Quite like the Buckley one. Just heard the Burke one on the radio - might grow on me. But I hope that Lewis gets the Christmas No 1

 

[Steve Austin]

I don't get Leonard Cohen at all. His music is awful, and i've got more charismatic shoes. So its Buckley for me. Very emotional

 

[Landslide]

"But you don't really care for music, do you?"

I've never heard that line ring quite so true as when I heard it on the eXcrement Factor.

 

[fossyant]

The Shrek one......

 

[derall]

None of the above

Try the John Cale version, much better than Cohen or Buckley

Although better when he loses the strings used in this version and sticks to the piano. Great voice though.

 

[Chuffy]

I'm not a cover version purist (hoots derisively at Pink Floyd fans who hated the Scissor Sisters cover of Comfortably Numb) but whoever decided to get lab-bred vermin from some poxy talent show to cover that song deserves to spend an eternity in hell having their genitals stimulated by Jeremy Beadle's withered hand.

 

[Landslide]

...deserves to spend an eternity in hell having their genitals stimulated sandpapered prior to being doused in vinegar by Jeremy Beadle's withered hand.

[Chuffy]

!

Stimulated with sandpaper, vinegar and possibly a Brillo pad tipped cotton bud.

 

[Chuffy]

SLAP! Wake up Chuffy!! What's your favourite cover of Halllelujah?

Eh? Whu..? I've got a certificate mother!

Oh.

Um, not sure really. Just not one over performed by a mewling wretch spawned from Simon Cowell's Satan's loins.

 

[dellzeqq]

I'd go for John Cale as well. And he's better looking

 

[Kestevan]

Nooooooooo

It's got to be the maestro.

You've got to be old, Jewish and sound like you've been gargling with broken glass, drinking meths and smoking woodbines for the last 30 years to sing that song.

 

[gratts]

For those who voted Jeff Buckley, or hate X-factor..do your bit!
59p to download his amazing song, and put him number one on Christmas day and shove one to xfactor!
I'll be buying it a couple of times

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Haven't heard the X-factor one. Buckley's is overrated as a cover IMHO. The first time I heard it I couldn't believe he seemed to have missed all the irony in the song. Sure, he's got an inoffensive voice, but it's just melodrama. Cohen is the man.
