I am no singer or musician, I try but I know I am far from calling myself that but boy do I think the new version of Hallelujah sucks piles of dog poo. Why? Well let me tell you. I first heard the song in Shrek ( John Cale cover version) and loved it. So simple and yet so powerful. You are left to put your own emotion in the song. So along comes 'Cry me a river' and covers it as the X-factor winners single and totally ruins the song. See some things have more power when they are not forced. I hate the fact that she feels the need to 'Show off' her voice by hitting every vocal octave she can, including those only audible to dogs, dolphin's and fax machines. Leon Lewis is another one ruining a great song Snow patrols run. Another classic simple yet emotive song that doesn't try to hard. Some songs really don't need the theatrics and leave the listener to draw on their own experience to add volume to the song.
By the way JLS version was much better. Simple to the point and even left me with goose bumps.
In other news turns out Royal mail have sent letter back solicitors. Great thanks for the great re-direct service.
