After reading that another version of "Hallelujah", originally written by Leonard Cohen has topped the charts ahead of the Jeff Buckley version, I had to take a listen.
I conclude that some people do not care what they listen to. Admittedly, the Alexandra Burke version is not that bad. However, she used too much power in her voice. Using that power turned what was supposed to be a soft, personal song, into a blasting power ballad. It totally ruined the very nature of the song, along with the emotion that the original was trying to express.
Go listen to the Jeff Buckley version and be wowed.
