Re: Leonard Cohen.

Cohen is a great songwriter but an miserable and truly awful performer.

As said, his songs come to life and reach their potential when performed and interpreted by better singers and performers.

I disagree. I've never listened to his songs sung by anyone else.

Re: Leonard Cohen.

miserable = poetic wit.

If you think Cohen miserable, you're missing the point.

I don't miss the point in his songs , just his performances.

It's his voice . It's tuneless and narrow.

That's why other performers do him better!
