AIBU but what in God's name was Damien Rice thinking giving Cannonball to X Factor?

First time starting a thread, but very upset.....

"The whole thing is marketed as disposable happy pop and then they choose songs which need a sort of levity to work as songs."

I hope you mean gravity... ;-)

If so then I agree. That's why Hallelujah was such a wierd choice for AB - it is catergorically NOT a happy song, not that set of lyrics anyway (there are several versions recorded by Cohen!). So to have her singing it as an inspirational ballad was just wierd...

sorry late night posting after football and beer seriously messes with my vocabulary.
