Josh Krajcik - Hallelujah - X Factor Semifinal Round 2

[1954imeleon]

just lovely!, sweet!, and fantastic voice!!!

[Twaits332]

Out of everyone in this competition, he deserves this the most. Chris will be famous with or without the win, but Josh deserves the recognition and the validation that his 15 years of hard work and a lifelong passion for music has paid off.

[jessyalp]

Awesome!

He is my favorite.  He is an angel!

[nathaliacf2666]

Nossa arrepiei! Povo do EUA votem nesse cara pra ganhar ... porque no Brasil não tem como votar! Rsss!

[alexis2power]

LA REID TERRIBLE JUDGE WHO CANNOT SEE TALENT

[jccbm]

0:04 OMG JOSH SUCKS...

0:07 - 2:18 OMG JOSH IS GOD...

[HappyDago]

Josh and Melanie in the finals !!!! L.A. RUDE HAS NO PRINCIPLES !!!!!

[njspecz]

Dumbass of the week goes to LA Reid.

[mariasegap22]

I'm sure Simon didn't make a standing ovation because that would be playing against Melanie which is his player... BUT he looked very worried when Josh finished singing and could not give a bad opinion because he would have looked like a fool and a lier! We all know what we heard! Josh was amazing! Like always but in this particular song... there was no way Simon could have said different. L.A. OBVIOUS he has to contestants still in the game!

[jjrickroller]

I love Jeff Buckley's version of this song, but I've got to say, when Josh was done, I wanted to hear him start over and sing the whole song, it was that good !

[mariasegap22]

What a way to finish the song! He's just the best! What a voice and way to connect! He needs to win. He should win! VOTE PEOPLE VOTE! By the way I was able to vote around 20 minutes after the 2 hours were over.... hope those votes will count.

[MsDominic20]

Fuck LA Reid he doesn't know any talent at all! This was one of the best rendition of hallejulah I have ever heard. He will win the show!!

[mariasegap22]

this video sound it's not the best, but JOSH was amazing! What a way to sing! He has such power and such way to make it gentle and sweet! WOW! VOTE people from the WEST COAST.

[gaarasuri]

I voted for him all 50 times on the x-factor site. wish I had that darn droid phone to vote for him some more, but i'm not rich. lol. I love Josh, he is the best! <3

[nancesparkles]

Josh must definetely include this in his first album!!!! He gave me the chills!!!

[Udiel]

he needs to win, he has one of the top five best voices ive ever heard

[dralijradi]

Josh, you are a winner in my eyes. Your voice is a treasure. I truly hope you win. I live in Canada and wish I can vote (damn it!!!!).

[GodWeenKatie311]

That's that one stop panty drop

[Jesterz01]

Only those who have known real love and felt its pain can break an halleluja like that... And of those, very few can make this pain resonate through their vocal chords and touch the soul of the audience.

Josh is one of those very few who can.

Now if i could hear him sing Here comes the flood by Peter Gabriel, i could die happy! ;o)

[BrWoLfGiRl7lolz]

i love how this video already has 311 views and it came out tonight just an hour ago

[emocrazedchick]

Josh should win, he's been amazing every single week :) -3

[njspecz]

How the helllll did LA Reid build a music business when pure talent is sitting right in front of his face and he just dismisses it completely? What a fucking loser. HES the reason music is shitty right now.

[jazzy19001]

@njspecz LaReid was right - this was not great. I had to go to listen to the KD Lang - Juno Awards in Winnipeg version of this song - just to get this version out of my head.. - because I love this song so much and he did not do it justice - fell flat..

[taksiarz]

true performer, Im sick of these young jumping idiots !!! this guy is worth of every penny off of this few millions !!! GO JOSH !!!

[jazzy19001]

Search for KD Lang singing this song.. This song will never be sung like that again - it is the definitive version. This version is ok. I wish Josh would take more risks with his talent. It would be good if he would sing one of his original songs.

[crawfish999]

This is your winner. I am in the business. I know. Do you?

[sumthing2talkabout09]

VOTE VOTE VOTE for JOSH!!!

[sumthing2talkabout09]

LA RUDE!!!

[rowaj12]

The audio here is terrible, bur I heard an original. Go Josh, you are amazing.

[sumthing2talkabout09]

@rowaj12 i know!! Guess i'll have to wait until midnight est for Xfactor to upload the video.

[AshleyBilliu412]

Please recognize talent when you see it!! He has the X Factor!!! VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!

[nndv28]

gooooo Joshhh!!!! I hope you make it to the Final!!!!!

[Tkjawa]

Simon at 2:10: "fuck!! another great performance by Josh, there goes Melanie's chance"

[BrWoLfGiRl7lolz]

@Tkjawa hey, Melanie could whoop him in her sleep. NO offence, Josh is great but still.....

[njspecz]

@BrWoLfGiRl7lolz LOL no she couldnt. Josh can cover so many more ranges and types of music. She sings songs without putting any originality into them.

[gaarasuri]

@BrWoLfGiRl7lolz Melanie is an awesome singer but for some reason tonight she came of as feeling a little fake. Normally I do love her as well though. I want Melanie and Josh in the finals.

[mariasegap22]

@Tkjawa FUNNY BUT TRUE! I noticed it while the show, he made that face like he had just licked a soap bar! I bet that is exactly what he was thinking! Last 2 weeks he gave Josh some UNFAIR feed backs based on dancers and "song choice" which I thought it was better than the Rihanna original etc... BUT this time no way he could have say something was wrong!

[janis1124]

He will be legendary

[poochy1923]

the best song and the best vocalist in history, Josh!!

[stickerdeep]

Josh is the Xfactor!

[peachhyyy]

PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM, HE'S AMAZING. The best vocalist there. His voice manages to gives me chills every time. If we don't vote he can't get through. VOTE VOTE VOTE.

[kangabitt]

He is, but your sound sucks!

[0AeraCura0]

Damn... This song gave me chills when I heard him sing it earlier... Can't wait til the actual recording of it gets posted on here.

[njspecz]

Jesus christ this is incredible. What the fuck is up with LA.

[veronika383]

he's absolutely incredible. this just brings me to tears. I really hope he wins.

[Poyrazs]

One of the greatest singers ever. Please vote for him. He deserves to win.

[diamondlucidity]

God will surely bless Josh for this beautiful song. Brought tears to my eyes. He sang this from his heart.

[Slpersad1]

it's definitely between Josh and Melanie...They are both amazing performers. But, Josh definitely killed this song! Great Job!

[Tkjawa]

Simply amazing and different...wow..just wow

[cuchousa]

he´s just the best ever

[xazeev]

vote for him, he deserves to win. It's about talent not about how much life difficulty you been through stop voting for Chris!!!!!!!

[RDLguy]

@xazeev We're not voting for chris because of his life, we're voting for him because he has the best potential of being a superstar artist. Im not dissing Josh, hes amazing and definitelty my second fav, but no one is going to be as famous as chris, even if he doesnt win.

[surfer53]

@RDLguy Maybe. If ex-drugged out pretty boys are the cup of tea for 11-15 year old girls, he's got a career. He's got the bad boy factor and Josh just seems too nice. Nice isn't sexy.

[xazeev]

@RDLguy trust me you are. Re think everything over and watch the episodes over and you'll realize that chris's story is what really made you fall in love with him

[RDLguy]

@xazeev how bout you go listen to "Young Homie" and tell me that isn't pure talent

[njspecz]

@RDLguy Respect your opinion, but I really don't think Chris will be a superstar artist. People are high on him now, but I think Josh has the possibility for an INCREDIBLE carreer. No limits on that dude.

[RDLguy]

@njspecz I agree that Josh is going to have a great Career, in a certain category. But I believe Chris' talent can get him in the top 10 on itunes, since his type of music is really popular these days

[njspecz]

@RDLguy Eh, I don't think thats true in the slightest. A ton of kids see Chris Rene for who he truly is; just not on par with everyone else. He was completely off-key 3/4 of the second song (didnt watch the first so idk about that). He's lucky he had background singers, but the winner of the show shouldn't need those. Auto-tune is going to be his best friend, and I think that's really sad if people want a guy who needs auto tune to win.

[RDLguy]

@njspecz think about the most popular artists today. Can any of them really sing? Do people buy concert tickets for the voice? It's all about the style and originality. Both chris and Josh have that, so they are both great. But in my opinion Chris is the winner

[jazzy19001]

@RDLguy I think you are right. There are plenty of great singers out there that just have a "cult" following and don't sell millions of albums.

[njspecz]

@RDLguy Exactly, but I those are the same people who burn out and are never heard from again after one shitty tour. People like him because he's cute and all they have to do is text a number. I'm willing to bet those people won't take the effort of paying a shit ton of money to a see a guy who isn't that talented. But hey, our opinions can differ. Northing wrong with that. We'll find out tommorow I guess haha

[RDLguy]

@njspecz haha yea, i think hes really talented but thts my opinion. And whatever happens we'll find out in the long run, who gets popular, haha

[sapphiregolden22]

@xazeev If that's the case than Dexter would be the winner lol but yeah that's true! Everyone has shit they go through, Chris Rene is just more vocal about it.
