Stepping back

On the recent American Idol episode, Jason Castro performed 'Hallelujah', a song by Leonard Cohen but made popular by Jeff Buckley. No doubt, it can't be compared to the Buckley version, but he did a commendable job and actually revive major interest in the song. The reigning power of American Idol (and some said that it was slowing down). As I write this, the song is no.1 on the US iTunes Store. Not bad for a 13-year old non-mainstream song, beating the likes of Usher, Jordin Sparks and the current hot songs. The video below is Jason Castro's take on 'Hallelujah'.
