Music Man

With all this fuss about the song "Hallelujah" I thought I ought to do a bit of research. There seem to be plenty of versions of it, and having listened to them I have to say that the X-Factor girl Alexandra Burke's is not bad, and better than some, even if it is a bit emotionally over the top and heavily dependent on the arrangement and the backing. But I am far more attracted to the various parodies, and for me the pick of the bunch is the one you will find at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kIMBxwKzlKs. Not only are the lyrics clever and - unlike the original - make sense, but whoever sings it has a good voice and musically, it stands up with the best of them.
