Alexandra Burke ruined Hallelujah :(

[N-Dubz]

I do prefer Jeff's one which was #2 in the charts. Yeah it is pretty annoying that the X factor people get number #1 every year now, I thought Leona definetly deserved the number 1 spot this christmas.

& I suppose Alexandra singing it is better, though I'd have preffered JLS myself.

There are over 50 different versions of the song, and the song is effectively a soundtrack song. I could not imagine Ryan in The OC running away to Alexandra's version, I could not imagine it in Shrek or someone dieing to it in House or Scrubs. Her version is one of the worst versions and the only way it'll ever be used in TV or Movies is if Simon pulls strings. Rufus's version is the best!

Yes I meant concur

[Flurl]

omg i love her singing it ;[

[RedStratocas]

hallelujah is probably one of the most, if not the most, covered song of all time. i'd hardly say it's "ruined." though anyone who covers it nowadays is just completely unoriginal and probably lacks talent.

She's crap and she has ruined a perfectly good song

[Captain]

I actually like it.

[Wig44.]

It's not automatic by any means. The only reason an artist reaches number one is because people are buying that artist's single. Evidently, there are many people who like this version of Hallelujah.

TopManTim: Did you mean "I concur"? To conquer and to concur are two very different things.

Congratulations smartass.

Me too. It's boring.

I can't get enough of Leona Lewis - Run, though.

[Boxiel]

I love the new version, it's good that someone like her has brought it back to life.
