Hallelujah

I first came across the song 'Hallelujah' on one of those 'Oprah Moments' on the Hallmark Channel on Astro. It was performed by The Canadian Tenors with a special surprise appearance by Celine Dion. It is a really beautiful song.

Having done some research, I found out that the song was originally composed and sung by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen way back in 1984. I subsequently Googled the song and found a number of different versions, all sung in a different style but nevertheless retaining the beauty of its melodic phrasing.

Here are 3 such versions :
