LOL @ all you butthurt Dolly Parton fans. You guys are probably the ones who cry foul whenever someone attributes “Hallelujah” to Jeff Buckley, and not Leonard Cohen. Face it - Whitney killed the version, just like Jeff did. Don’t downplay the tribute. Just appreciate the fact that she did it. And did it well.

Wow, what a great rendition. He really made it his own while still giving a respectful tribute to Whitney- one musician to another. LOL, compare that to the clip of Bobby Brown’s concert!

Cornell could sing ‘Friday’ by Rebecca Black and make it sound beautiful. I saw his solo tour this past Dec. and he has the best voice I’ve ever heard, hands down.
