Britain's Got Talent - Final - Andrew Muir

[lalalalalanahi]

OMG he didnt choose the song! thats mest up

[maiya562]

also Im a student living by herself

[Mark6024]

This song is not for him. unfair choice. Lennon broke a mold when he wrote this, and it grew even long after his passing.

Lennon had a voice like none other before or since. Not great always, maybe, but incredibly unique. This talented chap was asked to climb the North face of one of the most brutal musical mountains in the world.

[Mark6024]

They both can be pricks...Simon worse. Amanda the rose between two certified thorns.

[dayborne35]

5:52 Andrew said he didn't wanna do that song and that it was out of his hands. Why? Cause the producers of the show made him sing that song :( Despicable!

[TheMauserBoy]

If the contestants don't get to chose their own songs, then its all staged. Producers know wich song is good for someone and wich one is bad, and they probably give him that song on purpose. Simon beiing one of producers wonders me if the whole show is fixed by him. Very big minus for the show.

[MrPigglesworth]

uhm wtf there is already a show for singers its called idol

[wtfEPILOGUE]

he's fucking adorable.



[ronniwitek]

w polsce ten gosc ledwie przeszedlby kasting lepsze sa talenty w polsce bez watpienia.

[rockandswing1]

Ususally I hate what Simon says but in this case he was right. When Muir began to sing I thought the same thing: "he is blowing it down", not because the song (that is wonderful) but because for singing that anyone must know that he will have "defeat" or "tie" nothing less than John Lennon...¡that's hard! That was not a song for him...simple and plain

[binmoab]

He is very cute!! But yeah he didn't do a good job on that song.

[mahler71]

Plumbers earn loads of money.

[cinna71]

wow they dont get to choose their songs i did not know that haha

[bluegrinder84]

JUST A PLUMBER?!?!?!?! ITS THE HARDEST APPRENTICESHIP TO GET THESE DAYS THE UNGRATEFUL TWAT!!!!!

[ihavekankles]

@bluegrinder84

LOL PLUMBERS ARE FUCKING EVERYWHERE AND WILL OVERCHARGE YOU AT ANY OPPORTUNITY, AND ALSO THEY MUST BE RETARDED TO NOT ACTUALLY STUDY A REAL SUBJECT, FUCK YOU.

[bluegrinder84]

@ihavekankles haha i assum a plumber has ripped you off in the past then. they must be retarded but they still ripped you off. what does that say??? hahahahahahaha

[ihavekankles]

@bluegrinder84

lol never called a plumber out in my life, that job is so fucking easy why anyone calls a plumber out to do a job any retard could do ive no fucking idea.

i take it your a plumber and think your some sort of fucking genius?

[bluegrinder84]

@ihavekankles right so obviously you think YOUR some sort of fuckin genius by slating a profession. and i am not a plummer so dont take it that way. concentrate on taking it up the arse like u normally do

[ihavekankles]

@bluegrinder84

"Bluegrinder"? Is that an euphemism? I take it you like to grind blue cock in your anus? Are you fucking gay or what? Fuck off?

[bluegrinder84]

@ihavekankles for a person who thinks he is a genius and belittles a profession that is a pathetic retaliation. "are yo gay or what?" hahahahaahahahahaha

[ihavekankles]

@bluegrinder84

I thought you might have realised that after you resorted to calling me a homosexual I gave up, and lowered myself to your level.  Oh dear.

[bluegrinder84]

@ihavekankles thats better but its gunna take more than going on bout your level to make up 4 that shit before. by the way U R GAY!!

[ihavekankles]

@bluegrinder84

no u

[OMFQT]

guys, what is the name of the background song pls???? from 0:30 ... thnks a lot :))

[hoodedavenger92]

@OMFQT i believe it is called imagine

[OMFQT]

guys, can i ask u, what the name of the song in the background in the beginning? .. thanks a lot :))

[tommyd007]

They chose the song for him, and then Ant and Dec are trying to plaster over that.?

Conspiracy.

[JAMIEISA10]

em fit?

[estibin]

As can be seen online, contestants are basically told what to do/sing and are legally bound not to talk about it: this guy was obliged to sing that song and the judges' reactions were effectively scripted for dramatic purposes. This poor guy's ambitions and aspirations were sacrificed for the sake of 'entertainment'. Watch these shows more cynically, folks!

[meaghend91]

He so cute, and i love his sing!~

[MJMyrna]

It is a great song, but it wasn't the best choice for him. His performance was understated and there was nothing wrong with it. He just needed a song that would showcase his abilities better. I hope he has continued singing.

[snedz1982]

he got well screwed, they picked that song for him..............simon you should have booted who ever picked that for him up the arse

[dancfc13]

@snedz1982 he done it so george sampson to win and i mean simon chose the song for him he did well get screwed

[lalitaa18]

He has an amazing voice but he piked the wrong song!:(

[odoctil]

i agree with simon and amanda

[TheZachZilla]

he sux!!!

[hornyarab11]

@TheZachZilla AGREED

[MrBoxGamer]

he kindda looks like da lil kid frm DIVERSITY i 4got his name

[TheLyricsGuy]

i like how peirs is the mean one in america's got talkent, but hes the nice one in biritain's got talent... lol

[mijamz]

@TheLyricsGuy he is actually softening up in America's got talent and Howie is more blunt. lol. But I see what you mean.

[225julien]

it's true that producers pressure the acts, but he had the right to sing the song that he sang at the audition, i dont think he would have won, even though i absolutely love him, george sampson was already huge before the final

[bobby9307]

should have sung paolo nutini 'new shoes'

[2468oldschooltimes]

he needed a different song..perhaps an upbeat tempo to utilize his capabilities. too bad ...he has potential.

[farhan3d]

Very poor performance

[gustavoclopes]

Poor guy... I liked him very much, but he picked the wrong song for his voice.

[loopylozzie01]

my maths teachers name is Mr Muir...weirdd!

[hellsfire586]

not really...

[GamesJ0e]

Wow.. My old maths teachers name was mrs Muir- No joke

[JoeJonasFanDanger]

Yeah, Go Piers!! I love Andrew !! Whatever if he makes mistakes about the vocal etc.. he has a great voice and he's hot (: !!

[The0thEspada]

Dam.... go piers o.o

[gregoriodavila]

I have to agree with them. Although he did sing well it's not the right song for the type of voice he has. I watched both the performances just before this one and really liked him so I wanted him to do well, right when I heard what song it was I knew he was gonna loose. It has no energy at all. I felt bad for him.

[Menhiria]

i think this bloke was way too nervous on that evening, well after all it's quite a nerve-racking situation for one to encounter himself/herself in, so I give him all the credit for having the guts and the stamina to face such a tremendous event such as this. :-)

[Lizshava]

que cuero es ete chiko y una linda voz..

[juzzywuzzy]

its a nice song. its sung nicely. its nice.

it needs to be sang impressively and theres no particular note that really makes you reach out to him.

[yubbers123]

Hey Braniac- Issues much?

[yubbers123]

:( Terrible. As a vocalist he is not holding his notes, or even hitting them (and that doesn't just mean hitting "high" notes). He's completely off key. I've heard better performances on the random at karaoke bars. I feel bad for this dude. He seems to love it, but there are more to vocals than just loving it.

[Brainiac83]

Get the fuck off internet.

[MaxWindshear]

I didn't like the clothes. He should have chosen a song that showed off his vocal range, since he didn't, you have to assume that he doesn't have one. There was no real "wow" moment in the song, and a couple of notes that went bad. Having said that, I still think he has a great voice and tone. He's got what it takes, he just needs to push himself to the next level.

[rainerfilm]

Someone please tell me the name of the song.

[mejstro]

imagine

[katyshearsmith]

Imagine, by John Lennon

[kkiisu006]

it's good.. and i like it. :)

[jefferyemj]

didn't like the song, never did when john sang it, but Andrew sang it beautifully.

[BiliZ]

fcuk you judges

[akethekop]

he was a good performance .

but why the judges judge like this ?

are they insane ?

[soloskatervideos]

i feel bad for him'

[nomiob]

i m sure the producers of show chosen this song for him, and judges just destroying him judges dunt need to do that,,, his good :)

[yankeessuckass1]

@nomiob but don't forget that simon cowell is one of the producers

[nomiob]

@yankeessuckass1 well, I dont think he gets involve this kind of detail ;P

[Braniac10]

i thought that was ok , but the judges were jerks!

[kittyiswatchingunow]

okay why r ther so many cruel comments? it's not THAT bad!

[musykmac]

i love that song!

[misceceiliafang]

i love his personality! and so handsome(:

[mxer525]

this songs very good for his unique voice, but i still like john lennons versions better

[guitarsrock137]

wooo we share the same name

[sramosC441]

suck my dick judges

[tukitaita]

IMAGE JOHN LENNON

un tema demasiado dificil de interpretar...

[tuerknopf4444]

Cruel, what comments. Why make people feel bad about them.

[Sarah7654]

Hell no. No fucking person can pull off John Lennon. Pick another song. Its too amazing. But anyways,he's pretty good(:

[mik3yl4d]

Haha John Lennon :L

[exceptthatimnot]

Apoligies...PM's love theme.

[exceptthatimnot]

It's from love actually Glasgows love theme by craig armstrong.

[EatYourBloodyGreens]

What's the song that runs in the background from 0:30 - 1:04?

I think it's from a film but I'm not sure.

Cheers in advance if anyone replies.

[qsedf28]

I heard it in "Love Actually", but i dun know the name of the song

[BEKAHmurphy]

i met him last night xD

haha, he is soooo nice

[acousticlynew]

John lennon, imagine, brilliant song but wrong song for him to sing imo.

[horror623]

at 5:55 andrew starts to argue with simon that he did not want to do the song, and it was not in his hands, and simon totally blows it off...this was set up for certain people to have the chance to win!

[BHQuicksilver]

I was wondering about that. why did he do it, did the producers make him?

[xsroarer]

Nice songs are meants to be shared and relived over and over again. If he finds life in singing that song. no one can stop him. (:

[Chris1888]

whats wrong with himm singing a song?

just because the beatles sang it means its a no go...fuck off! get a grip of yerself.....if no 1 was allowed to sign songs already been done then it would be a very boring series dont ya think?

dicks

[SNovotny86]

Äs far as I know, it was just John Lennon by himself, but other than that I agree with what you said

[NorwegicusOnAstick]

Its the most boring song ever made, so no one should be allowed to sing it.

[joeyhemming]

it wasnt his song hes awsome singer shame he didnt come back this year

[betty0swollox]

why the fuck are people allowed to sing this song it is 1 of the greatest songs ever written and shouldnever allowed to be copied

[azzaRONALDOFAN]

ur dam right the beatels made this and no1 else shud sing it

[SNovotny86]

John Lennon did, not the Beatles

[crisis1991]

Get over it.

[lovestory3000]

what a choice...i wonder how he made it to final !

[unbelvbl]

Simon is right, he blew it. But i think there is more than plumbing waiting for him. he sings beautifull, it was just not the song for him.

[197919922000]

and he didn't even choose the song by himself...he had to sing it.

[potentialcarnie]

Manufactured consent.

[KevinFightstar]

Watch out for him on The X Factor 2009, He was at the auditions!!

[maysausage]

omg was he !

Hes My distant/close relative :D

I swear He Isnt in the 2009

But i duno thanku any way

x x x

[KevinFightstar]

He was deffinatly at the audtions coz he sat right next to me, he got through the first few rounds so i don't know how far he got, but the auditions are over now and i haven't seen him so maybe he didn't make it to the judges.

[YaWatBruv]

who u on about

[Austyg]

Sadly, he has no musical experience.

[mishkline]

shame.....

[Zelkbro]

No comments...

[NanaMchedlidze]

if it is a talent show, I don't understand why the choice of a song should influence the judgment? I mean he sang well and why would they trash him because they would like him song another song?

[xduckssneezex]

the song did not suit his voice, plus it is a pretty basic song with nothing in it to show off a persons' voice anyway, even someone with an amazing voice would only be able to make this sound okay. They trashed him because they were manipulating the audience into thinking he didn't deserve to win.

[amirfi3]

is this andrew muir the one that studying accounting in strathclyde??

[PostalNation]

Simon was right -- he totally blew it. He should have sang a rockin' number like "Soul Man" or "Shout". But "Imagine"??? Hell, even John Lennon wouldn't have sung it at the final!

[jandank]

Andrew was told what to sing by the producers of the show. They gave him no choice. When he tried to point this out they cut away from him.

This has been widely reported in the press.

This is a highly manipulated show, and for what ever reason they set him up to fail in the final round.

[brabon1]

the performers dont get to choose their own songs?

uh oh

another scam, just like american idol

[MrAnnonumous]

yes they do they don't come in and get told what to sing

[PugitProductions]

hahah. he's adorable.

[AnubisEvalyna]

It's horrible that they made him choose this song.

They trew his future away because it's not the right song for him.

I say let him him sing a Robbie Williams song or something, I think he'd be great with stuff like that.

[clairens]

this was a really bad choice of song..whoever made it, i mean the choice. it is not suited to show off a person's talent..it is a very meaningful song, but no technical difficulties in it, which is important to show a singing voice. I am sorry...i agree with simon on this one. but he didn't blow it! and he didn't murder the song.. But the guy has a good voice, i wish he put together a band or something and make an album, to listen to him sing on the radio, TV or youtube.

[katheriiney]

the judges were right.. he was crap!

[xDarkxKnightx]

He might have done better with a different song, He was forced into the damn thing

[ChrissieH25]

he is a g8 fella !!!! so pissed off he cudnt do what song he wanted to do

[Tinkerbell7878]

I don't think he was supposed to tell us that the producers pick the songs. I think that is why he didn't win because he let a big secret out!

[georgiabiker]

he's good but sings a bit one-dimensionally. and nasally a bit. nothing against him, but i can understand the criticism.

[binashraf]

whats wrong with being a plumber? :-P im a plumber! lol, who am i kidding

[polkadotrock22]

WTF!!! I'm so pissed with the judges! They aren't suppose to be judging the song they are judging his talent!!!! And he so should of won not that Sampson kid. That kid can't dance. I hope he gets signed up with someone.

[redhairkid]

He handled this song excellently. What were the judges thinking?

[4king2queen]

oh damn, I couldn't believe that .. producer made him sing that song anyway, and he didn't have any choice .. and Simon is blaming him for that, come on !!! what is wrong here ??!!

Muir was ten times better than this sampson kid, ridicilous ...

[1micro]

people told him he wasn't good enough? ..are they retarded?

[kuroganeblack]

That poor kid. So the producers pick the songs for the performers??

[rbkarson]

To bad, this is def. not the song for him at all!!

[decodung]

His body is fit but sadly, he's not really fit for this song :)

Anw, look up to him :)

[millarbabeee93]

hes so fiiit:D(L)

he had a wee baby and called her andi :D

shes so cuteee(L):D

xxxx

[RaverUnitedLol]

Yumm. He's quite fit :)

[elnino559]

that sounded karaoke

[louiswwemaster]

ur plummer less of the your!!Lol

[FerchoCamilo]

i love my plummer. he understood the story of the song. those 2 judges were high.

[Shameless1AtL]

Thats the horrible thing about this show. The producers pick the songs. They have the ability to influence votes by song choice. I think he would have done better with the right choice!

[majeczka999]

great! love this song, love him, ;)

[mauhlaslover]

Great voice but not the best song choice, it wasn't fit for his voice... =/

[mousedragons]

sad that he couldn't choose the song.. that's not fair

simon makes piers look so nice and sympathetic

[ShockPole]

Apparently, he was forced into this song by the producers.

[2AlkAlina2]

Not the best choice but still.

[I love the scotich accent so much!!! :] ]

[kitanosamike]

such a wannabesinger in the final ? u got to be kidding me...he destroyed a fantastic song with his awefull voice

[lazy89boy07]

read wikipedia, about the controversies about Andrew. He did not want to do this song, but he didn't have any choice. You can even see in the end he said he didn't want to do this song and it was out of his hands

[HikariDragonRyuu]

he rly wasnt very good...

[nappy16]

he was ok - i don't think any1 could really pull off imagine, john lennon sets a high standard after all

[JonathanCondie]

I seen him today haha!!! at the local chip shop omg!!

[superwawa]

to slow sing a so g likethat and keep the melody good is very hard, even if he doesnt soujjnd so good, i think he sounds good though.

[o24681o121416182o]

It really does not sound good ......

[kentttj]

Anybody can sing that song.

[ismailtabla]

rththgfhfgh

[mlinked]

He got the most votes out of any to go into the final but the producers didnt want another singer to win because ppl would see it as a singing show.

[ismailtabla]

fgdgdfgdfgfd

[mlinked]

huh? Is that you're thing? Just type random letters?

[ismailtabla]

edklglkdfjglksdgfvhfghjgfhn

[adeleisamazin]

OMG STUPID JUDGES

it wasnt even his choice of song, the producers chose it. the judges can put a sock in it

[basas00]

He could win, but last song wans't perfect and he sliped.

[pumpkin2244]

I thought he sounded good. What was so bad about it?

[thebeautiful1s]

i dont know if it was his nerves or what, but he sounded seriously off...

[acerflots]

he's modest but not so shy... i'm really going to stalk him in schotland :p just let me fix my bike and i'm off!! maybe i'll be done in the summerholidays... but am on my way! :D love the guy and singing

[stanzi2510]

he is soooo hot, but i think he has choosen the wrong song..

[thebeautiful1s]

i agree with you... but for min i had a john lennon flashback lol... look at him haha.

[rahla53]

no, no, it has Paul's look...

[Mattbroon2468]

ok i actually know him in person he's a friend of the family he argued with the bosses at grandad to try and get a different song but they refused and piers was right it wasn't as bad as amanda and simon said apart from the high notes that he completely missed he was fab

[torresmocomgeleia]

wow....simon was so harsh....the song choice was bad...it wasnt right for his voice..but apparently that wasnt his fault

i think its silly for someone to pick a song for your voice when youre the one who knows it best..

and i think he still did pretty well anyway....and his voice is fantastic...i'd pay money to see him live so i hope he makes it.. =]

[Holyeus]

I think it's unfair for Andrew. He should have been allowed to choose his own song since he is the one singing and he knows his own voice and own capacity!

[BetweenWords]

simons just siding with amanda because hes a pussy

[LOLABASS87]

Why do all the singers audition for this show why dont they audition for x factor (with the exception of paul potts because he is opera)

[o3okitten]

ugh i wish the devil would just pop outta no where and murder simon in the bloodiest painfullest way ever!

[burtondylan100fan]

What do you mean?? He's brilliant, he's humble, he's charsimatic...Damn Simon!

[kjo14]

that to bad.. they cant pick their own songs
