Not really. My objection to Alex's version is the key change signalling the arrival of the big production. I think the song is a strong enough song not to have needed it. But it's like the producer read something like 'Power ballads for Dummies' and then followed it step by step. The Violins, the harps, the choir none of those were needed. That production could have been done on any piece of sh*t song but instead they decided to murder a much loved song. Surely they must realise some people were not going to like that.

I don't know how I didn't win
All The Irish kept me in
And Louis Said,
You're in the Final
Ooh yah,
Hallelooyah,hallelooyah................

I want Jeff to get to #1 but I know its never going to happen so I'll still be happy with #2.

Jeff Buckly is an amazing singer, his version is sooo good!
