2.0 out of 5 stars "You don,t really care for music do you?", 15 Dec 2008
By russell clarke "stipesdoppleganger" (halifax, west yorks) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
There can be no doubt that the correct person won the annual sob....sorry song fest that is the X Factor. She is a very talented girl , though it is also sadly the case that the Cowell treadmill will turn her into another Mariah/ Whitney/ Leona clone which we could well do without.
However the news that the X Factor Christmas number 1 was to be a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah was about as welcome as Russell Brand at Andrew Sachs Xmas party .The song originally written and recorded by Leonard Cohen for his 1984 album Various Positions ( a torturous process by all accounts) has been covered by numerous artists( there are around 170 versions) including versions by Rufus Wainright ,Allison Crowe and most famously Jeff Buckley from hisGrace (New Version) album. This is the one that most people seem to have identified with and there is no doubt that Buckley did a great shivery version . The one that nails it for me is John Cales version which he recorded ( with new lyrics as Cohen wrote 15 verses for the song) for the 1991 Cohen tribute album I'm Your Fan: the Songs of Leonard Cohen and was featured in the soundtrack For Shrek [2001] and actually surpasses Cohen's own version. Cale with just piano accompaniment effortlessly infuses the song with a wracked tenderness and almost palpable yearning without resorting to histrionics and overkill.
Which is more than can be said for Alexandra Burke , who although she sings it well in a technical sense , often lumbers the song with an overwrought slightly hysterical vocal -her voice sometimes quavering at the end of notes like she's just been told she can duet with Beyonce all over again. But that is the way vocalist's like Alexandra feel they have to sing ....unfortunately . What is truly hideous though, is the manner in which the third verse swells with over ripe orchestration and a saccharine choral arrangement . Hallelujah is a song that should be allowed to breathe , not suffocated in queasy over emoting and bloated production values.
A great song choice of a truly great song but alas a botched version. Not a total disaster( can you imagine how truly awful it would have been if Leon Jackson had covered It) but Alexandra could have done a terrific version if she had been allowed or told to sing it the way she sang the first two verses of "Silent Night" on the X Factor final show .With control and sensitivity rather than trampling all over it like a hippo with toothache. As it is i fear she will be ruined like Leona before her. Shame. But then what else could we expect from Cowell , a man who knows how to sell music but has no idea how to infuse it with any artistic credibility . Like the line from the song says "You don't, really care for music do you?". Neatly sums up what this is all about.

1.0 out of 5 stars Simply the wrong song, 20 Dec 2008
No disrespect to Alexandra Burke, she has a powerful voice and performed with exception during the x factor, however this song is not one she should ever attempt to sing. It doesn't suit her voice or style, it's intended to be subtle and plaintive not a screamer. She clearly has no emotional connection with the lyrics leaving the track devoid of any feeling.

1.0 out of 5 stars buy jeff buckley's, k.d Langs or rufus wainwrights version instead, 15 Dec 2008
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, however it's completely butchered here. Over the top vocals ruin it. It's meant to be sung simply. Awful cover.
