'Hallelujah' is the X-Factor single and certainly Christmas no. 1

It's such a shame that Simon cowell has chosen for the X-Factor winner, Alexandra Burke's first (and probably only) single to be a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. I've loved the famous jeff Buckley version for ages, it's one of my all time favourite songs.

To be honest, I've heard the X-Factor version and I can't help but admit it isn't actually bad at all. I don't dislike her version of it, I just dislike the thought of one of my favourite songs becoming an icon for pre-produced mass-marketed flash in the pan money grabbing shit like X-Factor, and I hate the thought of it making a lot of money for that twat Cowell.

Alexandra is really hot, too, apart from the fact that she looks like Count Von Count. It's the nose.

Also, even though I've had his 'Grace' album for ages I had no idea what Jeff Buckley looked like until yesterday. Turns out he's an exact prereplica of James Franco. Compare the two on the right - can you tell which is which?
