But its goofiness is endearing, and it gets a boost for being titled "Hallelujah, Shrek," as though the lovable green ogre were the song's true spiritual forefather. Ois Easy Infinite Contemporary Lounge, Vol 2 , : "Hallelujah" has been translated into several languages, but here's another foreign-language singer trying it out in English, a fact that becomes clear when "Bathing" rhymes with "Laughing. Even that doesn't quite capture the surreal effect of this delicate, Spanish-language version.
The members hail from different countries but each knew Cohen's song, a testament to its 21st-century popularity on Idol and other reality shows. Jason Mann Soul , : It's a competent enough guitar-and-voice reading, but why is the tempo so slow? And why must it drag on for six-and-a-half minutes?
Or maybe those queries are related Sons of Serendip single download, : "Hallelujah" is frequently mistaken for an ancient religious standard rather than a pop song written in the s. Church-friendly, muzak-y recordings like this one, from an America's Got Talent quartet, don't help matters.
It comes complete with a harp, predictably irritating oversinging and strings that flutter all the way to the heavens. Cohen's lyrics, meanwhile, are all too biting and bemused for this sort of soaring majesty.
Lisa Lois Smoke , : Yet another reality-show-performance-turned-studio-recording, this one from the Dutch X-Factor. Lois's piano-based "Hallelujah" is capably sung but more showy than affecting.
Studio flourishes are minimal, but catch that vocal echo trick at I am neither infant nor parent, so I cannot speak to its efficiency, but be assured—it's instrumental, so there's no need to expose your child to that "remember when I moved in you" line.
Anna Clendening America's Got Talent , : "Keep the bar low when it comes to expectations" is the rule on contest shows, and this AGT contestant starts by talking about her "anxiety and depression disorder" and being bedridden for a year--before knocking it out of the park. That's right, their heroine is Celine Dion.
And no, love is not a victory march. Josh Vietti Best of Both Worlds , : Want to hear how an instrumental "Hallelujah" sounds in the hands of a virtuoso violinist? Okay, here you go.
Straight No Chaser Under the Influence , : An earnest enough a cappella arrangement for those who like their vocal accompaniment with plenty of breathy Ooohs , Aaaahs and Ba-dums. Noah Guthrie Hallelujah , : A smoky, campfire-style take from a year-old YouTube-famous singer whose voice sounds triple the age.
An odd fit, but an A- for effort. Rhema Marvanna Believe , : Okay, here's a fun one. You hear those piano arpeggios and think it's another uselessly uninventive "Hallelujah" until the vocals pop in and you realize the little girl on the album cover is not a ruse—she's the one singing, and a quick bio reveals she was indeed born in The instrumental backing—key change and all—is a melodramatic mess, but Marvanna is a delight, especially the twang on her voice when she sings "The baffled king com pos in' Hallelujah!
Alexandra Burke Overcome , : The English singer has impressive pipes, and the song helped her win the fifth season of The X Factor. But the best "Hallelujah" covers operate on restraint, and Burke's gospel-tinged, key-change-ready performance has none of it.
Dan Henig Hallelujah , : It's all a fairly routine singer-songwriter-y "Hallelujah" until the beatboxing comes in—and doesn't let up for three otherwise affecting minutes of wordless cooing. According to Wikipedia, Henig is "notable for his viral YouTube video cover of Get Low," so this is a curious new direction.
A Hurricane Sandy-themed Adam Sandler parody of "Hallelujah" is even less so, but it warrants a few points for 1 its Paul Shaffer accompaniment and 2 its rhyming of "Hallelujah" with "ounce Mountain Dew-ya. It's just…there. The King's Singers From the Heart , : One of the earlier and better a cappella recordings of "Hallelujah," by an English sextet that's been around longer than the song has. By the final refrain, these guys are reaching octave levels that would make Leonard Cohen blush.
Still, be wary of "Hallelujah" versions that carry on past the six-minute mark—the refrain is almost guaranteed to be stretched beyond its limits. Allison Crowe Tidings , : If you are yowling at full throttle by the second mark, your "Hallelujah" cover may be hitting its dramatic arc a bit early. This performance by the Canadian singer is solid but oversung.
Its timing was interesting, following the Shrek appearance but predating the American Idol trend by at least a few years. Halle luj ah! At least it's different.
It's an inventively airy, quick-footed orchestral arrangement, and Fleming's vocals are blandly capable without overdoing it. But the melody—and the slow-building majesty of it all—is an awkward stylistic match at best. It's a callback to two superior versions: Rice's voice is similar to Wainwright's, while his guitar accompaniment owes to Buckley. Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris Hope for Haiti Concert , : A song for all occasions, including earthquake relief telethons, Cohen's opus still has the power to surprise the people singing it.
When Timberlake sings, "Maybe there's a god above," he looks like he is allowing for the possibility for the first time. Yeah, and Charlie Sexton on guitar. The dude can sing, as Steely Dan will attest. Problem is, "Hallelujah" isn't a sexy slow jam you can pad out with sultry blues guitar flourishes —but the weird stylistic challenge of it all is striking and uniquely done. Window to the Heart.
