Feedback below...feel free to fight with me! Twisted-I wouldn't consider this one a Joni cover because the lyrics don't contain Joni's modifications. Joni also smoothed out the melodic line on C&S, but Andrea Superstein sings it like the original. Be Cool-deserves to be a vocal jazz standard, and seems headed that way. Fay Classen sounds great. BYT-sometimes I get so sick of this song, but it's Chris Lee and band sound pretty good. Love the arrangement. BSN- Bo Steif sings it even slower than Joni 2000, I think. Blah. I'll reverse my comment on Twisted and say Sue Horiwitz sings a Judy Collins cover. Nice, but not for me. CoY-Javier Colon doesn't stray from the original, but it's still lovely. Help Me- Smooth jazz that doesn't make me feel like I'm at Woolworth's. Wish Joni had sung to this backing. Last Chance Lost-I was so excited to see this song from a neglected period...too bad it's country. Still good for country, though. The others didn't make much of an impression.

You've mentioned my two favorites on this one. I really liked Javier's cover of ACOY. I watched "The Voice" last season, and knew he would someday make a name for himself. I'm glad to know he's a Joni fan as he nailed this song. I've never heard of Little Emperor before. I like Joni singing "This Flight Tonight", but never have liked the many grunge covers of the song. Little Emperor was quite different. It made me want to dance like I did at the clubs in the 80's. It was that tribal dance music that I'm sure many of you would hate. Brought back some good memories for me, and the most enjoyable cover of the song I've heard. Fay Claasen's cover of "Be Cool" was great also. I loved the jazzy feel to her voice. Happy Weekend!
