Same here.Jeff Buckley's version is my favourite
I played that for a friend at a wedding and his 4 yr old told me it wasnt the same singer. Had a look when I got home and found that it was John Cale who sang it in the movie, but Wainright got the soundtrack. I was most impressed with the 4 yr old.Rufus Wainright is the one i love, funny but i heard it first on the soundtrack of Shrek.
Although the John Cale performance of “Hallelujah” was used in the film Shrek (Two-Disc Special Edition), because of difficulties concerning Cale's contract with a competing record company, it was not possible to include it on the soundtrack album, Shrek - Music From the Original Motion Picture. Rufus Wainwright (son of Loudon) was therefore asked to record a version similar to the Cale, also using piano. This explains why one version is found in the film but another version on the soundtrack album.
