"So it is." he agrees, moving up onto stage. As much as this isn't his scene usually, Jon is actually pretty comfortable in the spotlight. He does his best work under pressure, in the moment - and just gets in trouble when he has too much time to think.
The first notes of Cohen's Hallelujah hit. By that time, he's settled down on a wooden stool on stage. After those first few notes, his usual clear tones have dropped a good bit, and his voice has taken on a remarkable Cohen-like rust.
That is, right up until the 'major lift' - there, he stands, his voice rising to hit the notes, more akin to Buckley's rich tones, but K.D. Lang's energy and general take on the song, losing all of the rust and old-blues-singer gravel he began with. Throughout, he moves, undaunted by any of the notes, rises and falls -
right up til the 'shoot someone who outdrew you', and accompanying 'cold and broken hallelujah' - with the shift in tone, he settles back onto the stool, and his voice drops back down, acquiring all the gravel and solemnity again to the finish.
