my grandson who is quite shy sang this for me because i told him i like it so much and i was most surprised because he sang it so beautifully... it brought tears to my eyes just like when i first heard alexandra burke sing it.... beautiful words
This is a great high-dollar production of a great song.
But for a far simpler, and in my opinion, a version that better captures the true emotion and spirit of this great song, check out: YouTube "Hallelujah Allison Williams"
The beauty of this song reflects from singer to singer. Its sung based on their emotions, ability and comfort level. Ive heard ever version, Love em all. She has heaps of passion in this song as well as emotion, shes sings it the way it effects her. God bless her for the talent and sharing it . Love this version.
i personally like this version out of any i've heard... she seems to have a connection with the song, as well as being very proficient technically... gets chills every time! :)
@medidie64 I don't understand people who say they hate but they watch it through.There is nothing wrong with a soulful version of a rock song. Rock singers have sung rock versions of soul songs for ages.
some of y'all are not having opinions, you are straight up hating
I dislike this because it doesn't seem like the feeling behind the words actually register in her mind when she sings. She doesn't show a real connection to the song, it's like shes reading from cue cards. Listen to other versions of this great song before up-voting this one. Jeff Buckley did a moving version as did the writer and originator Mr. Leonard Cohen.
this song now has a big meaning in my life this was the very last song i sang to my mum befro she died R.I.P mum i love youu sleep tight sweet angel!!! xxxxx
The original singer/writer was Leonard Cohen and his version wasn't so great. Jeff Buckley gets top credit for reinventing it. Various others have notable versions. I agree that Alexandra's soaring gospel style doesn't quite fit the words and original intent. But the melody is so beautiful and I think she truly sings it from the heart and thus carries the song beyond the words and folksy roots into something transcendent.
are yall stupid! do some of yall need help! she sang this song with such power and EMOTION that i feel moved when i listen to it! her voice is beatiful and she sings it brilliantly! I dont know what yall are talking about when you say she looks in the camera and sings with no emotion! I'd like to see you post a video and do it with MORE feeling, and compassion than her voice! she sung beautifully! If you can top that then sure feel free to say whatever the hell you please! but the majority cant
@danieldrums9 From my experience most Africans can sing gospel songs much better than any other ethnic groups. You cant deny Talent when it's evident so stop being a racist cunt because your voice cant compete.
Christmas (Mass of Christ) was created by the sexually perverted Roman Catholic church. The Catholic church was created by Lucifer (Satan).
Why do most non-Catholics, and many Christians, celebrate this wildly wicked weird witchcraft holiday from the weathered old Roman religion of rapists? It's beautiful side of evil?...Well, evil, is still evil, no matter how it is served to you.
this song only shows that she is a really really good singer but if you want to listen the meaning of this song then go for jeff buckley.....she can definitely sing better than jeff buckley but he totally gets into the song and doesn't care about his singing....

i have to sing this song either tomorrow or on thursday and i couldn't find a version that fit who i am, and who i represent. i found this like a minute and you are AMAZING. its your opinion if she is good or not but in mine, she is perfect.
I don't recall how I discovered this song a while back. I've taken the recommendation of other posters and checked out some of the other versions, but I like this one the best. I like her voice, the arrangement, and orchestration. Never could get into K.D. Lang.
Where are the video clips from? Seems like she was on some sort of talent show. She's quite lovely, as is the girl in the video who's shown crying a few times.
what a voice!!! even if she's singing this song as if she was Beyonce (it' s not that I don't like Beyonce, but... everyone can guess what I mean..^^), I like this voice which shows her whole heart. She likes this song and it is the best thing in this video I guess.
@koreliana Yes, now if she can just sing it the way it was written all would be well. Thank God I don't have to listen to her "interpret" The National Anthem. On the bright side she does have a good voice. She just feels she has to use her complete range in every song.
@rbradaigh totally agree but don't be so hard towards her. How do you want her to sing this song while there are so big music-monsters who have sung this song before her (just look at Jeff BUCKLEY or David COHEN)? If she wants to make her own place she has to be a little (too) eccentric!!
But I have to say I prefer the original song from the old singers^^!!!!
Everybody always mentions that Jeff Buckleys version is the best. Well I guess there is no arguing over taste as this one is a 1000 times better than buckleys boring version
@schoorl200 Are you high? This version is WAY over-produced and sounds like Whitney Houston over a gospel version of the "Where Are You Christmas" backing track. This is obviously a matter of opinion, but this is honestly one of the WORST versions of the song I've heard. She even changes the key. I'm not denying her talent, but this is just a horrible version. "Hallelujah" is a sincere song and should be sung in a sincere way. She might as well have done a metal version of "Hallelujah".
@BigTymerPimp As I said: there is no argument about taste. I do not need to be high to like one song better than another. There is no recipe on how Hallelujah 'should be sung'
@schoorl200 Actually, there is a recipe on how it should be sung. It's called "the way it was written". I'm not being a dick, but is the national anthem the same song if you play it in B flat? No. Sure, you have the same building blocks, such as intervals, but it's not the same song. Even if you have good intentions.
Just from the looks of this video this is like some big commercial for this girl. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Asking if you were high was a bit of an exaggeration.
@BigTymerPimp Well, in that case Jeff Buckley should not qualify at all, coz thenThe ultimo boring version of Lennard Cohen is the way it was sung.
One can play the National Anthem in any key it might be better abd it might be worse and one can argue wheter it is still the national Anthem, but it might be a better version. I kinda prefer Jhonny Cash' version of "hurt". Sounds completely different from the way Nine inch nails made it, but even they prefer Cash'version
Leonard Cohen sung it the way he wrote it, but his voice didn't have the appeal for it. It's like Robert Plant doing opera. No disrespect towards him.
We can argue about this all day, but we both agree. It's a matter of opinions. I see this as a commercial for this lady. Trying to showcase her vocals by singing like Whitney Houston with a gospel sounding back track. That's "boring" for me.
You think it's better than the "boring" versions. I'll leave it at that.
indeed, we can discuss it till eternity, but as said, there is no discussing taste. I respect your preference, but mine is different. Fortunately we still live in a world where that is possible ;-)
@BigTymerPimp If you want to hear someone sing this with emotion ( which is missing here) as well with amazing voice, look for kd lang. kd has one of the best female voices around and she also sang it with soul and meaning
@BigTymerPimp You could not be more wrong. A gospel arrangement for this song is entirely appropriate with its Biblical references and the word Hallelujah sung over and over. So much drama about who did the best version. Jeff Buckley's singer/songwriter. k.d. lang's chanteuse. Alexandra Burke's gospel. Each was appropriate for the performer. In my opinion all three versions are transcendent. I do have a favorite, but that's beside the point. Kudos to Cohen for a beautiful, versatile song.
@thecluephone I never claimed that the gospel sound in this was inappropriate. It's just that it's too predictable. Someone says "Hallelujah" and all the sudden it has to have a gospel spin on it with over the top vocals. I thought the key change and the over-produced sound is inappropriate for a song like this, though. I feel it is a sincere song and I think it sounds better without so much instrumentation. It's like adding drums to Moonlight Sonata. Plus, this video is totally a commercial.
@thecluephone How am I wrong for expressing my opinion? Some people actually agree with me from the looks of it. I personally enjoy most versions of "Hallelujah". This one just sounds like her record producers put it in front of her and said, "Do some nice vocals like Whitney Houston. We'll take care of the rest while you stand there and look pretty."
This version doesn't sit well with me. And, that is my opinion. I cannot stress that enough.
@BigTymerPimp No, this is not close to being a horrible version. I thought it was amazing. She did it in her way and she sings very good. Saying it's horrible is not true at all.
Hallelujah is actually a passionate song that should be sung with passion so I would have to say, she nailed it. There is so much feeling in this version that it truly speaks to peoples' hearts.
@BigTymerPimp Totally agree with you here...it started out ok with just soft music playing but once it ended it ended horribly. I kinda get what they were trying to do with it but it didn't work
lol at these people saying its horrible. she cant sing blah blah blah... well people clearly disagree i mean it's sold over 1.2 million, just saying!! i think its a beautiful and an emotional version. actually my fave version! <3
@joemoin While she has a gorgeous voice I understand what you are saying. She could be singing about anything but she isn't singing what the song is about.
It's too bad that youtube only has thumbs up and thumbs down buttons for comments, they really need a middle finger button. I just want to take this opportunity to say to all you haters who commented that Alexandra is bad-
,,l,, Fuck You ,,l,, I understand if someone prefers a different version but to say that she's bad is inexcusable.
@Flamehopper Funny to see you guys directing traffic. You comment isn't the first I saw posted 16 hours ago & got me to watch it, well, part of it. Good effort, but whiny sounding to me. If you want to see other great versions, check Allison Crowe's and the one by Lind, Nilson, Holm and Fuentes tha's labeled Hallelujah (shrek song). Realize those guys are singing a second language to them too! But you and Casey et al should keep playing. It isn't bad, just not "fantastic".
Blatantly obvious that she doesn't care about what she's singing about. Awful. She just wants something she can go "WAOAAAHHHOOOHHHHWOAH~" on. Another musician who uses horrible runs like that to hide the fact she can't stay on the note. Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen all the way. :D <3
Official Single??ughh this song was sung by jeff buckley THE BEST!!all the others 'shame' themselves for singing a song that was sung by such a talented artist
@greenXfaerie omg nooo i'm not judging goodnes no! i adoore alexandra she's an angel it's just that jeff buckley is the one and only for this song.he was born to sing it 'officilly', and all the others aren't official, no matter what ppl think, thy're just covers.but i don't mean to hurt her or anything God NO i love her <3
@greenXfaerie it's not about the version..i like jeff's version better cuz it's HIS song..u know what i mean ;)?buut hehe it's just an opinion and ur aloowed to have one just like me :D

@xReesx17 how can this be better than jeff buckleys version i dont get a vibe of her song its almost emotionless

@joemoin While she has a gorgeous voice I understand what you are saying. She could be singing about anything but she isn't singing what the song is about.

It's too bad that youtube only has thumbs up and thumbs down buttons for comments, they really need a middle finger button. I just want to take this opportunity to say to all you haters who commented that Alexandra is bad-
,,l,, Fuck You ,,l,, I understand if someone prefers a different version but to say that she's bad is inexcusable.

@Flamehopper Funny to see you guys directing traffic. You comment isn't the first I saw posted 16 hours ago & got me to watch it, well, part of it. Good effort, but whiny sounding to me. If you want to see other great versions, check Allison Crowe's and the one by Lind, Nilson, Holm and Fuentes tha's labeled Hallelujah (shrek song). Realize those guys are singing a second language to them too! But you and Casey et al should keep playing. It isn't bad, just not "fantastic".

Blatantly obvious that she doesn't care about what she's singing about. Awful. She just wants something she can go "WAOAAAHHHOOOHHHHWOAH~" on. Another musician who uses horrible runs like that to hide the fact she can't stay on the note. Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen all the way. :D <3
