Generation Game meets the X factor

Grace album coverImage via WikipediaIn support of JP's call to arms, here's Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah.

It's up against the UK X Factor winner Alexandra Burke's version of the Leonard Cohen original (and likely the Cohen version too) in a race to be Christmas Number 1.

If X doesn't quite hit the spot for you, you know what to do this Christmas...

When will they learn?

  1. David - is this cross media community at its best, or promotional manipulation at its worst?

  3. as an aside...i didn't watch the XFactor at all, but on monday morning at work there was much chatter about the outcome and the song 'Hallelujah' that had won.
    Looking at the pic of her-what-won-it i was really struggling to see how such a fresh faced youth had managed to interpret the drug addled swagger of a certain Shaun Ryder and pull it off! wrong Hallelujah, of course. ho hum ;)
