Reviews for Hallelujah Lyrics

This is what the meaning of the phrases 'powerful singer' and 'powerful song' is. Not the horrendously loud and projecting voice of Alex (even though she's not too bad), but Jeff's (RIP) version is definitely the best, because he sings this song with feeling. It evokes heartbreaking emotions... I love this song... *sniffs*

This song is absoulutly amazing. I mean im only 11 and i think its the best ever. I was gutted to hear that alexandra was going to sing it because i think Jeff bukleys version is wonderful! All my love to lyrane lawrence. This song is my all time favourite and now i know how much it means to some ppl it always will be!

we played this version at my 19 year old daughters funeral who died 12th Dec 2008, she loved it and was horrified that the x factor winner was going to sing it.The song gives me peace. Vicki was a beautiful girl inside and out and hope Jeff will sing his songs personally for her a broken hearted muux

this is one of my all time favourite songs so i was very excited that it was gonna be on the x factor!!!! i never thought a song could lose its beauty jus by a diff artist! jeff buckley should be the only person to sing this song his version has all the soul emotion and feeling that this song needs to make it so magical! even tough its not his song he made it what it is today!

quote: "This song is simply amazing, words cannot describe the emotion the melody evokes. Jeff Buckleys version is the best version anyone has ever heard, his simplistic approach to it, made the song outstanding. No one can ever top this version."

i totally agree! xxx

I Loved this song, cos none of my friends new the words, and i felt special as it is such a moving song, so when it was on the x factor, i was sad to find that all my friends new the words, and no longer feel its mine. I Love the rufus wainwright version the best though.

i really wish the x factor wasn't allowed to kill this song.
bad enough that its been in shrek and the OC... but now it's gonna get all the chavs listening to alex's version, playing it loud on their phones while they walk down the street.
argh.

Just listened to the real version and it moved me so much. Just listening to the heart and soul of the singer was so moving. Let the music loving world unite and beat the x factor nobody to number 1.

This song is simply amazing, words cannot describe the emotion the melody evokes. Jeff Buckleys version is the best version anyone has ever heard, his simplistic approach to it, made the song outstanding. No one can ever top this version.

This is such a moving song, but it loses something every time it is played on something like the O.C. or Shrek. The thought of this becoming one of those ubiquitous songs that everyone knows makes me a little sad. I guess we just can't leave well enough alone.

I can't tell you how many times I cried during the O.C. when I heard this song. Its so powerful and meaningful. I feel like Hallelujah is one of the most amazing songs of all time.

R.I.P. Jeff Buckley<3

I honestly never knew who Jeff Buckley was until I watched the latest "Unplugged" episode as Jon Bonjovi performed it. Bonjovi actually spoke about the "late, great, Jeff Buckley" prior to the set and let me tell you, I was extremely intrigued. So much, that I did a little research and pulled up Jeff Buckley's performance on "YouTube." It's a shame to think the world has lost such an amazing talent......

Womens Choir (an auditioned choir) at my school is singing this in 4 part harmony, it's an interesting arrangement. I'm an Alto 2, so we normally start the verses. Then the Alto 1s take over. The Sopranos are always like background in this song. It's nice to see the Altos take the melody for a change.

Leonard Cohen may have composed the lyrics of this song, but his performance could never and will never exceed the quality which Jeff's version has. It's sad that his talent went to his grave with him. We will never know what his talent held in store for the future.

i never realy listened to the lyrics unit resently and the first thing that poped into my head was this song is realy nast but then i read some the reviews and i think i get it but im still alittle lost so its like there so in love they become one by makeing love then she leaves him thats why hes sad i dont understand. the sex part is just because when your realy in love its apart of the pacage or what but it is a beautifull song i dont like the buckly song at all the one thats the best out of all of them is the one sang by rufus wainright the piano part is so coolso if you could fill me in. IN PEOPLE TERMS NOT THAT SMART
