  • With Joe McElderry this has now become one great pop song and may be a great crossover pop hit of what started as a good country song. I prefer McElderry's version much much better actually. He made a great job of this song. Even the slightly changed lyrics have made it more suitable.

  • Wow! This is so cool. I never would have known this is a Taylor Swift song, had I not checked the title. Joe sings this arrangement as if this is his own next single. It is that good. And sang live by Joe, it sounds real gorgeous. Even Taylor Swift would be delighted. Somebody should do an even faster club version arrangement of this... honest...

  • I love both the original and the cover I wish there is studio version of this song

  • Joe,please bring out your fantastic ballads on a CD!

    I love your voice and your personaliy and I hope to see you in Germany!!

  • I love Joe McElderry but yeah i would've rather heard him sing being 'juliet'!! it would have been way bloody cuter!

    ♥you Joe

  • Yes,

  • Just listened to Gabe Bondoc's version of Love Story, and I am sorry to say to all of you who say that his version is better than Joe's, I HAVE TO DISAGREE. Joe's voice when he sings this song is absolutely amazing while Gabe's is just ok. This is just my opinion.

  • Looks kind of like Justin Bieber to me, but Joe has a really astonishing voice and he really deserved his victory. I hope he gets far...

  • His voice is f***in increadible!! Amazing!! Sooooo glad he won! :,)

  • Love love love :D

  • ahhh this brings back memories i absolutley think hes amazing

  • I LOVED THIS. i almost cried when he sang this at wembley.

  • I'm kind of used to Taylor's version of Love Story since it is HER song, that she wrote about her life. I just can't see someone else singing it. Music is not just about hitting the right notes. An important part of being a great artist is connecting with the audience and this version just did not connect with me.

  • I really wish he sang the original lyrics. It would have been 100000x cuter if he pretended to be 'juliet' just for that song :') <3

  • Wow he is one babe who can take the close up. This was the Saturday afternoon show wasn't it? I was there... memories!

  • Joe has never been a puppet, that insults his intelligence. You may not like Ambitions, but believe it or not, he chose it and although I too miss hearing his pure voice, I love his album, I can't stop playing it.

  • I saw this in Glasgow, he was really good :)

  • How refreshing to see this!

    Just watch this, and then watch the way he's been performing Ambitions lately with that awful pop puppet dancing - I miss Joe's NATURAL moves!

    And, from the snippets of the album, I miss his VOICE, too! :( So good to hear it again here! :)

  • you know what, i bloody love this guy!

  • i am absolutly with joe, i wanna have a love story with him. i cant wait till his album comes out.

  • i am in love with joe mcelderry, i really wanted to go and see him on the xfactor tour, but i couldnt, and i cant wait for his alum to come out.

  • management have to get permission from the artists.

  • JOE I LOVE YOU FOR SINGING LOVE STORY BY TAYLOR SWIFT <3

  • i love joe to the end of the universe and back. :) xxx

    so unique he's great at this song, and infact, all the other songs he sings...

  • Yeahhhhh gabe bondoccc thaaa man

  • OMG I LOVE JOE MCELDERRY!! <3 i dont think i could live without him and his voice ... :D <3 <3

  • I LOVE YOU JOE!!!!!! <3

  • I heard he came out of the closet and now admits to being homosexual. He sounds soooooo young.

  • this is amazing love this version xx

  • beautiful :x

  • No credit to Gabe? gabe sounds better anyways...

  • Credits to Gabe Bondoc! :) it took took him a while to memorize that song :D

  • I love Joe he is amazing xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • i like his version better

  • Gabe is OK ,but Joe is much much better, just love him. xxxfrom Holland

  • Joe is so cute.. I love him.. From the first moment i knew he won. eventhough I live in the netherlands... When I saw the clip you are not alone from X-factor 2010 I knew itXD haha... He is so beautiful...

  • Extraordinary! What a voice, and he is so so so CUTE!!!

  • i like more gabe's version...who really re-worded the love story......

  • it's even better than taylor's :)

  • love it, seen him at Manchester Arena - just could not take my eyes of them all, so entertaining..

  • I'm in love ;)

    He's such a sweet boy, and his voice is sooooo charming!

  • Hez sweeeeeeeeeet ... =D

  • Sheez, he can be my Romeo any day :) <3 and who cares if he is "stealing" other peoples songs, he is only just starting out after all!

  • i believe he gave credit to Gabe Bondoc, the person who originally rewrote.Joe's a fantastic singer no doubt..but Gabe Bondoc's version is totally swoon-worthy! go check him out =)

  • at least Joe have the courage to stand in front of the people

  • @Rafaelchan Gabe Bondoc does tours as well in the US...he's just going through a different route (more low-key?) doing what he loves to achieve what he wants..

  • I wouldnt mind him being my Romeo

  • Wow! He is amazing. What a fantastic voice and great, caring person he is. Hope for the best Joe! Love this version.

  • He did give credit and didn't steal anything. And I don't know what the big deal is. Contestants from X Factor / American Idol have sang songs from other artists that the original artist does not know about or was not contacted for approval (like Coldplay, U2,etc). It's not like they released it as a single and made money. And if they did, the label, of course, would definitely talk to Gabe or whoever the rightful writer is to get the royalty rights, etc. So, people need to relax and enjoy.

  • @CANate27 OK GUYS WHERES THE PROOF THAT HE GAVE CREDIT?????

  • I hope he gave Gabe credit!

  • People Joe didn't steal it. He was given the song to sing. Unfortunately unbeknownst to him the version belongs to Gabe Bondoc, which Joe gave credit to as soon as he got word. If anyone is to blame it would be the producers. If you knew what a genuine, down to earth nice young man Joe is. You wouldn't even question that had Joe known he would've given Gabe Bondoc his credit at the time. So stop being so judemental!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lost for words.... its that bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @J1G2M3 go check him out...he doesn't need all that back up shit. His music is purely from his heart!!! OTS gabe bondoc!

  • screw this guy gabe is way better this guys voice is anoying

  • fuck hes hot! :P

  • Wow he's brill and this video is really good normaly u can't understand it and it's really fuzzy somtimes (no offence to anyone who made one) anyway it's brill and I  joe lol x

  • yay. go GABE BONDOC!!!! :]

  • hes ush and hes incredible. who carees where the stupiid credit goes? x

  • @AmeerahAmelia1 It is cause that's where I get all of my song's

  • Gabe Bondoc's is still miles better than this rendition.

  • i still say gabe is better <3 ^.^

  • Comment removed

  • i was ther :D

  • ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐Copy & paste if you hate the new layout.

    Do this to every video you watch in hope that they will change it back!

  • Gabe does it much better, so fucing better

  • He should ask i think?

  • everyone pleasego to gabe bondoc's youtube account to see his version!

  • @MsPandasaur YEAH PEOPLE, YOU SHOULD HEAR IT! YOUR GONNA MELT AND BE AN INSTANT FAN! (I KNOW CAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME :D)

  • i still feel that Gabe deserves credit on the show.

  • gabe bondoc ftw(:

  • That sucks that Gabe Bondoc didn't get any credit for Joe singing his version of the song.

  • i love him so much :) xx

  • gabe bondoc. whatta musician

  • Gabe Is Better !

  • if you actually listen carefully to what joe sings they aren't EXACTLY the same as gabe's lyrics. there are very subtle differences throughout the song for example gabe's lyrics say "i had to leave you crying...", whereas joe sings " left you crying..."

    i know it's quite insignificant but the producers' or whoever gave joe the song to sing can still use that to say they didn't steal his exact lyrics because they changed it a little

  • this guy is the definition of a tool

    the definition of it, end of story

  • ILOVEGABEBONDOC :]

  • I hope he gave kudos to Gabe cos his the man!!

  • I LOVE GABE BONDOC :)

  • yay for Gabe''s song! :D

  • 1. If Gabe's version was not amazing, Joe wouldn't have sang it on the first place so to whoever says that this version is not something special- Get a life

    2. Props to Joe for actually giving credit to Gabe. Now i do appreciate him as an artist

  • boooooooooooo

  • i hope GABE BONDOC got credit for him using his version!!

  • @ThePurplepeacock what is the matter with you, people? you can write but you can't read? he got it. I'm sure Gabe is a very talented person, I can't argue that, but you're not being fair to Joe now, are you?

  • @cameliaRO1 oh i respect joe. im all for him. i love how he sings! i didn't get to see the whole part of joes performance from the very beginning. so i dunno if they did or not. they should have cause thats at least what american idol does. they say who the song was written or what version it is so on and so on. im just saying. i have nothing against joe. i thought it was very great :]

  • @ThePurplepeacock Sorry for my aggressiveness. You do have a point. It mightve not been mention in the show, I cant tell for sure, but I dont think this applies only to Love Story, it is just not a practice with x factor, in which case American idol does score a few points here. But the fact that Joe himself used twitter to credit Gabe, as I understood Taylor Swift did, makes it quite official, doesnt it?

  • @cameliaRO1 thanks but you have a point as well. that does count for something. at least im pretty sure. who knows if it actually does in the hollywood business though.

  • @ThePurplepeacock My frustration comes from the fact that theres been a lot of negative comments towards Joe lately, and he as person simply does not deserve it. I cant tell how much you know about him, but in Europe his popularity is due not only because of his great voice and performances but he also strikes as a really normal, down to earth, genuinely nice young guy.

  • @cameliaRO1 really? i didn't know that. thanks for telling me!

    im going to assume you live in europe yeh?

    yeh i see there are a lot of negative comments. they'll soon come around though.

  • If the rewrite wasn't any good, why did they steal it in the first place (and not make their own version) & why did Taylor Swift tweet it? Credit should always be given where credit is due. Gabe's fans are really loyal and we just want it to be known that the humble guy who's been giving us homemade covers/originals for years with just his voice and guitar deserves a lot. It was shabby on the producers' part to take Gabe's exact words that he posted in the description for his viewers' pleasure.

  • maybe gabe bondoc will get a record deal because of this .....

    also did this guy RT gabe's tweet

  • TBH joe atually helped gabe no-one knew who gabe was till joe mentoined him on twitter

  • @Natashaleannex eh hem, i knew gabe all along, i just got to know this guy today! haha and have you listened to gabe singing?

  • listen dont blame joe for any of this joe wouldent steal anything he doesent choose his own songs the producers do so blame them not joe joes so sweet!!

  • Besides, all Gabe did was changed to to a male perspective, or did I miss something? Taylor Swift is the one who deserves credit.

  • Joe doesn't choose his songs, his producers do.

  • This version of the song diloesnt belong to Gabe, whoever he happens to be. Letting him say that it does is like me painting glasses and a moustache on the Mona Lisa and you lot letting me pass it of as my own work- I.e. it doesn't work like that.

    Oh, and you Joe haters, please get a life. And a hearing aid.

  • @charkyem nobody is hating on him...gabe rewrote the lyrics and he is a talented musician and songwriter

  • @charkyem You don't know who Gabe is? Sorry, but he's way better than Joe.

  • ffs sake, first thing its not that hard to change all the male/ female references in the song, secondly I doubt Joe was like 'aw yeah lets steal his version and not credit him' and thirdly just leave the poor lad alone.

  • omg!!!!!!!!!!! i love joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • he must give credits to gabe...

  • @blakpanter17 HE DOES!!! PEOPLE, READ THE OTHER COMMENTS, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

  • joe credited gabe on twitter x

  • Someone please help me. I listened to Gabe Bondoc's version while reading Taylor Swift's lyrics and the only thing I noticed was that it was changed from female to male?

    Did I miss something?

  • damnit he copied gabe bondoc's version >:( hate this dude his voice isn't even as good as gabe's. Gabe has to get credit for this...

  • its totally GABE BONDOC's version

  • i hope gabe gets credit its not fair if he doesn't

  • @samu3ljr he got it on Joe's official twitter account. Please, read the other comments before you post another one. This is getting frustrating for Joe's fans as well.

  • this was gabe's version!! hahaha :))

    i love him!! :)

  • doesn't have Gabe's charm <3

  • pssh, gabe bondoc > joe mcelderry, like to the power 9000+

  • JOE MCELDERRY CREDITED GABE BONDOC ON HIS OFFICIAL TWITTER ACCOUNT!!!! Could you please thumb up this comment so everyone see and have this information. Joe Mcelderry does not deserve this. You're not expecting him to post a comment here, are you?

  • This lad can sing just about anything. He puts such emotion and passion into each and every lyric. His career has only begun. Just wait until he comes to the USA. His stardom then will really sky rocket. I can see why he received over 60% of the votes on the X-Factor. He is that good.

  • booooooo!!! GABE GABE GABE GABE BONDOCCCCC! gabe deserves his credit.

  • WTF this guy better have fricken gave gabe some credit or else all his YT fans will beat him.

  • He needs to give Gabe Bondoc credit!

  • hey everyone!

    sorry i had no clue he copied this Gabe's version.

    have changed my description!

    xxx

  • @wickedchessie1 thanks for changing that! it wasn't your fault, they should've credited gabe themselves

  • this is not "his" own version!!!!! gabe bondoc definitely wrote this remix!! wickedchessie1 u should look up gabe bondoc and edit your description!! and atleast give gabe credit!!

  • This is a little embarassing. This guy is from X Factor, and he's using someone's remix lyrics? I hope to god that he gave Gabe Bondoc the credit he deserves; and this is definitely Joe Mcelderry's version unless there's proof other wise that Gabe copied him.

  • what a fucking RIP OFF.

  • GABE BONDOC =)

  • Gabe Bondoc rewrote these lyrics... why the the fuck is this guy singing it?

  • Joe McElderry - you can't get a better voice, better looks, better anything. He is the almighty, the best at everything and nothing will beat him, don't even TRY and argue. Joe wins hands down :) okay? yes :)

  • it doesn't matter who is better - if joe didn't give credit, that's considered plagiarism. which, y'know, is illegal.

  • @xpeekaboo f'reaaaaaaal

  • Joe is so much better then this gabe guy!!! he is awful joe is amazing! who ever thinks he isn is deff!! and joe is a million times better lookin too!! Joe is the best FULLSTOP. better singer, better lookin!!

  • Gabe is way sexier. (:

    But Joe's not THAT bad, just not as good either. (:

  • Gabe Bondoc's version of Love Story. <3

  • here im after lookin up this gabe guy! are yous all CRAZY!!! joe mcelderry is a billion trillion times better!! god!!! people saying he cant sing obviously cant hear! ugh :@ hes amazing!! no better :D

  • @LovinMcElderry its not the matter of who's better, but importantly this is NOT Joe's version of the song, Gabe rewrote this version and should be given credit for it.

  • Who is gabe?? joe is amazing! and can not find any better!! hes AMAZING!! beautiful and just oh so nice! no one beats him!! xx

  • das sind gabe bondoc lied . gabe ist die beste... halt dann..

  • GABE BONDOC IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER.

  • this guy pisses me off, give credit to Gabe.

  • Not bad. I like the up-beat take on Gabe's song. I prefer Gabe's soothing voice over this though. <3

    Let's hope that he, somewhere in his performance, give Gabe credit for writing this version of Love Story.

  • he's missing the 3D glasses...
