The singing was okay, he should have focused more on the singing instead of doing it acoustic. He has a voice just there's so so so many better versions of this.
This is pretty good. My favorite version, other than Buckley's, is Jeffery Hyde Thompson's. He's relatively unknown, but definitely has one of the best versions of the tune.
absolutely. no one has really come close to that style of Cohen. there have been a few that are very good, like Damien but the really modern versions are crap. i like a very raw version when i hear this song
What a night for Damien. The only Australian Idol to hit two touchdowns in successive performances. If Nessun Dorma was the week after it would of been three, not quite sure.
However, groovyguy. I hope you don't feel a need to tell people you are gay! It should make absolutely no difference whatsoever what your sexual preference is.
It's great to relive the memories of that time. Idol hasn't come close this year. I saw him perform live in Canberra tonight and he was extraordinary, the best live act I've seen
I miss idol too and totally agree about x factor being just amateurish and a load of shit!
Damien Leith sings this song amazingly!

He looks a bit like Nicolas Cage.
I like his understated, acoustic version.
