The Jeff Buckley Version Of "Hallelujah" Is The Best Version Yet Produced.
Many people like this song but views as to who they think performs it best vary wildly, from the original Cohen, to Buckley, to Jovi. Personally I think Buckley's version is best.

Think Buckley is best - really like the melancholy tone to it, but i prefer some of the later Cohen verses.

Hallelujah is one such song which was being covered by many but the most renowned names are Jeff Buckley and Jon Bon Jovi. The actual song was by Cohen but there are people who say that it was Jeff Buckley who covered the song in much a better way than what the original one was done. Since choices and preferences vary from person to person, thus I believe that obviously the Cohen one was no doubt good and as it was the original version thus it was different from others. But among the covers I prefer the Jon Bon Jovi’s performance and production than the Buckley one. Bon Jovi was more close to the original song than yet he maintained his own signature and sound designing in the song but Jeff Buckley’s version was not that good to me, though mechanically there was no fault at all.
