Joe McElderry - AMBITIONS (Acoustic)

[nomercy3000]

omg so sexy. dreamy wish he could sing to just me that lucky guy

[CamalzMedia]

I love this song, and this version is amazing. I love you Joe :) You're amazing. xx

[GigglingJester]

As much as I like Joe as a singer, he wouldn't be anywhere near as famous as he is without the backing musicians... in this case, the guitarist. As Dumas once wrote... "One for all, and all for one!" ... A.K.A.... teamwork.

[Michalenkaaa]

úžasný:-*!

[emmamclaren1995]

love JOE :) <3

[famemonster79]

That guitarist is pretty awesome! Love his style of playing :-)

[PintofGreenTea]

@famemonster79 No disrespect to the guitarist here as he is very good. However, very much looking forward to Joe's duet with the excellent Milos Karadaglic on his new album. I think it will be awesome.

[famemonster79]

@PintofGreenTea OMG! SERIOUSLY?! WOW! I'm soooo excited now you've told me that! That's gonna be AMAZING! Can't wait to hear that duet! Woo hoo!

[famemonster79]

Joe, Joe, Joe. What can I say...you are amazing! You have such a beautiful voice. Keep singing and don't listen to the negative. Stay true to your heart babe. xxx

[TheSwastika999]

joe was shit on by simon cowell,hes a good singer and i hate x factor!

[Ravewander]

Pop, now opera? Is there anything Joe can't sing? <3 I love your voice Joe and you are my favourite winner of the X Factor. Please thumb this up everyone, so this comment gets to the top.

[bboi222]

0:10 Say it, don't spray it.

[PintofGreenTea]

Well done Joe. Now out of the X Factor Machine with a new recording contract. Looking forward to hearing your new stuff. 

[mrjmarc13]

GAY!!!!!!!!

[GabrielMorcar]

WOOOOOWWW

[TTYmusic]

You would have done A LOT better if you relesed the acoustic version!

[kcupriest]

He has been blessed by god to sing to his world.

[prizelover]

this is amazing<3 x

[DorothyShelley]

just a great voice hewas definately the winner olly was jumping about too much for ky likinghow strange poorlittle joe hasnt done very well i thinkyouve got to be a verysrong person to be in this bussiness mythras90

[kanga66prso]

Great version, no overdubs or electronics here, just his pure talent!

[jalowitz]

He's so much better live than with the autotune from the album!

[Darkhadesify]

@jalowitz what Autotune? He does not need autotune

[jalowitz]

@Darkhadesify I agree. Some of what I've heard on the album sounds so overproduced that I like just the plain voice. Just him singing is far more enjoyable.

[garyoldman4me]

beautiful :)

[sherilim08]

is this his original song or a revival? just asking

[KirstySpencer1991]

@sherilim08 It's not his, it's a cover of Donkeyboy.

[scootfwm]

@sherilim08 he's doing a cover

[hogwarts94]

i actually prefer this to the other one :O i love it!!! <3

[ThePatrik19]

ME ENCANTA TU VOZ. DESDE CHILE. SIGO TUS CANCIONES. SALUDOS :)

[LinaMisun]

If I could sing like him.. Oh.. He is just fantastic.

[KennethVonBek]

Donkeyboys version is way better ...

[lily18tw]

he's amazing :)

[gemmmabo1]

i love him so much, wtfff<3<3<3<3

[tgre0226]

@MrAlveol Everyone has the right to their opinion on which version they like. I am glad you like Donkey Boy's version. Other people like Joe's version.

[ansizfulify]

such a beautiful voice... like it a lot ^^ way to go Joe

[Princessemi96]

Joe is amazing, better than olly could even dream of x

[vethop]

Donkeyboy FTW!

[Joe2010Fan]

TO ALL JOE FANS: JOE HAS NOT!!!!!!!!!! BEEN DROPPED

[somewhathilarious]

@Joe2010Fan Dropped from what????

[Joe2010Fan]

@somewhathilarious his record label which is SyCo

[somewhathilarious]

@Joe2010Fan Thanks for the answer

[Joe2010Fan]

In your face, to the people who said it was autotuned, this shows that joe does not need autotune at all

[martinbooth1977]

why the hell did they not release this version of the song what was put into the charts was utter rubbish to this

[daddymunk]

he havent been steeling anything.. i am a norwegian so i'm pissed becouse of the fact that he gets credit for this song... but every time this song is played on the radio donkyboy gets payd.... that way donkyboy earns more money on this than the originale song

[MrVannmelon]

DONKEYBOY

copycat.. you deserve NO credit for this whatsoever

[1992Sorcha1992]

@MrVannmelon People cover songs all the time you dickwad.

[MrVannmelon]

@1992Sorcha1992 Covers are okay, but it doesn't say anywhere that Donkeyboy made this, and it does not say he is making a cover. But it does say that you can buy hes "new" single and preorder his album...

And calling me dickwad, hiding behind your YouTube name won't make you any cooler. Come say that to my face. =)

[1992Sorcha1992]

@MrVannmelon I would say it to your face too. yeah because it is his new single? obviously..

[MrVannmelon]

@1992Sorcha1992 My point was he didnt give donkeyboy credit for it even though its their song..

[matthew1st]

@MrVannmelon he did actually mention that it in a few interviews

[nutsmania]

joe should release his singles as acoustic version, doesnt have to do them all but some of them

[Velned]

I can´t believe people thinks this is acoustic..... this is still edited.... just cause he´s next to an acoustic guitar... jejeje!!!!

[Hubz1988]

@Velned Well I have seen Joe sing Ambitions and Love the Way You Lie 3 times live and I can tell you he was definately singing with just a guitar which makes it an acoustic version imo. Joe is amazing live, he doesn't need editing, I have seen him sing live enough times to tell if something has been fiddled with, and this hasn't been.

[ChloJayParsnip]

Someone who can sing here!

see not like all the others whos voices are EDITED.

Joes just perfect.

[JoseAndRyan]

iloveyouSomuch.. Your litrally my life.. My room is full of you.. I cant live without you..

<3 <3 <3 -Suzy xx

[VOYAGER738]

Is é Joe grá sin iontach wud é a fheiceáil i gceolchoirm.

[MsBabydoll12345]

Plllleeeease release an acoustic album.. U are amazing... Soooo much better than the original.. You just have the most amazing voice.. I cant even speak when I hear your acoustic songs.. Just outstanding..

[nicole11850]

[jennakathryn90]

Proud to say your a geordie :) ;<3

[72katie]

[vivalajoexx]

[vivalajoexx]

ii llove joexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[od1do10]

He cant do wrong

[sub0414]

@SJAfan1996

OMG!!!!!!!

you lucky ...you!!!

[thekotturirum]

he has a freaky voice. and he stole the norwegian song. No where does it say "originally made a number one single for 13 weeks by Donkeyboy"  Ruined.

[glitterfly49]

*swoon*

[stachiano]

Hot.

[halfpintkim]

@halfpintkim joe you have voice that sounds great no matter what is put to you, as much as i love this version, i love your up tempo version best, but joe you have get a voice that was made for Ballard's, please record open arms no 1 for sure, i love the way you sang that on the x factor xxx

[marcsilcockfan1989]

@halfpintkim I totally agree. When he sang Open Arms on Xfactor... I just thought... that that'd be a no 1 for sure.

[halfpintkim]

@halfpintkim joe you have voice that sounds great no matter what is put to you, as much as i love this version, i love your up tempo version best, but joe you have get a voice that was made for Ballard's, please record open arms no 1 for sure, i love the way you sang that on the x factor xxx

[halfpintkim]

@halfpintkim joe you have a voice and face of an angel, xxxx

[beckiee1997]

yumm, JOE!

he is beautifull:')

the songs really good too!<3<3<3

[Giulie92ify]

I love him... He's so beatiful, and sing like an angel... =) <3

[babeautiful1]

amazing. he just looks so happy when he sings and this version is beautiful.

[babeautiful1]

amazing.

[abluehole]

this should be in the album!

[Ldeux]

i LOVE this. SO much.

[colliemarz]

:P xx

[klopshay2]

Love the acoustic version of this song. His voice is flawless :)

Love him.

[chakdeindiacricket]

I love you joe <3 <3 you're amazing <3

[WyeSun]

Beautiful!

*^_^*

[jchicky]

Firstly let me say, I love the original but this is much better, it shows off ure voice off more, you should have released this one

[PintofGreenTea]

Joe there are very few artists in the Charts who can do this. A stripped down version of their songs and sound like this. You win hands down. You have a beautiful instrument - keep it well tuned and we will listen.

[2011Brov]

@PintofGreenTea "A stripped down version of their songs..." !?

Do you really believe he wrote this genius song? It was written by a norwegian group called Donkeyboy.

This boy is nothing but a cover artist. Like all untalented modern artist using their smile more than their voices.

[xomandaa26xo]

@2011Brov Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, however the fans of Joe who enjoy his voice and singing would greatly appreciate it if you kept your negative words to yourself. Thank you.

[crystallic85]

@PintofGreenTea Love your comment! So true. Not many male artists who could sing this song acoustically like this, I think!!! He is the real deal!

[ThisHannahisCool]

<3 love you joe

[KidWithTheSpecsTV]

I hope Ambitions climbs. I bought my copy on itunes, such a shame it didn't chart in the top 5.

Just pre-ordered the album :)

[scullen08]

Wow...

[zerohumour]

JOE! I am sorry, posted bad comments, and they were not against you, just the whole X-factor thing.

THIS VERSION IS WONDERFUL!

and I can see the talent you have, forgive, and keep doing it- you can sing your heart out x

[zerohumour]

i take it back, he can sing, and this sounds beautiful... why the gayed-up eurovision for a single?

[MissStrawberryC]

Omg .. why are you so good lol x

i liked the acoustic version .. it was sweet :)

[shazwalks]

i think ive just fallen in love!

[pallelover]

his brand new single my ass. Donkeyboy wrote it for one year ago...

[hkwong72]

I am in AWE at how he can control his voice like this.. Somehow this stripped down version seems so much nicer.. the studio version feels a little Kylie... very interested to see what comes next...

[tgre0226]

@ximziie FYI I am not a child & you need 2 learn that not all people who support Joe are school children. I happen to be a great-grandmother You are not the only 1 that I replied to regarding their homophobic attitude.It is considered bullying & we have had enough people commit suicide over gay bullying.His sexual orientation has nothing to do with his music. How do you know if he knows me or not? Do us a favor & dont listen 2 anymore of his singing & you need to learn how to spell.

[TaiPrevail155]

@tgre0226 That was very brave of you and I totally agree, I live in an area where quite recently two teenage boys have committed suiside because they were bullied because of their sexuality. Being that way myself I have experienced it. This guy poking fun needs to get a grip, its 2010! there are gay people in this world and he needs to accept it or get over it. Just a word of advice to that idiot, if you dont like it, dont say anything. Nob :) xxxxxx

[aliciah10]

i love joe mcelderry so much

[tgre0226]

@clonderband Who cares. Donkeyboy even said he did the song justice and they appreciated the way he did the song. Everyone knows it is a cover and it was chosen by Joe to be his single. Donkeyboy even wished him best of luck to get to #1 which he should by next week.

[KerryMitchellx]

He has such an amazing voice!!x

[MsAssassin97]

i love you joe. i voted for you every week on x factor n i bought your cd the miniute it came out and i saw you on paul o grady. again..... i love you

[meloumacaloon]

My boy Joe. :)

[xddxluvsu]

joe , i voted for you on the x factor like 5 times :) i really love your voice annddd... ur hot lool! xxx. fuck the haters.

[Jennifer12389]

this version is amazing :) xx

[MissZaraDarragh]

Joe I really hope you see this message I just want to say i much I LOVE YOU ,YOUR JUST AMAZING!!! :D Ill keep watchin all of your videos x Good luck xx

[fairplay9449]

to be honest i like it better than the album version. the other ones too high pitched. this ones amazing :) congrats joe!

[AisGxx]

This is just further proof of what an incredible singer he is!

Woah..... not many performers nowadays can sing acoustic and sound so amazing!

Go Joe!!! :D

[iVampireRAWR]

fuck yes.

[cbamate12]

thiss version is loads better than studio version

[Mcelderryftw123]

Wow, total amazing

[jbperl]

this is way lot better than the studio version...i can hear Joe amazing voice and Ross you are incredible

[Eilidhbett]

i love this!

[153lovegirl]

he has kinda ruined his career...its to high and not suited to his voice:/

[ceitu8701]

amazingly good, this guy can sing anything!!! WOW!!!

[TweamGeordieJoe]

INCREDIBLE!

[saskia233]

I think this is better than the studio version. I really love his voice, it is so clear. Can't wait untill the whole album gets out!

[sfbull39]

Charmex 23..I agree. We hear the quality of his voice in this version which is somehow a bit lost in the BIG production. That said, it was a smart move to release an up tempo dance song first. I'm looking forward to hearing the whole album.

[1415isgreat]

LOVE YOU JOEEEE!!YOURE WELL FIT!

[xsingsthesorrow]

He really should have released this acoustic version instead. It's so good! and it's not as cheesy sounding as the original and will appeal to a wider audience.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL JOE ♥

[gemmmabo1]

hes is amazing!

[charmex23]

the acoustic version in my opinion is way better than the offical video, the tune is better!

[Rebelgirl991]

perfect! :D

[SkipperFlapper]

Well fit.

[TheJoBailey123]

@SkipperFlapper they both are well fit!

and i have one of them in my facebook friends:) it's Ross though, before any Joe fans get too excited!;)

BEAUTIFUL

[joefish2468]

@TheJoBailey123 ross is better than joe!

[joefish2468]

@TheJoBailey123 ross is better than joe!

[Gothicgizzmo]

Prefer the acoustic to the original.

[shannonloveshimx]

this is better then the original video 1:)

[mustardcar]

put this version on your album please <3

[cashboxkeys]

Where can I buy that jumper? Bought the single, love it.

[seperatedout]

I LOVE YOU JOE!

[Josiethescot]

JOE AND ROSS ...SUCH A COMBO;)

I'm a little bit in love with this... just keep coming back to it. Hope you get number one this week Joe ...should have done this as a B Side!!x

[branson47]

It's a cover!!!!!! Donkey Boy rock on!!!!! Joe! Please write you own songs and stop doing covers!!!

[TheJoBailey123]

@branson47 comments like that make no sense to me ...every song on every x factor winners album has always been effectively a cover, as they are never written by the performer. joe is a singer/performer (a good one!), not a songwriter! eh can't be expected to suddenly be able to write songs! The ones which aren't 'covers' will always be written by somebody else anyway (a professional songwriting team) ...so this is no different. Nothing wrong with it. .he doesn't claim to be a songwriter;)

[Tasnim16]

Wide Awake and Smile are amazing <3

[Mcelderryftw123]

@Tasnim16 hey buddy, how do you know? the album isnt out yet, im so looking forward for it tho, its gonna b amazin

[DalDalDal1994]

@Tasnim16 where did you find Wide awake and Smile? :) I HAVE to find it! Im a MAD fan!

[fontevraud]

@DalDalDal1994 TheExiledScouser has uploaded an album preview on youtube

[DalDalDal1994]

@fontevraud Thanks so much! :D

[iosltd]

Since the first time I saw you in your audition, I have to say something more and more true: You really have a lot of George Michael, and it's so good.

[boggled007]

Stunning! The song aint bad too ;)

[Taralovesjoe91]

this is like totally amazing.. xx

[dizzdazz666]

Got to admit it, this version is ten times better than the single version. Good job!

[Jovy1225]

*SCREAMS* JOE , you are awesome!

[janetbelfield]

We love Joe, but we adore Ross too! What great guitar x

[greatworld1979]

@janetbelfield that man..his name is ross? i hope that he would be good at somethingelse as well..hahaha..for example kissing or more .-)) so hot !

[sub0414]

@greatworld1979

:O



[MrTveit14]

[keiath4]

I love the new track and video but I have to say I love this acoustic version so much better as I loved 'Love the Way You Lie'. (hope this is on the new album) Your voice is pure and all it needs is a pure sound behind it!!

[ashomcxxx]

[mgossipgirl09]

[LittleLisaDavis1988]

I'M TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THIS. Love it! Please do more of these vids Joe and Ross!!!!

[Perpictures]

Joe!! :)

[strad63]

ewww

[TheJoBailey123]

Woah.. this is STUNNING. Exactly the sort of thing that suits Joe best in my opinion. Much more depth to this than the single version.. seems to mean more when he sings it somehow

He's so cute in this video too ...and so is Ross the guitarist, which is a bonus:) xx
