Despite the commotion about the Alexandra Burke version of Hallelujah, Natalia & Gabriel Rios recorded a new version of the Hallelujah-song for the 1212 – Help Haiti charity show on Belgian public and commercial TV stations (één & VTM)
With competition from Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Damien Rice and a lot of others, this version may not necessarily pass the test of time. (Nevertheless a strong performance by Gabriel Rios). But more importantly all profits will be donated to Haiti charity .
Buy the song to support Haiti (not yet available on itunes – 21- Jan 2010)
Hallelujah – Natalia & Gabriel Rios
Feel free to compare with:
Indeed well done by Gabriel Rios! Although personally more touched by cover of “Ain’t no shunshine when she’s gone” by Selah Sue and Ronny Mosuse during Haiti 1212 charity show…
