Which cover do you think was the best for the song "Hallelujah"?
Or do you think the original version by Leonard Cohen was the best?

The original. I can't help but feel every cover I've heard of it has ruined it. I also really, really got pissed off when I saw a cover on X-factor or some shit, then later saw a "in memory of.." album being released, with his greatest hits.

I like the Jeff Buckley version. Also Damien Rice does a pretty solid cover as well.

Someone just won.

I don't like the original at all. It's a good song, it's well-written, but Cohen isn't much of a great singer.
