kd lang "Hallelujah"

This Switcheroo seems pretty well matched.

I'm forgoing the original Leonard Cohen "Hallelujah" in favor of kd lang's recent, incredible version. Particularly because it matches up so well with Martin Sexton.

kd has always had a great sense of playfulness, so hearing her vamp around a bit on Martin's song about good and evil and hypocrisy and throwing stones would work. And she'd, in trademark style, soar during the choruses, drawing out the "Sippin' Hallelujah" like it was a cool drink on a hot day.

Meanwhile, how about letting Martin loose on this song? He's got as much range as kd, and could simply slay the dramatic repetition of Hallelujah's that come at the end to drive the song home. Unlike any of the imaginary examples of this week, this is one that I wouldn't be surprised to find has happened in concert before.
