Good things and bad

[hils]

*says prayer of thanks to my muses* I now have copious notes on the entire plot of my mpreg fic so I can just crack on and write it *feels pleased*

And there is nothing better than waking up to amusing fic in your inbox ;)

Maybe it's just me but who write brutal non-con as their first fic? I saw it on one of the comms (and didn't read it) but the disclaimer just baffled me.

And if I hear Alexandra's version of Hallelujah one more time I might break something! I've got nothing against her. She was clearly the best singer on The X Factor but the song just doesn't suit her voice

Also, someone was telling me that Simon Cowell owns the rights to Hallelujah now so all of us who bought the Jeff Buckley version in protest were just lining Cowell's pockets even futher

*is annoyed*

Oh, I certainly wouldn't say it should only be sung by a white male. OMG, do people actually think that? *is scared of the human race sometimes*

I'm just not overly fond of it, although it might be partially down to the fact that Radio 2 seems to be playing it once an hour every day.

I wasn't being facetious in my question btw. I tend to skip over X Factor posts because I don't watch it. Saw a couple this year, but only enough to help me decide I wanted her to win

Hee, they're not really saying that, but I am inferring it because I've seen a lot of comments along the lines of: "She sings it with no feeling! The only good versions are Leonard Cohen's or Jeff Buckley's!" And I have made the executive decision that they are being either racist or sexist.

Hehe!! I think there's as much feeling in her version as there is in anyone elses, it's just the vocal style and the way the song has been arranged. I dunno, there's just something.

Fair enough, it's not going to be to everyone's taste. I actually like all three versions of the song now that I think about it.

I don't think I've ever actually heard the Leonard Cohen version
