Hallelujah
Ok, so I know I'm WAY behind the times, but even with Michael being on DWTS I didn't wan't to watch the show. After reading posts about his appearance singing this song I finally searched for it on Youtube and was astounded by what I found!!!! I've been listening to Michael sing since I was 14 years old or so...I've always loved the purity in his voice, but THIS is right up there with hearing him sing Nessun Dorma!!! WOW! Does anyone know if there is a recording of this. I HAVE to have this song!!!!!!!! Thanks for bearing with my delayed reaction...hahahaha. You guys are the best!

Hi and welcome Jessi
Michael was asked to do the show when Susan Boyle pulled out being that she was sick, Michael was asked and he had just 1 hour to practise with the choir and band before air time I believe.
He did a magnificent job and has relished in the fact that we the audience and we his biggest supporters loved it so from what I believe he will record it but I don't think anyone could really say when at this time sorry ......
perhaps if he had sung it a bit earlier it could have been released on his xmas cd but alas it is not so Jessi we have to wait and hope he gets around to it soon :)
Again welcome
All the best

Hi Jessi, well, better late than never sweetie! :D Well, since as Dianna said there was such an overwhelming reaction to the song, we were all wondering if he had put it on his Xmas album and asked Gail, the most likely person to know, to investigate for us. She told us he had no plans but was thinking about it. I thought:”Thinking about it, is he kidding?” and considered starting a petition in favor! Lol But when I read everyone’s comments on the blogs, I knew I didn’t have to. But not too long afterwards, he actually stated on his “Hi everyone” blog post on October 13 that he intended to record it for his next album scheduled to be released in May. Now remember that the operative word is “scheduled” so let’s keep our fingers crossed. There you go girl, take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hi again Jessi, I thought I'd throw these in: I found the complete lyrics on-line, but many different people have sung partial lyrics in their own version. Enjoy! Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
Hallelujah lyrics full version
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
This is love not some kind of a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Yeah but it's not a complaint that you hear tonight,
It's not the laughter of someone who claims to have seen the light
No it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah…
Leonard Cohen 1984 & 1994

Hello Sylvie, Merci beaucoup pour avoir partagé les paroles de cette chanson magnifique qui remonte le temps et nous fait voyager à travers l'espace ! Les allusions aux histoires de la Bible sont délicates mais sures ! Merci encore Grande Soeur Je t'embrasse A bientôt.... Bye BD

Hi Bernadette, that was my pleasure, they were not hard to find. Glad you enjoy them. I can’t wait until Michael records it: it’ll finally be the perfect version of it! Take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
