I know this, but did not feel it was relevant to my post. I assumed most people know the song is older than 1990s when Buckley's version was released

Leonard Cohen's is better than Buckley's imo.

Regardless, he will make most money from royalties, I suspect
Just checked iTunes and JB's version is already 23 in their charts!!
And now I must really get back to the Consoles section

Nice chatting with you,

I think overall JLS should have won - they certainly weren't any better or worse than Alexandra at the vocals, but she's got the charisma of a dead badger. Really boring person to watch on stage, almost sends me to sleep.
I think she'll get Christmas number one (which thanks to the X-Factor counts for absolutely zero these days) and then disappear.
I just hope she does it without murdering a Snow Patrol song on the way down.

the minute she started crying and pulling a face like she needed the loo i turned off!
didnt want her to win at all. shes boring and the same as everything else. Shes just leona all over again
i reckon Jls will get a contract out of it anyway. they had the biggest fan base according to last nights clip of them going home

She was just too overwhelmed with everything it must be so tense though, give her a break guys
Despite JLS not winning, they will have a decent career now.
As for Alex she has a stunning voice ... BUT i do hope Leona hits the no1 spot ...saying that a lot of people hate the Run cover by Leona
Also don't know about anyone else but Xfactor didnt grip me like last year ( even though i watched every show) lol

Does anyone else find it ironic that in this 'music' show none of the finalists will have a clue what 'the fourth, the fifth...minor...major' they are singing about are?

^^^ Who cares? the shows about vocal talent, knowing all that BS is nothing to do with what the show is looking for, in auditions they don't get through because of their academic abilities, so get out

Alexandra should be proud to sing this song, it was featured in the film 'Shrek'
as soon as i heard it, the first word out of my mouth was "Shrek"

I'm guessing you're one of those people who 'could have gone to University'.
No, why?
It's quite common for singers to know little about written music, and really it doesn't make much difference to them anyway. The two best singers in my year at high school could only just read music but couldn't say what key a piece was in or even that E is a semi-tone lower than F. All that matters to singers is the difference between notes, because keys are often changed to suit a voice.
Also, you have no idea what the finalists know about music theory. I don't know about the English systems, but in Scotland even 14 year old music pupils are taught the difference between minor and major.

We weren't, but, maybe I didn't notice as I've been able to rude music since I was tiny.

I prefer Rufus Wainwright's version
How about Myles from Alter Bridge?

Jeff Buckley's is my favorite though.
