Within the last few days I watched Joni's own official video for this song. Emily has done Joni proud here.

You are a risk-taker! Cover one of the greatest songs of all time, by one of the greatest artists of all time? At your age? Are you crazy? Yes you are. And you completely nailed it. Amazing! Just beautiful.

Beautiful song by Joni, wonderful cover by you dear Emily, you have such a nice voice and you have a beautiful dress, merci Emily pour ton énorme talent.

Emily has one of the most mature voices I have ever heard considering her age. And, her voice is so pure.

Wow ooo wow awesome. Beautiful voice beautiful song beautiful princess dress. Thanks Emily...

Joni would be proud of you !!! Well done Emily

Wow! How beautiful. Well done Emily👏👏👏

Beautiful Emily! Joni would be proud.

Very Beautiful voice, now I'm in Christmas mood

I think Joni and Graham would like this. Emily, you do Joni's music especially nice. It seems you feel her songs more.

Last week I was watching them honor Joni Mitchell at the Kennedy Center Honors. I said to my wife that no one seems to be able to be able to match the essence of Joni's style. It seems that you have done it Emily. Thank you.

Stunningly done! One of my favorite Joni songs too!

Mesmerizing...Joni would be proud

I love it that a whole new generation is discovering the sound that I grew up on. And they apparently like it! You could say that Emily covers a wide variety of music. I say that she only covers one kind. Music that moves your heart. Timeless songs. Songs that get better with age. And her love for them takes flight in her performance. Thank you, Emily Linge. Your voice soars! And we fly with you.

Excellent.. Just excellent.... PEACE

Emily can sing any song and embellish it with the piano. There are so many songs she has recorded that i am not very familiar with and everyone seems to be perfect. Her voice is beautiful, and the varied tempo is perfect. I could easily listen to a concert of hers full of songs I don't know and love every one of them. She is a great singer and performer.

well done Emily, loved it. I am looking forward to more of your own work, keep them smiles coming too. 👍

A perfect song choice for Emily's vocals. A beautiful performance.

Beautifully sung. Joni would have told you so too !

anytime calm listening & enjoyable, teenager musician, Emily's performance & plus lyrics given, feeling calm & satisfaction

Simply WONDERFUL.🌸✌👍🌺

Bravo! You are beautifully talented - natural, sincere, dignified, honest, true, and enthusiastic. Stay true to sing with peace of heart.

A very mature performance of this poignant song by Joni. Thank you.

It is one of the BEST you have done.

The way of singing has a lot of emotion.

Wow. One of the most beautiful songs ever and you did it justice. I think Joni would be proud. Great job!

This is one of Joni's richest pieces...it's a challenge for anyone...but you made it a heart-grabber.

i Love Joni Mitchell so much for decades and then I hear you do this and fall in Love with your version. You are so good Emily. Your taste in music is so close to what I enjoy it's uncanny. Keep up the Fantastic work. I love listening to you. Doug

This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Emily. Beautiful.

Am I allowed to like this more than the Joni Mitchell version? Bravo young lady. Love it!

Beautiful, beautiful song beautiful performance, beautiful performer.

I just re-listened to this, after many months. Remarkable! Thank you.

Beautiful song Emily Linge ❤ ❤

Emily... your talent is shining bright... A beautiful cover sung by a beautiful young lady! Now that's makes for a GREAT combination... and gives me bright SMILE too! 🎶😊🎶🌞🎶😊🎶

There's a reason why you are my favourite artist presently, and you're proving it with every song, and I listen to you Emily, daily. You ease my mind from daily life in this insane world. Thank you, keep it up. Sometimes other similar artists pop up, and I sample their work, but in no way they"e anywhere close to your talent, you are in a class of your own, my respect to you.

A lovely moment. A moment of loveliness. It's 70' F here in Philadelphia. Air is clear. Watching kitten videos on my phone. Listening to the sweet voice of Emily. A lovely moment. 💜🤟

*Joni Mitchell was a great poet, visual artist, guitarist, with beautiful compositions. And you Emily Linge, you always present us with musical jewels with your artistic sensibility. How nice to know how to play an instrument! What melodic precision, what smoothness in the high notes, in short, an unbeatable duo: Emily and Joni. His piano made me cry with emotion.*

Hi Emily! River is one of Joni's best. Now it's one of yours. Emily you are definitely following in the footprints of some of the greatest artists of all time. You have that special talent. Stay on the right path and your future will be bright!⚘⚘⚘

You've made that song your own. It suits your voice and playing so well. Beautiful.

Wow another great song from all time favourite - singer/songwriter. I used to overnight in Saskatoon and walk across the bridge over the North Saskatchewan River. Apparently that was the river she refereed to. (It was so cold - like minus 40 and blowing out of the north). It was a rough time in her life and she wrote songs about her life. Christmas is the hardest time of year for so many. She nailed it. And you nailed it Emily. You totally nailed it. You are amazing. I hope I can come see you on any tour you have to Vancouver, Canada.

Captivating performance.

Jim from Ohio I just listened to this song again this morning 11/28/22 and… It’s still 5 thumbs up a year later. 🌟👍👍👍👍👍🌟 ✨👍🎹🎼🎤🎵👍✨

Amazing beautiful cover Emily. So fantastic!

I know in my heart, that Joni has listened to this, and her heart is filled with joy........Thank you Emily...♥

Aced it Em.. done with feeling.and with your style...Always a joy to hear you..

Wonderful performance! Beautiful voice!

An absolute stunning performance Emily on this amazing song!!!!!! Such a touchingly beautiful performance!!!!!❤

One of the most talented young artists on YT, you are scary good.

Браво! Всё гармонично и потрясающе красиво. Лайк и подписка не раздумывая. Спасибо за песню!

Sencillamente eres todos un nuevo fenómeno, siga adelante niña❤

Beautifully done. You have become much more confident both in your singing and in your piano playing each of which were really perfect here in creating the same type, tone and style of musical foundation which is found in Joni Mitchell's heavenly original version.

Very nice, Emily! You&your voice=sweet love for us. Thank you!

I have this on a playlist with a live version by Joni back to back, I'm not ranking I'm just delighted to have both.🌹

This is wonderful! As a lifelong fan of Joni Mitchell, I think she would be very pleased with your song. Her voice and style are iconic. Your ability to interpret those qualities is awesome. This song is a great choice for you. I hope you will do more of her music!

Perfect! Your piano, your timbre, your range, your emotion. My fave Joni song. Please cover more from Blue.

Really wonderful cover. It caught me by surprise. You go girl. Best of luck. You have talent.

So tender...I was your age when I discovered Joni, and here you are SINGING her iconic composition. I enjoyed your version so much.

Another bell ringer. Over the top. Your voice coupled with your skill on the piano make this dreary world a little brighter. Thank you ever so much 🌹🌹🌹

Une voix de rêve qui parvient à interpréter divers répertoires plus ou moins connus. Cette chanson est magnifique. Merci pour ce doux moment.

Amazing song Emily Linge ❤️

Emily's vocals here are as pure and pristine as may be heard nowhere else this side of heaven. Her platinum-plated voice box is productive of the widest possible variation in tone, executed with a clarity that rings truer than a church bell, and rises above the clatter and chatter of a tone-deaf world.

Emilie , you really are a great artist , still a beautiful performance , bravo 👏👏🤩

Very well done! And that piano performance again! For a few short moments, the world outside disappears and the music captivates your soul. ❤🎶🌹.

This one really has a melancholic quality to it. Beautifully sung.

A singer who can play the piano to their own singing is very very rarely seen ! Steve Wonder , George Michael and Elton John only come to my mind !!

Good Morning and Thanks Again !!!!

Sure fire way to start a Weekend off right. A fantastic song by Emily .Thanks SO much.

Perfect beautiful amazing song and beautiful amazing perfect voice thanks Emily have a very nice afternoon

Your concentration is on point. The thing I love about Joni is her emersion in her music, like no one is watching. To the depth of the soul. Kudos to your parents for bringing you into the world and helping you live up to your potential.

I wish you the nicest musical life with your big talent to bring to this world your beautiful music! Lord bless you! We need artist like you! ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

A beautiful song by a beautiful young lady! Great job! Never change!

Oh, what a beautiful voice.

I didn’t think it was possible Emily. Your voice keeps on maturing beautifully and has the most wonderful purity. You’re a beautiful songbird and the brightest ray of sunshine. 🙂

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this awesome song. You definitely made it your own and in such a graceful way. Dear Emily you’re continuing to grow and impress me with your beautiful works. Keep up the fantastic work and bringing a tear to these old eyes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊😊🌹

oh so so beautiful 🌹🎤🙋‍♂️

Ms. Em, this is a very soothing rendition of this old hit. Thank you for your great talent. Keep em coming please.

Wow, Joni would be proud I reckon. The world is your oyster Emily.

Beautiful piano playing, beautiful singing with a clear voice, Emily again you have demonstrate to be a great music artist.👍👍👍

This old Canadian is absolutely blown away, a voice like the ringing of a bell, every note so true and clear! Miss Emily your music is a gift to the world!!! Thank you so very much.

Super always support. Thank You.

Nicely done. Her piano playing is great. Nice song and the way she does this is A++++

One of my favourite songs. You performed an excellent cover, Emily. Thanks for sharing.

I love to sit back and listen to Emily sing and very day a listen to a few of her songs. Nice job Emily.

Such a beautiful song by such a beautiful human being. God I pray please send your angels to watch over her always and forever. Amen

Hello Emily, a nice and quiet song. Very good performance. Fits in well with the time. Now everything is getting darker and hopefully calmer. I will listen to the song often. I like him. Thank you for the cover and thank you to everyone involved. 💖💖💖💖😍👍🙌🙌🙌🌹🌹🌹🌹💋💋💋💋✨✨✨✨

Nice, Really , Really... Nice One.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ *A Touch Of Class!!* ⭐️⭐️⭐️ _(Mini-review)..._ Hi Emily! What a purely lovely rendition! You have rejuvenated this beautiful song by Joni Mitchell in such a tender and evocative way! With your voice sounding stunning with just you and the piano; it makes for a unique and stellar interpretation of the song! It's fabulous! 😊 The visuals and setting for the video are top class! You look radiant in your attractive elegant dress; with the Steinway & Sons grand piano to accompany you! 🎹 What an exquisite presentation! ✨ There is a subtle more bass depth to the stereo piano in this mix and your vocals are set a tad lower than usual. Your voice and piano blend in as one serene beautiful instrument! The recording has captured your vocals wonderfully and the mixing and mastering has been elitely done by Elvis Garagic! 🔊 🎧 Also the video has been pleasantly shot with the camera angle looking more on a downward angle for the close-ups; giving a creative change-up in the videography. 🎥 A stunning close-up starts early at 0:14 with you looking lovely, as you get ready to sing... Your vocals are outstanding!! You sing this song like it is your own! Already at 0:45, you demonstrate some excellent dynamics singing; ♫ "Quit this crazy scene"♪. The control in your vocals is impeccable! There is so much depth in your voice and your talent is astounding! 👍 You make us melt at 1:06, as you sing; ♫ "Fly~"♪, Your voice is pure bliss! Such serene magic! Wow! Then straight after this; it's impressively noticeable how tenderly and delicately you sing the lyrics, as you convey the emotion in the song! ♫ "Oh I wish I had a river"♪. The way you express the words is remarkable! 😊 At 1:26, there is such sweetness in your voice as you sing; ♫ "I made my baby cry"♪. At 2:01 is a magnificent close-up as you sing; ♫ "But I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad"♪. It's worth pointing out the quality in your enunciation the performance! You should be commended with your vocal and phrasing control. 👏👏 Your singing is truly outstanding and then you blow us away at 2:30 with; ♫ "Fly~"♪, Oh wow and that vibrato as you hold the note! Goosebumps!! 🤗 Plus at 2:49, you sing such sweet stellar singing again of; ♫ "I made my baby say goodbye"♪. Dear Emily; you resonate and project such pure emotion from your beautiful voice! To listen to you sing is such a privilege and treat! 🎙️😍 Now at 2:57, is a remarkable camera angle from behind, showing off your stunning dress as you begin the piano solo. The arrangement is superb with the help of Ovidio De Ferrari. 🎹 You play it so confidently and I just love the elegant high notes. Such a pretty piece of music! 🎶🎼 You then finish of with one final verse, singing ever so delicately! Plus at 4:05 we get to see your lovely smile as the video fades! What a treat to finish the song! _In conclusion..._ This performance is nothing short of sensational! *Your singing is exceptional!* There is nothing to fault in the whole performance, as it's impeccable! Your control and expressiveness in your vocals is stellar class! It would be a dream for Joni Mitchell to hear this rendition; as I am sure she'd be honored by such a fantastic presentation as this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a spectacular performance!! Congratulations! 👏 👏

Very Nice! Wish you all of the best.

stunningly beautiful

Every time I think you can't top the last song.....you do. Another incredible performance Emily! Thank you from all of us.

That is the sound of feet that fly ! Fly over a river of notes that flow into the hearts because they are so well interpretated and so beautiful. Thank you for that.

so beautiful .thank you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is a difficult ballad, written by my favorite singer/songwriter. Your performance captures the spirit and emotional tone of this song perfectly. Thank you.
