X-Factor 3: Finalists - That's What Friends Are For

[gaterotte]

are they singing the wrong lyrics on purpose?!

[GospelAccording2ME]

They should all be shot! For starters, none of them could find the pitch or melody. I'm also amazed that someone didn't actually force them to learn the words of the song! This performance was an insult to the composers and a bad reflection on the executive producers and creators of X-Factor.

[FortheHorde1546]

Ben could've been the next Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, or Bono for those that adore their music... Wtf did Leona do? She became another pop princess that fizzled out. I mean in the US she was big with Bleeding Love; then where'd she go? Syco should've taken a shot at Ben, they have enough princesses.

[Hieyna]

@FortheHorde1546 Leona proved herself worthy to win it and she has had #3 number ones in the UK. Whereas Mariah Carey has had #2 number ones in UK. You cannot say she didn't deserve it.

[loveangelbaby198]

@Hieyna but leona only had one big hit in the us mariah carey has had over a dozen

[conversemike]

To many of them cant sing the right tone huh?

[PuffinzThePrettyBoy]

i see why leona won this season..but ben is good as well

[FeedTheFarties99]

ben was defo the best leona too!

[lozzymagoo]

lmao forgot bout theez ppl

[BreakAwayAndSmile]

I can't remember half of them lol. Leona was unforgettable though.

[RsWilliamz5]

Thank god leona won it

[Theechosen1from1993]

what do you mean, are u tryin to say it would be a tragedy if someone else won it? i remember at the time ben was amazing and looking back on it he still is. he would have brought something different to the music industry, and would have won any other year.

[miggymoggs]

Crazy! Feels like yesterday I watched this on tele. I really liked Ben at the time. In fact, he should have been in the final with Leona, and had she not been in this one he would have walked it!

[sickspastic]

he's still gigging rather successfully and releasing records, although you probs already know that.

[wazzzupdude1]

i liked the ones at 01:22 and the guy after

[xtoffee92x]

i love leona she is so modest...... haha how did ray get to the final.

[kigger622]

haha this sucks so bad, but its because we're comparing it to the best.

Dionne Warrick, Whitney, Stevie, Elton (Luthers sick too) cant be compared to anyone in the muisc industry today and def not these amateurs

[B33thebest]

sciù..mammamia,pensavo k fosse ad 1 livello + alto..invece,hanno tt dei problemi,escluso nessuno..

[YngtchieMusic]

Who's that first guy? He can't seem to find the pitch...

Never mind, the whole thing blows. Crap song, out of tune singing.

[kankusho01]

per ki nn lo sapesse qst è il modo x rovinare una magnifica canzone cm qst...k skifo e pensare k prima d qst ho visto il video cn elthon john e il fantastico stevie wonder...

[fio1990]

it's awful!!!!!!!

[mtenor]

that ben is just so awful i cannot believe he got that far

[royalhabbo25]

Anyone else think the performance went downhill when leona and ray came on?

[mtenor]

if it could go downhill anymore that is

[sickspastic]

yes. Ben was the most talented amongst them.

[Shiv080]

Ashleys well cute.

he was the best :D

[Pietro697]

This is horrible. Whats is that?? The worrest constestant?

[komjamgiu]

bleah

[kessy4ever]

ke skifooo

[piggina94]

i think they sound off key is bacause they wan to be different from the original thats why you sing like this.

[piggina94]

i mean they not you

[LTKGS]

God that is shocking!

Thank God Leona won, she sounds better than all of the others!!

[gleedee96]

is it just me or did they sound um REALLY bad???!!!!!

[infernoxiiviixiivii]

eton road were horrible i bet they cheated to get in,it was so out of tune

[jaymejean28]

horrid

[M90DJF]

Ashley sounds stupid so does Eton Road and Ben. Robert tries to hard and sounds awful. Leona is the only good one

[cupcakeali]

Ray and Leona <3

[emilyjanesharman]

so out of tune! apart from leona.

[tony0379]

robert sounds amazing

[scouserbabesx]

i luvv thiss songg andd this x factor was my favouritee i luved ashley and nikkitta && robert ♥

[Jennielettin1989]

Eton Road was the best

[frazzler9]

they were off pitch

[DashTube1]

ben is awesome

[lizx0]

i love it at 2:17 how leona's voice just totally shines through :) she sounds so angelic.

x

[royalhabbo25]

The Macdonald Brothers are technically the most succesful act to exit x factor. They have released 3 albums and done an almost sell-out tour

WELL DONE GUYS

[DpDr13]

Journey South>Mcdonald Burger Kings..

[DpDr13]

AND ben didn't belong there. It was so fucked up, possy boy ray should of been 3'rd and BenvLeona for final..

[DpDr13]

BEN WAS FUCKING AMAZING.

[mtenor]

that boy band ??? wtf??? awful! so out of tune

[charleybarb]

eton road

[xboonx]

if leona sings this entire song by herself, i tink she would have shot the listeners to heaven

[casser26]

wow...ray sounded really bad cuz it wasn't in his usual key range..

[Invertedzero]

Leona, Ben, Robert were clearly teh best throughout the whole show, its a disgrace that ben wasn't in the final and that robert wasn't in the top 5

[nextjimmypage]

that black guy has an awesome voice

[Invertedzero]

HOw the HELL did the macdonald brothers get so far - they were TERRIBLE! i remember simon moaning about them each week

[casser26]

wut's his name again...i can't member?! i luv him <3

[xHiddenxx]

Eton Rd are out of tune.

Leona Lewis. <3

[Lennoe87]

The version from the danish x-factor is way better.. But this one's okay.

[nna0miii]

This song is the best.

[starpeem]

this was the best x factor ever!! Lena-superstar!! they were all individual, thats wot i liked bout them!! x

[michellerosenkrantz]

i will say that this is much better than the danish x factor.

and im a danish.

its sad.

[sanasana223]

Some guys are out of key but, totally great.

[Morten88889]

well, im danish. And I must say that the danish X-factor is so much a fake of the UK X-Factor.

And thats kind of sad!!!!

[whelshguy]

robert was the only one who sang in tune!

[xxprincesscheviixx]

whats the second singers name... ive forgotten?!?!

x

[GEMZIEE]

nikkita

[Spaderess]

leona and ray rocks!!!

[fansofwhitney]

Pretty bad.

Out of tune. Not on key. eek.

[DEFORNO1]

OMG SWEET FRIENDSHIP

[henningmichael]

lige til at lukke op og skide i. im from denmark :b

[carstenoglone]

i dont think thats so good

[Sianarae]

God, that was a load of ****. We do it way better in Denmark.

[BGrade15]

Piss off!

No-one likes Danish X-Factor apart from Danish people. This is the UK X-Factor, we're British mate!

[BGrade15]

UK actually started X-Factor, so you can't say we're that rubbish.

[sysserp]

watch the danish version- this sucks compare to x-factor dk.

[asmiley200]

Horrible, so out of tune. BAD BAD BAD!

[XpaayalX]

beautiful....wonderful....love­ it

[andrea90rugby]

bravo il ragazzino ......ma dovrebbe tagliarsi i capelli............leone è una stra figa e molto piombabile

[Jacklw25]

robert >>>>>>>>>>>

[dkdebest]

BEN SHOULD HAVEWON

[MrTickster]

Leona outshines them all they all suck apart from her

[topcat2324]

CHEESSYYYYY

[EmaLovesRay]

ray quinn <3

[javjamoll]

Sucks how it wasn't done this year again, they weren't evenn brought back except for Leons last song at the end.

[blu151]

I agree :(

[j2fono07]

Are these original lyrics or something? Or do they have them wrong? Cuz I know different ones.

[BobbySyGo]

They revised some of the lines in this version. I wondered that myself... like, "Were those the words when I was growing up...?" Then I watched the one with Luther, Whitney, Stevie, and Dionne... Check that one out!!!

[theshadowdirector]

Good if they did something like this in the final this year although I suppose Emily wouldn't be allowed back so it would only be the final 11.

[xwishaponastar1x]

omg this brings back so many memories.

:')

loved this!

ray quinn and eton road <3

will never forget ANY of these!

vote leon and s.d tonight

xxxx

[Cayoz1986]

2006 series was awesome. plus they found huge star LEONA LEWIS.

[starpeem]

aww 2006 year was so much better than this year!! i love eton road and leona 4lyf XX

[Invertedzero]

it was a shame robert went so early in the competition, him and ben stood out as the contenders to me. Ray was a good performer, but ben and robert were more vocally talented.

[freqrexy]

Man, this brings back good memories. :) It was a great final and great to see the finalists all come and perform together. I did kind of worry for Ashley and Eton Road though, but it brings back fantasic memories of Ben (who should have been in the final 2 anyway) and Robert (who should have done big things after the show was over; what the hell happened?) with their run in the show.

I dig you for hosting it :D

[grantoneill]

robert and bens entrances are amazing, i think anyone out of this lot would win this year, i think ben was better than ray tho

[XXElkaStoneXX]

yeah they were well good last year i loved bena and rob lol i loved sharrons acts for the last 2 years but this year her ats are shit well leon won anyway

[Kizaitfc]

Eton rd and the mc donald bros ruin dis song

[fuzzbuzz1994]

craig and brian were the best!

[023scrubs]

Nikkita = <3

[zoeluvsray]

Rayyy i loveeee u :D xxx your the best xxxx

[15hotel]

Didn't think much of ashley.

[vr310884]

:( This years lot are terrible compared to last year - Leona has set the league far too high for anyone else to compete .. shes just amazing!

[JonnotheHedgehog]

maybe but this year looks quite even

[00deano00]

Does ne1 else think ashley was awful???

[rovers13]

a group will win it this yr

[JustSusie94]

Leona Stands Out She Has An Amazing Voice

[JustSusie94]

I enjoyed Last Years Better Too. Better Contestants n There Was More Talent Last More n Different Personalities Which woz better

[JakAndDaxter5]

That year was SO much better than this years

[richieosborne89]

i dont know why but this performace as a whole is just weird! ben screaming the words because he was pissed about not being in the final. eton road and the random high pitch part! only Ashley, Nikitta and Robert sang it well. you couldn't really hear Leona or Ray. Anyway I love Leona and can't wait until her album comes out. Kate was right this was a 'special' performance! lmao.

[13tjs]

why did they change the words....argh!!!!

[Hoge0040]

this was awful as a whole. eek

[cammykfc85]

The original is superb, robert is quite good in this i thought though.

[starsheet]

TO GATHOBO!!!!!! gives me the bumpys too my friend! bought tickets to see ben in ipswich oct, but its been cancelled :( my faves were eton road tho!!!!!!!!!

[gatHOBO]

very good, give me goosebumbs!

[Bigpinkglasses]

just me or does ben clearly get the loudest cheer... fix no? x

[CobrasVenom]

he gets the loudest cheer cz apart from leona he was the best

[wonderlandgal]

omg i lurve this song!!! espically the macdonald bros!

[DarkenedPsycho]

Rays voice sticks out like a sore thumb.

[xoxgirliegirlmexox]

i think that is sooooo sweet!

[00deano00]

Ashleigh was awful here and for the whole show!! Mcdonald bros were jus plain boring!

[chloebo]

i love this

[halfcasthotmail]

Robert was awsome in this song eaton road very bad

[kyrie4brock1]

[JusThtGirlSabrina]

[20xkatiex07]

The best part of this video is RAY!! He was the best in the X FACTOR by far!

[dawniedope]

[geordiemassive]

eaton road are shit

[scottwaseya]

[ClaireDillon44]

omg i loveeeee eton rd :) XX

[geordiemassive]

eton road r not even good enough to be club singers

[LynseyHaich]

No, no, no. Ray = #1! He has the 'X-Factor' - Great voice, great dancer, great personality, AMAZING stage presence - and bloody hell have you seen him swing those hips? =)

[grainger39]

anthony from eaton road is as flat as an onion. a very flat onion.

[davidheath06]

eton road mmmmmmmm! great video!

[Ebaxterxo]

leona quite shite by the way ! shes certainaly not got the " x-factor " .. robert does .. his voice is amazing! .. and that girl from glasgow .. that sings second in this song .. shes very good!

[mariemarmouset]

leona has an amazing voice! see, shes going to release more c-d's unlike ray who is a tad unattractive. Robert was good. I think the ideal three finalists should have been robert, ben and obviously leona.

[grainger39]

you talk more sense than anyone else on this supid site, well done, i agree with you completely.

[xxhypohanxx]

I LOVE ROBERT he soooo shudda won i was gutted! leonas ok tho neva liked ray at all!

[JEEP2010]

I dont see how Ray even got on the show

[LovleyOne]

oh god this is shameful, thank god in heaven for Leona

[supermkz]

I'm shocked how 99% of these people made it to the final. Not one person shone here... Awful!

[SEXYGIRLFOREVER2000]

[GWaites]

Ray is so flat he could be something out of Ikea's warehouse

[zazbomb]

[XxxXlaurzXxxX]

Ray wa da best <3333333333333

[oliviaakaspazmoid]

i thought ray was quite out of tune singing that. It was good...when it stopped.

[Laura2k7]

Xenin56 i couldn't agree more, robert acts lyk a rite idiot on stage - he's alwayz showin off, thinkin he's so good! i was glad wen he went out! I was happy wiv da turnout of th final tho, wiv leona and ray, they're both brill singerz *ray's a rite cutie <3* lol dey all did well, but i wish nikita got further i lyked her :)

[Xenin56]

Ok what the hell is robert doing in this? I really like him but it's like eeeeeeasy no need to try and show off.

[lyannax]

i think ray n leona should have sang 'baby its cold outside' together on the final night! that would hav beenn amazing!!

[brownsugarno1]

lyannax ur so dum how could they sing together you dum ass there aganst each other!!! wat a fool!!!

[lyannax]

ye i kno but i just fort it would hav sounded good coz they hav the right voices 4 that song, thers no need 4 u to b like that it aint very nice

[Rhysydeesy]

I reckon that Ray and Leona have a little thing goin on!!!

[xXxJustAnuvaGirlxXx]

Yep i too think Ray & Leona have a special "" bond ""

[fozia0talib]

wow that was amazing and i think everyone is forgetting 4sure the most they had amazing voices and they didnt get a solo but mac doodle brothers did?

how does that work?

[BexaLov4tune]

this was boss, happy i saw all my faves do solos :]

[costateguise]

Excellent Video, all the final 12 were very good! And happy to see Leona win, she has got a very amazing voice.

[DarkPhoenixFighter]

The final 2 should have been Nikita and Eton Road. Not sure who would have won, i really like both.

[yrod21]

NIKITTA was AMAZING she should have gone all the way shes ace !  But Simon had the best group i thought. All my favourites were in his group.

[kane2006299]

i think nikita should of got further to the final i liked her
