Stop the X-Factor juggernaut. If you're going to buy a version of Hallelujah this Christmas please buy this version.

http://www.7digital.com/artists/jeff-buckley/hallelujah-1/ - unencumbered high quality 320k mp3 89p

http://www.tunetribe.com/product/index.html?id=604507 - cheaper but semi-crippled WMA (windows file) only 49p

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=254578201&s=143444 - 79p but DRM AAC file from Apple

http://www.play.com/Music/MP3-Download-Track/4-/6754724/Hallelujah/Product.html?aid=6754310 - Play.com 65p

    It could have been much worse. Diana could have been singing it.

    I can't think of anything worse than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

    My daughter told me a few weeks ago that the winners song would be Hallelujah and we all thought it was especially for Diana as she was the favourite. I would've joined any campaign to have stopped that from happening. Now that Alexandra has won, the best woman won and she deserves it. I prefer Buckleys version but I dont think Alex version is that bad tbh. Will I buy it? Probably for my 6 year old son who loves her.

    It's just a shame this version has never been officially released as IMO it blows ALL the other ones out of the water (and, to the uninformed, yes, it is a woman :rolleyes: , and arguably the best female singer on the planet).

    There is a big following of this building up. If everyone does download it, it might just stop the Xfactor Christmas number one.
