So who should have won in your opinion then Chris?

the winner isn't music

 

people like Jeff made it themself, wrote their own stuff, played instruments, he were incredible

 

he used to play every week at the sin-é cafe in New York, he's worth a billion of Alexandras

no one, i think they should have cancelled the program and drowned Simon Cowell in his money.

 

 

LOL that just made me laugh!

...this.

 

although i'd say he is worth more than billions of Alexandras.

 

Listening to his version of Hallelujah on Radio One again today reminded me what a great record it is. Must download it and get it back into my library.

The aforementioned beauty that is Jeff duetting with Elizabeth Fraser... All Flowers In time....

 

X Factor is nothing but a karaoke contest but it is still good entertainment and has produced 2 highly competent winners in 5 years

 

People should not take X Factor too seriously and just accept it is a glorified karaoke competition

 

 

Well over 500k+ sales for Alexandra this week shows that people like X-Factor winners' music. A moderator should be above wishing people dead on a public forum.

Which leaves at least 12.5m people who watched the final (and much of the rest of the three-month advertising campaign for the record) and DIDN'T buy it.

Everyone breaks the law when they go over the speed limit mate, to me downloading music or tv shows can be classed in that catergory, it is hardly murder or rape

^^ Completely agree.

 

I bet 90% of members on this forum have illegally downloaded music tbh

Oh so speeding is OK is it? Try telling that to the relatives of people killed in speed-related road accidents.

Speed doesn't kill c**p drivers who can't handle cars at speed do

 

I admit to being a speeder on country lanes that I know every inch of tarmac on, dual carriageways, motorways in the appropriate conditions and so on

 

I do not speed near schools. residential areas and so on so before you get all high and mighty I have 22 years of driving without a single accident bar striking a deer, I also have a protected no claims bonus and multiple years no claims discount B)

And it's the people walking along country lanes expecting drivers to stick to the limit who end up getting killed - including a friend of my sister. Telling her about the accident is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Speed kills and it's c**p drivers who speed. The limit is there for a reason.

I just adore Jeff Buckley's voice. He had such range. 4 octaves apparently! :o

 

Him singing Lilac Wine never fails to make me cry. :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

Last Goodbye is a fantastic song too :yahoo: :heart: :yahoo:

 

Lilac Wine

 

Last Goodbye (can't find a video that'll let me embed <_< )

That version of Lilac Wine is stunning. I used to like Elkie Brooks' version as a teenager but her version pales in comparison with this.

 

Yes he was reputed to have a wide vocal range. Fortunately, unlike many of today's divas, he chose to demonstrate it across a range of songs rather than trying to fit the whole range into each and every song.
