Leonard Cohen’s estate responds to unauthorized use of 'Hallelujah' at RNC

Kelly responded in a since-deleted tweet,"Seeing messages about my version of 'Hallelujah'. All I know is neither myself nor my team received a request."

But Michelle L. Rice, a legal representative of Cohen's estate, commented on how"surprised and dismayed" they felt with the RNC song choice, which they had declined.

Sony/ATV Music Publishing president and global chief marketing officer Brian J. Monaco echoed Rice's sentiments in the same email statement, writing,"On the eve of the finale of the convention, representatives from the Republican National Committee contacted us regarding obtaining permission for a live performance of Leonard Cohen’s 'Hallelujah'. We declined their request."

The Republican Party, just keeps using music that they don’t have permission to use, obviously they don’t give a fuck, once again they will get away with it. All the artists whose music was used without permission should sue.

😂😂😂 Meanwhile, Jesus Christ happy that His Mother was honored by a lovely rendition of Ave Maria.

Judas is Lady Gaga's best song. It's a religious belief, a holy experience, divine intervention, renewal of faith, forgiveness of sins, the second coming, the collapse of vatican, the new order and the greatest achievement of the human race.

I hope justice is served! Leonard Cohen never would have supported Donald Trump, let alone allowed him to use his music during the RNC.
