  • K.D. Lang owns this song. Dont like this version nearly as much. I've heard several other artists sing it better.

  • Beautiful video......

  • this is the best vido of the song and best female voice of the song

  • That secret chord is your voice ;)

    

  • Simply beautiful...\o/...Hallelujah!

  • stunning version, what more can i say?

  • the best version of the song ever

  • Susan Boyle does this justice, as does K.D. Lang. I beleive K.D. adds sincere emotion to it though.

  • To me all renditions of this song ALL have different takes on it and ALL do an astounding job but I hope people don't forget Leonard Cohen (the original singer, I believe)

  • @bookfiend2009  Leonard Cohen is the one !! second is K.D.

  • What treasure,a voice of an Angel....

  • Maravilhosoooooooooooooo!!!!!!­

  • Fabulous!!! Love Ms Boyle! ♥

  • Best version of this song yet.....

  • hefcore - what do you mean????

    

  • Comment removed

  • I thougth this would be much worse.

  • Incredible, Susan did a fantastic rendition, but for me KD Lang at the Vancouver Olympics is the best of the best for this song.

  • I agree with rich34952 KD Lang's version is the one that moves me the most.

  • A very good attemp but Cohens version will never be surpassed.

  • the most inspiring rendition of this song!!!!

  • Replying to cavusor14....listen to K.D. Lang's version. K.D.'s version comes from the soul.

  • With susan singing this song and the way the video was made this just gave me chills excellent video

  • 10+

  • Wonderful music and video. Susan Boyle's audition on Britain's Got Talent must be

    the greatest in show biz history.

    Wikipedia said her first CD made her a multimillionaire. But even before she became

    famous, her talent was priceless.

    thanks for the great post.

  • This is the most beautiful version of this great song that I have ever heard--

  • @cavusoar14 I love the original version by Leonard Cohen. For me, this version sounds very gay.

  • Pure, clear and just beautiful.

  • ...jedním slovem...NÁDHERA!!!!

  • This is by far the best version of this song that I have ever heard..she gets right to the core of your soul with this song..

  • This one goes a 1st equal to my other favourite version by KD Lang.

    Best listened to late at night when it is quiet. beautiful!

  • she amazed us all and to me as well

  • i love her voice, she's awesome, greetings from Mexico at all

  • Susan, better late than never! Just keep thanking God for this wonderful gift of yours. You sing like an Angel!

  • moving and angelic!

  • Amazing

  • Beautiful! Gave me goosebumps! Awesome. What a gift! And to think we were not aware of her incredible gift until the last few years.

  • This is beautiful

  • Another moving performance by Susan Boyle. Love it.

  • its not hallelujah maar HalleluYah Praise you Yah (the name of the father)

  • @justme488 ...and what name would that be?

  • @AegisNova That name IS Yah...thats why it aint Hallelujah but HalleluYah witch means: Praise you Yah. Or Yahoshua means Yah = salvation...

  • @justme488 yer ok, tell it to someone who cares

  • @justme488 I hadn't thought of it that way. Thank You.

  • @AegisNova UR welcome al praises to the most High:)i felt blessed 2 when i heard it

  • Leonard Cohen must be very happy :)

    I love this song just like I loved John Cale version :)

  • Just beautiful. Love the end where she just stops. Perfect.

  • The number of times kd lang's name is mentioned speaks for itself. I love this song, and there are many good covers--Buckley is one--but kd lang's numerous live performances are the best for me. When kd sings, I feel the music, and as with all live performances, each is a little different. This is nice, but I doubt I'll listen to it again.

  • The photography is wonderful here, and accompanies Susan Boyle's strong version of this amazing song. I love it. Thank you.

    Brenda

  • just like her Christmas CD It gives me shivers because I can hear her faith in her wonderful voice.

  • So beautiful.

  • Truly....very Angelic.....For she possess the voiceof an amazing Angel..........God Bless You Susan Boyle and.........THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

  • this is the voice of an angel... the biggest disease of the twenty first century is and will be feeling alone. the world rejects that which appears to be uncomely. SUSAN you where given the voice to change that. NEVER LOSE YOUR INNOCENT LOVING SPIRIT. YOU are like that of a old prophet, the voice of the world crying in the wilderness seeking to give love to the lost. Live, love and soak love up like spounge to begin again another day. ANGELS come in forms we may not know... WELCOME. COME IN

  • @C2whitechocolate Your incredible and truthful comments, bring me to my knees....you speak silently for the lost souls...

    Love, Peace & Joy,

    Bridgette

    xxooxox

    Please enter my world....

  • love it hope u have great life

  • angles cry when they hear this it is so..... so..... beautiful susan i am crying u r too good at singing

  • incredibly beautiful

    

  • good job.. just too slow.. K D Langs is good.. this is good. but KDs has a bit more life in it..I love Susan.. She is amazing..Love this song.. just misses the joy it should have

  • sehr schön gemacht:-)

  • Susan's voice is like angel's voice. Beatiful song and video!<3<3<3

  • Thank you, Susan. Thank you.

  • KDs version was amazing but this is idk - penetrating to the soul. If it was a bit faster and longer it would have been THE best ever. it's like I'm just relaxing into it, letting it wash over me and it finishes.

  • Absolutely gorgoeus version of this song- Susan's vice seems to get better and better- just love her!

    Check out KD Lang's version too!

  • First time hearing this version. Very beautful. I still like the original the best but k.d. lang and Susan do a great job. I do wish she had sung the whole version. Felt a little cheated.

  • First time hearing this version. Very beautful. I still like the original the best but k.d. lang and Susan do a great job.

  • I just wish she hadn't truncated the lyrics like that. Let the song run longer if you have to, but sing the whole thing. Please.

  • I'm Recently Getting Over A Break Up. She Was Amazing. This Song Helps Think, Not Just Depressing Thoughts, Actual Thoughts. Thank You Music. Thank You Susan Boyle.

  • As much as I love k.d. lang's version this one is superb also! This woman has a real gift!

  • i cried when i heard this one.... :)

  • @iq1468jenner1212 I don't think you are alone in that...

  • 美しいだけで美しい!

  • tony bennett should had done a duet with susan boyle, whitney houston, barbra streisand or adele!... it would had been extraordinary!

  • K.D. Lang owns this song but this is a pretty good version too.

  • THE BEST!!!

  • The purity of her voice is astounding.

    I would love to hear Susan Boyle sing every song ever made.

  • wth 3 people disliked this video!?!?! KILL THEM!!!!!!

  • I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I almost cried when i heard it... so beautiful

  • I love both Susan's version of this song AND the video you made. Some (and by that, I mean the large majority) of those scenes were just so awe inspiring... where did you get them?

  • Splendid and magnificent~! thanks for the post-What a Great Talent~

    Bravo!!!!!!!! ♥D

  • Susan Boyle!! Is there anyone better? I love KD Lang's version, but, agree with kenkest, this is superb. Gonna look to buy this one:) Susan, you are loved by your fans!

  • @Pakadeva No one will ever beat the mightyness of Celine Dions voice, even though this is great. Not my type of music, but I can admit hearing an astonishing voice listening to this.

  • Ohhh Susan's rendition is beautiful!

  • It takes a lot of balls to take on a song that kd lang owns. Hands down, kd's gut-renching, soul-soaring Hallelujah performances make everyone else's - even Jeff Buckley's - sound limp.

    Or so I thought, until I heard Susan here. Her version is just plain pretty, exquisitely so. So pure and sweet. Perfect! So, although kd still "owns" the song, Susan certainly does it justice.

    Thank you, Sue! (;^)

  • Very nice the song and the video.

  • It's so awesome that i nearly fainted.

  • wow im just 14 and i reconize thts a blessing from god for her to have a angel voice like that id love to meet her

  • Hey Susa Fans ! Guess what?

  • Incredible, Susan you're awesome

  • I'm Wicca...But this is the voice of an Angel.

  • Praise the Lord !

  • I just close my eyes as I listen to this ... and I feel as if i'm in another place, a beautiful place ... sooo soothing to the soul.

  • It's so beautiful.

  • Susan has the most beautiful voice i ever heard.

    Give her a song and she sings it if none can.

  • piękne

  • Brīnišķīgi!!!

  • Thank you Susan for this version of Leonard Cohen's song. There are so many different ways to present this work and I think your approach is admirable and beautifully done. Your acclaim is well deserved.

    I miss you

  • it's one amazing song and Susan did it so well...

    if you like to hear a choirs version watch for "Vocal Line" from Denmark they are fantastic too !!

  • nice video

  • ciao sono un tuo estimatore italiano vorrei chiederti se puoi dedicare una tua opera alla mia cara citta' L'AQUILA ferita gravemente dal sisma del 6 aprile 2009,molti cantanti italiani lo hnno gia' fatto ma penso che un canto con la tua passionale e dolce tonalita' sia il massimo grazie raffaele

  • @tigredelnera Translated

    hello I'm your Italian fan I want to ask if you can dedicate your work to my beloved city 'L'AQUILA seriously injured by the earthquake of 6 April 2009, many Italian singers hnno the already' done, but I think a hand with your passion and sweet tone 'is'the full raffaele

    I think you would have to ask Susan Boyle that as I claim no ownership to the material used in the video.

  • Beautiful scenes.

  • Excellent backdrop to Susan's excellent interpretation. This song is one of my all-time favorites. This is the only female vocal of this song I have ever heard that I liked, and I love it.

  • Thanks for this amazing video, I love the scenery and Susan Boyle's voice of course.

  • it touches me

  • 美しい!

  • I can't listen to this song without thinking of Shrek haha...good song though.

  • božské:-)

  • Jeff Buckley sang it best may he be resting in peace.

  • @MizerableTeez

    Thanks for that ,don t know it Jeff is pushing up daisies, but I certainly enjoyed his version,

    All the best

    Murph

  • @MizerableTeez he died???????? :(

  • I love KD Langs version, but it is like comparing apples and oranges, right now this is my favorite

  • I'm a KD Lang fan but I have to accept that this version is superb. This lady has such a crystal clear voice and there is some sort of sadness mixed with mystery in her renditions. It's, at a times, like the voice of a little child but you can feel a secret passion in that voice that is anything but childish.

  • @kenkestangher

    I like K.D's version, its pretty good.I love her song from "Salmon Berries'.

    Its kinda amazing how 2 people from completely different backrounds can sing the same classic song but you come away with a different vibe after hearing both of them. A duet would be very interesting.

  • @murphfishing,

    Brilliant idea - a duet of my two favorite singers!! kd's raw,rough edginess coupled with Susan's lovely sweetness - whew!! I think such a combo could make all evil in the world cease, at least for the moments those two angelic voices blended. (8^o) !!!

    Where is the God who could bring these two together?

  • @murphfishing

    I have tried, oh how I have tried to see what people hear in Susan Boyle's voice, but I'm afraid I don't get it. She has a mediocre voice and there are thousands of singers equal or better. I have no idea what all the hype is. I'm always uncomfortable listening to her as I feel she's going to hit a wrong note at any moment.

  • @TheSumoir idiot

  • @TheSumoir Susan Boyle has a unique quality to her voice, very warm and touching. How do I describe it? It's like a mother singing to her child at night. It's very addictive.

  • @TheSumoir Sounds like you need a brain transplant,that might help!

  • @TheSumoir ..Its what Susan calls "BABYSTEPS" .You may not know about CD number 3 out Nov 1 2011 called SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME This cd will PROVE that she is not a "mediocre" singer .The tracks R utterly amazing & u will hear many more sides of Susan including her incredible belting voice ,the voice thatll make ur spine tingle, send goosebumps thru you, make you hold ur breath, be mesmerized , captivated , tear up.See AMAZON(dot)com for more into .Google cd TITLE &.YT Susan Boyle "RETURN"

  • @kenkestangher Awesome comment and couldn't agree more :-)

  • @kenkestangher Amen my friend--i could not have described it better.

  • This is nice but it can never be as good as K.D. Lang's version.

  • @1justpara This is exactly what I would have written! KD Lang's version tops them all. But the video here is great and really ads to the serenity of this version. A surprisingly good one!

  • Angelic!
