I bought the album for the song hallelujah since I heard it on Sopranos and I didn't know who sang it but it stayed in my mind. When I heard Xfactor winner had recorded it I thought another great song ruined as I'm not into the over dramatic singers they churn out every season. I can't bothered to watch plastic pop. I have listened to the cd a few times but I find it a bit gloomy, although he has a good voice and the music is great I'm taking my time to warm to it. But I love music and wont dismiss it. I love to listen to talented people and he was very talented, my advice, never listen to it if you are dpressed cos he won't cheer you up!
