Hallelujah

[Mesh]

So we know what made it to Crimbo no 1 BUT what was your fav..........................

YouTube - Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

OR


YouTube - Alexandra Burke - Official Single - 'Hallelujah'

More interestingly..why don't we prononce it hall-ay lu-Jah???? Are we Spanish??? J is prononuced J unless its Jif and then its Cif

I know this is an incredibley uncool opinion to have...but I want Alexandra's version to get to No1 :$

I know it will just be feeding Sony's profit's more and buying Simon Cowell another house in Aspen....but Jeff's had his time (RIP) let alex have hers

 

[misstickle]

Just like to add that both renditions are beautiful and bring a tear to my eye...very powerful song

Ive loved the jeff buckley one for years, and IMO has a far less forced aura about it. Love it....really gets me every time. makes me think of love, and hate and all of those extreme emotions we feel

Yeah I agree with that, not mad on the song full stop but think Alexandra deserved to win and good luck to her I hope she has as much sucess as Leonna has had, I must admit I do quite like a couple of her tunes
