So did anyone see this? I couldn't help but get caught up in it about half way through. I absolutely adore the winning song, one of my all time favourites and I think the winner did a nice job of it. Heard worse.
If you haven't heard, the song is Hallelujah, originally written by Leonard Cohen. Apparently he had a nightmare writing the song and has 15 verses for it. My favourite lyric is
"Well, maybe there's a god above,
but all I've ever learned from love,
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you."
I prefer versions of this song that are more "pure" in sound, a simple piano backing and a nice voice that doesn't warble too much; sticking to its near-religious type roots. Mmmm, small pleasures I guess.
Catch you later,
J xx
