Well, I heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord.
it goes like this
the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall, the major lift.
Leonard Cohen // Hallelujah
For silvercobwebs - more "Hallelujah" covers!
Cohen's is... meh. I still can't get past his voice, though the gospel chorus hallelujah's are lovely. Bono's is crapshite. Most of the others are okay. Buckley's is BEST.
zip1: Allison Crowe, Ari Hest, Arooj Aftab, Bob Dylan, Bono, Brandi Carlisle, Chamber Choir, Claire Bowditch, Damien Rice (w/ "Cannonball"), Damien Rice (Henry Ford Theatre), Elisa, Erik Flaa, Gavin DeGraw, Imogen Heap.
zip2: Jack Lukeman, Jeff Buckley, John Cale, Kathryn Williams, k.d. lang, Kendra Kelsey, K's Choice, Regina Spektor, Rufus Wainwright, Susanna & The Magical Orchestra, Sweethurts, The Dresden Dolls, The Tea Party, Tony Lucca.

01. Post a list of 20 fandoms.
02. Have your friends list guess your fave character from each fandom.
03. When guessed, bold the fandom, put in brackets who got it and sentence why you like the character/person.
01. Heroes | I cheat. There's no one I absolutely LOVE, but I have have three I realy like. Mohinder (mrsjadephoenix) because I have a thing for smart young professor-types and because I'm all whoo! Indian on TV! AWESOME! Hiro (ozeterrier) because despite making me cringe at times, it's Hiro. And [?]
02. House MD | Wilson (clearly everybody). As of RIGHT NOW Wilson is my favourite TV character period.
03. Buffy | Again I cheat. You know when there's one character that you love so much that they're not even a "favourite" but more on their own special pedestal and so don't count as a favourite even though they technically are? Well, that's Buffy (everyone, again). C'mon, oldest line ever, it's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, after all. However, second favourite is [?]
04. CSI | Buffy? Also applies to Grissom (silvercobwebs). Second favourite is Greg (chibirhm), while my dirty-little-favourite is [?].
05. CSI: New York | Stella I did my best, it wasn't much for she is kick-ass. But it's often a tie with [???]
06. Veronica Mars | Keith Mars (mrsjadephoenix) and [?]. I've still only seen the first five episodes.
07. Roswell | [?]
08. Stargate SG1 | I'm more a watch-it-if-it's-on fan. [?] really does it for me. Rawr.
09. Firefly | I love how everyone guessed differently. Again, I have a few that rotate in my affections: Wash (ozeterrier), because I do love a comic (and I'm pre-emtively gutted even though I haven't watched Serenity yet), but he's evenly matched with Inara (mrsjadephoenix) and [?].
10. Everwood | [?]. (I've seen three random episodes.)
11. Studio 60 | Up until the past couple of episodes Danny (2005_babygirl) was my favourite, but he's turned a bit creepy so I'm waiting to see how that plays out. Plus, doing this meme actually made me realise that I love [?]
12. The West Wing | Sam (chibirhm and EVERYONE ELSE). I don't even know why I love Sam. I just do. I loved him since I started reading TWW fic, which was about a year-ish before I actually got around to watch it. He's all intellectual and stuff.
13. Star Trek: TNG | Until silvercobwebs guessed it I hadn't even thought about Q. I don;t know why not, 'cause Q IS AWESOME. So she's right, even though he doesn't count seeing as he's been on Voy/DS9/TNG. 2005_babygirl is right about Picard, but he fits into the same category as Buffy and Grissom. Also, if I haven't made it clear before, I adore Patrick Stewart. And I cheat (YET AGAIN) because I don't have a particular favourite after Picard. Rotations again: Wesley Crusher (highly unpopular character, and slightly embarrassing to me), Riker (hot), Troi (hot) [all three guessed by silvercobwebs], [?].
14. Star Trek: Voyager | Janeway (silvercobwebs). Um, because Kate Mulgrew's voice is very nice? None of the other characters really clicked for me. Not even Chakotay (sorry, Alice. I do love him, but...). Oh wait, except the Doctor. Damn.
15. Lord of the Rings (film) | Faramir (mrsjadephoenix) and Merry&Pippin (ozeterrier) are my seconds after [?]
16. Supernatural | Dean (ozeterrier), more be default and what I've read across fandom/fic-wise than anything else. (I've seen the first three episodes! Go me!) Sam is way too emo for me.
17. Law & Order: SVU | Olivia (chibirhm) is my second favourite, sometimes first pre-mid-s6, but after that it's Munch (55170054). [?] is definitely the overall favourite, though.
18. ER | It USED to be Abby (silvercobwebs), but like I said, doing this meme's caused me to re-evaluate things. Overall it's [?], but [?]'s my current favourite.
19. Harry Potter | Remus (nearly everyone). Oh, Remus. The chocolate and the bookishness and the the one left behind and oh. Love.
20. Without A Trace | Vivian's (gossy16) my constant character-I-like, or character-I'm-never-annoyed-with (but not in a dull, middling sorta way). Danny (chibirhm) was my utmost favourite for the longest time (he has sekrit!pain and he's delicious[ly funny]), but I think it's [?]'s turn as focus of my affections.
I feel stupid today. (This week, this month...) Dull and cloudy. Bah.
