The Hallelujah Chorus

[Poll #1315469]

I enjoyed both the X-Factor finalists' versions a lot more than I was expecting to. What occurred to me is that the lyrics aren't really designed to be sung in a power-soul style, but that actually this left me feeling a bit embarassed for the lyrics themselves*, not the singing or performance.

*and of course someone - Simon Cowell's? - selection from them: "Hallelujah" has about 50 billion verses so like American Pie any shortened cover versh will be a selection box.
