HALLELUJAH BEST SONG EVER IN HISTORY OF SONGINESS

[Red Poppy]

The line was most likely: Halleluijah, halleluijah

[Sherry]

Good one! But I'm afraid not.

Adrian, I see a pattern here, the Australian winner of Idol also sang Hallelujah.

Let's get the word out, all you have to do to win an Idol is sing hallelujah.

[Adrian]

Aye, there's truth to that!

As I hear a lot about the song from artist and audience, it's apparent that the power and beauty of Hallelujah is such that it elevates many a singer.

And, just as often, one hears commentators rave about the performance - when, it can be the song that is providing most of the inspiration.

Truly, 't'is a timeless masterpiece of popular song.

(As for Mod, I thought we were talking of the Gaelic!)

[loulou]

yeah i heard about this poll - i and also agree that it is definetely one of his very best and yes, possibly his master piece

i also think that i heard leonard say himself in an interview that he thought that hallelujah was one of his 2 best songs, the other one being 'if it be your will' (if i remember rightly)

Argh, I'm so sick of Hallelujah - it's everywhere, and every snot nosed punk that reckons he or she can sing a lick to save their ass is covering it and it's really sending me round the bend.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArrrgghh

Would anyone know where I could get the Antony and the Johnsons version? I've been searching for hours with no success. Thanks.

I don't know who you are, KjXXXer, or where you live, but if you were sick of Hallelujah cover versions over a year ago, and if you live in the UK, I guess now you must have taken to your bed entirely, in a terrible state.

I do hope you'll be feeling better soon - maybe in the New Year normal service will be resumed and everyone will go back to covering Abba and Robbie Williams angel songs.

All best,
Habie
