Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah' in chart battle with 'X Factor' version

Buckley fans protest against the TV talent show's cover of Leonard Cohen's song

X Factor shouldn't be allowed to use this or any credible song. They'll just wank it up like they normally do anyway. They should just stick to the shitty pop that they're famous for and leave the serious music to those who know what they're doing. If anyone actually thinks that the X Factor version could be anywhere near as good as Buckley's sublime rendition, then you are clearly a twat, and all you are doing is taking up space on this planet.
