50,000 losers.

How can you not be touched by these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pA5UhNaYw0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttv5dyvtF4o

Danny Kaye was U.N.Children"s Ambassador.Leonard could cool this disgruntled world down ("Till the End of Love") and become U.N.Ambassador by song. The world has nothing to loose.,so give it a try Leonard.As Rabbi Z.Pliskin would say..."You can"t do it "...YET,...but keep on trying !

Really sorry Mr Cohen for the loss you suffered financially. We don't choose what happens to us, but through our trials in life the Almighty makes His presence known in the Earth. We choose how we deal with it. Please allow me one question: a Cohen in a Buddhist monestary?

The only thing that kept him afloat was the Canada government grants to promote "CANADIAN TALENT". His one hit wonder was and has been played forever on Canadian Radio only because radio stations in Canada must play canadian content. He is a washed up loser..period and 50K suckers paid money to see this fool. Talk about being a frier.

cashed straped aging singer in desperate need of some money finally comes to Israel not out of love but to top up his pension as you are guaranteed 50,000 suckers willing to pay for this tripe !

Duh - didn't you see the part where all the proceeds go to charity? And as for not coming out of love - are you forgetting that in the Yom Kippur war he flew straight to Israel to volunteer? I was there.. it was awesome...3 standing ovation encores, 48000 people singing along, a heartstoppingly beautiful rendition of Let it Be Thy Will to a totally silent crowd, the most incredible birkat cohanim, amazing instrumentalists....it was so moving to be there, seeing Leonard Cohen, in Israel, during the Days of Awe...such a legend, such beautiful, deep, moving poetry and talented musicians...it was a once in a lifetime type event.

You make an effort to talkback in an israeli website where 50000 tickets were sold within hours and you think your moronic attempt to belittle the great Leonard Cohen will manage to provoke anyone? I really feel sorry for you, you seem to have a misrable life.

breath-taking Leonard cohen !

pan Leonard Cohen and denounce the people who praise and appreciate him: Leonard Cohen is a modern day bard. The only other English language singer to approach him is Bob Dylan. Not respecting Cohen is something like not appreciating the bards with lutes who brought Homer's classics to the ancient world. Somehow, your denigrating remarks on this series of Talkbacks, Neri and others, appear ugly.

Read his song lyrics. They are amateur poetry. His music is non musical. Basically just women chasing dirty old man. Just no talent. A fraud. To think that 50,000 israeli fell for this fraud is disturbing. On the other hand see how many fools follow Scneerson's cult, and others. Israeli are looking for a father image.

apparently the only taste you have might be in your mouth. if you watch the live in london dvd- leonard is fantastic. if he doesn't suit your tastes then fine but panning such talent as washed up or a has been is completely out of line. there are plenty of artists that i don't care for but can recognize their talent.

You complain about everything. Find some joy in life before it's too late. 50,000 people were fortunate to attend Leonard Cohen's concert while you stayed home to complain.

To those nasty TB's, I say to you 50,000 here in Israel cannot be wrong. I wasn't there only because I don't get around anymore. Also, those in London thought he was talented. True, the only song I am familiar with is: "Dance Me to the End of Love", which I heard many, many years ago and was much impressed G-d bless Leonard and may he continue to wow the crowds.

it was 1975 i was there

the women adore Leonard Cohen. He has a soul. Sounds like you're jealous, you'd like to be him.

Too bad so many Jews go to Buddahism. Why can't they just believe in the religion they were born in? Cohen may be a great performer and we appreciate his coming here, but is he a good example to young Jews from a religious point of view?

considering all of us, 50,000 had such a fantastic time, we don't mind being called loosers by a top looser such as yourself. guess the palestinian boycott didn;t work now, did it? israelis one and all!

you may be right. we lost one of our own. however, thanks god he didn't go the islamic way. budhism....it could have been worse...like islamism.

Israel Belong to the Jewish people only ! The Palestinian are trying to call them self A nation, did you read about that nation ones in your life and before ? Do they have any history ? From were they came from? Put it inside your mind dear that Israel is the only Jewish country from the sea till that Jordan river ! All of thos people who are trying to call themselfs Palestinian nation can go live in Gaza strip, Lebanon or syria !! We dont need that devil in our own country ! "Uzi" Israel 4 the Israelies !!!!
