    Maybe you haven't been following her career. I have been a fan since her first album when it was only available on cassette and vinyl so you had to listen to EVERY song and, in my case, learn all of the words. I've seen her on tour with Cher but TBH, I was more excited about seeing her. She is very well regarded in the entertainment industry across a variety of spectrums. She has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She is only an Oscar away from being an EGOT. If she wanted, she could most likely get a residency in Vegas at a snap of a finger. Her more well-known contemporaries wish that they had the accolades, credentials and respect she has earned.

    @@ConcreteHugh No. Age is absolutely relevant for a singer as the vocal chords change. I am a vocalist and a voice instructor and I am not disrespecting her, quite the opposite, soul boy. Why do you think that some singers HAVE to stop at a certain age? because they can't do it anymore. Just as dancers, or athletes, singers need their body, soul boy.

    ​@@ConcreteHugh Age is not irrelevant for a singer, as it's not for an athlete or a dancer. The heart doesn't produce sound, vocal chords do, and some people as they age, in fact many singers, lose their ability to sing. I am a vocalist who studied for years and I am not disrespecting Miss Lauper, in fact is quite the opposite. Age is not irrelevant for anyone, the body age, muscles weaken, vocal chords age. That is the reason many great singers have to stop at some point. I sang with the incredible Linda Ronstadt who by the way, had to stop singing due to Parkinson disease. We all age and that is not disrespectful AT ALL, it is a matter of life cycles, you soul boy groovy. I am saying that Miss Lauper sings now, at age 70, better than when she was 20 which is fantastic and a praise, not a disrespect, you soul groovy boy.

    Hardly anyone can sing Joni Mitchell's catalog of compositions as well as Joni Mitchell herself, let's face it. However, of all the renditions of a Joni Mitchell song I have ever seen performed live, this one is by far the best, and Cyndi Lauper blew me away with her interpretation of lyrics I have listened to fervently my entire life, and only now fully understand, thanks to her exquisite interpretation.

    I reember Cyndi Lauper from when I was a college kid hearing her punk and pop rock and daring lyrics in the 80's. I was sorry when she took time off for health reasons and personal life. And when she started up again, with new styles plus old hits, wow, that was so worth it, I was so impressed. This is the thing. A talented singer, musician, artist, can bring depth to so much good music of all sorts of styles and subjects. Her rendition of Joni's song here is fantastic, right in line with her other later and recent work. What a cool surprise, she is still bringing new life to great music. So I can love her older stuff and her newer stuff and be surprised so many yers later. That's the awesome thing about music and performing.
