I have never heard a version that wasn't great. My favorite is by a young woman named Brandi Carlisle. I think that hallelujah is just one of those rare songs that combine a certain chord progression that stirs something in humans. Add to that the genius of Leonard Cohen lyrics and it becomes timeless. One of my favorite lines from a Leonard Cohen poem is :
"Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free".
