Am I the only one dissapointed with Jovi's Hallelujah?
It is, without doubt, an incredible song. But a bloody demanding one, requiring an absolutely outstanding vocal if not to sound repetitive. Even Leonard Cohen's original drags in comparison to Jeff Buckley or Rufus Wainwright.
The bar has been set extremely high for that song and it is just not right for Bon Jovi - it needs a subteldy they just don't deal in. I hadn't heard their version before the 02, so was thinking they could do it justice if they really built up the harmonies and had some kind of original arrangement, but it just felt a little plain on the night.
