Buckley, who passed away in 1997 before he could complete his second album, is a much-beloved artist whose debut album Grace is largely considered to be one of the finest of the end of the 20th century. His music was full of gorgeous melody and dynamic energy shifts that centered on his incredible, gentle voice. Though 1994’s Grace is a stone cold classic as a full album, Buckley’s lasting legacy in music is his version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which has been copied repeatedly and is largely considered the definitive version of the song (even more than Cohen’s original).
Pattinson would make an excellent Buckley, as not only does he physically resemble the singer, but he also possesses the same kind of ethereal vibe that Buckley carried. His popularity was mainly rooted in his music, but he also had a mysterious quality that made him a fascinating character. Can Pattinson sing as well as Buckley? There’s no evidence to suggest that he can. However, it seems like the man who breathed life into Edward Cullen can handle the moody, romantic vibe that Buckley gave off. Take a look at this performance of “Forget Her” (recorded during the Grace sessions but not released until 2004) and see if you can’t picture Pattinson sliding into that role.
