JOHN KELLY PERFORMANCE: Joni Mitchell's "Blue" sung by John

[STFUGTFO1]

I am a longtime Joni fan - heard about John's work - was expecting a parody of some sort….this is utterly stunning. Has me in tears. He GETS it.

my goodness, he sounds just like her!!

I can't think of a better woman to be. This should be a reminder that we're all eternal souls...not our bodies (male/female). What shallow context these material forms condition us with. Krishna is blue like a new rain cloud...the true target of all this words temporary desires.

@tnash71 What a lovely comment. All the best.

wow, such an an absolutely amazing voice. I love this so much. You sound just like her. :)

Wonderful. Tell someone about it and it's completely creepy. Watch this and it's beautiful. One of the best versions of the song. Just wonderful.

[deadalger]

creepy, but good. I wish the new yorker would stay away from their stupid lefty politics and concentrate on fiction and cool stuff like this

[wystan1000]

they've always done a mix of reporting and fiction... don't see why they should change now

John Kelly is in talk of the town in this weeks (August 10th) New Yorker. It's like, my dream in life to be featured in the New Yorker, way to live it, Mr. Kelly :)

pese a lo grotesco le sale muy bien jajajajja, sería mejor sin la peluca

Reminds me of all those Wigstocks of yesteryear on acid, 'shrooms or x in the East Village's Thomkins Square Park, NYC. Pre-gentrification, Pre-Guliani, of course. When New York was New York.

coolest comment I've read sounds like the start of a novel

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
