Matt, that was a totally amazing performance and thankfuly we got to see it again on Sat 6th and this time in full without Simon cutting you off as he did here. Your voice is so full of emotion and nuances - you are truly gifted. The very best of luck in the massive global singing career you have ahead.
I love matts voice and his presence on stage, I dont know why they keep on to him about his confidence, he is just so believable and genuine when he is singing. Go on matt, please win the xfactor xxx Dol

i agree with simon, what the hell was that.. this is BOOT CAMP -and how many people were eliminated, ahd he got choose to go forward, and he came out with that ??? emm just makes no sense.. if u been given a chance to make it to the next round, tHEN BRING IT
hello everyone. i signed in in order to comment on this amazing video. What a person...what a voice.people in the crowd are amused, they coulg go on and on listening this man. Beautiful and pure voice. this version is better then all the versions i know:G.Michael, Celine Dion...etc etc.....just amazing.i saw this video more then 30 times in 2 days. Crowd is just speachless, they dont know if they must clap, or just listen, or stand up and clap harder. the look in everyone´s face ...love it.
@thesportsguy10 yea he seems to do high pitch voices very good even though this song wasnt originally sung high pitch. I think he would sing an MJ song very good. Maybe Liberian girl or something MJ sings a bit slower. :)
Its his vunerability combined with the most INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL voice!! I love all his totally natural movements like when hes saying 'your face' and almost touches his own face without even knowing hes doing it.You didnt notice him before Simon(but actually u did in the first audition!!) because he's not a pain in the ass like alot of the others. Saw him again tonight in Danni's house singing If I was a Boy. Not my fav song but AMAZING VOCALS !!!!
@bonniekerry I agree. I love his shy and vulnerable side and his voice is amazing!! I'd watched this a multitude of times and only just noticed him almost touching his face without being aware..I think he was so absorbed in his song!! He seems a genuine, humble, very talented man. I hope he has a lot of good things coming his way, he deserves it. Can't wait for his album and I hope that this song is on it. One of my all-time favourites, only difference is it's the best version I've ever heard!!
I am a 29 year old man. I have been beaten by life and I would like to consider myself immovable by music. However, this song completely made tears stream from my face. this is the 10th time I am watching this.
He may need to connect more to the audience by not closing his eyes but he shows the vulnerability of his sings with the tender and shaking hand gestures.
This is stunning. That voice range without the strain is brilliant. Matt get the album out ASAP. i will definitely buy 3 copies. would like toy hear you sing "Everybody hurts" by REM.
one word amazing i actually shed a tear listening to him Im sick of listening to people saying bad things about x factor when it gives people like Matt a chance hes the winner in my eyes an rather HOT HOT HOT aswell haha :)
SSSSSSSSSSSSSimply AAAAAAAAAAAAstounding this guy should win hands down,can't stop listening to it .Comes across as a really geniune person.Not like some of the premadonna's.
@nicom7810 Simon is threatened by Matt, because he is favouring Rebecca Ferguson and Gamu this year. Also his remarks about Matt's lack of confidence are misguided. Matt is relaxed and naturally humble - unlike Simon who revels in his own arrogance and self-belief. Simon believes he is the all-knowing, unchallenged God of talent-spotting. He should read the comments on Matt's youtube postings like these, and take on board what we, the public have to say.
This was fantastic, just wonderful. Like others are saying, it's goosebumps time and that really is the acid test. Can't wait to hear more. Song choice is brilliant again. Just loved it. And that final verse..oh my just blows you away.
OMG, he's so good, sent shivers down my arms and goosebumps on my neck. Anyone else think his voice would really suit Air Traffic's Shooting Star? I think he'd sound amazing with all the high notes and beautiful lyric
p.s. What no self confidence or self belief whatsoever is Simon talking about. Matt is very confident you can see that by watching his other videos but this way of stage presenca is who he is - very emotional singer and great performer - but not dancing as pop singers. But that doesn't mean he's not self confident, does it? I mean, judges should be professionals, they should now that or what?
Thank you. But I'm surprised he hasn't been noticed before, I mean Matt's audition was outstanding, how come they haven't notice him?? What kind of professionals are they? And now I'm afraid they force him to change into a pop singer, mooving all around and dancing as they always do with contestants. And Matt can not be good as a pop singer and I'm really afraid they're gonna ruin him.
This guy has got such a beautiful voice now I know what they mean when they talk about goosebumps, note perfect and very emotional this guy is a definate winner by all accounts
My type of guy, cute, vulnerable, angelic voice......Very clever picking girls songs, noone can say you sound like the orginal as you have put a different spin on it. Think you should stick to this plan, much more powerful when you sing them....REALLY. Very special. I am a big Thom Yorke fan, love that type of voice, and yours is sublime.
MATT. go for "This song goes out to the one i love" REM.. "Streets with no name" U2. and anything by Damien Rice... You can nil any song you want.. you are a finailist. well done mate...
Totally agree, wow what a truely amazing beautiful voice he has, sounds like an angel, (very different from all the conveyabelt musical manufacturered shite they we tend to get from these shows, my three favourite are Rebecca Ferguson, Gamu and Matt. Matt had a fantastic choice of song, so just because a woman sang it originally makes no difference, love to hear him sing Avril Lavignes "Im with you" track. Matt to win.
He is really a great singer ! Maybe he is not confident but this "no confidence" is even making him more cute and likable somehow. I would leave him as he is and wouldn't turn him to someone different, like all those singers out there.
@candymee1 Louis says, "its the biggist surprise of the night". Simple Simon says" I will tell you why you never noticed him before, because he has no self confidence", (which frankly in my opinion gives MATT CARDLE the X Factor!
Really moved by your stunning audition. We are all rooting for you in Halstead and wish you all the luck in the world. You deserve every success. Thought you were fantastic in Whispers a few weeks ago and thrilled you're doing so brilliantly.
OMG! I can't stop listening to your performance. It is very very touching, honest, and unforgettable. Wish you will go to the end of the competition! I can't wait to hear your voice again!
Hello, Matt! Wish you best of luck from Texas! This song is one of my favorite songs of all time. And the way you sang it just naturally brought emotion to my heart and tears to eyes. That was the best male version of that song! Please, please believe that you are talented. Yes, you can!
Greetings from New York. I really enjoy your performances...Matt you are great and sang this song beautifully. There are not too many singers that put so much soul in each word they sing. You definitely do that! I do believe that you have confidence to come out and singing with such vulnerability and sentiment. Well done!
Your voice í just unbelievably great, the way you sang the song made me cry :(, you're so adorable, please take care and keep on the good work !!! I hope you will win the whole competition.
Matt, that was a totally amazing performance and thankfuly we got to see it again on Sat 6th and this time in full without Simon cutting you off as he did here.
