Halleluja - a Leonard Cohen cover

[xxxhorschtxxx]

thats amazing its the best version i ever heard =) sry for my bad english im german

[Fegefeuer76]

Thank you! You have a great clear voice and you don't sing this beautyful song in a wisper-crying-version. I like it! :-)

[notashowoff2000]

Magnificient.

[Darthbrandon]

That was very good, I like the voice you got goin' for ya!

[mousecantsleeptube]

nice...like it and especially the description for your video ;)

[kendermouse]

I actually sort of like this version better than the original.

[saffievilvampire]

heya great song, do u kno where i can find the tab for it? x

[RafaelABF]

Congratulations man. I logged in just to thumbs up and coment =D

Your video deserves it.

[MyEggIsBoiled]

I just figured out what this song is about. It's about being forced into believing what you don't want to, against your will, if you will. Like Christianity. The child's throne was broken, destroyed. But in the wake of that disaster, the attacker praised the Lord. I'm a genius.

[easterhase]

i have heard a lot of versions of this wonderful song.

but yours is by far the best one ever.

i´m so astonished about your talent.

just best of.

[dextuber]

Dude...well done! You've inspired me to really learn this song!

[lanamusik]

Great Voice!! Wonderful!

[nightboy1982]

Singt echt super

[SandyRubin]

Sweetness to my ears!

[gameangie]

really lovely version. Nice smooth electric guitar, too. You've got great musical "timing" and a wonderfully lyrical voice with lots of character.  You should send this in and tryout for America's Got Talent. I think you could make a lot of money in the modern Country field.

Thanks for posting.

[starvinfolkartist]

sir, i did make a comment on this version 1 year ago when my son was born. All and all again, your voice touches my heart, i wish i could share your skill singing so sensitive and melodramatic.

This is the only time when i really appreciate to cry. Thanks Johnny

We do Zepplin, Hendrix, and Hallelujah - Cohen, Buckley also.

[Ironboy989889]

Pretty good voice, although i prefer the other version, but im pretty sure they used computer to change minor issues, so you get 5/5 from me.

[paranorman2]

"maybe there's a god above ..."

King David was a man after the very heart of God. Love required Jesus' sacrifice for our atonement. Thank You, Jesus, for Your Love. Hallelujah!

[Lycurgoquerido]

Good job!

[yucali]

Hey, where were you when they were trying to pick best cover??!! This would have ruled out any popidol trash :]

[thefogster61]

great version of a great song. And man, I wish I'd thought of that name first. Johnnyonline... you should write a song in which your youtube name is the hook. I'm serious.

[sycolables]

hi john again see this is so much better you cant sing wham wake me up slow but you have a great voice do you just sing for a hobby?

[paranorman2]

Young man, you are very talented and you did this very very well. I couldn't find one flaw and you sang it with feeling. I wonder what it would sound like if you slowed it down just a little more. Whatdaya think?

[SgtGrendel]

Real Nice...a lot of feeling! Thanks

[y2aat]

[simnea]

wonderfull!

[dishywinnie]

How on earth have you not been signed?

[JordanisOtaku]

People like you deserve record contracts.

[greebsrule]

Wow, that was amazing

[Sarah24862]

You do an incredible cover or this song. Really. I never cry over songs and I don't wanna sound all sappy and crap, but the way you cover this really brings me close to tears, it sounds so sad and authentic, like you sing it like you really, REALLY mean the words.

You deserve the chart #1 instead of Alexandra Burke. D:

[johnnyonline]

i don't know who Alexandra Burke is, but thank you so much for the lovely comments :)

[spunkmonks]

you really dont need to know. shes another winner of a 'talent' show in Britain who come out and ruin classic songs.

she is, as the previous 50 winners have been, aweful.

you however, aren't. great voice.

if you do feel obliged to find out what monstrocities these aweful 'X-Factor' winners have to offer, check out a song by Snow Patrol called 'Run'. great song. and then have a look at what the last winner of the same show 'Leona Lewis' has to offer as some attempt at a cover :S ruined.

[ieatchickennoodles]

Alexadra burke won x factor in the uk

She did a version of this song which everyone went crazy over

[keeton]

and ive never heard a song slaughted more. i nearly wept and not for the same reason as the cohen or buckly version. u must agree tho, this version is pretty darn good :)

[HeartAttackMan74]

lol all i can think of when i hear this song is shrek. good job though.

[DenmarkDicker]

Amazing.... Thanks for sharing!

[jbmsouza]

Man, you singing rewind me of John Lennon |o/ Fantastic video, I loved it

[petitfleur86]

wow that was so good it gave me chills!

and thanks for subscribing too! :)

[Furuly]

damn! Good job! Nice vocals! Clean playing too!

[cmbugden]

Best Version I have come acrossed, Good Job!!!

[GutPyle]

Fantastic job in every respect. You really nailed it from every direction.

Side note: To anyone who thinks Squier guitars "sound" different because they cost less, you're misinformed. I've got a dozen of them, all used for recording, live and studio work.

It's the player's touch and the amp that reproduces it more than anything else.

So get off the logo worship wagon and quit spending your hard earned money on decals and HSC's! Take a lesson or two.

Sorry. Didn't mean to rant...much.

[mwright165]

i full agree with you but i never played a squire and all i heard was bad thing but i played one recently and loved it! im not on the logo worship wagon either i play danelectro guitars and epiphones. i had the chance to get gibsons but my epiphones were just as good! im also a trained guitarist and drummer!

[mwright165]

i love this i cant believe you can get that sound from a squire what pickups are they?

[ramavai]

i don't think it's a squire - it's a fender isn't it???

[johnnyonline]

it's an early japanese squire, still says fender as the main logo on the headstock, but also says squire in the smaller writing in the round bit.

[ramavai]

you live and learn... :-)

[mwright165]

sorry man i should have made myself more clear i got into an agruement over this before! as the guy said squire hard to believe i couldnt believe it at first either

[guitarmeco]

It is a squire, just an early jap version.

[calsonicSTi]

Give me a Leonard Cohen after world, so I can sigh eternally.

[Afteralltim]

Very Beautiful...you voice is quite stunning

[underoath22]

this is really really good man.. keep it up..

[HelenaMCRomance]

impressive...Im going to check out some more of your vids. :)

[hosseher]

Lovely song, lovely covered. Bravo!

[teresablankenbeker]

Very nice, very moving. You definitely this haunting song a true justice.

[molinee]

I have listened to hundreds sing this song from amateur to pro and you are the best. Hope good things happen to you.

[Trealawking]

crap

[mahon1st]

i love it!

[bleedingbride]

[dontnudge]

oh johnny, i adore you!

[superkachou]

Great cover !!

I love this song !!

your voice is wonderfull :)

sO continue !!

look my covers if you want ;)

[whytlight]

Nice. Great voice too.

[girrTube]

GREAT!

[LORDxMUSE]

Your voice is very clear and fantastic.

5 Stars but I think your version could be better -my opinion- if you "belt" at some parts.

Especially at the end when you stop picking and begin to strike the strings

greetz

[qu33n0fh3arts08]

this is SO beatiful!!! your voice is amazing. i didnt htink i could love this song anymore than i already did...wowzers

[andolin]

I find this similar to far too many amateur recordings in respect to its many pitfalls and shortcomings.

To be brief, with such famous pieces, each listener will have a pre-conceived notion of how it is to be played. Therefore, it's entirely possible for a very well-performed rendition to be entirely unpleasant to certain listeners.

But then there is this amateur, trite filth- it disappoints even hope for an "alternate point of view" to musical interpretation of such a piece.

How disappointing.

@andolin... really? REALLY? Surely we aren't listening to the same thing, because unless you're just an unhappy person, there is no way you could possibly feel that way. It's a cover. I don't see why a cover has to be something completely different from the original. Most people shoot for copying the original and f
