Hallelujah

Everyone and their mothers love this song. The Jeff Buckley version, that is. As they should. It still ticks me off that people thought that dreadlocked kid from American Idol sang it well. I thought it was horrendous. (I know his name, but if college stoner kids who really can't sing and who can barely strum a guitar, can have a legitimate pop music career, I am certainly not to going to help it along).

This performance of the song is worth checking out. Simply gorgeous. Two of these guys are from the Norwegian Idol or Icelandic Idol or something like that, and the other two are... well, two other guys I don't know.



Oh, and here is a fantastic blog entry about the history of the song. I love when people put this much thought into something from pop culture that deserves to be seriously considered.
