    Clothes????????You're talking about clothes with all that beautiful music - that is the most beautiful rendition of a Joni Mitchell song.
    When KD sings other people's songs - it's as if she is the other singer - some notes, cadences, intonations are so perfect - her duets are the same, they sound as if one voice is singing....

    Right On, langsense! I'm w/you on that. Joni being the great songwriter and musician that she is, and k.d. lang being the wonderful singer/song stylist that she is -- it's totally ludicrous to be distracted by attire. "Help Me" reaches deep into the soul, bares the emotions and intellect down to the nakedness of Truth. Let's dig what "Help Me" explores: how infatuation, love, romance and sex and that hardest of choices -- freedom -- make us feel at different times in life. k.d.'s feeling it!

    You've been slated for these comments, but I'm with you! This performance has totally over-slushed Joni's original, which to me emotes the feeling that when you're falling in love you're giving yourself totally, and you're frightened of the outcome. KD doesn't get any of that across at all - it's like any other slushy love song. If this had been the original, it would have disappeared under the weight of myriad other love songs like this, rather than lodge in my heart & mind forever like Joni's.
