Don't get me wrong; I like Alexandra's version, thought JLS did it well too and like Buckley's treatment.

But listen to Leonard singing his own lyrics - his "secret chord" - "the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift" and especially "the battle king composing Hallelujah" (what a lyric that is).... and you can see why it's the original that fulfills the word ART.

Dear All;

I have watched this subject without writing, but I think that this will amuse and entertain as a link.



The chorus line on X-Factor would appear to be not a new idea as I think many of us thought it was, but please do check out the dancer in the short film, that peeks their head out too early on the set, it is a very amusing moment.

I have to also say, that I agree with JK about the musical "jokes" in the lyrics of Leonards` song, they are in danger of being lost, if one does not compare them to the original and the world just listens to what they think is a pop drama. The song is not, it is very clever.
