Hallelujah!!!
Sorry but that X-Factor crap have ruined one of my favourite songs ever.
If you like Leonard Cohens version or Jeff Buckleys they are magical. Alex just can't sing it and it should always be a guy singing it.
Simon Cowell is prat and I'd love Jeff Buckleys version to get to number 1 instead of Alex. I heard Radio 1, Virgin and a few other stations are pushing for Buckleys version which I'd love to happen.
I feel sorry for Alex its not her fault, she didnt choose the song.
But oh! I beg thee to download this (legally lol) so it gets to number 1.
Such a shame he died so young, only 30. He was celebrating his finishing of his 2nd album jumped in a river fully clothed and was never seen again as it carried him to sea. His body floated ashore a year later... Shocking!!! and very upsetting such a talent...

Re: Hallelujah!!!
Some more Jeff Buckley...
Tis a little soft rock at times, but his vocal range is amazing for a rock singer and he does go a little punk in some songs...
little punkier: (demo)

Re: Hallelujah!!!
My missus loves jeff buckley,,, didnt realise the body turned up. Must have been some state after a year in the sea. Have to say I lean toward the Cohen version,,, love his voice, Im really into gravely voices,,,, mark lannegan, tom waits etc, but this is a great version too. Bob Dylan used to do it live once upon a yesterday and that was pretty great too. Talking of Leonard Cohen though,,, Future is one of the best written lyrics ever imo.
Real shame when people shuffle off early,,, but they say the flames that burn the brightest burn the fastest. Small comfort really.

Love Leonard too...
I love both versions, I'm not a fan of covers as very few artists can find the passion and soul of the song. But Buckley does a great job...

Re: Hallelujah!!!
Covers are a really really weird thing. I tend to like the version I heard first regardless of its the first or the cover,,,, just I tend to hear the oriiginal versions first generally. Cept when it comes to Alexander from X-Factor,, every cover I've ever heard from her is better than the original for me,,, she has a talent of making songs sound like she wrote them,,,,, Im hugely biased as Im a great big x-factor fan though.
Oh and timmy mallets itsy bitsy teeny weeny is a classic cover.

Re: Hallelujah!!!
Why can't these 'stars' write their own music nowadays?

Re: Hallelujah!!!
These stars never write their own music... Page out of Elton johns book I guess, to be fair many pop musicians over the last 30 years have had people write songs for them.
As much as I hate it, to be fair probably a good thing. Look at some of the shit out their that many bands put out which they wrote...Looking at you Vicky Beckham, Script, Wombats...etc
Update:
Buckley is at number 3...come on!!!
