    Any of the 6 million versions of Hallelujah except the original Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley.

    I swear wannabe pop singers see it as some sort of rite of passage but they universally murder it either by trying to replicate on of those two and coming up painfully short or embellishing it with flourishes and superfluous variations.

    It doesn’t make you look deep and thoughtful it just highlights what an average singer you are.

      Frankly, even the Buckley version is worse than the original. The song has a bad case of the “Born in the USA” syndrome.
