  • He's not a great singer but he really nailed it at 0:40, there's no doubt about that.

  • @james975 Wow, you really got the spot. The whole beginning was terrible. But the part you mentioned, it really picked up there.

  • @james975 omg! he's a great singer ... amazing voice!

  • I love him! I really do ♥

  • better than the Original !

  • hahahahahahahha

  • Amazing dude.. theres alotta haters that love ur voice here (:

  • I don't like how the top comments contradict each other.

  • Poor song choices. Kings of Leon or NeedToBreathe would totally work.

  • If Coldplay heard this, they would wana kill themselves ...

  • too fast and unecessary yelling...tremendous voice but he shouldve sang it in a tone that better suited his voice. Just my opinion. I think the old man from Young @ Heart did a much better job.

  • I love this!!!!!! he has such a great voice i dont know the nonsense those who have negative comments are speaking

  • The pianist should definitely have slowed down ^^

  • This man has really great power in his voice!

  • check out the boyce avenue and tyler ward cover..

  • Respekt :)

  • he's feeling this song soo hard.

  • I think he sings better. Some parts are also better then from the original..

  • I would love to hear his version of the whole song..♥

  • what are words is awesome!

  • Coldplay's version is unique

  • love coldplay but chris medina has put soul to the song!!!!!!!!!!

  • Best Version Ever!

  • Dude we know that you are good, but please! DO NOT, NEVER SING A COLDPLAY SONG. thank you.

  • Boyce Avenues version is best.

  • @PkCorey Agree.

  • i love how the top comments contadict each other :L

  • @DelGalaxy yeah, u'r rigth xD

  • I think it was good that he didnt go further in idol... i think it was good for his career...

  • oh wait shit sounds better

  • @Karthigan91x  Are you tonedeaf or are you kiddin me?

  • @UIF4ever I don't mind if people do a cover or re'sing the song. But this song is too perfect to be re'sung differently. Nothing against him actually, just don't change the tone of the song ._.

  • @Karthigan91x 0:25 is priceless

  • @Karthigan91x i'm with you

  • song's like shit,

  • Who won Idol?? I bet Chris Medina is more successful than the winner, hohohohoho..

  • wow is all i can say

  • it's amazing. why on earth was he eliminated???

  • that was amazing

  • This definitely deserved a spot in the top 24.... Terrible decision on the judges part

  • Such a talent, such a beautiful human being. Chris Medina you have it all...God bless u and ure family <3

  • Most AMAZING voice!!!!!

  • chills

  • I prefere the original !

  • @salahpcw I'd like this comment if you only had the right spelling...v(--,

  • @theindblaire dude my native lunguage is arabic my 1st foreign lunguage is french then comes english... so : "Je préfére" = " I prefer" Hence people here do not speak french i commented in english and i messed up , thanks though :)

  • @salahpcw It's ok buddy..i'm just making fun...:)..i also do misspelling sometimes...it's the thought, not the letters, that matters by the way...xD

  • @salahpcw The original doesn't really matter, because he's singing this for his wife. That's what makes it special. Look him up if you don't know their story.

  • @southernfeelings I know the story but I still prefer the original, it doesn't mean that I hate this one :)

  • @salahpcw Are you drunk?

    He is amazing!

  • @zRExPeCT are you drunk ? I said that I don't hate this performance thus I like it, but I still love the original ! :)

  • @salahpcw Stop hating hater!

  • @salahpcw Nigga please

  • @SasukeXSofy the original is better, problem ?

  • The judges might not have been familiar with Coldplay... his rendition is terrific!!!

  • Comment removed

  • chills!!! ♥

  • I wish they had a studio version of this song. Anybody have an idea if there is one? This is simply beautiful, his voice is very soothing.

  • wow.This was epic.how could they not pass him with this song.

  • I love his version, great voice & totally blows Coldplays away

  • It's a voice full of love for his engaged woman, it's a lyrical voice.

  • He´s awesome.

  • Yeah cause Scotty is SO much better than him. -_-

    Bullshit! Scotty couldn't sing that good in his best dreams.

  • beautiful

  • Awesome ! I prefer this version of the song !

  • Simply AMAZING <3

    

  • @bardeng I didn't watch the show (I'm not american) but if you think winning American Idol has anything to do with being a good person you're clearly deluded :P

  • Even tho, he got kicked out of Idols idd' love to buy an album with him..

    Know that he has made a song: "what are words"

  • I wonder how he would sound if he sang "Perfect" by Hedley. Just a thought.

  • fuck i am so dissapointed he didnt makeit through

  • is that steve tyler?

  • If you didn't know Chris acually has his own song. It's called What are words.

  • Why did he get voted out?

    The judges on drugs or what?

  • @pornodo Wasn't the judges. It was the voters. JLo cried when he was eliminated.

  • @plaidpantsglory the judges eliminated him... not the voters

  • OMG, you listen to that voice...

  • @ParamoreOwlCity indeed...

  • 0:24 Duckface

  • @SkRyanz lol.

  • you're amazing :) 

  • ** LOVEEE THIS SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH **

    i think chris sings it better than coldplay <3

  • @Allylover1126 sings it better than them ten fold.lol

  • Holy shit, this is awesome, what a talent!

  • It's tough to sing when you're coming from an emotional place, but he as best he could and he did a wonderful job.

  • the 3 dislikes are fools who dont know the story behind this

  • better than original ...

  • Man I love Coldplay and I love Chris Medina. There is really no reason why you have to hate on one version while loving another. The two versions are totally different arrangements. Chris is NOT a Karaoke singer. He is a singer song writer artist. This is why he can take a song and change it up so entirely that it almost doesn't even sound like the same song, yet it is still awesome.

  • please record this song so would buy it 

  • i love this version more than coldplay 

  • @timothydfrank1991 Coldplay doesnt even sing this song lmfao

  • @Buddiegeorge98 humm yes they do....

  • @Buddiegeorge98 ya they do.... idiot

  • @Buddiegeorge98 yeah they do :L

  • his emotion is what i like, and the way he arranges songs

  • You are a model to follow. God bless you and your fiancee.

  • What's up with Steven in 0:24 ??

  • @assassin4332 he was probably zoned out on something................ or maybe he hadn't had his "fix" for the day

  • theres no way he could have gotten voted off if the judges knew this song.. excluding the fact that he sang an entire falsetto song with his normal voice, and that he did his own interpretation on the note arrangement. this is why everyone needs to listen to coldplay on a regular basis.. steven tyler looked like he was watching teletubbies.. meanwhile this guys singing one of the best songs of all time

  • Amazing.. simply amazing

  • Amazing.. <3

  • he's killerrrr. go far chris!!

  • This is bad....can't compare with the original

  • i mean WORSE

  • i like the part when he says "reverse" and "words"

  • 0:23 FAIL

  • better than original much?

  • He doesn't need american idol!

    The whole world knows Chris and his story =) and every heart has been melted by it.

  • this is how deeply he loves his girl.

  • i love this song...keeps hittin the repeat button..........to bad its not in itune..i would of bought it..............

  • He got a record deal! Search Chris Medina - What are Words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @khm3rnigga no shit

  • HOW ON EARTH he didn't win this whole competition

  • he`d look so much better if he got a hair cut.

    other than that, HE`S SO AMAZING!!!!!! ♥

  • "even the best fall down sometime." perfectly fits him. but that doesn't mean that he should give up. he has a long life ahead of him. such a good guy.

  • damn those judges! how could they reject him after THIS?!

  • good guy..

  • This performance always makes me cry! <3

  • when he got voted off, I cried, I cried.

  • i have seen many good ppl go home early (daughtry michael johns and carly smithson to name a few) and when i tuned into it when it was ending i saw the video of him walking to the room and i saw this video and thought to myself that he could be the winner....when i saw him go home i was very shocked and my only thought is this better be the best season yet because he would be in the top 8 or 10 in every other season

  • We know this went to his girlfriend god bless him

  • i think his eyes showed the passion in the song. @ :38 he quickly reminded me of creed's lead singer. and that grin he made in this performance often. I can see that his flow was off but yet it was still powerful lol..crazy

  • This version is much better then Coldplay's although I love his songs too.

  • the one person that disliked,your not human

  • Wrong feel to this song.

  • he spoilt the flow and the soft corners of fix you, his roughness and uncontrollable spoils the song, he does not have the feel the song has its not a fucking pop song

  • When he sings "When you love someone but it goes to waste" it actually sent shivers down my spine.

  • so much better than coldplay...

  • I was shocked when they said no to him. After THAT beautiful rendition of that song, you"ve got to be kidding me. That was a beautiful take on the song, better than the original, in my opinion. What were they thinking. I think they know he's better than the show.

  • Ehhhh, he's great, but he kinda messed the song up for me.

  • chris got talent. chris idol. a long way to go, i salute his professionalism

  • Jesus, when i saw him sing this i thought he can no lie make it all the way to the end. and then they let him go. What the hell were they thinking? Either way i'm glad that we at least got that single he released. It's beyond amazing.

  • @TripleOctaveMusic I love how you say you're not trying to be rude and then give one of the most ridiculous reason to not like Americans...yes I know you're referring to only the singers, but I mean it's just unnecessary. If I had the time I could name off a bunch of American singers (who aren't whitney houston or lady gaga) that don't sound similar at all. Everyone, no matter what country, has their own unique voice. Quick example, Issac Slade and Steven Tyler.

  • this song basically explains his whole story he wants to fix his fiance he loved someone now its gone to waste now u can figure out the rest

  • so the effin chinese guy with the gay glasses gets through but not him OK?!

  • @MAGICMaN2497 dude he's not chinese . his phillipino

  • @CWL13av chinese japanese dirty knees look at theese

  • LOVE his take on this song...the emotion, the piano..LOVE IT

  • I like this version better than coldplays. not even joking.

  • @TripleOctaveMusic

    I agree, it's those parts that stand out the most,  this is the first season of AI I've watched and I can't believe they would let him go, I mean I know the talent is deep, but he is better than many who were chosen for the final 24

  • I'm actually crying. That emotion is unmatched by anyone else this season, and imo that's the most important factor. I get he struggled two or three times in Hollywood, but eliminating him after that gem was a crime. That was the best performance of the season.

  • I actually cried when he got voted off. And I would be lying if I said that I don't cry, 'cause I cry A LOT, but this was emotionall. GOD! He is so talented.

  • I didn't realize he got voted off!! How sad... what an amazing voice he has and a great story too.

  • How did this guy not make top 24...he sings with so much passion, emotion and connection. No one hits high notes like this dude.

    BRING BACK CHRIS MEDINA!!!

  • i'm familiar with coldplay,but i couldn't even tell it was a song from the, Chris made this song his own,and its even more beautiful because he puts so much real emotion to it,it touch my heart god bless him.

  • 0:00 - 1:06 angelic voice

  • i can't stop listening to this. it's just so amazing in every way.

  • I think they voted off Chris Medina because, if he still stay on the show and let America hold his future, no wonder Chris would win this season.. Massive number of viewers watched AI to see him.. and by that.. there will be competition no more...

  • His falsetto is at times is even better then Chris Martin's, he should have tried to maybe bring it down a little instead of just belting the whole song out, but i'm still so shocked he didn't get in.

  • No one on Idol can sing Coldplay. But Chris, has definitely done the best yet out of all the seasons for sure. Stupid choice, I mean, BRETT over CHRIS?

  • Randy,Steve and Jen,

    Change your pick and bring him back. You truly are making A huge mistake by letting him go.

  • The only cause he got voted off it was because he had a sad story and that would bring him "kind votes"....

    If the production didn´t show he´s story he would made top 12 easily

    He´s much better than 7 man´s that are on top 24

    BETTER THAN:

    JORDAN JORSEY

    PAUL MCDONALD

    JOVANY BARRETO

    ROBIE ROSEN

    STEFANO LANGONE  trust me this guy will be back on X-factor ..i hope

  • He was amazing, I hope he continues on. :)

  • i'm not gonna watch american idol again w/o him

  • the judges made the wrong choice sending him home its a shame

  • those voters were stupid by the way. Those who didnt voted him, can they sing like him?

  • This guy was top notch. He should not have been sent home. The country guy with the deep voice was just ok. Medina was much better with the emotion to boot. None of the had it. Abrams should win this competition.

  • it was those chops he did that hurt him.....it is a damn shame that he was voted off because not only was it a great story but he is a great singer

  • Chris.. you are so amazing beyond words... I cried too when you got voted off... please don't stop singing... you are an inspiration to so many... I hope to hear more from you... our love and prayers... some Canadian fans

  • He's So good, they should of let him through.
