Amanda Jenssen - Hallelujah (Idol 2007) 

i loved her performance, so much, she's a good performer, with her whole soul

She is constantly out of tune... specially all the end of phrases. The final note is almost a semitone down... it hurts!

Ignacio Parres maybe u mad because your country is so terrible

socca blau

Ignacio Parres Agree ... Ouch ...

me too!

Her Elvis covers, crazy.

@@t.almwood3010 absolutely agree.. she should do a whole Elvis album...

+danzoeee Not THAT mind boggling, considering how dull, monotonous and rehearsed this performance is. She's no great singer or anything.

+danzoeee She sings Beautifully. Unfortunately, some people resent other people's success. Jealousy is the word.

+Sean Commins you can't be serious, this is by far the worst and most boring version I have heard of this song. and no, its not jealousy, I just find other ppls versions MUCH better.

+Bluesbr0ther You must be deaf.

+Johan Björk Or i'm just not biased like you my dear swede. Her voice is a bit shaky, she displays almost no emotion compared to other singers of this particular song and for me that's a big mistake, this song is supposed to be very emotionel. In most good videos on youtube there are around 15-20 times as many likes as there are dislikes, in this there is almost as many dislikes as likes, does that really not tell you anything about the performance. Don't get me wrong, i think she have a fairly good voice, a bit shaky at times but still fine, the lack of passion is the main problem for me in this song. So i stand by my previous post, this is by far the most boring version i have heard of this song.

Solldema Baden lol, are you new to the internet?

I like Hannah Barrett's version personally, but this is just as good if not better; She shows true emotion, beautiful

I’m back

Same here glad too see someone else 😁🙏

ahahahahahahhahaahah

11elias118 :(

It's a song written and preformed in english, an universal language!

hahaha u made my day

I suppose you have not heard about countless countries and people outside of Sweden?

WWW. stands for World Wide Web my friend.

+Jesse Pinkman like* if* you* cry* evrytime* nice try :)

+Sirre50 Everytime* better luck next time.

Anton Björklund I now that. I just failed

Sirre50 Know* You failed again!

Because this rendition - while probably well-meant - is an atrocity. What little measure of talent she has should not be publicly wasted on things she can't handle. QED.

riddarhyttan You have not a clue what you're talking about

Göran Elmertoft There's some truth to that. I do know rather a lot about music, but I've only listened to anything else by Ms Jenssen in the last few days. She's a lot better than I gave her credit for, which makes it uncool of me to toss that accusation out there. The 'Idol' format kills me, though, and I strongly feel that it trivializes musical as well as artistic merit. All the more reason, thus, for me to leave the comment field alone and listen to her in a different setting. My bad entirely.

riddarhyttan You're right with the point that this version is legitimately really bad. Which is sad. I've just come across Amanda-- and really liked her, so thought her singing one of my favorite songs would be awwwwesome. It wasn't.

'Cause she sucks so fucking bad...maybe?

Nora Wernersson grejen är att det falska gör det speciellt

Susanne Rydvald Och Kurt Nilssen Samt den där prästen

Susanne Rydvald Och Jeff Buckley som för övrigt har gjort den bästa versionen.

för att det är dåligt. Hon sjunger så tyst i vissa delar av låten att man knappt kan urskilja orden - vilket resulterar till att det är ett dålig framträdande , att det inte håller... och juryn överdrev så att bena knappt bar dem....

Frida Lindström You’ve got to mean “Why so many likes”?’ She cannot sing! She’s out of pitch, unless they “fix it”, & she has a flat, boring tone with no strength, no resonance & no feeling. She shouldn’t have been picked by the Swedish Idol jury! They should’ve sent her home with the advice to either “try to learn to sing on pitch or choose another career”! I watched the whole season & not one time could she sing on pitch! She was always out of tune. Her audition was okay with That’s alright mama, because you don’t have to be a good singer for such an easy song & she only had to learn those few chords in that song - they’re not many. No thank you to Amanda Jensens so called “singing”! She was given a place & a chance that someone who can sing should’ve had!

Technically perfect if you understand what technique you need to make an astounding effect. You could say Picasso's Guernica is not technically perfect but it is because it redefines the necessary technique as Amanda does here.

TheFuzzyPenguin Yeah I don't care for Rufus Wainwright!

believe me i'm not, just saying what i think

You have no taste in good music

collector832 i never said I didn't like the song, I just don't like her voice

Oh ok lol

beesweet0224 I don't like the song, but I do like her voice.
