In this week's installment of Status Ain't Hood, Tom Breihan gives his regular roundup of American Idol. It's good that he's able to recognize the best performance of this year, which was Castro's version of "Hallelujah."
Everyone's talking about Jeff Buckley's version and tons of people are downloading it, which is great. However, it's Leonard Cohen's original that is the real masterpiece. I also really liked Rufus Wainwright's version too.
I've been listening to a lot of old Cohen stuff, and even though he's being inducted into the Hall of Fame, an imminent tour and there was a doc about him with celebrities galore, Old Man Lenny is still pretty much flying under the radar.
