The Leonard Cohen Family Foundation has already sent a cease-desist letter to the Trump organization for Hallelujah!
@@DisaffectedLiberal That would depend on who owes the licence. If the estate holds that licence that it's not the agency's to approve.
Trump never paid anyone anything ever.
He has been stealing songs for his entire political life
@DisaffectedLiberal
@@DisaffectedLiberal Leonard Cohen died a few days before Trump took office. And Isaac Hayes' estate dragged Trump to court to make him stop playing one of his songs. ASCAP isn't God.
@@asheronwindspear552how long have you been involved in the music industry, live venues, or band management?
@DisaffectedLiberal
Longer than you have been apparently.
As an Irish person I can guarantee Sinead O'Connor would not be happy with him playing her music!!! disgusting!!
17an so nonsense for this Rashida freesome
Goshawk
The Irish Independent had a story. Her estate has asked him before to not play her music.
How vile are liberals? A song for decades meant to bring people together. The liberals spent, 15 minutes turned into an instrument of political hate. Vile disgusting people 🤮

@@jackieheaney8246 I could definitely see her tearing up a headshot of Trump.
Luciano Pavarotti, Sarah Brightman, estates of Sinead O’Connor and James Brown… they should all sue him.
Class action style.
Why?
@@kevinpreston5590 You can't be that stupid. 🤡
@@kevinpreston5590 Because he didn't ask their permission, or the permission of their estates, for their use. The management of the Village People has already requested he stop using YMCA and Macho Man. The estate of the late activist, Sinead O Connor, is politically diametrically at odds with most MAGA stances and this song (written by Prince) was extremely personal to her. I know nothing about the politics or endorsement preferences of the others. Hopefully the venue has a licence for music and (being generous) dancing at least.
They can try, but they willingly gave up the rights to their music, so they don't have much grounds to sue.
A 'broken man who needs redemption'. Unfortunately, there's several million people who are in the same boat. What a sick society.

Rufus is such a lovely human being, I'm so glad he's putting his foot down on this one. ❤
It’s not up to Rufus Wainwright to say it’s the ‘greatest song’ - a tad pompous perhaps? It’s for others to say, imo.

Leonard Cohen would be absolutely disgusted. As a Canadian I am gobsmacked.
What a cool guy! I’ve never actually seen him but I love his voice. He’s trying to find a positive meaning in it but also saying Trump is insane, which is true. I’m glad he said it.
Mr. Wainwright is a true artist and a stellar human being. Highly recommend checking out more of his work, which is beautiful and inspiring.
I love him singing “My Funny Valentine”…wonderful voice.
Can you imagine if Biden even once “danced” like Trump? It’s all they would be talking about from that point forward. They would Never. Shut. Up. about it.
Ain't that the truth.
Vote 💙
Right! If he could do that without falling it would be a real story.
Okay, but how is he actually stil President? be honest if it was the other way round there, everyone would say he should be retired years ago.

So weird they want to consume the art of people they hate, they think they own everything. And then they will have the nerve to say it's because they're "not political."
That's funny because you people seem to own the mainstream media especially in America. These networks are a disgrace. Just propaganda machines for the left.
Malignant narcissists love to take credit.. and (mis-) use.. other peoples work and achievements.
Right. Trump thinks he's a dictator who owns everybody and everything, including their intellectual property, music, etc.
What people do they hate exactly?
@@aaronday7537 The 'enemy within', and the 'illegals'.
That's why he chose that duet with Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown. They are both not in the world anymore, and he thinks it is easy to use their fantastic collaboration without any problems or questions.
I'm sorry Rufus that he used your voice in that way. Hopefully you can get a bit of something somewhere down the line. I wouldn't hold my breath, but still, I hope for better days.
Their families can still go after Trump for using their music. Isaac Hayes is dead, but his family made Trump stop using his music earlier this year. No decent artist/artist's family wants to be associated with him in any way.
The Prince estate should sue for Trump using Prince’s song “Nothing Compares to You”. Prince wrote the song and composed the music. He allowed Sinead O’Connor to sing his song. The Prince estate should definitely sue his butt off for this.
As an Irish woman, i was above all offended by their playing the Ave Maria and Hallelujah. That man has no shame.
Trump likes to imagine that he is something like a spiritual leader. 🤦🏽🤷🏽🤔
@@katellaand has a weird idea what dancing is 🤣
@@katiekane5247 he's probably weird in most ways.

It saddens me to see half the population of a great country follow this dreadful example of a human being. As many people have said, he's like Jim Jones.

Good question!!!!
OMG! Sinead O'Connor is rolling in her grave!
She was deeply troubled.
@@Her.Serene.Feline.Cuteness. Okay... That has nothing to do with Trump playing her song. Pretty sure she would not have been on board with that.
@@Her.Serene.Feline.Cuteness. what does that have to do with anything? Her being 'deeply troubled' - as we all know she was- has nothing to do with her politics being totally opposed to Trump, and being deeply troubled doesnt stop an artist, or their estate, owning or controlling rights to songs they have composed or covered
@@Her.Serene.Feline.Cuteness.You constantly keep repeating this same statement over and over again on Other Commentor's Post! Find something else to 'talk' about, or You will start to become both Boring and Insensitive!
A large part of Sinead O'Connor's "trouble" was because she spoke truth to power, and power didn't like it. That takes a toll on a person.
I wonder if MAGA is aware that Ms O'Connor eventually found peace and belonging in Islam. Last I heard, they weren't too keen on Muslims.
Didn’t know about Rufus before this, but I can tell that he is a good man. Throughout his outrage, he still didn’t utter a malicious word about Trump.
Actually, He did. Watch the very last statement that Rufus makes before the Video cuts out, and You will see beyond a shadow of any doubt that Rufus thinks of Trump as truly 'insane'.
@@bakersupreme2010Telling the truth isn't malicious
You never heard of Rufus Wainwright?!?! Well then, u must listen to him singing My Funny Valentine….excellent.
Sue the crap out of him!!!!!!
Agree!!
Stand in line.
HAS TO HAPPEN!!!
😂 He’s getting in a long line.
He might be n court until the end of his term
I'm sorry I know about this. It was one my deceased husband's favorite songs.
How dare Trump play my favourite version of Hallujah by Rufus Wainwright! It's about redemption, lol. Not in Trump's vocabulary.
Cope
See who?
@@whiskeymonk4085 No problem with expressing disgust with trump using his music.
Just because you don't like I, doesn't mean Trump should stop
It's called theft. No decent musician wants to be associated with the orange skid mark. There's a reason you guys have only got kid rock and Ted Nugent. 🍊💩🤡
Cheeto needs a Prison Playlist....
Thank you for speaking out. I appreciate Rufus's gracious take on this, because he's right -- Trump looked like a broken man on that stage last night and could certainly use some prayer and self-reflection. But of course he won't because he's a narcissistic sociopath.
The fake empathy of the left is one of their most nauseating qualities and that's saying something. It's particularly evident when in the same sentence they switch to throwing around mental health labels.
Trump's family should file for a guardianship!!! And appoint a healthcare Power of Attorney!!! But I'm not holding my breath!!!
that opening frame with "TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING" in the background is so surreal, these people are so very sick
When Trump dies, Jesus will look him straight in the face and say, "Depart from me, for I never knew you"!!!!
This country is sick.
Understatement of the year.
Not the Country, the kKK Cults want to make America a Dictator Country, they should go to Russia and see how a Real Dictator will deal with those Morons
I know, right. Comrade Kamala and Tampon Tim are weird. That’s sick.
Not the country but some of the citizens have lost all the decency and common senses….
"Butbut... wutabout duh Dems!?!" -@@johnward43
This could easily be a lawsuit from each artist. A class action even.
I grew up listening to Rufus! Happy to see him speak up
Both Rufus & his sister are incredibly talented, music is entwined in their DNA
I see more cease and desist letters coming.
The Cohen Family has issued one.
It is a Leonard Cohen song.
He did mention that the Cohen estate is suing the Trump campaign...
What was played was the version by Rufus Wainwright - as he says in this interview.
Cheerful man, wasn't he?
Leonard Cohen wouldn't want his version played either.
Leonard unfortunately is not available! but Rufus who is one of his best interpreters is?
Trump is truly insane! God help us if that lunatic gets elected! Vote 💙
@@cds1957 I said that the 2st time he won well pootin helped him win. Pootins puppet.
Trump is incredibly charismatic and people like him. They find him to be different, brutally candid and unscripted. He can spew any lie and they would believe him. This is how out of touch politicians have become and half of America have revolted against the status quo. For better or for worse he shakes things up.
@@living9377 lol trump is very demented and nuts.
I disagree. The people who support him are the ones that are insane.
Maybe this demented con artist is setting up an Insanity plea? I wouldn't put anything past him.
TRUMP KEEPS GETTIN' SUED FOR USING PEOPLE'S MUSIC THAT DON'T WANNA BE ASSOCIATED WITH HIM IN ANY KINDA WAY😂😅😂
And none of them win because they sold all their rights to small hats who are doing neat little things in a strip of land. And they own T-rex too. Wake up.

@@denisesheheen5819 Leave Elvis out of this. The man was a gift.

"Anyone else?"
"Ted Nugent?"

"These migrants will walk into your kitchens and cut your throats."

Friends, vote up and down the ballot for the Harris/Walz team - our freedoms and democracy defends on it. Vote.
Democrats are destroying free speech and freedom in the name of political correctness. Stop striving to realize the world written in the novel 1984.
Everyone whose music is used by Trump without permission should sue Trump into oblivion once he's lost the election next month. I mean, there won't be any money left once everyone else is done with Trump, but they should still do it on principle.
Thank you!!!
I wonder what Leonard Cohen would have to say about an authoritarian using his best song as a theme song?
Leonard Cohen is rolling in his grave...
Trump brings out the worst in people with his hate, he doesn't deserve to make use of such a beautiful song.
He didn't bring that out in you...

@@godsownson2469 Simple observation, that obviously is too difficult for maga to see. Hate is a sin, just as much as murder is. As a matter of fact, in biblical terms, hate "IS" murder.
@davidduarte4840 And what exactly did President Trump say that was hateful? You people are such hypocrites, because most of you behind closed doors are worse..And GOD says in the Bible that " I will show mercy to whoever I choose " so who are you to say that president Trump can't play a HALLELUJAH song?
@davidduarte4840 And Simple observation for you delusional democrats to see..The ALMIGHTY GOD can use anyone he chooses to praise him and who are you to think you know GOD doesn't like President Trump?

Funny how copyright, or any other laws, just do not apply to donOld. 😢😢😢
i'm canadian, and a huge Cohen fan, and huge Rufus Wainwright fan. thank you, Mr. Wainwright for speaking out in public about this. i love this song so much..and i'm tossed between RF singing it, or LC singing it. listening to Hallelujah always inspires me to look deeper, within myself, below the other feelings and find compassion for self and others.
Jeff Buckley's cover is also a thing of beauty. Even Trump's odour couldn't soil such a beautiful song. Trump's like King Midas, the one difference is instead of everything turning to gold everything turns to 💩 instead!!
He breaks copyright all the time. He doesn’t care he just takes.
I knew there was no way Rufus would have agreed to his song being played.
He has ted and kid, use them

Hope he owns the rights and can sue
Just the mechanical rights to the recoding perhaps, which would be enough.
Of course he does. There are 2 IP rights: Leonard Cohen's (estate's) rights as the composer, and this guy's rights over his own recording of it.
He is part of Leonard Cohen's family. The mother of his daughter is Leonard Cohen's daughter Lorca.
You People are "CRAZY" !
trump needs to spend about 14 days in jail. Paying a fine will NOT stop him......

Worse yet, are the folks that support him.
Matthew 24:5 - For many will come in my name, saying, "I am the Christ", and will deceive many!!!
Mark 8:36-37 - For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul??

Of course this is turning to rhetoric to suit Kamala. Grabbing at straws.
Simply DISGUSTING. !!!
Prince wrote “Nothing Compares to You” and it was his song and his music. I’m sure he would never have allowed Trump to use his song for anything. Not in a million years.
Trump? Blaspheming? But he's a Christian!
😆
😂
As in really??😮
They apparently pause political commentary during any medical/emergency events.
It’s so cultish, like I was watching a church revival or something. I don’t blame the artist for being upset you’re supposed to get permission first, but we already know that Trump is self entitled and he feels he doesn’t need permission from anyone.
It's pretty telling when all the musicians don't want to be associated with trump and his chaos
Like DIDDY eh?? Triggered drama queen Neo libs are too fun.. keep posting ❤
Sue this horrible man bankrupt him again with court judgments

I wondered about this when I heard about it elsewhere. Don't expect to get paid reparations. So unethical of Trump.
Three words: Cease and desist.
trump shouldn’t be allowed to use songs from artists that HATE HIM
Trump likes to imagine people worshipping him.
So much hatred!
Actually, if anyone needs to have a fit, it's Leonard Cohen's estate.
Trump played it because the word "Halleluiah" appeals to the Christian right. (even though the song is about the search of faith and failing to find it)
He didn't even know the words or the rhythm
He probably used Wainwrights version because he thought it was much less known/famous !!!
EVERY single musician who he DISRESPECTS by thinking he’s is entitled to use their song, has sent him a cease and desist. They need to FILE a lawsuit to make him STOP!!
It’s like 25, now, 25 Artists, such an entitlement bunch of babies.
He should be placed in a home
20-24 to life without parole in ADX Florence sounds good to me!!!!

Well said Rufus!
When I heard the beautiful cover of Cohen's Hallelujah I thought two things; How did clueless Trump even know about such a classic song and, "I'm sure Trump's team never bothered to get permission!" Actually, here's a third thought - Trump and his morons very likely have no concept of the depth of meaning contained in those verses.
He deserves more than a broken hallelujah.
Trump is using Hallelujah because he thinks he is pandering to “his evangelicals,” who have referred to him as “God’s chosen one.”
Facts.
