OMG, I had wondered what happen to you. I fell in love with you when you and David Choi sang that one song together (I can't remember the name). Such a soulful/jazzy voice.
I couldn't finish listening to it in eagerness to comment. This is beautiful... I like it just as much as the version by Angus Stone...
There's something a little Zooey Deschanel about it, plus you're cute like her too. Plus your finger work is smooth (although I have a hunch you might've fumbled just slightly in the first verse).
wow this probably wont mean anything to you but you have a beautiful voice! ive been singing since i was 3 and wow! you have a great style and you cover the song very well!
seems like youve heard this enough- i mean usually you have to have a a little well-placed arrogance to break through into the music scene- but, yes you have a stunning voice. thank you for not sounding like britany spears- or rihanna or all that other crap they call music on the radio- i guess you sound kinda like ragina spektor hmm??and ps.. i think you sound better than joni mitchell-hahaha ;) yer beautiful :D
i can't help responding to that guy below just to encourage you - as if you really need it because you're great =) This is a really nice cover and obviously nothing can beat the original (i don't know if that's due mostly to nostalgia or what) but i like your's much better than nataly's =) not to say anything bad about her =)
I didn't used to listen to much music, but now I can't go a day without music, especially Kuney's.
Your song selection is really good. Most of the covers you do are songs I've never heard before... and then, after hearing your cover, I don't even want to hear the original. I can't imagine another version I'd like more...
Your music's inspired me to learn piano. Keep me inspired. Keep up the good work. (:
I think your cover of "River" is really beautiful, full of emotions and you've made your own version of it rather than copying the original. A wonderful expression in your voice.
one of the best "river" covers out there! I would LOVE to hear you sing the song "This Time of Year" by Blaire Reinhard. You'd do it beautifully! Check it out.
Holy heck, you are seriously an amazing vocalist. I'm usually really picky about Joni covers, but then Robert Downey Jr released one of this song and I warmed up to the idea a little more. Then I heard yours and I'm much warmer to it. You capture the soul of the song so well, you sing with a level emotion that does a great deal of justice. I love it, I love your work, I hope to see more of you soon.
I love Joni Mitchell and I was not prepared to listen to anyone else tonight, but you are very good. Excellent. You do her song justice. You understand her message and execute the song so well.
Hi! I have stayed for listening and have remained surprised by your beautiful voice * * * * * Compliment are very good this is a stupendous interpretation!***** A hi from Pino
very beautiful rendition of Joni's River. As a fellow musician, drummer, I love to listen to Joni. Especially Don Juan's Reckless daughter. Love that album. Great job on this song!!
This is beautiful Amy. It soars like the original but you give it guts in its upward flight - a yearning for Right Now. Oops, just fell in love again :)
Just lovely. Clean. Clear. I love that you put no additional flavor into this pot (song) yet you autographed it, just so! I'm so happy you visited me so that I may find you here in the crowd that is YouTube!
Hi amy ; there a lot of time since my last visit on youtube ( some problems ) and I promised to post comment on all your videos . So I will do it . My first comment on one of your videos . I LOOOOVE your voice , so beautiful and peaceful ( i'm not sure ; ooh poor french girl :( ) and relaxing . Your voice make me feel good really good . So keep up you're gifted . This song is beautiful as your voice =3 . Kisu !
I have made all my little babies cry.. the nature of life.. ;-) What do we do to make amends? :-( Be yourself.. or be who other's want you to be? I have no answer...
I love you Amy! Thank you! Beautiful! I grew up on Joni Mitchell and ice skating too. This touches a deep chord within my soul. I drive alongside a river near my house everyday too...
OMG I can't believe that when I checked my email I found you had made a video singing this song. I had just listened to Joni sing it in my car on the way home. I thought how beautiful it was. I was driving past the river in my town. It was snowing and everything seemed magical. It was like a sound track to my journey home. Then when I got on the computer and there you were, well it just took my breath away. Amazing Amy! :)
