Watch Joni Mitchell Cover Elton John’s ‘I’m Still Standing’ With Her Own Lyrical Twists


Joni Mitchell covered Elton John's 'I'm Still Standing' with Annie Lennox and Brandi Carlile at the Library of Congress 2024 Gershwin Prize ceremony.

Joni Mitchell performed Elton John ’s “I’m Still Standing” at the Library of Congress 2024 Gershwin Prize for Popular Song ceremony, which took place last month at DAR Revolution Hall in Washington, D.C., and aired last night, April 8, on PBS. “So much so that she was given the green light by Elton and Bernie to change some of the lyrics to fit her, which is honestly the most Joni Mitchell thing I think I’ve ever heard of.” “I’ve been writing songs with Bernie for 56 years, and we never thought that that one day this might be bestowed upon us,” John said in a previous statement about receiving the prize.
