I would not say he can't sing. I think it is just kind of his style to not be too fussy about the voice perfection. I like his presence, his big production, and his formality. It all some across very strange and interesting to me.
i think if he's got a gravelly enough voice to make this sound authentic, but he can't be bothered to actually learn the lyrics. the one time he did take a prolonged look away from the sheet, he flubbed the line which should have been:
Everybody wants a box of chocolates ***and a long-stemmed rose***
watch from 0:50 to about 1:26 where appears to notice his mistake.
I have to be honest about this guy. He can´t sing. He is not even close to the least acceptable result and im not talking about his accent. He has a great voice but he just cant sing.
I agree this, fellow doesn't look like he knows the song.

But... Cohen isn't dead. :S He doesn't need anyone to keep him alive!

I think he is terrible .... I like more the original version. he looks like he's reading without understanding anything.
P.s. My accent is less terrible :)
P.p.s This version is the proof that Cohen, even if he isn't a great singer, can give a sense to what he's reading (or singing)
