Leonard Cohen’s song for these times seems, Zelig-like, to fit in so many contexts. My sense is that, often, it’s the song, not the singer, that creates the impact with “Hallelujah”.

I concur with P. in recommending a pair of quite different performers who bring their own artistry to Cohen’s magnificent creation. Allison Crowe is an amazing singer songwriter and interpreter in rock. imo, the best today in the genre. kd lang is supreme in her own classic musical territory, that of the crooner and balladeer.

Oh, and the Hallelujah version by Allison Crowe from Vancouver Island, Canada is incredible too.

Timberlake’s performance “stunning”? Uh, not quite. Pretty. Sure, and nicely done. But, no one, absolutely no one performs Hallelujah better than K.D. Lang. Apart from the author and composer of the song: Canadian Leonard Cohen, fellow Canadian KD sings Hallelujah like no one else on this planet.
