  • Please! Don't trash a songwriter and then do it...hopefully have a license to rec a cover.

    Buckley immortalized thiss song? hmmmmm...

    Sry, no matter how tallented one is, show respect.

  • Very good. Very fluid and tied together ... fab!!!

  • Love the piano playing. Great job x

  • I love this song!!!

  • Agreed, original version of the song is awful

  • More excellence from a man that I've come to expect no less from. It's true you do sound more like Rufus Wainwright than Jeff, and as an avid Buckley fan this is still wonderful in and of itself. If you wanted to sound more like Jeff you would have to slow this down a little bit, but I know your heart was in the right place. Don't worry only the biggest Leonard Cohen fans like his version, but he did write one hell of a song here. Well done sir.

  • wait this is a cover - you go man! awesome

  • I heard they were doing a movie on his life and Bono was playing him. Is thus true? Does anyone sleds thunk Bono is not a good fit? I know he's an icon (Bono) but I just don't see it....

    manque plus qu'une orchestration

  • Sweet!

  • Awesome! Great piano playing and singing!!You did get the poetry in the song! I can feel it on my skin!

  • I love

  • Use ur lips

  • very well done mate!

  • Great job, but definitely closer to Wainwright than Buckley. lol. You kinda sound like Wainwright, too. My only thing is the pronunciation of Hallelujah. It should be more like hall than Hal.

  • that was amazing =))

  • Great job. Scotty J

  • Fantastic piano! Amazing voice! You're awwesome! and pretyt cute

  • great job man!!

  • Hi Nico, your cover song is really good! Great work, your voice and the piano - playing is very beautiful! Best regards, Delila

    Thumbs up !

  • Ive actually spent the last half hour or so looking for you singing this song on the web! I first saw this about a year ago and always like your rendetion more than all the others. awesome!

  • what really pisses me off the most is the fact that there are so many people on utube that can sing really well e.g. YOU!! that stay on utube.....dunno why you dont go on xfactor or something....you have the potential man if you sing hallelujah you could have it man :D

  • for somebody that doesnt move their mouth much while they sing its really good :D well done man.....good piano playing too :D

  • i dont mean to sound rude but ya sound kinda drousie but over all the video rocks lol you look like my Tai Qwan Do teacher

  • ure really good

  • Good song. good cover. As a singer/musical theatre performer, I would like more mouth opening to get the words out just a little more clear. but other than that great job

  • u like charlie from lost )))

  • Enjoyed it tonnes! Thank you so much :) I wish there were more singers like you ))

  • OMG, perfect. ♥.

  • very good

  • Amazing voice!!! thumbs up. :)

  • wonderfull voice and piano

  • love it,you have an amazing voice!!

  • OMG!!!! You sound awesome!!!! This is my favorite song and i think this is my favorite version of it!!! Thank you so much!!!

  • I'm adding you to my favorites along with K.D. Lang and Leonard Cohen's extended version. Cheryl Crow didn't make the cut-the tempo was all wrong.

  • How wunderful :O ♥♥

  • Dude this kicked ass!

  • Really really really nice cover, congratulations !

  • I love your voice

  • Wow...! <3

  • Wow, you are truly amazing at this song. The way you sing shows you have a love for not only this song but music in general. Kudos superstar:)

    Ms Halley

  • Wow...that was amazing man. I mean, nearly anyone with a good voice and a decent music ability can usually pull this off. But this was really good man. Keep it up!

  • Oh, very nice cover!

  • stage 11 music com Hallelujah.. performed by Stage 11

  • dude....thats amazing!!!

  • Awsome!

    My favourite is Michael Hall though

  • cute :) love this song :)

  • wow.

  • Sounds great man! I'm using this vid for a student of mine. Is that the original key?

  • @telsonater : thx man ^^ Indeed, its the normal key

  • you look a bit like Kiefer Sutherland

  • @Vanzly Yeah, its not the first time someone brings up this comparison :s

  • @NicoS24 24 is back :D !

  • @NicoS24 yes you do.....not the manly 24 keifer, but the working on the sequel to brokeback mountain keifer....joking aside - great take on this incredible song!

  • @Vanzly yah!! I was expectin him to stop half-way and shoot some russian terrorists or something.

  • @Vanzly 

  • @Vanzly hah. i was thinkingjust that :D

    he does!

  • @Vanzly Thats soo true

  • @Vanzly looks more like Seann William Scott

  • the piano is genius! i have been trying to figure it out by ear, its driving me crazy. your voice is great, as well.

  • Don't compare Cale to Jeff Buckley, in any context.

  • interesting, you hardly open your mouth when u sing. You sound great though, but i can just see my chorus teacher yelling at you. NICE COVER

  • @xfactor5492

    lol I agree. Very good but my choir teacher would have been like OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE WHEN YOU SING TO LET OUT MORE SOUND... lol

  • I got a tape of Cale singing this in '89 - the original cover you might say. Pre-dates Buckley by 5 years. . . and for me, Cale's is the best. Sings it very regally with more than a hint of desperation - Majestic!!!

  • good

  • Best rendetion that i've seen to date..well done bud!

  • Comment removed

  • I dig this.

  • I Love it !

    You're awsome ...

    I love your voice. «'3

  • wow man u are the best

  • Isn't it Leonard Cohen in Shrek? Its his song after all.

  • You have an incredible pitch and both tenor and baritone throughout. I would like to see you enunciate a bit more and open your mouth. You're trapping the sound by not doing so. If one can't see your tongue or teeth, ever, you're not singoing at your utmost!

  • Omg ! :O You're so amazing ! I love your voice

  • this is an amazing version...but im pretty sure the guy that did it in shrek was john cale

  • nah it was Rufus Wainwright, i'm certain his name is in the credits, amazing song whatever.

  • Nope, Vanhah is right, it is indeed John Cale who sings that version in Shrek...

    I have checked on the soundtrack listing on the Imdb

  • my bad lol :)

  • That was great! Five stars and favorited.

  • che voce fantastica...

  • Pianists are more aware of pitch on vocals than any other instrument, including guitar.

  • wonderful piano pllayed and melody singing!!! 5*****

  • Bravooo

  • This song is usually with guitar....love it with the piano! Great voice...very nice!

  • Awesome!

  • bieeeeeeeeeeeen (YYYYYnN

  • I simply LOVE what you do !

    Really amazing <3

  • well done!

  • Nice job! I would recommend checking out Jeffery Hyde Thompson's version of the song. You both have very mature and unique approaches.

  • Superrrr j'adore <3

  • Absolutely incredible job brother. Nice work. Good control.

  • Beautiful :)

  • We are probably not on the same page politically, but nice voice you have.

  • What do you mean?

  • wauw.. what a voice!

  • canzone stupenda per una voce stupenda.

    BRAVO!!!!!

  • you have a fantastic voice!

  • Enunciate a little. You sound drunk. Good though.

  • meAN! AweSomE!

    hey thats the best one ive seen so far.....

  • Perfect Voice! .M.G! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!! (O_o)

  • O.M.G! It's so BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (O_o)

  • veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery good !!!

  • Best Cover of the Covered Song i've heard ;-)

  • This is a beautiful job on a beautiful song!

  • How idiotic to call this a buckley-cover. Leonard Cohen wrote this song 15 years before Buckley covered it.

  • "Actually this is more alike Rufus Wainwright's version in Shrek...

    Still it's a wonderful song written by Leonard Cohen (though I really hate his version) immortalized by the late Jeff Buckley." Read the sidebar dumb fuck.

  • get over it!

  • ....He was just saying he was doing more of a Jeff Buckley Style cover....Dont be so judgemental

  • pretty voice

  • Good job.

  • Comment removed

  • shut up idiot. Jeff buckley did the "famous" version of this song, that's why many thinks that he done it. leornad cohen did it first, i think we all know it..

  • well your a shiity little ball bag aint ya!!!

  • k d Lang

  • Ta version me donne des frissons... Good job... wow...

  • Wow ...... Tu l as mon gars . Debut timide , mais ensuite tu t envoles . C est genial .

    Another Jeff .. really great .

  • Can I have your sheet music please or could you tell me where I could get your version if you did not compose it yourself. I love this song and I love your version. I play at a restaurant and would love to play your version, I'm sure everyone would love to hear it. Please and Thank you your singing and performance is awesome!

  • The song is by Leonard Cohen: name Hallelujah. There are a million covers out there, and as many debates about whose version is best.

  • great cover ^^

    *****

  • I really like the performance, when people say more enthusiasm, I found you hit the style perfectly for this song! Brilliant

  • great!! *o*

  • Nice pitch, nice phrasing. Diction is critical. Open that mouth and enuciate!! Nice job.

  • I think theres nothing wrong with the way he sings considering English isn't his first langauge. Sure, it could be better, but I think it contributes towards his style of singing.

  • That was very beautiful, love this song!<3

  • Just one word : Beautiful !

  • Worthy of a favourite!! Excellent!

  • look a bit like caleb followill

  • more enunciation would have been nice, but that may just have been youtube's fault during the upload

    anyway gj

  • GJ man :)

  • great cover

  • I don't know why people feel the need to change "ya" to "you". "Knew ya" rhymes with "hallelujah". "Knew you" does not. It makes the song kind of stilted and awkward. Kinda pitchy in places, but overall not bad. Keep it up!

  • ggod man !!

  • nice very nice.

  • really good
