There have been many songs worthy of imitation but perhaps none is imitated more frequently as the 1984 song by Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah. When it was originally written, it didn’t exactly make a big splash but after it was covered by Jeff Buckley, it has become one of the more popular cover songs of all time. In fact, it is estimated that it has been covered over 300 times since it originally was written.
I have to admit, I love almost every different way that this song has been sung but now that I’ve heard it done by Pentatonix, it has ruined it for all others. If you are looking for pure singing perfection, this is it. Their a cappella version is absolutely raging online and with singing this beautiful, it is easy to see why.
Pentatonix is more than just an a cappella group, they are an Internet sensation. Since they got their start on YouTube, they have amassed more than 11 million subscribers and have over 1.5 billion total views on all of their videos. It will be interesting to see exactly how much this fantastic video adds to it.
