TL;DR

Annie Lennox performed Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" at the Gershwin Prize tribute to Mitchell, and executive producer Ken Ehrlich said that everyone wanted to perform the song. Lennox's performance was described as "performance art" and "drama." Lennox spoke about her love for Mitchell and how she prepared for the performance. She also added a bit of her own song "Why" at the end of "Both Sides Now" as a tribute to Mitchell's influence on her. The Gershwin Prize special is available for streaming on PBS.org and the PBS app.
