Over this side of the pond we have just had to endure about 3 months of excruciating television, The X Factor, trying to find the next BIG TALENT. This years winner is Alexandra Burke, Miss Burke has launched an assault on the pop chart with a very poor version of Leonard Cohen's "Halleujah". Over the past 5 years or so the Christmas #1 has been the winner of The X Factor. In an attempt to thwart this situation this year a bunch of us launched a move to get Jeff Buckley's brilliant version of this song to the #1 spot. Sadly we have failed. Alexandra is #1, Jeff is #2 and lo and behold, Leonard's version is #36.
2 winners here, Simon Cowell and Leonard Cohen.
Hear Alexandra's version here.
