Nobody really liked the song until it was covered by others. Cohen has adopted the style of Buckley and Wainwright in his recent performances, which should tell you all you need to know.

He's adopted the style of Wainwright and Buckley? How so? Not suggesting otherwise because I've not seen him live, I just can't imagine it.

for anyone that would like to take the Hallelujah challenge:
Rufus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMrZ7lChK-g Buckley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIw0ewEsNHs Cohen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrLk4vdY28Q&ob=av2e Three different and distinct interpretations of a wonderful song. I'm a fan of all three musicians but I'm not a fan of Rufus' version. He is great though and this has inspired me to post a song by him.
