Hayley and the Canadian Tenors - Hallelujah Many have attempted this Leonard Cohen piece and some have done it justice. Unfortunately, I do not believe this was one of the successful renditions. Haley and the Canadian Tenors could have done this piece much better done separately. The blend of their voices on this piece left me wanting something much more. I believe this particular piece needs an individual with a powerful more contemporaty vocal sound than from a classical artist. According to Leonard Cohen the composer and original artist, the only person that he considers having perfected his song is KD Lang: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_NpxTWbovEI agree.

I love listening to both Haley and the Canadian Tenors but this time I have to agree with Gordon it was not so well with Hallelujah. Haley opened her pitch IMO was too high for the blending of the song, she did attempt to lower the pitch when singing with the othwers but it just didn't sound right IMHO. Celine Dion as a surprise guest on Oprah with the Canadian Tenors is a much better version with Sarah M version with David Foster coming a close second.

that's why I put no comment with it, A few more rehearsals may have changed it for the better. But as someone more famous than I once said : "IT IS DONE" It brought together two great loves of my life, Hayley's voice and Cohen's Lyrics I have been a Cohen fan since his first album came out. I spent the 70s, 80s and 90s defending him and the fact that I listened to his music, Now it seems everyone recognises his talent and genius and claim to have been his fans forever.

I was actually in the audience of that performance, Comet! I really enjoyed it myself - but that's the difference between actually being there and watching a recording! XD

Congratulations to The Tenors for winning the Juno Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album. 'Lead With Your Heart' concert program did very well on PBS also.

I just read that the Tenors are performing for the Royal Family. They have also signed a UK record deal with Decca. Could someone tell me when the performance is going to be held?
