  • i love this song!

  • When I hear Scoodle Bumpkin and Fred Bungaheeto sing this song it almost makes me believe in dog

  • Love Rufus, Love this version.

  • never heard this song before but i like it!

  • That X-Factor girl has essentially killed this song.=(

    Buckly's and Wainwright's versions are both beautiful though =D

  • One of the great songs!

  • please dont bad mouth a dead man that cant defend himself. and Rufus has NO clue!

  • Jeff Buckley´s is a lot better. Rufus voice doesn't fit in with the song.

  • was it him who sang it in scrubs it was upsetting when the 3 people died and this song was playing beautiful song

  • My favourite version.... Leaves me lost for words.... a masterpiece.... x

  • What can you say........so much talent.TYVM.

  • This is my karaoke song.

  • jeff buckley's sucks and jason castro didn't do bad on this song

  • Rufus Wainright's and Jeff Buckley's versions are both equally amazing in different ways. Jason Castro is not in their league.

  • very amazin

  • Jason Castro's version is better!!! this guy is on ludes!

  • like it or not, rufus puts everything he has into this song

  • very true

  • jeff buckley's version is way better

  • Best version ever, period.

  • maybe sounds drunk? he just seems to slur. plus his tone seems a little scratchy or something. I guess that fits the song though- "a cold and broken Hallelujah."

  • this is the best version of this song. I like this version better than Jeff Buckley

  • BA DA BA BA BA!! IM LOVING IT!!! I REALLY MeAN IT!!!

  • I can sing a better version than this. Jeff Buckley's is FAR better.

  • He owns the song..period.

  • I disagree with the people who hate Wainwright's version. I love it. He's one of my favorite dude vocalists (secretly wishing he were not gay). Art shouldn't be a contest.

  • wow incredible  but then Rufus is incredible as always

  • yuck!!!

  • far,far away from Jeff..Jeff is the one and only!

  • hey if anyone has the piano sheet music for this song can you tell me?!?!?

  • Jeff Buckley did an awesome cover, but Leonard Cohen wrote it. Actually, he wrote many verses in addition to those in the Rufus Wainwright version and most other covers.

  • A wonderful song !

  • leonard cohen didnt write hallalujah its in the songbooks at church with out words -its been around forever and everyone has a version this one is me and terrys .

  • actually, hallelujah was written by leonard cohen, its not the same church song you see in the books. he actually had a notebook filled with different verses of the song, he was obsessed with it.

  • haha, right...I suppose the chorus -hallelujah- has been around forever but I'm pretty sure leonard cohen wrote the verses as I don't recall anything in the hymnals about tying people to chairs...but I'm not unitarian either so...

  • Leonard Cohen wrote it check him out on youtube NOW.

  • RIP JB.

  • i love rufus and this song, poifect match

  • just 1 word woow dhis song is in shrek to my mom like it to

  • ....what?

  • this song is bloody amazing! the voice is perfect for the piano. harmonic perfection.

  • It's beautiful song! I love it... :)

  • did Marc Cohn ever cover this? if not, he should!

  • The piano in this song sounds beautiful!! Someone who could send me the notes?

  • Such a beautiful song!

  • checkout my stuff if you like rufus

  • how to murder a classic in one easy step, by r wainwright. check out the jeff buckley or kd lang versions tosee how to really cover a song

  • Thanks to you for turning me on to these other versions, man they are good. Rufus is good also, but you are correct in your assessment of these three. Thanks, Georgeann

  • is this Americas contribution 2 modern music?

  • He sounds like a pig :P. Hail Jeff Buckley!

  • Haha its true! Jeff Buckely and Myles Kennedy both do better version.

  • the original version of this song is so great! but this love version does not do it justice. it's a good song though. It feels to mumbly.

  • I really want to hear a blackman (bass) to sing this with a pack full of energy, and a ton of people with the chorus energtically, this is why i prefer Rufus singing it, because he proves about half that power im talking about (all the others only provike a 1/4)

  • Such a beautiful song! Also like the way Jon Bon Jovi sings it.

  • hes murmuring/ singing through his nose, makesit sound  bad

  • nope fantastic version, sorry!

  • wow, love this song, got goosebumps!

  • yay another gay hottie making it to the top! he is sooo hot!

  • This song gives me shivers every time. Beautiful.

  • Awesome!! Didn;t know he sang this until he was interviewed last night on Johnathan Ross. He is awesome!

  • he is awesome i love the way he stresses the hallelujah in that unique way :'(

    is a very penseive song <3

  • LOVE LOVE THIS SONG- THANX 4 posting!!:0 specialK

  • This song is simply a great. Creating overwhelming nostalgia, whoever sings it, and the piano harmony is fabulous.

  • i luv this song. it makes me cry but i still love it. i would like to hear a lady singing it. just to see how it works....

  • Rufus Wainwright-no, his voice does NOT sound bored. Especially live. He just played the Ann Arbor Folk Festival, and Lady, was his voice great. It's all furry, with edges. If that makes sense. The only critique I really have is that occasionally his piano drowns him out.

  • Stop saying his voice sounds bored =) ! That's all I enjoy about him singing this song.. Such a wonderful song.. and such a wonderful voice.

  • I love this song! Awesome!!

  • i really-really love it.

  • nar rufus did hallelujah best

  • this song makes me cry. i like this version better than the leonard cohen one :/ i dunno..it mite b cos iv heard this one more..oh well both are amazing

  • amazing Rufus!

    Thank u for sharing. MIK

  • jeff buckley did it better =)

  • Rufus wainwright owns he sthe best of all the singer/music player

  • well it's a cool song but don't you guys think his voice sounds a bit bored ?

  • NO ONE is better than Rufus Wainwright

  • that's an amazing song
