Phil Wickham - Hallelujah

[darthvadenxx89]

I find myself revisiting this video when I'm feeling really down. Your version of this song is so soothing and yet so heartfelt. Thank you so much.

[itssgreg]

58 dislikes. Biebers getting jealous yet again?

[caleballenf]

"666", 442...just doesn't seem fitting.

[ShelbySays111]

@caleballenf I was just about to comment on that haha

[TheLorrainemoxham]

I sang a cover of beautiful please check it out comment and sub <3

[wfdepaulajunior]

This song was amazing in your voice ! God bless you.

[ws1090]

[Rockystarz101]

[YTlaserlight959]

Hotel room or not, this is amazing stuff :)

[FawzyJr]

Jealous of the lucky cunts in the room next door to him..

[singingdad98]

Amazing voice, unique and good vocal tone, Halleluiahhh Praise the Lord!

[jpjc218]

Well done! Thank you for sharing your amazing gift. God bless.

[tall32guy]

His voice sounds similar to Jeff Buckley's. That's partly why I think people like this cover. :)

[AmKaSaw]

One of my favorite songs...you really did it justice. Beautiful voice.

[11jxherrera]

Who ever was in a room next to his is very blessed

[OStarlingO]

This is beautiful, I just held back tears.

[sassy915]

58 people have mistaken dislike as "dis I like" (:

[graysonguthrie0]

you sing with passion.

you sing with strength.

you sing for him.

that was amazing...

[Jared2324]

I would love to be in the room next to his!!

[DaniJmeEnthusiasts]

your heart is beautiful

[mahedin1]

tas con dor no cool?

[pomperton]

and such a light and open smile at the end of video :)

[AndreaKChen]

You really have a beautiful voice, and I really love love your voice. :)

[JanetTheGingerr]

Best cover of Hallelujah, in my opinion. You have amazing talent!

[kamikaze888emu]

Jesus...  I'm falling in love with your voice. Perfect, and I aspire to be like you. :)

[lblackburn4]

This is dreamy. Seriously. Amazing. I love your voice

[cckimey]

I watch this video at least once a day. Your voice is incredible.

[dpep09]

Oh my goodness 0:19 uuuuuhmazing!! God has truly blessed this man with an amazing voice!! <3

[thelouis22ism]

that is true worship!

HalleluYah!!! best song I've ever heard in my life.

[NoDrumsPraise]

Amazing because it is pure. This is a praise song. No drum, kit, or bridge wanted please. Those are meant for the praise of man, THIS is meant for the praise of our Lord.

[13ThingsThatShine]

I'm so blessed to have met you twice. Thank you, Mr. Wickham. <3

[CheerfulNat]

I love Phil's cover!!! (:

[R0MER017]

i so wish i was staying in the room next door!

[LAPoloPlayer]

Strange that it says he's "covering" his own song.

[BlindedByTheSun666]

@LAPoloPlayer huh? It's a Leonard Cohen song. Phil just made it awesome!

[kennydavisjrdot05]

@LAPoloPlayer It doesn't say he's covering his own song... it says he's covering "Hallelujah" in his hotel room... Nothing about it being his own song, cause he knows it isn't... and doesn't claim it to be.

[NOTWChica]

@LAPoloPlayer thats cuz he is, he didn't write this song, its a really old song written by someone else, therefore its a cover :) have a blessed day.

[allis40]

Typed in Wickham because it's my last name and it's not very common here. Never heard of Phil Wickham until now but I do like his voice.

[Camouflage212]

I like this. A lot.

[NomNommFail]

This is one of the best covers of this song. The best actually. You sir, have an incredible voice. Please don't ever stop singing.

[TheBambieyes]

Mr Wickham, please record this song! :(

[CheerfulNat]

amazingg :D

[babyhuesk]

This is absolutely insane, could listen to it all day!



[mickjagger1991]

You should perform this on some sort of idol show. I'm not kidding.

[Dez649]

Whats your tuning?

[kdmelton1]

u rocked it man.......... rocked it!!!

[rebeccaholland1997]

I want your guitar!!!!

[ericnlisa4Christ]

@rebeccaholland1997 That's coveting LOL

[scoar91]

Oh my....This is ahh-mazing!!! I cant stop listening to it:)

[jonaslayton312]

So amazing, thank you : ) love the improv with the chord progressions : )

[wickedsweet35]

most amazing!!!



[HEARTSxX3]

chords to this would be enjoyable.

[LowTechPhotography]

Pretty sure when we we get to heaven, the angels will be worshipping Him as Phil Wickham plays.

[MontageBeauty]

Saw you Thursday and Friday! You are quite amazing!

[TyMeadorMusic]

53 people should learn how to turn on their speakers...

[laughteriskeyy]

his voice is one of the best gifts from god!

[Kendallatwork]

I think certain parts and words of this song should be emphasized, and given special attention. I've yet to stumble upon a cover that meets the lyric's standards, but this is the best thus far. Emotion is not a pitchy voice. Comment with respect

[happyc00kie]

he looks like he should be wearing a fedora.

[AnthonyLmusik]

my version is shit compared to yours LOL! amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thebluebus]

Dear Mr. Wickham,

I am stunned by your beautiful voice. I love how you praise the Lord with your amazing talent and passion. <3 I am an aspiring musician and you, sir, definitely inspire me.

Sincerely,

Nicole Vlassoff

[jclayborn10]

Phil Wickman is amazing! your worship music inspires me!

[adaytoavenge7x]

Best Hallelujah cover!

[RoseMaryFin]

Wow.. What a wonderful voice! Love it.

[emilyquirkiom]

have no idea how he can sing so well, when he isn't even in a studio.. Amazing. I love phil. hes such a good person.

[Rockymcj]

it feels so fake and forced. I'm not buying it. Rufus Wainwright owns it

[willylegend]

discovered this video (and Phil Wickham) just a few days ago... when i lost my grampa. seems like phil is giving it everything... this song hit me hard. i cant stop listening.

[sprite3517]

*Wickham XD Sorry :P

[sprite3517]

Phil Wickman and Kate Voegele should make a duo of this..it would be complete bliss :)

[MrFugi10]

This is the greatest cover I've ever heard in my life. I don't get chills often, but this gave me some crazy ones.

[pesakaio96]

@MrFugi10

sorry but if you got chills from this you'll freeze from this guy, he may have professional stuff but he voice is still amazing: michael schulte

[frantastic101]

He's like a male version of Sara Kelly. AMAZING. wow.

[frantastic101]

WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW



[zipitup75]

i like how he hit the minor chord with his voice

[emilyquirkiom]

How much i love Phil wickham, thanks too my darlin boyfriend i now know his music alot more. <3

[TheBambieyes]

Im so in love with his version of this song! Please record it Phil Wickham....

[SecretMotherMan]

BIG TUNE !  Hallelujah Lord Jesus

[TheColieRO]

Best version of Hallelujah!!

[bgphidalgo]

That is the first time I have ever truly understood that song. I like it now.

[TheBambieyes]

Has he recorded a version of this song? If he hasnt I wish he would....

[ToxsickEntertainment]

Such a unique voice and style. Absolutely stand out amazing. Round of applause.

[jbeezy218]

has anyone posted chords/tabs to this?

[JesusFreakk11]

@jbeezy218 There are on Ultimate Guitar Archive

[jbeezy218]

@JesusFreakk11 this same version?

[JesusFreakk11]

@jbeezy218 Some chords are inverted, but for the most part, yes.

[KateAndOrKatie]

Usually nothing beats the original, but this is the only version I've heard of this song that made me cry, so I beg to differ in this case! -Katie

[01brookiee01]

this is what my heaven will be like. the voice, the looks, the meanings, the soul that he puts into it. i will never get enough Phil Wickham.

[soularson]

This song is about being broken and still finding hope. Sometimes you just have to let go and keep going despite those things that try to dismantle you. The story in this song has a combination of some amazing men in the bible and how they fell short. The man and woman in the song reference incidents with David and Bathsheba (the woman bathing and the man lusting), and Samson and Delilah (Samson let Delilah cut his hair and he lost his gift of great strength). Endure your pain, people. Love wins

[mrstzeed]

ahhhhhh let my whipe the drool off my face .... this is an eargasim soo good... i love all or phil's CD's and songs! got em all!

[mrstzeed]

ahhhhhh let my whip the drool off my face .... this si an eargasim soo good... i love all or phil's CD's and songs! got em all!

[whatsthatnoisemane]

sounds awesome :)

[Christiandude93]

When I took guitar my sophomore year of high school, I used this video for a class project. My teacher absolutely loved it! He is no longer with us, he died this past April from unknown causes. God fortunately called him to Heaven. Praise God and know that every minute we have is precious. God Bless. Hallelujah!

[Mr133Qlown]

awesome, mate, awesome!

[mcgruver]

Fantastic performance it gave me chillls to hear it with such passion and emotion . great job

[chadfurr87]

phil is king anybody who dont agree should just listen to rap!!!

[invision1994]

I love how he's like, casually singing this in his hotel room, but it's so gorgeous at the same time. XD. It's my favourite version of Hallelujah - so beautiful.

[TinyKnemo]

@invision1994 mine too



[insanejandel]

My Jesus This is Amazing!!

[Margiana123]

I can't put into words how great this is. He reminds me of Elvis when he was singing his heart out.

[JimmyChiffels]

Im speechless

[privatemaxcody13]

The people in the room next to him had their own private song with Phil Whickham ;D

Godbless this man, he is amazing! :)

[ccstarkey5]

singing for Jesus is like no other :)

[ccstarkey5]

singing for Jesus is like no other :)

[huffbutterfly]

Beautiful your voice thank God for you

[AmandaThePhoenix]

He sings this well.

A lot of people don't realize that this actually isn't a Christian song.... The king and the woman. It's a story full of lust.

[mdturk383]

@AmandaThePhoenix , It's the story of King david

[AmandaThePhoenix]

@mdturk383 Christian wasn't exactly what I meant. I meant more like... It's not a praising song.

[bloobs11]

@AmandaThePhoenix Psalm 51 is actually the more praising song. It shows the heart of David. This is just the song about the story. The last verse of that song (orig. Leonard Cohen) is actually quite praising. Either way, Phil Wickham just did work on the song.

[bloobs11]

@AmandaThePhoenix It actuall is a Christian song. Well, at least it comes from the Bible. It's the story of King David and Bathsheba from the Old Testament. It is indeed a story full of lust. David actually writes a Psalm about it. Psalm 51. It's beautiful.

[TheMira428]

@AmandaThePhoenix It's about King David!what do you mean not a christian song

[AmandaThePhoenix]

@TheMira428 I already corrected myself. Praising rather than Christian. When you hear "hallelujah" you automatically assume the whole song is praising. Or at least... I did before I actually listened to the words.

[leahloooser]

amaaaazing. <3

[PHILLYandBILLY]

I think Phil Wickham and Jeff Buckley (r.i.p.) have two of the most beautiful voices ever, you should cover more Jeff Buckley songs.

[fabo92]

Great interpretation!

What are the chords you used?

[K9equinegirl7]

If anyone else thinks they can sing like this or better, please dislike this comment.

[rustyhustla88]

Him and shane barnard should do a collaboration deal for americas got talent. Blow everyone else out the water :)

[LM1viola]

the people staying in the rooms next to him sure got a nice treat!

[legatotechniques]

nice

[shineyourlightx]

I could listen to your voice all day long Mr Wickham. You my friend, are anointed.

[shineyourlightx]

I could listen to your voice all day long Mr Wickham. You my friend are anointed.

[coryoung1]

48 people dont know who phil wickham is.

[LTWrevo]

COOL!

[Laynecoleman1]

I love the pick up in this song watch my version on concert called layne Coleman hallaluia

[solomonsmart1]

So I just want to say that I love this!!!!!!!!!

[TheRealScottK7]

I do not think that song means what you think it means. :) Some interesting chord/melody changes though. Not sure I totally like them, but... different.

[silvertonguedbard]

How could anyone dsilike this? And this song wasn't written for Shrek even though it was used in the movie.

[itsSaleenaa]

How could someone dislike this video? It's beautiful.

[Gernatch]

A great side cover by Phil Wickham. I love his music.

[Imjustbeautifulme247]

ah i can never get enough of this song<3![:

[samcastyeah]

Thumbs up if you've seen every other version of this song on YouTube, and realized that no one puts the soul into it like Phil Wickham. Simply genius.

[NickRParsons]

@samcastyeah I dunno. Phil nails it, but I still think that Jeff Buckley aced it overall



[thevideovlogger]

@samcastyeah I completely agree but how does him putting soul into his music make him a genius...?

[TheDancingSaxophone]

@thevideovlogger It takes a certain element of genius to be able to fully translate your passion and emotion into a song.

[thevideovlogger]

@TheDancingSaxophone Der ya go.

[mma4christ1]

@samcastyeah as much as i love phil wickham i do not agree, have you heard the norweigen singers?

[christyfanderson]

@samcastyeah He's good but I don't think he can do justice to the original writer Leonard Cohen.

[XxXDanielDinosaurXxX]

It's too bad he's in a Christian band. He could be so much more famous.

Bravo! :)

[mymompoopsonflies]

@XxXDanielDinosaurXxX thats what it means to be sold out for christ..that we would love him more than ourselves and our desires..as he loved us so much that he gave himself :)

[Codykisnumber1]

@XxXDanielDinosaurXxX yeah, too bad he uses his talents to glorify God :/

[XxXDanielDinosaurXxX]

@Codykisnumber1 I know right?!? Oh well. I guess you can't criticize peoples choices and opinions. At least he and his great talent exists for use to enjoy. :D

[Codykisnumber1]

@XxXDanielDinosaurXxX all you can do is give glory to the one who deserves it..God :)

[LaurenThePirate123]

@XxXDanielDinosaurXxX Maybe he's not desperate for fame!

[followgodforeverFGF]

@XxXDanielDinosaurXxX Sorry, but you're sadly mistaken. Fame doesn't even matter. He puts his soul into it for God, not for others. And all of the Christian music fans in the world (including me) see him as more famous than other worldy figures simply because he does it all FOR GOD! To much fame ruins a person if they don't stay focused on God. It's not to bad that he's in a Christian band, it's GREAT to have somebody with this amount of talent fighting for God. And not going with the world...

[XxXDanielDinosaurXxX]

@followgodforeverFGF Jeez. Chill. I'm saying the guy's talented. And fame doesn't ruin a person. The "famous" are only the extremely talent and successful. Not the hell bound and sinful. Last time I checked Jesus is pretty famous.

Modern day successful people and celebrities make a living for their talents. (e.g. J. K. Rowling, Jake Gyllenhaal, Lady Gaga and Oprah etc.) And we shouldn't shun these people for not being religious, we should celebrate their talents. My above comment was a joke:)

[XxXDanielDinosaurXxX]

@followgodforeverFGF Those weren't the best examples because Lady Gaga and Oprah are pretty religious but....oh well. XD

[followgodforeverFGF]

@XxXDanielDinosaurXxX Ok, sorry. I kind of got off on a tangent. Lol! It was mostly the "he's not as famous because he is a Christian singer" that got to me. And when I said fame I was talking more about the musicians that are famous. The fame does ruin a lot of them. I should've explained more.:]

[jesusfreak1395]

@XxXDanielDinosaurXxX Oprah promotes lesbianism, which is not Christian. And Lady Gaga has a perverted sense of Christianity. those are my opinions though.

[taliefromcali08]

BEST cover of this song. You seriously have mad talent & giving it to praise the Father!! Love it :)

[Soccerchicka342]

if I was the person next door I would just walk in and sit.. Heck if I was the person across the hall u would! Awesome!!!

[shortiehead97]

47 people missed the like button! :P

[TyMeadorMusic]

47 people dont know good music when they hear it.

[JesusFreakk11]

The people in the room beside him had a good night :)

[00juls00]

definitely just made me cry. i can't love Phil and his work more. <3 God certainly blessed him with incredible talent! All for You, Lord! All for You!

[64foreverlove]

I wish I was the person in the next room..Id have my ear glued to the wall lol 

[calebbaltensperger]

i wish i had a voice like that.

[bulldawg941]

Love Phil, love Hallelujah. But it's not my biased love for Phil that makes this the best cover I've ever heard. The emotion in his voice, the rise and fall at the perfect times...and yes, he is this good in person. Saw him in concert. Lovelovelove.

[Jean1juan]

is all of this in D tuning

[Lovegilmore101]

I simply LOVE your voice Phil !

[LoveLeexD]

You killed it!!!!!!!! Amazing voice!!! ♥ I love it

[LockPopAmy]

Mate. You Are Amazing. God Bless :D

[Codykisnumber1]

2:39 does it not sound like there's a random one second harmony?

[layneelu]

this hurts my heart i like it so much.

[monsterlily7]

I love all the dynamics you created in this song!! <3

[NoKneesDude906]

Holy poop....

[lautner1lover]

Georgious! I love the way you sing this song

[weavy144]

your voice is seriously unlike anything i have ever heard, and for you to use it for such a beautiful thing is unbelievably amazing. please never stop making music!

[freedncaptured]

how can anyone dislike this guy? LOVED IT!



[SRideoutMusic]

Saw you in Toronto. Amazing! Check out this 16 yr old just starting out at SRideoutMusic. She wants to use her gifts for good. She would appreciate some encouragement, feedback too. Thanks so much.

[ATOMARIEL]

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[samtftw]

I think he has the CGCGCE Tuning or something similar. It's beautiful for open chords!
