Chris Cornell’s Daughter Toni Covers Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”: Watch
Chris Cornell’s daughter Toni has shared a new cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” Watch the performance, which she posted to Instagram, below. Toni Cornell does a faithful rendition of the song, singing alone with an acoustic guitar. While she sticks to the hymn’s first two minutes, you get a good taste of the 17-year-old’s vocal chops — it’s clear her father passed down his talent. “Hallelujah” has long been an important song for the Cornell family. Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington performed the song at Chris Cornell’s funeral in May 2017, and three months later, Toni covered the song with One Republic on Good Morning America as a tribute to both her father and Bennington, who passed away that July.

Jason Derulo Blessed Two Men Who Mistook Him For “Usher” With The Fade
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: TMZ / TMZ There was a time more than a decade ago that if someone was confused for being Usher, it would be considered a compliment. But in 2021 it seems to be a sign of disrespect as far as Jason Derulo is concerned, and he’ll put the paws on you if you accidentally confuse him for the “My Way” crooner in a trolling manner. According to TMZ, two men found out the hard way that Jason Derulo got them hands on him when they decided to call him “Usher” and a “b*tch” at a hotel in Las Vegas. Unfortunately for them they paid for their transgression as the “Savage Love” singer put the beats on both of them immediately after being mistaken for another R&B singer and a female dog in heat.
