I thought Joni Mitchell was okay, but not really my favorite. Her lyrics were really awesome because they always told a story. Now I'm not one for thinking lyrics make the song not the actual way the song sounds, but the lyrics of her songs were always powerful and made you feel the emotion that she brought out so strongly in yourself, which I thought was a really cool quality. I the piano and vocals just started to blur together and sound the same to me. At first I thought her voice was really pretty and natural but then for some reason it really started to annoy me. And I thought the piano sounded pretty awesome up until about halfway when every single song had the main instrument as piano; that's when it got boring to me. The song that I liked the best off of her album, Blue, was the song "Carey". It kind of came out of nowhere and was a change which I liked. I really liked the bongos or congos or whatever type of drum was playing in the background because it gave the song a tribal feel which was different than the rest of her album. So all in all, I thought Joni Mitchell was okay, but I wish it would have been a bit more interesting in the musicality aspect.

I thought that this band was a lot more interesting than Joni Mitchell. They had a really awesome Indie sound and the singer's voice was just plain awesome. I liked her voice better compared to Joni's. These songs always had a beat you could go along with and dance to and it was just a lot more fun to listen to all the different instruments rather than just an acoustic, piano, and singer. It was a bunch of different sounds meshed together to form an awesome album, and I seriously think I'm going to by it. I wish this band was more known because they would seriously be famous. Loved it.
