Agreed.:thumbs:

Both her and JLS' versions were terrible. The problem is the key change which signals the arrival of the strings and the choir and the kitchen sink. Without that both X-factor versions would have been quite good.

Jeff buckley is not overrated FACT

Egghead would have sung it better though, with a dance halfway through maybe? 'she tied you to the kitchen chair' :dance2:
Mind you, I'm glad he never got to sing all 80 verses!! :dance:

I see "Fact!" Is catching on lol

I hate how some people are so far up Jeff's bum with this song.

Fair enough if you like the song, but you don't need to start acting all defensive and rude when someone doesn't like his version or prefers another. It's funny because there are some people who act like this, yet probably have never heard anything else from Jeff and act as if this one song is the biggest masterpiece ever made.

(Obviously I'm not aiming this post at everyone who said his version was the best in this thread, just those who can't admit there are people who may not have heard of it/or like it.)

Lol FACT

Markus, I think the offence taken in this thread has more to do with the thread title.

Saying Jeff Buckley is overrated is an opinion.

If the thread were entitled "I think Jeff Buckley is overrated" or "Do you think Jeff Buckley is overrated?", then there might not be such responses.

That's just my take on it anyway.

And, I haven't ever heard any other Jeff Buckley stuff. As far as I'm aware Lauren is a big fan though. :thumbs:

Calling a dead person overrated is what has got me annoyed

Like I say, it's the wording of the thread, more than anything else.

After all, it's an opinion, which everyone is entitled to, but it was put across as fact. Or at least that's how I perceived it.

That wouldn't surprise me.
I mean, I've got the Grace Legacy Edition album and it's amazing, but because Hallelujah's got so much press coverage atm people are bound to jump on the bandwagon.

If anything, I think Jeff's underrated.
I don't see much praise for his work in the real world as opposed to reviews/online.
