. Great job with a masterpiece of a song.

[PsyD1990]

You play beautifully, and for those who never heard Joni sing it, excellent cover. Joni's a bit like Roy Orberson, covers are impossible.

[trossachs2003]

Actually she is very coverable and has had more hits for others than for herself. Because she writes great songs. Not all are easy though, including this.

[Scotttabla]

Very nice. I loved it.-Scott

[skycladwow]

Very good, you play the guitar well, love your voice :)

[banalone]

This is very nice. thank you.

[lizzboa]

Si su papa entra al cuarto y lo ve cantando eso el hombre le va a meter unos buenos correazos

[pplou22]

Genial comentario, no puedo parar de reirme!

[bepibau]

Te felicito por tu sensibilidad...

[mirandazar]

good ...but no one plays the way joni does

[flosse2001]

You`re great. I need you in Berlin for the Joni Mitchell Tribute. Greetings Pam

[turnipgreen17]

Wow! Very good!

[sdec2008]

Fantastic. "Dotdadee" isn't exactly in a position to speak as he hasn't posted any videos of his or her self singing and playing like that... it's usually the one's who criticise like that who do nothing themselves. Keep doing what you're doing.

[FeralBeing]

screw dotdadee-- play good songs that you like, doesn't matter who wrote them. ENJOY MUSIC!

[pesenti12]

Ciao Danilo, questa canzone e' sublime e tu la interpreti veramente con il cuore. Ti ringrazio per aver pubbilcato questo video che tocca corde molto profonde dell'anima.

Spero un giorno di incontrarti e di suonare un po' insieme!

[pesenti12]

Amelia....it was just a false alarm...

Caro Danilo, come tu ben sai, questa e' molto piu' di una canzone, e' poesia, e' qualcosa che va al di la'... e tu l'hai resa in maniera egregia --> Ho la pelle d'oca!

Grazie per avere interpretato e messo sul web questo video. Io mi sono iscritto dieci minuti fa a Youtube e uno dei motivi per averlo fatto era quello di poterti scrivere questo messaggio.

[vaniglio]

Grazie mille, davvero, non so che dire...

;o)

[papagena87]

ciao, complimenti!...e poi brano stupendo! ma usi un'accordatura aperta vero?? puoi dirmi quale?

[vaniglio]

grazie per i complimenti (o;

CGCEGC

[olmer77]

Nice job Danilo, you have a beautiful voice and nice vibrato... Warm regards from France...

[vaniglio]

merci (o;

[lerayonu]

ciao Vaniglio

abbiamo gli stesi gusti, ma io non potrei cantare così....

[dineromark]

très bien bravo

très beau cette chanson

Pascal de paris

[mojalewastopa]

..love this song..good performance!..

[eskimoposh]

(jaw on the floor, eyes bugging out, shaking head in disbelief at how beautifully covered this classic is!)

BRAVO!!!

[zabrar]

Perfect! I got the same emotional vibe that I would have got listening to the original.

[vaniglio]

oh god, thanks!

[gunneralquist]

To say I was surprised after watching this video is a huge understatement. This performance is unbelievable. It's simply incredible.

[dotdadee]

Yea, but DON'T title this video as though it is a Joni Mitchel video. Or, was that a ploy to get more people to watch it? C'mon....PUT YOUR OWN NAME in the title.

[vaniglio]

Oh c'mon, don't you see it's not Joni in the little icon image when you click on the video??

[dotdadee]

Yeah, I totally understand your marketing. If you used your OWN name in the title and not Joni's, you would not have gotten over 5,600 hits. I mean, who knows when one sees the icon pic of the video? For all a viewer knows, this could be a version that Joni did with an unknown guitar player, in which it would be a rare clip. We are ALWAYS looking for those types of clips. How about the next time you post a video, use your OWN name and then it won't be misleading and disingenuous. But less hits.

[vaniglio]

Ok you may be right.

But you have to believe and trust me when I say I had no intention to be misleading and dishonest.

I will follow your advice.

But, anyway, you're by far the first who is complaining about this.

I expect you to post this comment on the others zillion covers which have no name other than the original artist in the title.

[dotdadee]

I am not complaining. I am only stating some obvious facts. So, since there is no complaint, I am not the 1st. Don't "expect" me to post anything on anyone's video. I was looking for some Joni videos and thought that your video was of HER. I wasn't and so, the fact is, your title was misleading. I mean do what you want, and I'm sure you will, but if you don't want comments of ALL types, then disable the comments feature of your video. You think every comment will be those of adoration?

[vaniglio]

This is becoming really unpleasant.

I have 100 videos, and god knows how many negative comments are there. I won't ask you to go read 'em cause you might think I'm doing that to increase the hits on my other videos with one more.

What makes me mad is that you are stating that I didn't write my name in the title just to get more hits.

[dotdadee]

Yes, thats what I'm stating. Do I need to say I am sorry because my posts make you feel unpleasant and mad & to be impressed that you have over 100 videos on here, the comments being mostly that of supreme adoration that as a man you can do a good copy of a woman who you have set up on a pedestal like a goddess? No, I'm not sorry and I'm not impressed. YOU put yourself out here for the masses and if you didn't expect comments of ALL types then you should have disabled the comments function.

[vaniglio]

Whatever.

If I didn't want negative comments I would've deleted yours as soon as I'd read it. Even though it's not a comment about the video or the performance, but about my intentions.

[dotdadee]

Danilo, I have a GREAT idea. Why not find your OWN voice with your OWN music instead of trying to be another person. Who knows? If you follow my idea you may see that this post that you are now reading could be the MOST productive and valuable post you ever read. None of my previous comments were negative. They were comments to try to help you become your OWN musician and singer. Admire Joni, but be yourself. You can then become an original.Find yourself and let the world discover you.

[ostellamaria]

mighty impressive. joni would be proud, i'm sure. seriously, amelia has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[kizzbizzy]

this is great.

not many people can cover joni well.

[GODHATESWBC]

I love this song and I so wanted your version to be awful (not least cos i can't play or sing it myself !) - BUT .... this is SUPERB - you are very talented and have a beautiful voice ... you're gorgeous too !

[vaniglio]

Thankyou

[onlineangel100]

You ve got a fantastic voice...I've been wanting to learn this for ages...what tuning is it in?? :)

[vaniglio]

Thanks. It's CGCEGC.

[CharlieMoher]

Yes definately a favourite of mine also. Did you get those chords out of a book or on the net ?

[guitarguy10000]

Unbelievable.

[alexnovi]

Danilo...

That was outstanding, truly. What a fluent instrument you have in your voice! Next time I'm in Bari, I want to see you perform live.

Alessandro

[vaniglio]

well, I don't perform live, just in my bedroom :o)

[yewluan]

you give this song justice! kudos!

[DonsRecklessSon]

Hi Vaniglio...liked this a lot. Found you through another Joni fan that has recorded some Joni songs too..DamianNixon@youtube.

Keep up the good playing!

[drstulu]

This is a very good rendition of this song. One of my fovorite Joni Mitchell songs also.

[sleakitweasel]

I see a lot of these 'covers'. Almost all are toe-curlingly embarrassing.

Yrs is not.

:-)

[martinevans123]

no oneclass, we're just all tired of you shabby porn spammers inflicting your junk on us music lovers. I wish you endless action. This is FREE too!!

[schaakte]

really amazing how good he is...really

[Creamtangerine]

Very nice. Lovely.

[JagGuy2000]

Amazing...you capture the pure essence of Mitchell while enfusing her lyric and melody with your own sensibility. I can really tell that this song meant as much to your life as it has to mine...

[martinevans123]

for me, this is a fautless performance, just beautiful. Miss your "Little Green" which was also brilliant. You should be very proud of this.

[trailgrrl06]

Beautiful!

[jacobjoal]

I think I'm in love. Marry me!!! I like this version of the song a great deal

[Kuramata]

How I wish it was possible to compare this version with your old one. I send you my best wishes.
