I adored this song when rebecca sang it. And I had no idea duffy sang it, until after rebecca sang Distant Dreamer. I really think she made this song her own, I love it :')
Watch out UK!!! As One gone one born... Amy we miss u but here comes Rebecca! 3yrs l8tr cant say i never told u so. UK is goin 2 cue up 2 listen this girl's music... Well done xfactor for giving her that platform!!! Watch this space...

Whilst I do prefer Duffys version I would love for the writer of this song to collaborate with Rebecca. Bernard Butler is quite simply one of the best if not the best songwriters around in my opinion. He is a genius.
@owenrw2889 Quite an unfair comparison. Duffy is amazing but this young contestant has talent and her version - coached by an x factor team - is not bad, in fact it is moving. Rebecca is not the only talented person out there, so targeting bad comments at her singing is unnecessary wouldn't you agree? :)
This is fucking awful !! She's totally goes out of tune in 2 sections, her has no vibrato in the verses, and she is pretty flat throughout. Listen to THE ORIGINAL live BBC ONE SESSIONS - DUFFY !!
when is rebbeca releasing her song she was the most talented last year i was gutted she didnt win she has a voice and needs to let it it rip you go babe ....... you are a diva in the making F A N T A S T I C ....................xxxjoxxx
I was expecting this to be better. It's one of my all time favourite songs and Rebecca has a unique timeless quality to her voice, this just showed she needed to get more in control of it.
It is off key, but still awesome. Just my 2 cents. Maybe being on key isn't so magnificent afterall. Who fucking said they have to be on key? What if being off key is the bomb?
To my ears, she is amazing. I don't give a shit if she is off key.
Duffy is WAY better !!! I even can't listen to this voice, sorry... she sings terrible in this song. Maybe that Rebecca sings better other things but for me - this is completely disaster.
@myplanOTH1 Well said - she's not even singing in tune (0.49 and many other places). she also manages to make the song sound turgid like an old fashioned 45 rpm record slowed down to 33 rpm. Plus the wobbly yodling bits at 3.12 & 3.33. What a shocker! She couldn't even provide backing vocals for Duffy.
@jezkn well you see the reason she was off key in many places is because she was nervous. so if you think you can do any better you go onto the x factor this year and sing that song. it is not her fault she was nervous she was extremely better that matt girls were just voting him through because of his looks. so you can be quiet yourself it is not her fault.Just Be Quiet You Paedo.
@AppleLolliePops I'm afraid I don't know the number 'Just be Quiet you Paedo' - does Rebecca sing that one as well? - but I'll keep it on phile just in case. And in any case I dont like lolly pops - its all that sucking you see - its bad for your teeth.
i dont sing - so I'll not take up the X factor option if thats OK. - well not this year anyway.
As for Matt - whats he got to do with it - this is about Rebecca (who the hell is he anyway?)
There are always a lot of fans saying she will be a big star and everything...but the truth is she wont..she might have an album but it wont sell loads..trust me on this. Matt will have a massive career because he has what joe mcelderry and Leon jackson didnt - a unique and current voice.
@Gazaa09 ~ You Are Of Course Entitled To Your Opinion (ObviouslyAs A Huge Matt Fan) Even If IMO You Are Entirely WRONG.
Not Being a Fan of Any Contestant @ The Beginning of This Year's X-Factor.. by the 3rd Live Show IMO this Lady Stood High & Above any other contestant including "Your Matt".
She's got a great Voice for Contemporary Songs & a Fantastic Voice for Smooth Jazz and Rhythm&Blues.
Now under contract to Simon's own Label Syco only & not with Sony like Matt is Rebecca will be a Star.
@starrrrryeyed wrong the 2004 2005 2006 2008 winner all did better than 2nd place but rhydian did better than leon in 07 and olly did better than joe in 09 that is all
she's soooo cute, i just want to give her a big cuddle !! should of won, matts song was poo, and her voice is really unique, you dont get them every day
she's soooo cute, i just want to give her a big cuddle !! should of one, matts song was poo, and her voice is really unique, you dont get them every day
I still dont know how she didnt win, probably the main reason we all know the show is a fix. After her peformance of this, such a graceful and powerful peformance. Yet she never won? FIX.
Great song, really liked it compared to matts winners song, Rebecca could've won the x factor if Cheryl had if concentrated and pushed her more, rather than favouring those 2 other swamp donkeys Katie and Cher.
Although with no disrespect to matt the x factor 1st place is for losers with the exception of 1..... Leona Lewis
By the way IMO I still think the original version of Run by Snow Patrol is better by a country mile.
Rebecca you should have won what a singer amazing voice way better then matt if i were going to a concert either you or matt it would be you by far well done Rebecca far better song than Matts. You were the No 1 Rebecca best this year well done
What a shame she didn't win, although I believe in the long run she'll have the staying power and a brilliant career. I live in Chicago and she's already been on the radio a couple of times here, in fact that's how I heard about her.
I sure hope they release her CD here in the States. I think Britain should be real proud, you guys have yourselves a true gem :-)
Why isn't this on itunes. All of the other X factor performances have been on there to download. This is stunning and - while i like Matt - this is much better. Time will tell but I think she'll be the ultimate winner of this year's series
Why isn't this on itunes. All of the other X factor performances have been on there to download. This is stunning and - while i like Matt - this is much better
She is amazing and the best contestant ever! such a shame that she didn't get this song in the charts it would've gone to number 1 deservedly unlike many others (Joe Mc) hopefully Simon Cowell will see an opportunity here...She is in the same league as shirley Bassey, Clio lane and diane warwick she could be one of the greats...
Im kinda Glad she didnt win it purely for the fact that the runner up has always done better than the winner look At JLS and Olly Murs they didnt win and yet there doing better than Alexandra And Joe
Is she going to be releasing this? I really wished she would have won. I felt sooo proud of the girl and I don't even know her! Just to see someone that was so discrete, quiet, and shy turn into a strong, classy woman was Amazing, I'm so happy that she got so far in the competition and how gracious she was that Matt won. I really hope she gets a record contract because I will certainly be buying her albums. She will rise above Matt in the music industry, just wait and see.
I have liked Rebecca since seeing her being interviewed in the crowd. She was dressed to impress, very classy and elegant. The words to this song are very poignant to me, my dear sister passed away earlier this year and I have found coping quite difficult, walking about with head down, seemingly with nothing to smile about. Rebecca's journey on X Factor and ending with her fantastic version of this song and her stunning voice has lifted my spirits in my journey to again, turn my dreams into re
fell in love rebecca at the start adored her come the end shes so hot an amazin singer hope she goes far and becomes famous she will be an amazin role model unlick matt i hate to say it because i like ma but rebecca wont be in the papers for romps and drugs
This girls voice is amazing. Big things will be coming her way.. Glad she didn't win because she will be a huge star in her own right without the trashy 'xfactor winner' label. Matt will disappear and she will become an international star in her own right.
I don`t understand why do people feel like they need to nsult Matt in order to praise Rebecca. They are both amazing singers and Matt has an amazing voice. I don`t know have you watched but its been revealed that he was first in voting every week except the first one where he was placed second. I think it`s obvious that the public wanted him because he deserves it. They are both going to go long way and One Direction and Cher. Besides look at Aiden and Treyc and Paije-all amazing!!
@bellgreene Hi there actually with your comments and mostly I do agree, most of the acts who are successful on XF tend to go a long way and become successful afterwards. Good luck to them all. Lets hope Matt gets to produce credible material of his own. I did however think Rebecca was far more talented but then thats just personal choice. Best wishes.
This is a much better winners song, luved her shes just a bit shaky in parts - but before she sang they just showed her a video clip of all her family and kids which would give anyone a lump in there throat - bless her love her cant wait for her album :)
ya know what, rebecca is an amazing girl with loads of potential as much as some people would disagree n i hope she has an amazing future ahead of her, ill be buyin all her work when it comes out and will always support her thru her journey :)
Heidi! Send me a message and I will reply with how you can get this song on your iPod or whatever you want. It is safe, quick, easy and free. I would tell you know but I am on my iPod at the moment so I wouldn't be able to explain properly. By the way I love this song and rebecca!
just wanted to ask if anyone knows where we may be able to download this song anywhere? and maybe its better she did not win, as the last couple of years whom ever has come second has done better- and olly has had 2 singles out before joe - WELL I LIVE IN HOPE and thanks to Rebecca for the last ten weeks, I have enjoyed every minute
I can't believe she didn't win, her winners song was miles and miles better and she ALWAYS had the better voice - it's such a shame. I really hope she still gets a record deal because I want her album!!!! And this song
@POthree - she didnt need to win. I think Matt in all seriousness needed it more. Rebecca will have no problem getting a contract. The both deserved to be in the final ;)
