My parents are good friends with josh, he’s preformed a lot in Ohio, always not cocky or mad at the fact that he didn’t win. He preformed at my uncle’s wedding and was as good here. He is truly one of the best people I’ve met and is a very humble man. He’s always open for conversation about any topic, and is always a great man. Krajick is one of my favorites and a great friend.
Even 11 years later, I play this almost weekly. I've listened to it everyday for weeks this past time lol it's just an amazing song with an amazing voice. I'm working on my own rendition now, I would love to collab one day with this man
This is one of the most beautiful performances of ANY song EVER!!! I watched this entire season of x factor and when Josh didn't win I never watched another singing competition show ever. Melanie amaro was a great singer but there's hundreds of singers that sound like her. No one sounds like josh. Every song he performs he makes sound original and he puts every ounce of himself in them. He is absolutely amazing as an artist and singer!!!
I stopped watching the X factor after he lost and in my opinion was one of the biggest mistakes the show has ever done was not letting this man win this man deserves way more recognition than what he got
All these years later, I still come back here. I remember this night, vividly. This is when you became one of my most loved singers. Everything you put into that song was unreal. Extremely well done 👍
Unfortunately the template to be a famous singer now is to be young, beautiful, trendy, and cool. Unfortunately, music nowadays lack passion, rawness and soul.
In the shadowed valley, I lift my song, Praises to the Father, to the Lord Jehovah, With faith in my heart, in a voice so strong, To You, Creator, my soul cries out. David raised his psalm in desperation, Surrounded by enemies, in anguish and pain, But found in You, a sincere refuge, In Your name, Jehovah, source of love. Hallelujah, a cry from the deepest being, In green pastures, in dark nights, For even in trials, I can see, Your light guiding, in such hard nights. Eternal protection, faithful shield, You deliver us from the sword, from ruthless hands, In Your embrace, Father, I find the honey, Of Your promises, so wonderful. Praised be, God of the Universe, Father of Jesus, in infinite grace, In each psalm, an immersed praise, In Your greatness, my soul finds its place. Hallelujah, to the King, Creator of the sky, Your deeds, Lord, shall be eternal, In Your love, my heart is bound, Forever I praise You, in adoration. Thus, David sang, thus I sing, In a chorus of faith, in honor and glory, Jehovah, supreme Father, in Your cloak, Rests my life, Your eternal story.
This is EASILY the best version of that song, ever, with a more soulful connection than ever displayed by anyone else singing this song or maybe any other! I guess there’s a reason we haven’t seen that first judge judging anything, ever again, after that RIDICULOUS review he gave that night! Obviously, he is not qualified to judge true talent. Thanks again, Josh, for sharing a special, unforgettable performance. I feel like I keep coming back to this year after year and sharing this video with others every so often who need to see that best version of “Hallelujah” whenever the song is brought up! ;)
LA is just crazy ... this has been done so many times that it really takes a killer performance for my mouth to drop open anymore and Krajcik just blew me away again ... I'd forgotten how stunning this performance was.
This hallelujah right here 0:52 holds so much emotion for me. There is so much tenderness and loneliness put into that one word. And some idiot had to ruin it by screaming right after that beautiful tender note.
I've must of heard over 90 different people sing this song from the original signer to even Bon Jovi and Josh Krajcik still signs it better then any one I'v heard period when he signs he gets under my skin for real it's something in him this is a great signer
+hille422 oh god what have I just read!? -_- more emotion than Buckley's version!? Are you drunk!? This is an incredible version but buckley's is (in my opinion) the best performance of any song of all time. The emotion, the composition, the transition from the original. He made the song sound like he wrote it. No-one can top his cover
I follow this awesome artist on FB and he has performed 2 mini concerts from his house the past 3 days and after seeing those mini concerts, I got Krajcik fever all over again. And yes, he should have won!!
I came here from the Pentatonix version and I thought to myself how awesome would it be if Josh sang this song and sure enough he has his own version. I AM SO FREAKIN HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!
He can sing ANYTHING and make it amazing, he can play the piano amazingly and then he can rock out on lead guitar ... Simon and his bunch need their careers ended for not making this man the mega star he deserves to be. 2017 and WE don't forget !
It is 100% the best version of this song. So much so I’ve talked about it and shared it for 10 years . Masterpiece. I don’t know how that first judge had anything negative to say about this. It’s absolutely incredible
Best pure singer I've ever heard on a Singing competition, and one of the best voices I've ever heard for that matter. He can sing anything. Dude's singing is what we all should want to hear when we listen to music.
Dear Rhonda, Thank you this song and performance is so heartfelt!! Bless You sister, I can't to wait to meet you and Kina, you seem so neat. Love Lauren
Josh nailed this and At Last. K.d.Lang sings the most beautiful rendition of crying , the Roy Orbison song. And the other one she does well is The air That I Breathe, but for this song it's got to be Josh.
The thing that makes this song so special is it has to be sung with gentleness and strength and honesty, which is who Josh is as a performer and likely as a person. I don’t think this song has to be exciting, just those three things.
This is still the best version of hallelujah I've ever heard.
oh ya nothing more need be said
Josh is the man…. Chills your bones
I saw this guy perform in front of 11 people!! Blessed I am
Jeff Buckley’s version clears this
@@jordansmith8920 listen to Javier colon sing it
My favorite contestant on any show EVER !! Still listening Josh. You ARE AMAZING
Lacked excitement?? It's a HYMN! Solemn and reverent. Beautifully from the heart.
Right? Like what was missing? Did you want fireworks and back up dancers?
That judge is a fool.
😂😂😂 You know that's a song about having sex right?
He should have won and should be a big star. His talent is amazing
My parents are good friends with josh, he’s preformed a lot in Ohio, always not cocky or mad at the fact that he didn’t win. He preformed at my uncle’s wedding and was as good here. He is truly one of the best people I’ve met and is a very humble man. He’s always open for conversation about any topic, and is always a great man. Krajick is one of my favorites and a great friend.
Wonder if he's available for hire to sing at my wedding 🤔 would be incredible! #OneCanDream
No dudes
Yeah he’s a super nice guy . I manage his mom and step fathers pond
Remember him at Seattle’s coffee shop when 11 people were there.
You lucky bastard😊😉 i am jealous on ya
Even 11 years later, I play this almost weekly. I've listened to it everyday for weeks this past time lol it's just an amazing song with an amazing voice. I'm working on my own rendition now, I would love to collab one day with this man
Best rendition of hallelujah ever!
This is one of the most beautiful performances of ANY song EVER!!! I watched this entire season of x factor and when Josh didn't win I never watched another singing competition show ever. Melanie amaro was a great singer but there's hundreds of singers that sound like her. No one sounds like josh. Every song he performs he makes sound original and he puts every ounce of himself in them. He is absolutely amazing as an artist and singer!!!
His voice, oh my his voice! I have purchased so many of his songs.
It’s now 2023 and I’ll never forget this performance one of the best covers I’ve ever heard and still think of daily ❤
Spinning the words and turning this song into yours was fkn genius!!!!
i come back to this performance every time i need a little hope in my life -- my favorite cover of hallelujah
I stopped watching the X factor after he lost and in my opinion was one of the biggest mistakes the show has ever done was not letting this man win this man deserves way more recognition than what he got
Me too!!
Me too
Still come back here in 2021 😎😅
Josh killed this song!
I came across this song in high school, and even now, I am still coming back to listen to this masterpiece
All these years later, I still come back here. I remember this night, vividly. This is when you became one of my most loved singers. Everything you put into that song was unreal. Extremely well done 👍
Right? I can't remember who won but I remember this guy
My Goodness!!!!!!!!! What????? He can make any so g sound amazing!!!
One of the best male singers on the scene in the last 20 years. I don't understand why he isn't a household name.
deezynar he is in his hometown at least
Cuz he chose not to go thru what it costs to be in the bidness
Unfortunately the template to be a famous singer now is to be young, beautiful, trendy, and cool. Unfortunately, music nowadays lack passion, rawness and soul.
@@ry-breadytofail can confirm. Haha
He didn’t want to bow down to the powers that be
I remember me and my dad enjoying the show and he was our favorite ❤️
2022 and i still come to listen to this absolute GEM
One the best versions I've ever heard of this beautiful song.
My favorite version of this song. His voice is absolutely amazing, very pure, rich and touching. He should have won ❤️
I love Josh always
In the shadowed valley, I lift my song,
Praises to the Father, to the Lord Jehovah,
With faith in my heart, in a voice so strong,
To You, Creator, my soul cries out.
David raised his psalm in desperation,
Surrounded by enemies, in anguish and pain,
But found in You, a sincere refuge,
In Your name, Jehovah, source of love.
Hallelujah, a cry from the deepest being,
In green pastures, in dark nights,
For even in trials, I can see,
Your light guiding, in such hard nights.
Eternal protection, faithful shield,
You deliver us from the sword, from ruthless hands,
In Your embrace, Father, I find the honey,
Of Your promises, so wonderful.
Praised be, God of the Universe,
Father of Jesus, in infinite grace,
In each psalm, an immersed praise,
In Your greatness, my soul finds its place.
Hallelujah, to the King, Creator of the sky,
Your deeds, Lord, shall be eternal,
In Your love, my heart is bound,
Forever I praise You, in adoration.
Thus, David sang, thus I sing,
In a chorus of faith, in honor and glory,
Jehovah, supreme Father, in Your cloak,
Rests my life, Your eternal story.

This song HAS to be sung like it's being pulled from your gut. Josh does this. Anyone who sings this like a gospel song is totally missing the point.
Jeff Buckley’s version >
LA is just crazy ... this has been done so many times that it really takes a killer performance for my mouth to drop open anymore and Krajcik just blew me away again ... I'd forgotten how stunning this performance was.
The first time a see in tv. I never forget his voice and name.. always in my mind whit this amazing talent
Josh Krajick amazing
10 years later and I still can't stop thinking about this performance. No other rendition compares to this. The best
Best cover on youtube!
I remember my whole school, the school he graduated from, rooting for him to win, and honestly😍😭
Still brilliant. I wish we had a recording of him singing the entire song. 2021 and still AMAZING!
best performance ever
Josh, thanks for gracing this world with your presence. you are a great singer.
Joshの歌声、心を揺さぶられる歌声、忘れられず思い出します。私の中では彼こそwinnerです。
Wow his voice was pure light, just floated up and covered the leaves and just rested there.
It’s a Broken Hallelujah, sometimes, IT’LL COST YOU, but Hallelujah anyhow ‼️
This hallelujah right here 0:52 holds so much emotion for me. There is so much tenderness and loneliness put into that one word. And some idiot had to ruin it by screaming right after that beautiful tender note.
Exactly
I've must of heard over 90 different people sing this song from the original signer to even Bon Jovi and Josh Krajcik still signs it better then any one I'v heard period when he signs he gets under my skin for real it's something in him this is a great signer
agreed
I'm guessing you haven't heard jeff buckley's version??? If you have, then clean your ears out
+Jake Dowen I have heard Buckley's, this guy sings it with more soul
+hille422 oh god what have I just read!?
-_- more emotion than Buckley's version!? Are you drunk!? This is an incredible version but buckley's is (in my opinion) the best performance of any song of all time. The emotion, the composition, the transition from the original. He made the song sound like he wrote it. No-one can top his cover
+Jake Dowen no, I'm not drunk, difference of opinion
I never tire of listening to him..... then and now.... a beautiful beautiful voice....
man gave me the chills
My teacher was his aunt 🤣 it was great on the days he preformed cuz next day all we did was watch the videos lol
Josh should have won. He has the heart in his voice to spin souls.
I follow this awesome artist on FB and he has performed 2 mini concerts from his house the past 3 days and after seeing those mini concerts, I got Krajcik fever all over again. And yes, he should have won!!
His voice is ... Just wow! Beautiful
I love Josh. Sounds very original.
Top 1 version of this song. NoONE sings it better
This is all I needed having been through 2020 and now in 2021
What to say, your raspy voice is just top of it all... ❤

Wow wow wow 😮 so much talent!!!

Perfection
Beautiful sweet man! Wow
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
I will never be not mad at the fact he didn't win.
littleangel12344 , me too!! He is a class act.
Senpai Almighty don't worry this man is going to make it in the music industry without a doubt!
I bet most people can’t even name the person who actually did win without Googling it.
Dear Rhonda, Thank you this song and performance is so heartfelt!! Bless You sister, I can't to wait to meet you and Kina, you seem so neat. Love Lauren
Doesnt get any better then this.....♥️♥️💋
Nao me canso de ver de novo!!!
Fantástico.
🙏🙏🙏
Josh nailed this and At Last. K.d.Lang sings the most beautiful rendition of crying , the Roy Orbison song. And the other one she does well is The air That I Breathe, but for this song it's got to be Josh.
I just got goosebumps. 😍
Mr. Josh krajcik can we please get a full track to buy and listen too? My money is waiting that's how good this is!
2018 and i still come back to this
He should do the whole song
Beautiful rendition Josh! 😊
Amazing
Omg his voice goes right threw me.💋🤷♀️
I love you Josh 💕
This and Mennel from xfactor France are definitely the best versions of this great song.
he's just the best!
magnifique.
Stupenda versione
Maybe one day people will notice that this is the best performance of this song ever done. Even better than Cohen himself.
I bet Chris Stapleton wishes he sounded this good.
The thing that makes this song so special is it has to be sung with gentleness and strength and honesty, which is who Josh is as a performer and likely as a person. I don’t think this song has to be exciting, just those three things.
이거 내가 어릴때봤지만 내 인생 최고의 할렐루야 곡인듯
great
excellent
