Default Both acts . .

. . . absolutely MURDERED Hallelujah. Alex totally oversung it and JLS aka Aston and The Dream Boys just ****ed it up with their harmonies.

It also saddens me that this song will be the only version of it most of the young generation will ever hear. I'm going ton have to listen to all the chavvy kids singing it for the next three months,knowing they have no concept of how beautiful that song can be.

JLS murdered Hallelujah.
Disagree with Alex's.

And I won't, seeing as nobody I know watches The X Factor.

SOngs are sung differently. I prefer other versions, but Alex's was fantastic. And all great songs are covered by other artists, and it will be covered again. SO wht if a generation relates to this one? A lot of people preferred Buckel to Cohen. Its just a matter of taste.

I loved both versions, and I am sure Eoghan's was good as well.

JLS's was too quiet, dodgy sound levels YET AGAIN

Alexandra's was really good. I disagree when people say she oversang it. Where are the rules saying it cannot be sung like that?

It's just one of those songs, it's like the power ballads without the token big note.

The music and lyrics are clearly meant to be sung in a slightly lower tone. Thats why JLS pulled it off better, though as I said neither were great.

I can guarantee if Alexandra came first then came Leonards version, you would think a lot differently

Loads of songs have been transformed like this in the past and have come out better. Run has been turned into a big power ballad and a lot of people prefer that over the original even though its not intended to be sung that way, the same with Without You (the *Mariah* song)

As I said in another thread its about putting your own stamp on the song, not doing a copycat version just because the original artist wanted it to be like that.
