  • Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah performed by Michigan State's Accafellas in Shaw Hall.
    I am not a member of the Accafellas, I don't know any of them, and I am in no way related to anything they do. They were touring Michigan State's campus and I happened to be in Shaw Hall recording it.
    If anybody would like to contact them for any reason, here's a link to their site:

    I've literally been coming back to this cover for the past ten years. So glad it still exists.

    probably one of the best renditions i have ever heard. i have won numerous vocal scholarships, and yet i wish i possessed half of the lead singer's (and that of the backups for that matter) ability and finesse. a true artist.

    I love this version of an acapella cover of Hallelujah. First of all is because your verse choices were amazing, each singer was amazing, the guy beatboxing was stupendous, etc, etc. There are so many reasons why this appeals to many people. The way they sang it too is catchy yet solemn at the same time and their spin on it was just great.
    It's natural, fun, spontanious and well organized. Over all, perfect.

    I'm in a 5-men accapella group and we're currently trying to do this song. I really hope we can get it to a level compareable to yours. I heard many versions of Hallelujah, but this one got me. Excellent Work!

  • @123jumperoo
    @123jumperoo 16 лет назад +1

    Dorm room acoustics hard to duplicate which makes this performance most unique. I just went onto their Myspace account and found an amazing version of "you and I both" really spectacular.
