She offends the senses...especially on such a beautiful song as this. She makes it a cheap lounge floor act.

A beautiful, haunting song and a lovely, smooth, foggy voice to do it justice. |

It sure does, I was across the room away from the computer when I heard this and I thought .....Billy Holiday doing a Leonard Cohen song....how is that possible? I know they can do amazing things with technology but......  |

Leonard Cohen is well ventured because all the versions that had made of its song had been all successful; nor always it happens - ** 8 ** |

I love her voice, love Leonard Cohen too. Apples and oranges, pickles and olives.She does sound like Billie. And that is a good thing.

Have to agree. Many Cohen covers are as good or better than the original.
This one? Meh. |

I think he meant sublime. I might not go quite that far, but I agree with him in general--quite good! |

i find her singing style monotonous, affectatious, and contrived, although the music takes me back to an earlier day, nostalgic

I agree about others doing his music - he seems a better writer than singer, IMHO. I only like him on a few of his own. |
