I heard of Mr Cohen's death yesterday and immediately thought of this song and performance by this lady. Thank you Mr Cohen for leaving the world such a beautiful gift. May your soul rest in peace Sir.

I heard it for the first time after a night spent by my sister-in-law's bed, with a brain tumor, and while I was driving tears began to flow and I perceived so strong the presence of God that I had a sneaky feeling a miracle would have happened ... That miracle didn't happen, two years have passed, we try to take care of your wonderful four children, the best we can, but every time I listen to it I think to you Mary ... May God bless you wherever you are Sister
I think the miracle was in her being with you another 2 years. I apologize if I'm overstepping my bounds, I just wanted to convey that possibility to you. I am very truly sorry about your sister-in-law's transition. It sounds like you have a wonderful guardian looking out for you now though. 🤍
The miracle you were expecting didn't happen here, but the moment that Mary passed she was in the Awesome presence of our GOD and King, and very likely unable to do anything, but sing Hallelujah..... GOD bless, protect and heal you, in His Holy Name, amen
My husband loved this song and the way Alexandra sang it, Rest in Peace Stuart, I listen to it daily as it helps me get through the grief process. Tears still flow and always will. I loved you more then life itself and still do and always will.
This is by far the best rendition of this song I've ever heard, even the original from the original singer. she delivered the best performance ever! powerful!
Simon was a nearly speechless. The previous year he sent her home. This night he told her, that was phenomenal. I have watched this performance numerous times and listened to her delivering this flawless classic with passion and perfection. She always leaves me spellbound as the greatest rendition ever.
June 2021, Who's still watching? This song fills me up with profound positivity and I hope it does the same to you❤ P.S- coming back here after 2 years, and the kind of energy this song fills me up with, is unmatched and unparalleled. Tough covid times, I pray that each one of you out there beat it and stand stronger than ever!!
I listen to this version because it is the best. Merry Christmas Alexandra I STOPPED "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" INCLUDING Merry Christmas AND MY BIRTHDAY WHEN I MET HOLYDAY JESUS. GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS BEFORE IS LATE. RELIGION CANNOT SAVE YOU. JAMES 4:4.
Now that the great composer is gone, this song will become an anthem of love for the whole world and perhaps the most covered song ever. R.I.P. Mr.Cohen.
:) I used perhaps only because I didn't want a debate on that matter but I believe you're right. All those talent shows like the voice and x-factor in all their versions around the world offer at least one adaptation of that song in every seasons.
Denis Qallija Yes I know it's my favorite because of the way he played the guitar, he made it sound so ethereal, the intro alone takes you right into the mood. It's the cover that made the song popular along the movie Shreck and then the lady here inspired a lot of women to try it right along the K.D. Lang version. I Checked the new covers with a simple search by date, it's totally crazy, there used to be a sea of covers for that song now it's becoming a deep ocean :) Plus some covers do not even appear in the search page because they are covers of covers that do not mention the author, a bit sad. So the craziest thing here is that the most covered song will also have the most covered covers....(lol)
You know a performance is incredible when it sounds better than the recorded version. Alexandra should be so proud - this is one of the BEST X Factor performances ever!!
wbaxm5 nie przejmuj sie nie jestes sam. Ja tez z twardego faceta zrobilem sie takie dziecko jak uslyszalem ta piosenke. Po prostu mistrzostwo SWIATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
Dear Lord have mercy on all of us during this time of a devastating virus in 2020. Please God save those suffering, sick, in pain and grieving. Give never ending grace and strength to all those trying to save others. In Jesus precious name I pray. Amen.
How could 23 souls not approve of this beautiful song. This is an excellent version. Whenever I need a bit of peace from this awful world I listen in. Thanks for sharing this with us ✝️
I m an Indian n hindu by religion trust me God is beyond religion . Whatever we sing for him as a hymn gives power no matter who u r n from which country n cast u belong
Absolutely phenomenal.. Keep coming back to this version. One of the best EVER. She sounds and looks like a heavenly angel. My goodness!!! gives me goosebumps every time!
*Hallelujah* (My original lyrics below in response to the performance. Apologies to Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen ) Wow, is amazing. I've never heard of somebody sing a song too well before , but she did. This song was always meant for a gospel soul treatment, and she did it perfectly. It was beautiful and _never broken_ . And that's why she failed. The explicitly song calls for "brokenness" . Hallelujah is a beautiful and a terrible song. It takes you to the time of greatest love through some of the times of greatest pain. But her voice takes you from Wonder thru triumph to healing. But the song says the Opposite: "And love is not a victory march" She sung a victory march. So she misses, ( violates , and sanitizes ) the whole purpose, of the song. "It's not somebody who's seen the light" Thats all Alexendra Burke sings. She does it well, but thats not what this song is about. *Hallelujah* This isn't the song. The words are here, the notes are too, But it's missing, the empty forlorn lost cry That means "I love you" Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah She forgot to add the ache and blues; get on your knees, beg for news: *What you've most lost for : Hallelujah!* hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah With no pain , just triumph and gain, A call to make all , as right as rain; She sings a solid victory hallelujah. ... Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah The breaking heart wants to breathe again, It know s her victory song will never reign on its Holy Broken Hallelujah . hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah. The missing piece, she put it back she thought she solved the hearts puzzle itself; and played a wholely unbroken hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah. But that empty space, we need it so, Even. Tho it aches below , And begs and screams and cries aloud: "I wish with you that I had died " : A holy Broken Hallelujah; Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
You´re so damn right... Of course she´s a good singer, but Buckleys version is out of this world...... Cohen has written the song (god bless him for that), and his version is amazing. But sorry, I have to repeat it: Buckley has made the greatest song of all time of it.
Chris Sim Its Buckley s song. He was true to the original but perfected it. You have to hear Buckley's version to hear how badly she screwed it up. You have to hear Buckley deliberately miss notes, to know she was supposed to show some strain. She is supposed to mix in humility vulnerability and frailty. It's in the Lyrics. Instead she was a diva and gave us glamour and narcissism.
***** ...I wish youtube had an idiot filter. Since you are generous to offer self-improvement tips Maybe , just maybe _you_ should actually read the original versions of the song leonard Cohen wrote, ** and then listen what Leonard Cohen said about what he meant. ** There are somethings large here that you are missing. The song was written TO proud people like you, over that exact reason: "You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah" www.rollingstone.com/music/news/exclusive-book-excerpt-leonard-cohen-writes-hallelujah-in-the-holy-or-the-broken-20121203 "I wanted to push the Hallelujah deep into the secular world, into the ordinary world," he once said. "The Hallelujah, the David's Hallelujah, was still a religious song. So I wanted to indicate that Hallelujah can come out of things that have nothing to do with religion." ***************** "Hallelujah" doesnt mean "I am great". It doesnt mean "I am proud" It doesnt mean "you are winning". It doesnt mean "I am a prince worship me" . If thats what you feel when you say it, maybe you are doing it wrong. ***** ( If you are lucky ) You are going to get sick, you are going to get old. You are going to lose all that you posses. probably in painful pieces. +Leonard Cohen song and +jeff Buckleys version speak to that.
EBlu3 NeCr0 5 years in childrens choir, hunty. And where am I saying that she cant sing? What Im saying is that her theatrical and overly affected way of singing ruins this song. So stfu.
I literally cried at the end and got goosebumps throughout the whole listening. My God, this song combined to her voice is just something out of the world.. I'd say it's ethereal.
This song reminds me of my grandmother....she passed away about 11 months ...and it was so hard for me to say her goodbye 😢💔 i love you grandma... wherever you are.....you raised me up...i own you my life...always in my thoughts and in my heart......25/2/48-4/8/19
Not goodbye for you are her legacy so laugh, love, taste the flavors and savor each breath for in that she lives on in gratitude and memory until you are united. That is the circle of life.
Fechem todas as janelas e abram os portões do céu, essa moça é maravilhosa, sua voz é um espetáculo glorificando ao Senhor...obrigado Senhor... glória Deus, Aleluia...
Glaci Mendes Sim eu sei que não é religiosa, mas tudo que nela se canta tem base bíblica, quem conhece da Bíblia entende o significado, os presongens citados, esse é meu ponto de vista!

Wow, powerful, emotional, and perfect. I really loved how she built this up. Exactly what this songs message is to me
I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started
drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all

i watch this performance every day i feel so good watching this beatiful soul. may the lord bless you girl. Lots of love from kenya
😐😐😐😐😐
I've come back to watch this performance for endless times every year. What a talent! What a powerful performance!
*Hallelujah*
(My original lyrics below in response to the performance. Apologies to Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen )
Wow, is amazing. I've never heard of somebody sing a song too well before , but she did.
This song was always meant for a gospel soul treatment, and she did it perfectly.
It was beautiful and _never broken_ .
And that's why she failed. The explicitly song calls for "brokenness" .
Hallelujah is a beautiful and a terrible song. It takes you to the time of greatest love through some of the times of greatest pain.
But her voice takes you from Wonder thru triumph to healing.
But the song says the Opposite: "And love is not a victory march"
She sung a victory march.
So she misses, ( violates , and sanitizes ) the whole purpose, of the song.
"It's not somebody who's seen the light"
Thats all Alexendra Burke sings. She does it well, but thats not what this song is about.
*Hallelujah*
This isn't the song.
The words are here, the notes are too,
But it's missing, the empty forlorn lost cry
That means "I love you"
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
She forgot to add the ache and blues;
get on your knees, beg for news:
*What you've most lost for : Hallelujah!* hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
With no pain , just triumph and gain,
A call to make all , as right as rain;
She sings a solid victory hallelujah. ...
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
The breaking heart wants to breathe again,
It know s her victory song will never reign on its Holy Broken Hallelujah . hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah.
The missing piece, she put it back
she thought she solved the hearts puzzle itself;
and played a wholely unbroken hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah.
But that empty space, we need it so,
Even. Tho it aches below ,
And begs and screams and cries aloud:
"I wish with you that I had died "
: A holy Broken Hallelujah;
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
You´re so damn right...
Of course she´s a good singer, but Buckleys version is out of this world......
Cohen has written the song (god bless him for that), and his version is amazing.
But sorry, I have to repeat it: Buckley has made the greatest song of all time of it.
Chris Sim Its Buckley s song.
He was true to the original but perfected it. You have to hear Buckley's version to hear how badly she screwed it up. You have to hear Buckley deliberately miss notes, to know she was supposed to show some strain. She is supposed to mix in humility vulnerability and frailty. It's in the Lyrics. Instead she was a diva and gave us glamour and narcissism.
Adam Black well,
I don't care about how's song it is, Buckleys version is perfect music and that's all I need ;)

***** ...I wish youtube had an idiot filter. Since you are generous to offer self-improvement tips
Maybe , just maybe _you_ should actually read the original versions of the song leonard Cohen wrote, **
and then listen what Leonard Cohen said about what he meant.
**
There are somethings large here that you are missing.
The song was written TO proud people like you, over that exact reason:
"You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah"
www.rollingstone.com/music/news/exclusive-book-excerpt-leonard-cohen-writes-hallelujah-in-the-holy-or-the-broken-20121203
"I wanted to push the Hallelujah deep into the secular world, into the ordinary world," he once said. "The Hallelujah, the David's Hallelujah, was still a religious song. So I wanted to indicate that Hallelujah can come out of things that have nothing to do with religion."
*****************
"Hallelujah" doesnt mean "I am great".
It doesnt mean "I am proud" It doesnt mean "you are winning". It doesnt mean "I am a prince worship me" .
If thats what you feel when you say it, maybe you are doing it wrong.
***** ( If you are lucky ) You are going to get sick, you are going to get old. You are going to lose all that you posses. probably in painful pieces. +Leonard Cohen song and +jeff Buckleys version speak to that.
Going December 2019 and Im still watching this
I am. Wonderful
Me
I am, for like the 1000000 time
I am. This version inspired me to find a total of 14 versions sung and one that was instrumental..

By far the worst.
Screw off dude, you have to admit she can sing
+Ray Amury stfu u cant do it soo

EBlu3 NeCr0 5 years in childrens choir, hunty. And where am I saying that she cant sing? What Im saying is that her theatrical and overly affected way of singing ruins this song. So stfu.
Absolute best performance of this song! No one can sing it better!

This song reminds me of my grandmother....she passed away about 11 months ...and it was so hard for me to say her goodbye 😢💔 i love you grandma... wherever you are.....you raised me up...i own you my life...always in my thoughts and in my heart......25/2/48-4/8/19
Not goodbye for you are her legacy so laugh, love, taste the flavors and savor each breath for in that she lives on in gratitude and memory until you are united. That is the circle of life.

Jedyna osoba po Panie Kohenie śpiewa z tak wielkim uczuciem.Potencjał głosu czystośc i moc dotarcia do ludzkich serc.Dziękuję❤❤❤
I’m watching for Christmas 🎄😍..
It's a beautiful song of how we should praise God even in our darkest times because, he will always receive us with open arms.
So emotional. Hugs from Israel
Hallelujah - הללויה
This is a word in hebrew.
Thinking of you all in Israel!
What does it mean?
@@KingJoseph

Hallelu - Praise
Jah - another name of god in the bible.

PERFECT,Alexandra Burke, GOD BLESS YOU
+Hawtir Beja GOD BLESS U SIS
thank you bless you too...
Fechem todas as janelas e abram os portões do céu, essa moça é maravilhosa, sua voz é um espetáculo glorificando ao Senhor...obrigado Senhor... glória Deus, Aleluia...
Olhem a tradução dessa música, não exalta a Deus, a letra dela zomba do Rei Davi, de Salomão e do Deus vivo!
a música nã é religiosa apesar do Aleluia. Conta a historia de um romance, o de Davi.
Glaci Mendes Sim eu sei que não é religiosa, mas tudo que nela se canta tem base bíblica, quem conhece da Bíblia entende o significado, os presongens citados, esse é meu ponto de vista!
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
it has been almost 10 years since she sang this song.. yet this is the best cover of it
bloody tomato ikr ..so powerful
Canadian Tenors
I think Jeff Buckley did the best version.
bloody tomato I was a bit far but still actual in time...
Better than original
