Jerry wrote, about Rufus Wainwright: "Nothing off pitch about him. He does tend to "bend" notes a bit, but then so does Joni."
I could probably wrack my feeble brain and come up with some outstanding examples of Joni bending notes (the chorus of "In France, They Kiss On Main Street" immediately springs to mind--although maybe that's a better example of stretching notes). But has anyone else thought that Joni was just plain FLAT on the last, drawn-out "awaaaaaayyyy" from the chorus of "Peoples' Parties?" I love the song, but this is a not-so-minor annoyance every time I hear it. Mary P.
