Hallelujah - Pentatonix
I'm in love with Pentatonix's version of Hallelujah. Of course I love Jeff Buckley's version too, but five voices can do so much more than one. And they do! They remain true to the mood of the lyrics. They infuse it with a dirge-like quality that reminds me of Remember from Troy. But the arrangement is alive, and uplifting, and sounds like joy to sing. I can only imagine how much fun they must have had practicing and performing that arrangement. Ben Bram is a genius. Enough said.
