hpw can any of the xfactor 'attempts' top this quality piece of work. it is a quiet song and none of them were able to pull of this simplicity. leonard cohen and jeff buckly, hats off to you.
well, I've now heard Leonard Cohen, shrek, JLS and Alex do it, and i think that Alex and JLS were by far the best. But this version is still good too :)
Who ever listens to this just because of x factor wow i feel really sorry for you tbh. go listen to Jeff Buckley, Damien Rice versions and then tell me someone who's completely sold themselves out on telly has done better :)
diana totally killed this song she was so good at it and i agree simon chose this song because she should have won and have been singing it there in the final
lol this is gonna be watched so much now after the finals. n the right person definitly won!!!!.....JLS can do so much better without X factor from wen they're made to sing with flippin westlife :S lol they're so much better off without x factor
Just another run of the mill boring Leona Lewis pish dull singer. Ok she is good but are you going to rush out and buy her songs or just keep the Leona Lewis album. Pish. JLS deserved to win and should of. Politics playing a part I think.
Its a talent show so the best singer deserves to win, Alex is on a different planet from JLS. They are a good group though and will be a big success, but Alex deserved to win.
its all about jls , x factor is fixed like last time when rhidian didnt win, jls should have won not alex , but u havnt heard the last of jls they'll be back with a album just wait
lol you might be right. i reckon eoghan should have got with alexandra not jls. imo, jls aren't really that good they just sing westlife's songs. you want good? get a soloist to sing a duet song. thats good music for oyu lol.
omg ! this is so beautiful and awful at the same time... i mean, the music is beautiful and the lyric's too but GOD, this man is still alive or does he hangs his self after the song ?
The version of the song on the shrek film is sung by John Cale and originally written and sung by Leonard Cohen-----although i much profur John Cale's version
I notice that they removed all the sexual lyrics from the song so that they could put it in a kids-friendly film... shame, but it's still a great song.
You do all realise that you'll forget about X factor as soon as it's over. Whoever wins will be a one hit wonder. One of the reasons the judges got rid of Diana is because they know she won't beat Leona Lewis' success- the public want to see a different winner.
diana sang this amazingly in bootcamp, she should have stayed in the finals, if she did like in bootcamp this song would have won in for her, look it up on youtube. it was great
I agree about her performance of Hallelujah, but her live performances were not good IMO. She seemed to change her vocals from the auditions to the live shows. Shame.
AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH Jeff Buckley did not write this song, Leonard Cohen did, you might not have heard of him, he's just a genius. This is not Rufus Wainwright, this is JJ Cale!!!
Them lyrics are totally different than the original, and he misses out 3 verses and doesnt sing the correct tune, not that good. try watching the version by Jeff Buckley, Much better!
