Oct 9, 2008 - K D is a wonderful performer with such a depth of beauty in her voice - but I have to disagree - her version is boring compared to Esther's

Oct 15, 2008 - I love Leonard Cohen's songs and this is a beautiful rendition done in a more polished style. I love almost of all different styles of rendition but my favorites is the Neville brothers with Aaron doing lead vocals. Thanks Kamaketexas for sending this video my way 5*'s

Oct 30, 2008 - This is just the best version i have ever heard of this song. Even better than KD Lang!!. I bet this comes with the "Leonard seal of approval". A fine achievement.

Nov 29, 2008 - Leonard Cohen may have written this song but Esther Ofarim owns it Lock, Stock and Barrel. An inspiring rendition.

DrusillaC Says:

Dec 25, 2008 - Beautifully sung, but I prefer KD Lang's simpler version of this song. Both women have great voices but this is one song I feel doesn't need dramatic treatment. A very polished performance!

Jan 5, 2009 - I agree with You 1000% and as for me, no one did or will ever surpass or even come close to Esther's performance of this song, her version is superb.

DrusillaC Says:

Jan 6, 2009 - 123strauss, no, I'm not insane. Are you? It rather looks like it if you are incapable of accepting that other people may have different opinions than you! Lighten up! KD Lang is a wonderful singer, as is Esther Ofarim. We can enjoy them both.
