This was one of my favorites from the telethon. I don't wanna like Justin Timberlake, but dang this song was good. And who the heck is Matt Morris? He's good.

i never heard of him either...but he is good......he and justin did a great job on halellujah....i tried to paste into youtube but it wouldnt let me, so i added two other versions to my playlist, lol.

I love this song, but I thought they sang it to slow. Not that slow is bad for this song, but it meant they only sang half of it.

I've been a big fan of that song ever since I heard it in Shrek. I've even managed to get over the fact that Leonard Cohen wrote it, and I suppose I won't even let the fact that Justin Timberlake touched it, ruin it for me.

Missing from most versions:

You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light

In every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken Hallelujah

...

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though

It all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

I think the two vocals and the harmony are just awesome. Even knowing that Shrek is one of my fav movies..I still can appreciate this version.
