This point was discussed, for what it's worth. And alas, the vidders used the Rufus Wainwright version, too, which is not nearly hurty enough.
I'm not sure I could be sold on a Sheppard/Mckay vid to the song, but I prefer Jeff Buckley's version.
I have to admit, in my head, I've storyboarded for an Angel vid to the song. Not that I'm making vids.
I need to find more vids, at least move into more fandoms to see more vids. I've only seen one vid that used Iron and Wine.

Katie, thanks for the info. I'll have to see if she has it up.
There was someone talking about a vidding chat...tzikeh maybe? She made a poll to see which format people would prefer and then I didn't see anything else, I guess that got pushed to the side because of Vividcon.

Having met tzikeh at the con, I would love to sit in on a chat with her: she's sharp, funny, opinionated in good ways, and knows her shit.

I'm so so so disappointed that I couldn't go to Vividcon this year.

If I only had a brain...
I realize that covers of Leonard Cohen songs are generally better-sung, but I think Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is the best. So there.

Me too, Betsy. Course, I like the lyrics on, uh, whatever album of his that is I have better than the ones in the covers I've heard.
I will say my favorite vid of all time is the Firefly Out of Gas one to Hallelujah, but on the other hand it was really the first time I'd really paid attention to the song.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Oh, I like Cohen's Hallelujah too--not on Oh So Pretty grounds, but because, understandably, he gets it. Wainwright's just feels pretty to me. Buckley's is, if anything, prettier, but has a desolation about it that works very well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
John Cale's version is my fave.
