Vote Eoghan, if the rumours are true and he is singing alongside Boyzone hes seriously up against it! ;)

I know what you're saying Will, and believe me I'm not a "real" music person (I'm listening to Billy Joel's greatest hits on repeat in the car these days).  I just think that should Eoghan Quigg win, his style of voice wouldn't do the song much justice.  Same for JLS. 

I actually prefer Rufus Wainwright's version but don't tell anyone.

Listened all 4 versions again there - little to be on a Saturday afternoon (Cohen, Buckley, Wainwright and the one in Shrek).

Have to say I agree with Rois, I prefer Wainwright's version. Think both his and Buckley's are better than Cohen's original to be honest.
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead

Doesn't matter a shite whose version you prefer. The lyrics and the sentiment are Cohen's.

JLS version was the worse ive ever heard, Alex does a nice number on it!

Thought the Alex version was excellent it certainly didn't commit sacrilege imho

I make so much tips off this song, it's kinda surreal. I'd post up a you tube link but there's too many cut throat critics on here!!
