Hey, this is highschool, not seasoned professionals, so layoff. That this was even done (and done quite well, I might add), I find impressive. And this is coming from a seasoned professional.
You are a moron if you actually think Rufus Wainwright is the guy who made this song popular. Google Jeff Buckley. Rufus Wainwright wasn't even covering the Cohen song, he was covering the Buckley cover, which is the best version, and was very popular.
To a high school crowd, aka myself and everyone sitting in that audience, saying Rufus Wainwright and Shrek ring the most bells. I KNEW that John Cale was the one in the movie and Rufus wasn't, but his cover has also recieved many praises and is quite popular in my younger generation.
All silly retroactive qualifications aside, Jeff Buckley made that song popular. He did it in the 90's, so it isn't even like you weren't around to hear it when he did. Hell, I'm probably younger than you. I just don't let that stop me from being culturally literate.
Good job on the concert, by-the-by. Timpani > All other instruments.
Im only 22 and my favourite version is Cohen's, age means nothing, society gives the impression that if it's new it's cool, yet IMO none sing the song with such reality as cohen
It was a little hard to hear Tenshi-san when the two of you were singing together at times, but overall it sounded SPECTACULAR. You've made this song even more of my favourite than it used to be.
the first sounds horrible.. the rest is great

Worse than karaoke no offense. Stop singing outside of a car. I say this as a person who cannot sing either.

I feel proud to be among the fraternity/sorority of all the people who have ever sung this song.
I feel there's something special about that.
(or even about just hearing it. If it establishes itself in your head, you start getting inspired to dissolve into the song, forever...)

You also don't let that stop you from being a pretentious asshole. Guess it comes with the territory?

AND, the version in the Shrek movie is by John Cale. Rufus Wainwright is just the one on the soundtrack because of record label complications.
