[fiakier]

perfect, even better than the original version. it speaks to me more :)

[XxRachB]

HE SHOULD HAVE WONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!

[LadyMistry]

What a cool voice, we never saw the best of him on x-factor sadly.

[Bethany1308]

He should of won...he's amazing!! xxx

[daniela83b]

his voice is absolutely gorgeous.. I don't think he had the right songs to prove it. he could've done so much more

hopefully he won't let go and still try to make a career out of music. best of luck..

[xxdannixx2009xx]

Should have done so much better on the show than he did! Love his voice! Much better than any of the boys this year!

[feenix2k9]

lizzie loves him

[spaffo]

oh god i loved him. his voice sends shivers through me xxxx

[AndreahBaby]

I loved him !! was so gutted when he got put out

[ZUB41DA]

so sexi!

totally hyperventilating!

<3

[CenasRedDevil07]

Hes Amazing...I Think Im Getting Obsessed Again :O LOL...He Should Have Won!!!

[MrLail]

talented

[waori]

I only just found out about this guy (i'm not from the UK) I can't believe he didn't get further in the xfactor! I think he's incredible and has such a versatile voice. Hopefully i'll see him performing in the future as a self made artist.

[simey1]

This boy is very talented, he was the one that stood out for me from last years X factor and this performance just proves how talented he is really is. He deserves to do well in the music business

[looker768]

his whole band is cute!

[coopz93]

neva mind the final.. he should'a won! his billy jean performance was immence! along with lauras 'falling' x

[ronaldo190172]

How Austin and Laura (White) weren't in the final with Alexandra is beyond me. JLS were very good but Diana (especially) and Eoghan were atrocious

[iimCool152]

Because its all fixed!! Thats Why. Shitty Xfactor. More about making Money than making talent.

[masterkudjo]

He is pure talent, what a scam that he didn't win.

[shabzteamackles]

how could you not love austin lol

[00Skippy]

I want him to record some stuff!! I lurv Austins voice its amazing!!!

[ilystranger]

i loooooove this!!!

[kiramaher]

I wish austin recorded something soon, I absolutly adore his voice and passion =).. id definatly buy an album of his! xx

[jennyyy333]

guy with the shakers haaa ! austin has potentially a really good singing voice :)

[ciz10]

wen he went to simons house simon said 'dat song is goin to change his life' wat did he mean by dat. i want to see him again! great voice :)

[Ising4u93]

he's fucking awesome! the best that ever came out of xfactor!!!!!!!

[SiThMaestro]

he's gonna b playin in fuel - a club in hull!!!

[EveLovesJLS]

where is he now!!!?? i love him

[liseryan]

ohhh does anyone know what austin is up to now? i loved him on xfactor - he was unique and what a voice oh and btw molliebbex it's eoghan as opposed to owen!!!! who should have not been voted out 3rd - sorry alex but been there done that etc!!!!!

[sammyi4]

amazin, fantastic, love them!!!!!!! xx

[Shezellarose]

[luwegian]

fkn brill!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[makeitlastforever]

i love his singing!

[RockxChickx666]

Id love to hear him sing with Adam Lambert from American Idol 2009! wow lol x

[RuiPombosFaro]

You know before i get to know adam, i knew austin and have always rut for him til he got out...needless to say that ive stopped to watch the show..this year the same thing happened with adam, from the moment i saw him he remembered me of this amazing guy and i just wished 'god dont put this another amazing singer out too soon'..he made 2nd but lost for a pub singer guy that you could find somwhere in you downtown but somehow that 2nd place gave him the oportunity to release an album..

[RuiPombosFaro]

...he will finish it after the show tour...i just wished that austin could have had more chances/weeks to be the bomb like adam was every week..adam is amazing but so this guy too..before adam was already an austin in my head and i just dont f+n know what that simons cowel waiting to put this kid in the spotlight in america..for real this kid is incredible and still young..now a duet between these 2 would b amazing yeah..both f+n talented!!!

[RockxChickx666]

I totally agree! I was in total shock when Austin didn't get very far! He had it all, lovely natural voice and looks for the teeny girls, I mean Simon could have made a fortune with him!! x

[chloex0]

im pissing myself at the long pause at the start.

ahaha.

[xJayWalkerx]

if you listen carefully you'll understand that they are so quiet at the start because the radio presenter plays jingle. :-P

[chloex0]

oh yeah silly me (:

[beckadams]

how he went out of x factor so early i will never know.

AUSTIN DRAGE &hearts;

xxxx

[ILUVNY1994]

he is SO hot!! omg i love his style!! he should hav frickin been in the final!! he is AMAZING!! He, Laura and Diana were ROBBED!! They were amazing :)

[jojem69]

This wasnt even his band!!!

[bowenboy1988]

best version i have ever heard awsum m8

[IckleMissVikki]

This is the best version i have ever heard of this song. its brill.

[selminha81]

llove you Austin

[xlouloubelle]

Great stuff- thanks for adding! Love Austin's voice, he should've gone a lot further on X Factor but hopefully he'll do well despite that, he deserves it!.

[CandyCat97]

This IS his song as in his voice matches it.

[pounro]

think he went went solo....

[mentaldave]

I love the silence at the beginning. Austin has a lovely voice, i love it.

[mrj13m]

he messed up at 3:01. But i dont care i rreally wanted him to win the x factor . after he went off i just didnt think it was worth watching

[xaishiteru099x]

omg i was searching this song i mean the full version of Austin's valerie for soo longg..His version is so so brilliant!Luv his voice aswell !thanks for the upload!

[ash4ufaith]

goood

[ohhappytrails]

cool

[crazyharis]

the best ever! great man! keep it up greetz from belgium

[fortchipman1234]

i wonder if those tabs are available

[Diiamonds1]

Brilliant as usual.

Can't get this out of my head actually!

[Jessnics]

i love him he's amazing..

he's not like all the other male singers, his voice is higher and has something incrediible about it.. i was reall sad he went..

[Aardvarked88]

Holy shit the bass player needs to sort his hairstyle out IMMEDIATELY.

[jibliiblioos]

He was the best in Simon's category. Eoghan just annoyed me throughout the whole thing. I don't think i've watched a performance of his without switching over to Strictly :)

[Shellsings]

He has a brill voice.I don't understand why he left so early in the competition he should have been in the final.Alex and Austin were my favs at the begining on the finals.He is singing live here with no effort makes it sound so easy.Someone should sign him what a talent,and you can tell he lives and loves music.

[Jemma031092]

I've actually heard him sing live, before he was on the X factor and he was brilliant. I think he should have won

[chocci3chipp]

loveit! BEST version of that song!

well done

x

[sharmarama08]

austin should of won he had the best voice in the contest i think he should bring this song out i like it better tha amy winehouse's version and even though he did'nt win am shore some one will offer him a record deal if they dont then they r stupid x x x

[IIntermission]

I enjoyed this. How did the likes of Daniel, Diana, Eoghan and Rachel make it further? Nothing against them personally but they lack talent immensely in comparison to this guy.

[Mph177]

Absolutely stunning!!! In more ways than one!

I cannot believe that he was voted out! I wanted him to win!!

[rhysypoo]

He is really good. Strange how other people get through to the later stages and good ones like him get the boot. Tough luck Austin, but all the best for future. Cracking Voice and guitar..

[xJbMcFlyx]

He has got talent

he didnt deserve to go from the x factor :(

[xxampsterxx]

Can He Play The Gutair Then ... Luv Him Soo Much !!

[ikuandi]

this is ace. he has got talent! in more ways than one lol

[vspdz]

he's the best...i'm so pissed off that he had to leave the show

[RayTheGuitar]

I recognise this motley crue from somewhere ..... Great Stuff guys !

[LZeppelin74]

Really enjoyed that. Nice job Austin and band.

[XxAxFraxX]

awesome awesome awesome !!!!!!! :D

so happy he's going on

woo he deserves it :D xxx

[XxAxFraxX]

pff i really don't. :)

[catmaxlex]

And I think that you need to learn how to spell words before you use them.

[shamrockavenue]

ROFL. An overeggageration.

[IloveJamesSutton]

Yeah poo head lol

i would definantly say better then awesome actually so go swivel :P

no seriously Austin is amazing

i love him so much and he should have won x-factor

[MusicRus2000]

I love this band and have seen them loads and loads XXXX I LOVE U JOHN XXXXX my favourite singer and guitar man xx

[minisilver93]

love him i really hope he does well now im still reeling from him leaving =[

[AngelaW71]

Amazing performance. I've always hated that song until Austin sang it!

Lovereignnn - I think everybody knows the petition will not bring him back, it's just a way of showing Austin how much support there is for him out here.

[lovereignnn]

Of course & that's a lovely prospect but I think most people online know about the petition already. It's also titled "Bring Austin Drage Back" rather than "Show your support". I'll be supporting him by buying his album. Guess I'm just getting tired of people posting the same thing everywhere especially seeing as it was a week ago & Austin's moved on haha.

[rachfatcat]

Ditto Angela. Austin definitely has a gift, because he has made me like songs I previously didn't, too. That's the mark of a great singer. ;)

[jonnycag]

thanks so much!!

[toribaby2]

Ohh Myy. he is amazing.

x

[Rocketronnie7]

How he and laura has gone is a joke they have more talent than alot of the other contestant's in there little finger's!

I so think if the x-factor was judged on talent this guy would have won hand's down.

[lovereignnn]

This is ACE btw. Really enjoyed it.

[tattyteddyrockz]

wats with the weird guy shakin a ball thingy

austin is the best - he should release this as a single

SEARCH AUSTIN DRAGE PETITION ON GOOGLE - GET HIM BACK!

[lovereignnn]

That's an egg Maraca - a musical instrument. The petition is pretty pointless if you are intending to get him back. Especially considering the fact that he wants to end his XFactor contract. If the goal is to get him a record contract, he has already been offered deals but wants creative control. Austin has moved on, he is focusing on his future. His fans need to do the same. He is going away to write with his band, we just need to support him on the way & be there to buy the album.

[xJayWalkerx]

lovereignnn

Yeah, you are 100% right!

[lovereignnn]

You're MP on the DigitalSpy Forums right? :) Is the site working for you? I haven't been able to get on it for days. It's driving me mental!

[jochesterb]

the guy shaking the ball thingy, is the bands regular drummer .

[ElectricMcrDust]

Austin is an amazing family!

[Kimotoda]

That was amazing ... Not so sure about the backing vocals though.

[JStevens988]

That was AWESOME!!

[RussField]

Not sure about that other guy's hair but this is brilliant. Really good.

[noorani101]

It's the only one he's put out as a record though isn't it?

That's why I said it.

[shamrockavenue]

Did he release it? I know he recorded it a while back & I thought he simply put it up on youtube lol. I really believe he is far superior to that track anyway.

[shamrockavenue]

That was f'n fanastic. The arrangment, the guiatring and the vocals.

[shamrockavenue]

*fantastic

** guitaring

[noorani101]

Way to go Austin and The Cameron!

Now come on Essex FM, start playing 'Happy Now' on the radio. People want to hear it.

[shamrockavenue]

Nooooo. I hope they never play Happy Now, lol. That is a pop song he wrote a few years & quite cheesy. It will lower his credibility as a musician (even though the guitaring in it is very good) instead of showcasing his talent :P
