LA REED is crazy. That was amazing. In tears. Paula was right!!!

[jazmisabel]

Josh Krajcik is awesome!

[Bethb95]

I remember the evening when he sung this on x-factor, I was crying :3

[jayden2595]

I love this performance, it was his best on XFactor...simply amazing.

[freshgirl4010]

LA reed is an idiot.. nough said

[grime2jm]

chills every time

[KingMinosxxvi]

jeffbuckley or joash krajcik? commononow sike

[ambie0318]

When I think someone is good I get goosebumps on my arm...Listening to him gives me goosebumps on my arms all the way down my legs...he's perfomance is perfection; the edge he added put more depth into the song.

[krisp8888]

LOL at Nicole. I'll miss her. She made for great comic relief.

[sesmailian]

True Rock-n-Rolla, Love Foreva

[MiladyToxic]

thumbs up if this is roughly the 1,000th time you've seen this!

[lilj135z]

I HATE LA Reid. Lacked Excitement? Screw you LA, you're an idiot

[krisp8888]

@lilj135z I love LA, but he was so wrong on this performance. I wanted to hate it, as I personally was rooting for Melanie, but this performance was great.

[NothingButCain]

@lilj135z I know, ae? The song isn't even meant to BE exciting! It's soft and slow and sad not exciting or energenic :L

[mariannaretvari]

Hallottátok hogy hogy énekli Takács Nikolast?Mert ez ő hozzá egy nagy nulla!Nikolas igazi tehetség,nézzétek meg,mert nálunk azok vannak döntőben akik igazán megérdemlik!

[kdowd2020]

Bose speakers make it seem like I am right thurr =D

[cloudXnoctis]

HOW DID HE NOT WIN!?

[xNickolsen]

00:00

[ghettovolcom]

[bogartleeblues]

[kevinmorrison89]

I've heard this song a thousand time and a thousand different ways, but never have I heard it done like this. This guys goin' places.

[maria1991fariabonito]

i got chills just of hear he singing. love love love

[DIANNEELEE]

What a loser, LA Reed. Josh is a one in a lifetime performer. The street performers is what LA Reed likes. Try to get them on your CD's Reed. What a laugh!. And Simon, What a loser you were in this compition. Money talks and bull s--- walks. Shame on you.

[Shmazeldorf]

0:59 - 1:04 sounds like someone is masturbating. o.o

[SuperBelieve77]

Yes it's better than the original! Freakin Awesome! I'm in love with this song!



[jopo512]

@SuperBelieve77 You should heard the Jeff Buckley's version it's pure magic

[turbobenx]

seriously? LA and the pplz who hates? seriously?...

[aussieindo1991]

this is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen

[hpbroncofan]

La "N" Reid, STFU

[virtuosolead]

Better than the original

[iammaldita5]

this is really... really... reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ........... NICE

[jaymej1999]

Josh should've won. Period.



[blackhuanita]

awsome!!!

[MsPaperplanes]

marry me

[goshka61]

@MsPaperplanes ME TOO!

[PhantomBolt]

AMAZING

[Fitothemaster]

I'M FROM DOM. REPUBLIC, I HAVE TO SAY - I WAS WITH JOSH ALL THE TIME.

HE DESERVED TO WIN.

[th3h17m4n1]

i would empty my bank account to buy his album right now

[Alestars]

WOW...speechless

[phlip00ws6]

Thumbs up if the fucking volume just wont go high enough.

[AwesomeArtistsLive]

@phlip00ws6 Buy some decent external speakers...its never loud enough on cheesy laptop internals...PLEASE!

[silpharian]

@AwesomeArtistsLive It was sarcasm. This song is so good, that no speakers are ever loud enough.

[jeremyjohnston03]

@AwesomeArtistsLive It's never loud enough, period. So shut the fuck up "AwesomeArtistsLive." You're a faggot, and can go fuck yourself for being a douche bag troll. Go die please, you annoying little shit. All of your videos are more annoying than the "RIP Whitney Houston" posts I've seen on Facebook lately. Go join her please, because you fail at life.

[sweathogsparky]

@jeremyjohnston03 Wow! You want someone to die because they told someone else to buy better speakers? You need serious professional help before you end up on the evening news!

[johno0217]

@AwesomeArtistsLive I think he meant cause the song is so great he cant turn it up loud enough

[FanaticMadden]

@phlip00ws6 every time...

[gzatske]

fuk bro u da man unbeatable fuk la 

[123CLEAREYES]

1:28-1:44....BREATH-TAKING! from New Zealand.

[dorths23]

I'm gonna be buying his albums because he has talent.. Melanie isn't going to make albums as great as Josh even though she won...

[MsDominic20]

Thumbs up if they think Josh Krajcik should have won X factor and not Melanie Amaro!!

[phlip00ws6]

Don't you hate it when you listen to a song too many times it gets played out.. Good thing this isn't one of em.

[husky5767]

LA was just jealous

[matubustabad]

best of all. period

[mjsangel03]

Josh your voice is amazing.....I voted and voted for you to win...But your already awinner with an amazing voice like that.....I wish you the best in the future ..I know we will see and hear from you again.....

[michaelleija]

why doesn't anyone make beautiful songs like these anymore??

[steveheyboer]

Am I the only one who thinks Josh should have done a Bob Segar tune? He sounds just like Segar. Great work Josh, your amazing

[QvanteN123]

I didnt like him until this song , he is amazing :O

[nacatachi]

CARALHO! QUE FODA!

[3521usa]

This is a beautiful song, if done right. I've searched all over youtube for a perfect version of this song but couldn't quite find one. I was excited to see Josh perform this song on X factor and he definitely nailed it. His version is the best I've ever heard. I'm a huge fan and hopes he releases a full version of this song on his first album.

[24starscream]

@3521usa a very good version but the best by far is.....K.D lang at the 2010 winter olympics in vancouver!!!

[juajen2000]

@24starscream I love K.D.Lang's version also, but, being honest, Josh only sang a small part of this song, and it was "bloody fantastic", so I think I like his version best of all.

[55bets]

I hope his first album has the full version of this song on it, sung just this way...just his voice and the piano. That album NEEDS to come out soon. Withdrawal has set in. I've listened to all his downloads hundreds of times and they still hit me like the first time. And may I say, aside from the enormous talent he possesses....he isn't classically attractive, but he has such masculinity and dignity and confidence and tenderness that he is utterly intoxicating. I'm in love.

[whatever007ism]

I have taken the time to listen to every professional who has sang this song. And, there is no one who has done a better job then you. LA is a self serving moron. Talent means absolutely nothing to him. He wants his guys to win. I can tell you this, none of his guys will go anywhere. Possibly 1 hit wonders, but you Josh, will have a long lasting career.

[xRADOSLAVx1]

super josh...

[jcwitdrsus]

1:35 is whats its all about!!

[jcwitdrsus]

L.A ried.. shut the fck up please.. i love how big you think you are.. josh dont let loosing the finals get you down in any way, YOu are one of my favorit singers iv ever seen, you inspire me man, and im not the only one..

[TheDrgreenthumb89]

The best version of this song i have yet to hear so much passion in his voice and i get chill bumps and my face gets red when i hear this its soooo amazing how he can hit those notes with his unique voice that i think should of won the whole shabangbang... Josh is an insparation and really has the ability to make tears come to your eyes when he sings. Good Job bro you deserve all your about to get >>>>

[rensweets]

Congrats to Melanie but this guy Josh Krajcik is my winner. His voice is just great.

[orangegurlah]

this one was sang on shrek 1, i love this song. very heart warming

[Cruellamai]

hay ghê :"> nghe cảm động

[iTzDelerium]

His voice is sooooooooo beautiful Melanies will never compare to how raw his is.

[adeliafu]

14 pessoas tem um bastonete enfiado no c*

[LupazBroskiddle]

Amazing, amazing singer... I will b awaiting the arrival of your album

[jaymej1999]

totally should have won. hands down.

[SoundersandSeahawks]

Josh won it in my eyes.

[IneIneIneee]

he should've won. Melanie is amazing but she's not unique..

josh, you're amazing, don't stop making music!

[concheetah]

wow! the most beautiful man in the world, you didn't win but you win the hearts of all those who believe in you. This song brings tears to my eyes. Thankyou for who you are.

[heyguysirock]

does anybody else think L.A. is a fucking idiot

[morrison116]

@heyguysirock ... Yes he is!

[frannien]

amazinggggggggg gives me chillssssssss

[phlip00ws6]

Where do I put my credit card number?

[789bidu]

simon.... fuck you



[BORFWHISTLE1]

@789bidu YOU AGREE WITH L.A, ON THIS ? THEN, YOU GOT NO SOUL. THIS IS EASILY AMONG THE TOP TWO OR THREE VERSIONS OF THIS SONG, I'VE HEARD. SIMON HAS CRITICIZED OTHERS ON AMERICAN IDOL. HE LOVES BUCKLEY'S VERSION, AND FELT THAT THEY PALED IN COMPARISON. THIS WAS BETTER THAN JEFF BUCKLEY. AND SIMON GAVE HIM THE CREDIT HE DESERVED. ALL THAT ASIDE... WHY SHOULD YOU BE PISSED AT SIMON, FOR ENJOYING SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T? YOU JUST LIKE TO STEALING PEOPLE'S JOY, IF YOU CAN'T FEEL IT ?

[EvelynVela7]

he should win! i mean melany is amazing but josh is a complete artist

[morrison116]

LA... fuck you

[debauch666]

@DEBUTUBED...I am so glad to hear you say this! I have been so upset at the thought of what they might do to him when he won and they got their corporate claws into him! I said right from the auditions that he is the only one I have ever supported, and that he had a career (even without winning). Even with a huge audience, you are now free to perform what YOU desire to sing perform. Josh...YOU WILL BE...ARE... A STAR! :D

[DEBUTUBED]

I am glad that Josh didn't win! I would have hated to see them turn him into some kind of pseudo pop singer. He needs a microphone, guitar, a piano and a quiet audience in order to hear every glorious note. The songs he was born to sing are bluesy & soulful. I can't wait until he starts touring. My friends and I will get the best seats in the house.

[Cinderjewel]

I super love Josh Krajcik and would buy his music in a heartbeat!!!!

[arabiandutchess]

incredible voice. legendary.

[njspecz]

/watch?v=T04gZvVIFTI

If he puts out anything close to this in the future, no one will even remember Melanie Amaro.

[tarprint]

@njspecz You are so right! He blew all of them out of water in my book! GO JOSH!

[BaysCody]

I love the way Josh really put himself into this song, It has inspired me to listen to everyone telling me to follow my dream of singing. Thank you for starting my journey Josh. You are my Idol.

[danlagioii]

and yea i think josh is the man and should win even though melanie is very strong.. chris is just an x factor.. literally..

[danlagioii]

i dont believe i've ever seen such a beautiful background stage presentation.. just blows me away.. well done art production people. and simon is witty and unpredictable as always, hes the man!!

[rrworship]

nat king cole is reborn

[rrworship]

in tears...

[AdeleManiac]

Josh for the win !!!!!!!!!!!

[GrandmaLoves2Scuba]

If he doesn't win tonight I will be so disappointed! What a wonderfully unique voice. And wtf LA??? You didn't feel it? lmaoooooooooo. Really? Brought me to tears...

[LittleMsEtoile]

wtf is wrong with la reid...

[MrAspinall06]

the 14 people who disliked this song are Asto fans

[ThePianoGurlie]

LA Reid doesn't know what he's talking about, this was amazing

[Faxness4ever1]

1:37!!!!!! Chills

[ravilourenco]

oh my god you're so awsome, you're the best

[EmilyFischerxo]

[lindab30]

[dhennessey1970]

@foster0101

I'd love to see Josh sing the National Anthem

That guy has a voice of an angel

[goshka61]

@foster0101 100% AGREE.I FEEL THE SAME AND DO THE SAME HERE IN POLAND I LISTEN HIM EVERY DAY

[RiskyPack]

Kurt Nilsen really owns this song.. Nobody can really live up to that, when you have heard him. They should have picked another song

[mcgmcmullin]

Just beautiful.

[MegaJvGames]

FENOMENAL



[gcv141156]

I mean that as an interpreter josh illumine us with his voice the roads daily, with a glow of love joy passion of humility force this life we enjoy listening to your magnificent voice vibration that comes to the soul and allows us to enjoy momentos.josh those few who make it ..... god bless you Merry Christmas to all. gabriel from mexico t.j

[levonneian]

someone needs to slap that dude in the audience. 0:54

[ClaraQ12]

OMG this audience is so annoying

[slo1299]

I don't even like this song......but the way Josh sang it, made me listen to it again.

[aleja0218wolf]

please vote

[emppik]

I wish you luck Josh to the final ;-) ... You´re best!!!

[FatBlack0]

Watch at 2:15 Simon Cowell looks so pissed off!!

[jessyalp]

Awesome!

He is my favorite. He is an angel!

[sroki24]

Kasia Kowlska version of this song is the best!!!!

[frazerbarbara05]

Josh Krajcik version of Hallelujah is the best !!!

[frazerbarbara05]

Josh Krajcik sings it better than Alexandra Burke, that is the honest truth.

[frazerbarbara05]

TEARS, TEARS, TEARS. LOVE THE WAY HE SINGS IT. IT'S SO PEACEFUL AND PENETRATING TO THE SOUL. WOW !!!

[T3RR1]

If Josh doesn't win I'mma throw my TV out the window... He's amazing ♥

[0verdarainbow0]

Never... EVER had I cried so hard for a song. Even from how overexposed the song seems to be across singing competitions.

No matter how amazing Melanie is, or how inexplicably popular Chris Rene is, this boy better win.

[delfina945]

i love him !!!!I Iam from Argentina , AN HE are the best farrrrr .he made me cry ...is so beautiful that i havent words ...!!!!!!

[chops5858]

You see now I know that the counters on here are bulldingy because I must've listened to this song 100,000 times myself1 Josh is absolutely amazing and deserves to win in my book!

[hmn12341]

he is fking amazing

[RaineParadox]

Nicole's reaction the whole time <3

[rartese]

Best Version Ever Of This Song, He deserves to win........

[RinChan73774]

LA .... ARE YOU DEATH INSIDE?? obviously you are!! it was an amazing song!!!

JOSH I LOVE YOU YOU ARE THE WINNER

[mahalkitaprecy]

New Zealand Is with you all the way Josh

[theonlykatii]

Josh... If you don't take this competition there is something seriously wrong with America's ear. You ROCK! I haven't heard a voice that I can feel in my heart for a long time, until now. Can't wait for your CD (and I hope Come Together and Hallelujah are on it!), I can't wait to see you live. Stay true to you. God Bless and Merry Christmas :)

[pablo750]

My mom just email me from Mexico she wrote: Please vote for Josh i hope he wins, i cant vote from here. I did't know what was she talking about until i watched this video.

[madmaxxxxful]

He is the best indeed.

I am from Brazil too and we are twisting for him.

A big talent!

[AmandaPegado]

Gosh... can't stop listening. This guy deserves.

[Gleecia]

Completamente apaixonada por essa música!

[RoooachLAN]

this version was far more fantastic and  amazing!!! i think LA was just jealous!He knew how perfectly Josh sang the song!!!!

[drrenable]

he is the only singer who definetly makes me CRY,im from Kosova and i love JOSH KRAJCIK,i hope he wins.he totaly deserve to win the 5 million recording contract.

[grimesnj]

I've watched this about 200 times now, and I still get the chills when I see the RAW PASSION this guy delivers ! There's a group called Mercy Me who would also sing this well, but Josh brought this CHURCH ! Even if Josh don't win this contest, he's WON man-many people (fans) and will now become a STAR ! We can only hope he'll follow this passion in every song he sings !

[lilitamil]

SOY DE BUENOS AIRES,JOSH,ESTOY FELIZ DE ESCUCHARTE,UN GRAN BESO A TU MAMAFELICIDADES A TODOSY GRACIAS,POR COMPARTIR ESA MARAVILLOSA VOZ,UN ANGEL TE TOCO AL NACER!!!!

[THEWARWILLNEVEREND]

Fuckin goosebumps.

[pman1919ify]

I have watched X factor in uk for since the start,I'm from Ireland. No contestant has ever matched this guys talent, by a clear mile the best singer in this competition and shame on L A for being tactical on this brilliant performance. 

[thewesleyapples]

epic face 1:40 lololol

[can80jo]

He makes me cry every time he opens his mouth! He has been my favorite the WHOLE time!

[StarDylan1]

I got goosebumps at 1:38

[cobbax9916]

Josh for the win !!!

[cobbax9916]

yes LA says some weird stuff he said something once not long ago like "I was going to rip into you" to someone

(not those exact words of course but the meaning I cant remember exactly) and it was bizzare you think WHY was he going to do that !!! he's rather odd.

[ace80k]

He's a great talent, but I fear he'll be another Taylor Hicks if he does win =x.
