I'm sure you could if you really put your mind to it.

The only problem I have with the X Factor is that it's ruined Christmas Number One. I remember quite a few years ago, listening to the charts on the way to a party, hoping that Bob the Builder could beat Westlife. Now its just shit! Hope Buckley's version gets number one......

The Teletubbies have never been Christmas Number One.

The Spice Girls beat them to it in 1997.

The 13/12 was the second week that it was at number one, it was then knocked off by the Spice Girls on the 20/12 - FACT!!!!

X Factor is shit FACT.

You should be famous for writing your own songs, not singing karaoke.

Finally the one good thing that has ever come of the X-Factor is that it will cause Leonard Cohen to be raking it in like he so deserves.

Still, awful version, ive never been of a fan of Buckley's either though. Cohen is a genius in my book though

Correct. FACT.

Cohen is a genius in my book though

Indeed. Whenever I'm feeling a bit low and depressed I put a few of Leonards finest uplifting songs on and in a very short time all of my worries seem to not be so important anymore.

My cousin John used to be a mad Cohen fan.
I say 'used to be' because he ended up topping himself.

If I thought it was going to be close I'd quite happily download Buckley's version, despite owning the CD. But let's face it X factor will win it hands down.

Although I'm told by my better half that Sony BMG own the rights to all three of the Burke/Buckley/Cohen versions, cunning marketing strategy

Seeing Leonard Cohen sing Hallelujah this summer was a moment I'll never ever forget. Was such an incredible experience.
