Even after great iconic covers by Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright I still always come back to Lee's performance of Hallelujah. It beats every other version.
@wrestlerx1, stupid ass, charlie sheen said that in the second ou third season of two and a half man, that would be 6, 7 years ago, your comment was post 6 MONTHS ago. Dont call me stupid when YOU are stupid. DUMBFUCK
I think, personally, that this is the worst interpretation of Hallelujah i have ever heard. It lacked emotion, and basically he didn't get, what's the song is about.
@GameReveiwGuy Beats me, your comment does not make any sense at all, but people are merely bandwagoners. Did you misspell review on purpose?
Schmaltzy "popped" up version that drains the soul completely out of the song....exactly what I'd expect on American Idol. Time to refill my now-depleted soul by listening to a live Cohen version...toodles!
@turcothedestroyer1 haha i hope you're kidding... jeff buckley only did a remake of the song. leonard cohen was the original. educate yourself please.
I loved that despite the fact that he is extremely gifted and talented, he maintained his humility. I love people whose talents appear to be so divinely inspired that they just seem to genuinely desire to share their gifts with the rest of the world.
@Mattgoot , he was great on AI, but honestly Lee Dewyze couldn't produce any hits that connect with mainstream! Scotty will definitely be a bigger hit than Lee Dewyze and Kris Allen!
@sonofmabarker DONT BE TOO HARSH ON SCOTTY, UR CRITICIZING HIM TO BE A WINNER WHEN N FACT ITS ONLY FINAL 2. PAL, DONT PUT THE BLAME ON SCOTTY JUST BCOZ UR BET WAS AXED BY AMERICAN VOTERS, ITS NOT SCOTTY'S FAULT.
SCOTTY FOR MY OWN OPINION WILL BE 1 OF D BEST WINNER BCOZ OF HIS UNIQUE VOICE & CHARISMATIC PERFORMANCE EVERYTIME HE PERFORMS, THATS IF HE WINS THIS 2011 AI.
VOTE FOR SCOTTY BCOZ HE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF TALENTED TEENAGER THAT S RARE NOWADAYS. + HE HAS VERY UNIQUE APPEAL IN HIS VOICE.
@2000naturescolor Your kidding yourself if you think Scotty has a unique voice. Country music already has one and his name is Josh Turner. I like him as a kid and his pleasant personality. But, as a future recording star I just don't see it.
@mobones87 Um, I really don't care what her teeth looked like. Shes not going to be suck my dick. She had more singing talent in her small finger than lee whatever his name was could ever possibly have. The only reason people like her don't win is because the majority of voters are a lot of teeny bopper little girls that only vote for the "cute guys". You are obviously deaf or don't know what talent in music is if you think lee could sing better than her...
Seriously, people. Please stop comparing everyone to everyone else? I mean really? Obviously a "cover" is in it's own way a tribute to the original songwriter. Obviously everyone is going to be different than the next. Everyone has different opinions, different tastes. So please, stop competing.
uuuuuuuuummmmm im not feelin' it :/... He's not a bad singer im not saying that...I'm just saying that this WAS a very average performance. I mean I watch this guy sing this, then i go watch "Il Divo" sing this and the entire performance is revealed as 'average.' I'm not hating on him, like I mentioned before, I'm simply saying that he will not be a hit for the rest of his life. (Note: no flames plz it's a pain in the ass just accept that I have an opinion too)
I never said he was bad. I stated that for a singer he's average. An average singer...not the average person. John Mayer is an average singer. If Lee can win American Idol, I think I'd like my chances as a singer.
Of course I can. Until you hear me you cannot make such assumptions. If he can win American Idol I think I have a good shot. Most men with weaker voices ( etc. Kris Allen) rely on their instruments and musical know how to create original renditions. This is exactly how Adam Lambert lost American Idol, despite being a better vocalist. Everyone has their own voice, but everyone has another who has more capabilities than themselves. How many AI shows are there in the world?
@theravenflow ok i know i havent heard you but Lee is the best winner he like can go from nice calm to bursting with heart in like 30 secs he is a great singer i dont know anyone who is better than him
I love, love Lee doing this song....he did a amazing job. & this is a guy song, written by a man & first sung by a man....Simon did good! Anyone who didn't like this, wouldn't like much of anything.
@betover68 I'm sorry? "Hallelujah" was written by Leonard Cohen in the 80's. Lots of singers - males and females too - have made covers to this one, but you can't say it's a "girl song" since it's written and first sung by a man.
where was the feeling in this song and where was the strong vocals this song doesnt suit his voice. this song deserves a heartfelt voice which u can feel the singer has a connection but then again yanks like crappy singers. Stan walker shoots this song off the planet. this song deserves soul and this guy is absolute shit singer.
