Susan Boyle, who will soon be lighting up Rockefeller Center with her angelic voice, is pretty much destined to repeat the success of her first solo album upon the release of her Christmas LP, The Gift (out November 9). The 10-song disc features several holiday classics, from “O Come All Ye Faithful” to “Auld Lang Syne,” as well as covers of a 80s rock-pop song and a Lou Reed track possibly about heroin use (that Lou Reed doesn’t particularly approve of). Best of all, Boyle performs a gorgeous rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” Listen below.

Where does SuBo’s take on Cohen’s classic stack up? Let us know in the comments!
