  • now it's a year on and i love his cover songs... sadly dont like his album much although I wanted to.

  • YOUR JUST AWESOME MATT!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, <3 YOUR VERY GOOD LOOKING TOO. <3 I'M FROM THE UNITED STATES, PENNSYLVANIA

  • @cmgoggins Thumbs up from the UK lol!!!

  • Stunning

  • Did you know, apart from week one where he came second, Matt Cardle got the most votes every week?xx

  • Addicted to his version. Truly awesome.

  • yea this guy is freakin amazing..we shouldnt be asking to much longer who is Matt Cardle!..hes got a voice from..not of this world -i mean-unbelievably fantastic!!

  • Oh god ..... WAS THAT ACTUALLY better than the Moody Blues' classic version ? I honestly think so., YES, I must admit........ WHO is this Matt Cardle guy ??

  • the end reminds me of Jared letto's voice

  • Great version of one of the best songs ever.

    ...Great piece of eye candy, too! :p

  • Christ that's good!!

  • What a legend, moved me!

  • this was the song that really made me support matt for the rest of the competition :)

  • Matt sang so beautifully I knew from week 1 that he was going to win!!

  • we played this song at my fathers funeral 3 days ago. i say no more. thanks matt.

    

  • This is a fantastic interpretation of a classic song. This song has so much meaning and Matt has served it well. If only more peaople today payed more attention to our past... back when music was actually music and not just a stupid bass drum and skimpy clothing.

  • Flawless

  • Just one word Beautiful

  • Hmmm not bad; but Justin Hayward wrote this when he was 19 and the Moody Blues have been performing it about 10 times better than this for 45 years and they still are. It's good to see this fabulous song getting some publicity though.

  • Great job, think he's great...

  • This is a great effort and a very faithful cover. But the success rate of X factor winners is very slim. There hasn't been a great singer songwriter produced by the X Factor, with Leona Lewis being a Beyonce wannabee and Alexandra Burke producing terrible dance anthems. Of course being a songwriter is not easy.

    My problem is Simon Cowell who gives the winner a chance at stardom, only to produce another show every year with last years winner nearly forgotten.

  • Love it !

  • it seemed like he hurt himself though at the end of the song :/ but he did an amazing job!

  • I loved the song. U done a fabulous job. Matt I love and I hope I'm going to see u soon !!! Danina1996

  • love this and i didnt even like him much on xfactor :3

  • Wow...what a gorgeous, talented man!!! His voice gives me goosebumps EVERY time he sings Xx

  • when shes singing the last note, i cant close my mouth! DAAAAMMMNNNN!!!!!!

  • @Jakiladd same here wen i first heard him sing that mega long note i was like 'wow!' lol. Love him. Awesome guy brilliant voice.

  • i think with the longer notes, i thought it sounded better then the original. amazing,

  • This is just beautiful. To perform live to this standard shows what an amazing talent Matt is. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. This should have been the single. Gorgeous.

  • The twats who work for X-Factor who uploaded this have it titled ''KNIGHTS''.......idiots

  • Gives me goosebumps everytime

  • So glad he won! Lost count the amount of times I phoned for him. For me, this was even better than 'every time I close my eyes, I see your face'. Well done Matt, the best person won.

  • I don't like the x factor because I think the covers element should be removed and there should ONLY be people who write and perform their own material and then get judged on that. I am pleased Matt won because I know he can do all of those things and I recently read that he is being given autonomy over his career because of this very fact.

    Now, next year, make it a requirement that people have ALL the elements of what make an artist - not just a good voice.

  • How could anyone call this guy talent-less? He can certainly hold a note and to do that while playing guitar is definately skill. Definately deserved to win! I'll be buying his single :)

  • he should have released this as the single - this was by a mile the best performance of the whole series, he didnt do a great job with many of horror

  • Gorgeous!!!!!! x

  • Famouse or not id still do him.give u the best ride of your life matt ;-) buckle up boy im goin to make u into a man lol

  • When I hear this song, and when he sings the chorus, and I picture my boyfriend I'm deeply in love with and his beautiful face, I get shivers along my skin. So please, I respect all of you.. don't argue with people you'll never meet, over someone who won The X Factor? Enjoy/hate the song, find someone you love, and just go let them know it.

  • I love the fact that every year musos and music snobs want to slate x factor. Then this guy comes out and starts playing the guitar and therefore smashing the usual boring "talentless" tags from people still wanking over the smiths.

  • I think matt cardle is the real deal. Only problem is for the next couple of years he'll probably have to punt out manufactured pap. You only have to listen to his take on songs to see that he has talent. It's no coincedence that the worst song he's done is the song that's getting released. Check out seven summers if you haven't already and tell me he's no good.

  • @gymnosophy

    It must be really really getting to you now musn't it!! Matt didn't just just win- he slaughtered it! You underestimate the general public- you think the only one who knows about music. The best it yet to come with MATT you see! But you wont of course because your argument is based in personal biase and jealousy

  • @jetpackedman If you bothered to read my comments you would have read I wished him luck. If I wanted to be jealous of someone it would be an auteur and not a flash in the pan pop star. Clyro called his perforance "an x-factor version" Not my words. Read into that what you will. Maybe they are jealous. I'll let you think for yourself-you need the practice. cough cough

  • MATT ya done it <33

    Even at 60% and 80% of his singing voice....He still blew everyone out of the water <33

    Routed for you since the start......You deserve every bit of success that def coming your way.....The haters will Hate, even if you pulled out the best note in the universe.......Rise above it......Ignore them, and keep delivering....I'm behind you all the way <333

  • cor, i love end!

  • I'm shocked when sb says '' He can't sing.....he's sucks...he'screeching etc.'' OMG guys! Why are you saying that?! He's amazing and deserved to win! ;) I personally find he has got talent and one of the most beautiful male voices I ever heard!! ;) Greetings to Matt's fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the best performance of matt cardle :)) fantastic voice

  • Brilliant, love the Moody Blues , love Matt, hope this is on his new album, a well deserved win, well done Matt, hope to hear and see a lot of you in the future.

  • sorry but this just puts one direction to shame.

  • BEST SINGER EVER

  • This and The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face were the two performances that made this season for me. He was amazing, unmatched, deserved to win.

  • Well deserved Win Matt, consistant every week........

  • I detest the X-Factor but this guy is actually good !!!!!

  • Love it

  • 1:55 - 2:02 best bit

  • He won!!! Id knew it from the start

    he is my favorite!!! and he was and he will

    he never changed in the competition just stayed him self, he is lovely!!!!

    also well donw to rebecca makin liverpool proud :]

    and 1 direction well done guys!

  • So deserved to win his first album should be all the songs he's sung on the X-factor

  • This was Matt at his best ^^ this, 'hit me baby one more time' and 'first time I ever saw your face' were stunning

  • I really really really hope he wins!! :)

  • It's not just the notes he reaches that impress, but I love how full-sounding it is and his intonation. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable when people are singing and you can really hear what 'parts' of their voice they are using to do a certain melody but for the most part I like matts transitions and pronunciation. Except in you got the love because it sounded like he wasn't sure how he was going to approach the song or what version he was doing...

  • @0SweetRevenge0 His phrasing of a song is lacking-maybe it may come with age as it doesn't come naturally

  • @0SweetRevenge0

    or maybe the problem with "you've got the love" was the fact that his voice was shot and he had a fever on stage. not easy to sing when your throat is on fire and sweating out the flu.

  • @CreamPuffer I was commenting on his pitch and phrasing. Some bits were distinctly like the original and some bits were like Florence's cover.. only they didn't fit or they fluctuated like crazy. I can ignore any croaks, crackles or scratchy sounding vocals because yes, he's sick.

  • @CreamPuffer

    Sore throat isn't actually a flu symptom, but yes I have found it hard to sing for concerts running a 40 degree plus fever. And I'm not one of those 'I got a bad cold, woe is me' people either. I know what flu does to you. I just got out of hospital with it!

  • @0SweetRevenge0

    Yes, I know that genius. Hence I did not say that sore throat was a flu symptom. Not sure what you are talking about. Anyway, it was more than just a sore throat. Laryngitis is a bitch. :(

    I hope you are feeling better. It must have been serious if you were in the hospital. Keep warm.

  • @CreamPuffer Gah, sorry for being so grouchy. I get a little... fragile (and stupid) when I'm sick ^^;; Suddenly developed tonsillitis as well XP I feel a lot better than I was... I can walk to the bathroom by myself! YEAH!

    *cough* Ahem, anyway, Matt's awesome and I'm glad he's won. I'm just upset now everyone's bitching about him doing a Biffy Clyro cover *sigh* I'd like to hear him do some Daniel Merryweather, Ellie Goulding (random, I know, I don't even like her much) and Muse... You?

  • This man to win! Brilliant voice.

  • Best preformance of the serise hopes he sings this in the final he is too good for shit x factor!

  • the camera man has NO idea how to shoot this.....but fucking ACE

    only decent thing to come out of x factor ever...

  • This guy is on fire! His guitar is actually tuned a semi-tone higher than the original to give even more shine to his head voice - I noticed the same when he did "First time ever I saw your face", stunning vocal range - props to you Matt - Rebecca is the only one that barely touches the smoke from his heels - sadly, Rebecca would be just too boring to watch - I grow instant cobwebs when she's on stage, love her voice though.

  • EVERYONE VOTE TO SEND MATT TO THE FINAL!!!! This performance from matt is my favourite.

    GO TEAM MINOGUE!!!!

  • I'm not gonna say this is better than the original, because I also love the original... But this song is perfect for his voice, very good perfomance... and I can imagine if the Moody Blues see this performance they would like it 2...

  • He is amazing! I get chills and goosebumps when he sings. He's deffo going to win X-Factor! VOTE MATT!!!

  • Awesome, absolutely stunning!

  • lol as if glastonbury should be used as a measure of talent. how many good bands sat at home while vampire fucking weekend were headlining for part of the first night? nuff said. whether or not he has a posh background has nothing to do with if people should force themselves to dislike his performances to keep you happy just because you dont. i hate the xfactor but think matt is the only genuinely fantastic act they have

  • @meatflowers I like you. You make me laugh. You say "nuff said" then go on and on and on!  Social background has everything to do "with it" You got the word "act" right, I'll give you that. "nuff said"

  • I Really love this year contestants!! The 5 finalist are all good on their own! Ofcourse Matt is still the best out of the five. He nailed this song just like the rest except bleeding love. But I also like the other 5 so it doesn't matter who will go out anymore for me. If it's not Matt it's fine. I can truly enjoy the show now without losers.

  • Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues has heavily praised this performance, rightfully so.

  • @SickPuppyBeatz The writter? Who will make royalties? I wonder why!

  • @SickPuppyBeatz Did he really?

    WOW...thats a great compliment......Matt is....JESUS.....HE'S UNREAL....the control....humility....tendern­ess <333

  • @gymnosophy fror the record mate this is on video and timing can be out on recording ( out of sync ) , so its no good saying the sound is out with his down stroke , also look at his videos b4 he come on X factor it proves that he is a true guitarist

  • @topgunnertg Then damned if you do damned if you eh.

    Would that gig be the "secret gig" the x factor got him to perform so they had footage for him to show on the next show? It's called promotion.

    Sounds like a "jack the lad" in his audition yet seems to have toned down his essex accent. Has he had his teeth fixed recently? Did he go to a 15k a year boarding school? Was he brought up in 500k house? Did he go to a 500 quid a week drama school or is that just rumour also?

  • @gymnosophy dude you are one jealous asshole , just cuz you aint got what his got in life youi try to pick holes in him , but these people on youtube know wot sort of person you are ! , Thumbs up if you agree with me peoplpe :)

  • @topgunnertg You're a blind deaf twat who isn't supporting musicianship but supporting Cowell's fakery circus. Matt has been groomed to win because he'll make the most money. He's a one trick pony with an ok falsetto voice and a crap low end voice. His band didnt get to the final 11 of the glastonbury emerging talent. He'll probably win this because of teenage girls and wankers like you

  • @gymnosophy You are so totally, totally wrong. All ages and genders love Matt's voice.Not just the young teens! Basically anyone who has a genuine love of music and isn't tone deaf as you must be. He has my total respect and as a singer and songwriter (speaking as a humble musician myself) He is not a one trick pony either if you had done any research you would know about his Darwyn and Seven Summers music which is totally different.You are so obviously very very jealous!

  • @jetpackedman You mention his other music. Let me explain it to you like you where a two year old so even you might understand.

    The X Factor.....an event where even a "songwriter" can sell out BEFORE they "Make it"

  • @gymnosophy '

    oh shit up, you pretentious snob. go back to eating cheetos in your mom's basement and being a miserable ass. stay pressed.

  • @CreamPuffer Repeat that please, I didn't hear due my CONSUMPTION and perchant for Rupert the Bear pants. cough cough

  • @gymnosophy Maybe he brushed them? Millions of people go to expensive boarding schools and when I went to a public school I was living with my parents in a house worth more than 500k, whats your point? Is that an effort to diss Matt Cardle? Its a pretty pathetic attempt at it if you ask me, I dont know what you're trying to proove...

  • @R0bski Millions do not. Kids who do are VERY MUCH in the minority.

    The point is image and reality. And as you fail to see the point, I can conclude that every penny your parents spent on your education was wasted-as you are, in fact, a thick twat.

  • @gymnosophy Right so I post one comment and im automaticly a thick twat? Clearly logic has somewhat evaded you, what year did you leave school exactly?

    YOU are a fool who is trying to bring down a man who clearly has great vocal ability, because what, he may be advertising something for Simon Cowell maybe?! He may be rich? Im sorry but he doesnt even look vaguely rich, hes a painter and he wore practically the same clothes to the audition and to boot camp.

    Idiot.

  • @R0bski Yep, must be a record eh!

    I think only a fool like you could deduce that a commentor could bring down someone with the media behind them. I'm flattered!

    Regarding logic. Geldorf and Rockerfeller didn't look rich.

    Think he had "man flu" this week.

    Fair play to Matt for bringing his band to the auditions.

    Prick.

  • @gymnosophy You appear more concerned with Matt's background as opposed to his musical talent. Is this reverse discrimination? Having been in the crowd on Tuesday night at his homecoming gig, I met a few of his friends and they are all very down to earth as indeed he is. You have just a very big chip on your shoulder. Why don't you turn that negative energy around and do something in life for yourself? Why not? Of course it takes hard work and determination.

  • @jetpackedman I am entitled to an opinion. I am a musician. Maybe you could read some Adorno or another music critic.

    So what you went to a gig! If you shook his hand you might now have MAN FLU!

  • Can't wait to get Matts CD - hope he records some acoustic stuff. Absolutely brilliant!

  • Right at the beginning from his audition of The First Time I said Matt to win. The talent has been so good this year I have been unsure of a top choice over the last few weeks. But I now believe Matt is in a league of his own. So consistently good. I love the emotion with which he sings. And his voice is so powerful. He already sounds as good as any recording artist. And this is one of my favourite songs of all time anyway! Go Matt!

  • I just can't stop listening to this performance. The whole song is magical and the long note towards the end is just breathtaking. Matt looks gorgeous in those trousers and shirt. His stylist is so good !!

  • i think nights in white satin cud possible be my new fav song!!! love it!!!

  • gosh ,i thought his version of the first time i saw your face was splended ,but this outshines that a million times over .this lad is truely great find to the record industry ...i hope all the others in the show ,and this includes the judges , they are in the presance of a great star .

  • Please please please release this as a single! I want to hear a full length version

  • Highlight of the series for me this.

  • killed one of my fav songs. the x factor is a joke, and makes a mockery of real music.

  • @whiteskull20 I actually llike this version. I still prefer the original version coz it has an awesome hauting quality. But I thought Matt made it his own. Btw this is one of my fav songs also! LIke I said 'haunting' (the original version), don't you think? :P

  • Matt has got to win this show! he's just incredable his voice his looks (; ILOVEHIM every note that comes out of his mouth is just perfect, beautiful (:

  • You know, there are different tracks playing in this song, and Matt is playing one. There's more than one guitar playing here, Gym, as I'm sure you know.

    I don't play the guitar, but I do know the closer to the headstock the lower the note, and it seems that he's playing the appropriate chords there. His rhythm seems to sync.

    I don't know what you're seeing, but what I see isn't out of line with him actually playing the instrument.

  • @notmzbehaving Not necessarily-you can play chords nearer the bridge that are lower in the "bottom end" (bass notes) than nearer the nut.

    Ps; its what I hear than see- You'll note the directors reluctance to film his hands for more than a glimse. Which is wrong because be CAN play, and would lend him some authenticity.

  • Comment removed

  • @gymnosophy He is playing numpty! Its just that he is so good looking we would rather look at his face- VERY WISE DECISION

  • He HAS to win......most talent on the show by a mile

  • If he don't win, it's a damn crime!

  • -3-3-3-3

  • best 1 yet, amazin

  • Out of all of them he is the only one who can sing pure legend in the making

  • I've been voting for this guy for the last few weeks! He's really good, its between him and rebecca i think

  • This is the best version of ths song:

    Live concert with Mario Frangoulis/Justin Hayward

    Matt is the best!

    Matt Cardle to Win!!!

  • well done matt

  • This would have been so much better without the stupid backing track, should have just let him play and sing -like that ben guy who was on Xfactor in 2008 (sang and played piano)

  • This song was awsome!! I love matt and I am so glad they killed two birds with one stone last week and got rid of both Katie and Wagner! They were both dead weight!! Matt is the one to win it this year from my perspective, LOVE YOU matt cardle

  • All those Wagner votes now need to be used on this guy. Otherwise, there's a danger One Dimensional will win. Come on, Matt lad!

  • He sang it better than the moody blues for Christ sake this was the high point of the show

  • best voice in the whole competition if he doesn't win its a fix!

  • Gorgeous gorgeous!! Hairs on the back of my neck standing!!!! Lovely!

  • Excellent upload Aidan, thanks!=)

  • omg. . this was worth waiting the whole bloody show for! amazing! .. just amazing!

  • the winner for sure

  • Beauriful video and song.

  • Well done Matt, another hurdle crossed, nearer to the finish line. Looking forward to next week............

  • Matt your voice gives me the shivers. That was breathtaking. You do so deserve to win and I will be voting hard again next week.

  • Matt and his guitar is the best ^^ no gimmicks needed, his voice when he hits those big notes gives me goosebumps! That said, while I think he deserves to win, I don't want him to win...people who win (apart from Leona) are almost immediatly forgotten after their first release. Even if he doesn't win, he'll do well I think :)

  • Don't for him... release him for that crazy show so he can on with great music!

  • MATT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! HE'S GOT REAL TALENT!

  • I love this song

  • Comment removed

  • Estonia is loving you!!!!!Good luck!!!

  • Thank God someone has given this song its proper title. Even on the X-Factor website it says it's 'Knights in White Satin'... It is 'NIGHTS In White Satin'. Are X-Factor folk that retarded they don't even know the proper names of the classics?

  • Wow he made me drop my jaw. This song is too deep and he sang it really well! NO IT'S MORE THAN WElL!

    MATT FTW!

    he have a magnificent voice range!! GOsh i cant even explain how much i was amazaed

  • i love matt,, hes got such talent...WELL DONE MATT YOUR BRILL

  • He is a natural talent- want to buy his album- NOW

  • I live In Halstead but thats not the reason i want Matt to win, i want him to win because this man can sing.

    Unlike Wagner a person who had he gone on Britains got talent would have been laughed of the stage soon afther walking on.

  • stunning

  • Love the Moody Blues singing this song but have to say that Matt's version is brilliant!

  • Hi Aidan,

    Thanks for the great upload.....

    Nice work, ....as always!

    Warm Winter Wishes! : )

  • Finally - my favourite is out at his best. Matt Cardle - seriously the most serious and authentic artist on this show.

    VOTE FOR MATT CARDLE UK!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOVED IT!!! Gorgeous voice!!!

    On another subject . . . advice for Simon Cowell: Get rid of Walsh! Walsh was responsible for the no talent Jedward and he's now responsible for the even worse Wagner. If the fact that people are voting for Wagner just to annoy Simon hurts contestants like Matt Cardle I'll want to wring that little jerk's neck.

  • Brilliant vocal on this. The orginal is one of my all time favorite songs, and I actually said a couple of weeks ago to my friends that this song would be an excellent one for his voice. Glad he did it, but hope he didn't do any damage, as he has been sick all week, and I noticed the first thing he did at the end of the song was clutch at his throat like he was really sore there.

  • If Wagner wins, I feel sorry for him because his "supporters" will have forgotten all about him before the klieg lights cool.

    Matt, on the other hand, will always have a future in music, and will go as far as he wants to go. He has a beautiful, natural talent .

    By the way--he was a musician before XF, and there are plenty of videos of him playing his guitar just fine.

    I loved this version of the song; actually, I like it better than the original.

  • @notmzbehaving He can play the guitar. I just pointed out he played the wrong chord and if his guitar was plugged in-and switched on and volume turned up- you would have heard it as it would have clashed harmonically. btw-winning this comp is usually the kiss of death in a "career" in music. Apart from leona lewis, most have difted into obscurity. contestants are rabbits caught in the headlights

  • @gymnosophy

    I'll agree on yer last point. I hope Matt DOESN'T win cos Cowell is all about profit over quality, X-factor promotes you & then you're tied into a million contracts & have any form of ''art'' in the word artist taken away & replaced with pop tunes or so. The guys a genius music- business-man but scum of the earth for producing music or not promoting talent that isn't going to get no1.singles

  • @tvrulesnation Excatly-he(Cowell) is an oppotunist. I don't dislike Matt, he's a good musician but is having strings pulled from the X factor puppeteers(all are). A true artist has control over thier direction-all these contestants don't.

    I just wonder how much the contestants know this. Maybe some do and see it as a price to pay on the road to fame and fortune.
