He Performed ‘Hallelujah’ In A Way That Made Simon Consider It One Of The Best Auditions Cover

There have been plenty of songs that have been covered over the years, but one that is quickly becoming the most popular is Hallelujah. Originally written and performed by Leonard Cohen, it really didn’t gain in popularity until it was performed by other artists at a later date. Now that Leonard Cohen has passed, the covers of this song take on an entirely new meaning.

When musician Jeff Gutt was a young child, he began playing the guitar and when he was in high school, he started singing. Although he was forced to abandon his musical talents for a number of years, he has now reached for it once again. It was after his son was born that he began back on the track of performing for others, and now he has performed in front of one of the toughest audiences out there.

When performing for a popular talent show, Simon Cowell was sitting as a judge. Simon is well known for being a rather tough character but after Jeff sang Hallelujah, Simon had to admit that it was one of the greatest auditions he had ever heard.
