  • He seems to lack breath, and his voice is noticeably higher that Bobby Darin's. I don't think those are the adecuate voice qualities for that song, but it's only my opinion for a constructive critic

  • @zerghalo2 ok i'm sure he will take that into consideration!!!

  • @californiawiting Very amusing!

  • My mistake Pop Idol ! X-Factor - Pop Idol same entertainment don't you think?

  • @Charliedog4040 I get what you are saying but Pop Idol was actually still a British type of show. Slimey Cowel tried to make x factor into an American OTT show like American Idol. If we're British we shouldn't try to emulate others.

  • Loved this style and up beat. Is it me or sis WY sound better when in the X-Factor?

  • @Charliedog4040 Will Young was NEVER in x factor, he was in the very first Pop Idol.

  • thanks aligary for letting me know istill like this of will you will never change my mindsorry about the other fellowzzzx

  • Nice arrangement! Well done Will! (^-^)v

  • Pathetic little weak gay voice. He just hasn't got the style and interpretation maturity for this. Charles Trenet would be sad about this.

  • @577666 He wasn't very mature then and he also was given the song to sing in the audition by Pete Waterman 9 years ago. He is amazing these days.

  • @577666 Will Young is a good singer. He gives this song a light touch, but it's really well judged. Charles Trenet would be pleased. :)

  • Fail

  • SAMBOMASTER

  • Come one now, not knowing who Bobby Darin was is pretty hard to believe. I'm quite a bit younger than Will and I know who Bobby Darin was. However I agree that Will was just doing the song he was given and not trying to be Bobby Darin.

  • @Elspth88 You are American, therefore you could have grown up hearing his music. I'm a lot older than Will but never heard that much of Bobby Darin in G.B although I knew of him at the time.

    When Bobby Darin was mentioned to Will on Pop Idol 9 yrs ago you could see him actually mouth the word "who" with puzzlement in his eyes. I still have the recordings.

  • Who the hell does this guy think he is?? BOBBY DARIN IS THE GREATEST!

  • @jimmybrown11111 Will Young never pretended to be Bobby Darin!

    He was given this song to sing by Pete Waterman on the show Pop Idol UK almost 9 years ago. He was too young to know who Bobby Darin was and actually said so.

  • @jimmybrown11111 I tell you who he is...one of this countries best singers!!!!!

  • super

  • dont like it.. it isnt clear and too much big tremble...

  • Very strange vibrato... almost a "tremble" in his voice...

  • @waltandrus - Think you;ll find its nerves!! You don't hear it since he won - I dod notice it during pop idol - bit still loved his tone!

  • @finnmcool  I don't think it's nerves, it's a character of his voice. You still hear it 8 years on. I like it.

  • He has a very good voice. Very clear. Never heard of the guy until I saw him on American Idol.

  • piece of shit

  • @Th0m4sSi Guess you were the only one sitting down when the rest of the planet gave him a standing ovation then :) .... hehehe

  • @EvoRevoLive The rest of the planet, are you sure? ahahah i don't think ;)

  • @EvoRevoLive The rest of the planet? Are you sure? I don't think... Ahahah He is an insult to Bobby Darin.

  • You have to ask why you have visited this one twice! Why look? Unless you can assure us you are in the Music business you are not in a position to call some innocent bloke a peice of shit - Neither am I - which is why I don't cruise other peoples sites and post negotive stuff. .

  • @finnmcool i visited this page to answer to the coments. Nevertheless, it's stupid to think that only the persons who are in " Music Business " can judge ;) I think to Tokyo Hotel, they know a huge success but their musics are shit. I would like to say that this is not because many people like that is necessarily good ;)

  • Will is an amazing singer, a natural talent. This was effortless.

  • That's why he was in skins last week, you lot are sad but you must have searched to watch the video!!! Tossers

  • oh shut up. seriuosly, why comment on this with just "faggot" its really so immature, if you dont like it dont comment on it, simple, he's and amazing singer and has had more albums out than you ever will. as lainey2706 said. a class act. so shut up and fuck off. :)

  • I never had to worry about bum notes when will performed on pop idol. I wish he'd sing his newer songs in a lower pitch - he's getting a bit squeaky! I love Will!!

  • The best singer to come out of one of these reality competitions!

  • Lovely seeing that again. A class act.

  • Mmm...Classics... I can remember Bob Darin singing this song. So diffrent, but awesome too

  • What A Song Classic Will Young!!!! :D

  • Compare this to X-factor. Pop Idol seems way more sincere and down to earth. X factor is the mutated giant incestuous elephantiasis-inflicted offspring of Pop Idol.

  • Much better than those shit contestants this year on X Factor

  • He looks especially hot here...i'm not sure why

  • HE IS SOOOO SEXY I LOVE WILL <3

  • I didn't know he could sing this low!!! I completely didn't recognise his voice. Absolutely fabulous =] as always

    Full of surprises, that Will Young.

  • hes really good, his voice is quite old fashioned sounding :)

  • his voice is just unique...powerful and clear at times..

  • Eh, I don't care for this version. It lacks some of the power you can put into this song. I think there was just one part of this entire performance that truly had charisma and style, and that point lasted for all of 10 seconds. Will is probably great at what he does, this just isn't his song.

  • One of my favourite songs..and I love this version! Saw him sing this live, wondeful!

  • I'm sorry. Just my opinion: I don't like his voice. He is vibrating WAY way too much.

  • Good voice!!!!

  • jus so - so people ! not good !

  • Geez, this is very good! Very classy and just nice.

  • He's the original Idol :)

  • I actually wish he had sung this just a few tones higher, he definately has the range and I think it would have sounded fantastic!

    But I still LOVE this man's voice!

  • But I love his lower range, he's got such a nice tone to his voice. Sounds really sexy to me. :)

  • best version of this song

  • I definately agree with you

  • Will is such a nice person too, he's a great package.

  • the original was Charles Trenez ,numpties

  • Heis vibrato is very well developed, however he uses it WAY too often. Also, the lengths of his notes are pretty much opposite from the original. I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much.

  • He's so cute!! :)

  • he is!

  • Will sings this very well, but you just can't beat the original....Bobby Darin ftw.

  • I love Will singing this it's better than the original

  • I agree

  • HOW RUDE! Evil Sam no wonder you've named yourself this. Actually I'm 43 and definately not retarded I have taste.

  • who yhe hell do u think u r

  • His voice is so SMOOOOOTH and unique. He's great.

  • Wioll Young is just so heavenly to look at in this video. He is so such a swing singer he's got the moves, the looks, the cheeky boy charm, he's just such a brilliant natural performer I love him!

  • For me, this was the single best performance on any music-based talent show. I'm no fan of Will Young, but the guy fucking nails this song.

  • this was nearly 9 yearsago thats why he dont sound that good. youtube. will young leave right now or will young all time love. then see what you think.

  • That's how they sang 50 years ago, it was the style. But maybe you just watch whatever's on MTV and don't appreciate the classics.

  • Haha. Listen to the songs they sang 50 years ago. They were much better than this kid. You obviously don't have a very acute sense of hearing if you think what this guy is doing is the same as what they did 50 years ago. If what you're referring to is vibrato then they still do that nowadays. It's just his vibrato makes him sound almost like a sheep.

    He's done a few good songs, but I just don't think jazz suits this guy.

  • i am singin this at stagecoach and it is such an amazing song

    i luv it

  • Great version.....

  • Will Young is hotttttttt.

  • @showtunesman89 could'nt agree more :D

  • another amazing performance by will here. why do people come on here and comment on his sexuality or things not even related to will. you should be commenting his peformances so get a grip and take your arguing somewhere else. love you will

  • Like this song and he's not that bad

  • ha ha just flicking through wills songs..skimming through comments and here's 2 guys rowing over germans!! come across anything in the comments

  • he sounds ACE on this ... well done will you're brilliant

    what the hell are the other comments about below ...

  • OMG I LOVE WILL!

  • i <3 will young

  • Aw he's so cute!

  • This is without a doubt my favourite of all songs he has sung.

    Amazing clarity in his voice...love it

  • I've been browsing for the last hour, another great version of this song apart from Charles Trennet's, Bobby Darin, Kevin Spacey, Tom Dixon, etc., etc., etc. and this is not bad at all! Attuned voice, feeling and swing!

    Really fine! Not the best, perhaps, I know but rather good for the ears! Liked his version.

    Cheers from Mexico City!

  • OMG..reading this stuff..well,what a Bunch of FREAKS!

    What an excuse to sound out, just cause Will is gay, ...guess I just want to say>>>GET LOST.....!!!!!! Comment on the music, comment on Will, just leave your tiny lives out of it! Get a grip people!

  • Aren't we supposed to be commenting on the music here? Anyway I don't have a problem with him being Gay. I love this song and think Will performs it really well, So glad he won and he has improved so much. Thks for Video.

  • He really reminds me of Robbie Williams in the looks department.

  • For those who are interested, Will's new album, Let It Go, is out on 29th September, and the first single, Changes, is released a couple of weeks before then.

  • i dotn care what ppl tihnk, he has an amazin voice and he suits this song he should do this stuff more often :)

    go will!

  • Its amazing how the americans commenting go on about him being gay. He was on Pop Idol for 12 weeks and it was never mentioned. He came out after winning and its still no big deal. He is treated with respect, even by our awful gutter press. Why is it still such a huge issue in the US. You guys really need to get over it.

  • America still has rampant homophobia unfortunately. Even Barack Obama distances himself from Gays. Its quite off putting

  • I agree, As a gay American I Have lived in Europe for 5 years and Sometimes I find myself say, What in the hell did I come back over to the US for.  It really suck ass.

  • Maybe you need to be there to be out and proud and to try to change attitudes. 14 years ago I worked in Orange County CA for 2 yrs and was totally out and met with no homophobia so its not everybody everywhere of course. Its religion and mid america who seem to call the shots and till they drag their asses into the 21st C I guess it will not really change. Shame on Obama as a minority himself he should simply know better.

  • he totally fits the song!

  • Does this video need the comments to be approved?

    Why is the last comment from 1 month ago if that isnt so??

  • wow really cant believe there are still such narrow-minded people allowed out of their cages! will young is amazing raw talent! gay, straight, bi or necrophilliac! get back in ur cave u homophobic little wankers!

  • Yeah, arses are all you can think of the whole day...

  • one in three? LOL, keep on dreaming and wishing. Why are actually so many videos of children added to your favorites?

  • Omg Will Young Is Amazing! Even If He Wants Pink Towels In Africa...I LOVE HIM xXx

  • I hope his parents are going to disinherit him.

  • What the hell? Why should they?

  • Because he has defiled his family's honor.

  • How on earth has he done that? He is well liked, and his family is proud of him...?

  • If my son fucked little boys and animals I would saw off his eggs.

  • Excuse me, but Will young is neither a pedophile, nor has he done any sort of bestiality. He is gay, yes. But he's also one of the nicest men I've even met, and he has made his family very, very proud.

  • You have just admitted his being gay and still you controvert that he goes for boys and horses?

    That's a contradiction.

  • Being gay doesn't mean that a person likes children and horses. That is a total (and I think intentional) misconception on your part!

  • Come on, you can't deny that gays are abnormal.

  • Some gays are abnormal, yes. But then, some straight people are abnormal as well. It doesn't matter if you're straight or gay, just if you're a good person. Will Young is an amazing person. And I must admit that I've met many gay people who I would leave my boyfriend for, merely because they were such good people.

  • Okay, that's your opinion.

  • Yes it is.

  • My God I so assumed that you were from the US but your are German!!! Shame on you, I know that YOU know better. Stop the stupidity little boy.

  • Why do you only expect Americans to place value on ethicality? If my son becomes gay I will abort him afterwards. It will be MY son, so I will be allowed to do with him what I want.

    If you want your son to be homosexual it is your (good?) right. But wait ... you will never have children.^^

  • After that message I am sure that you are just being silly and trying to get people to enter into some kind of stupid, worthless debate.

    Would your time not be better spent looking up vids about Nazi's and using your sad need to argue with the commentators there.

    btw - I have Three childrean and embrace then all for what they are and who they are.

  • So, you ace your wife? That's very perfidious.

  • sorry I did not understand ur message 'ace' 'perfidious'?

    Assuming you mean left my wife, no actually. I have three children with my gay partner (my sperm btw) and the only thing that saddens me is that they will be exposed to ignorance and stupidity such as yours. Otherwise we have a wonderful life full of love and respect. Whatever went wrong in ur life I can only assume has badly affected u and for that you have my pity. Regardless you r now a grown up and its time to grow up and get over it

  • According to the Longman Dictionary "to ace" is a slang word for "to cheat", and "perfidious" means "traitorous" or "deceitful".

    I didn't know that your government allows you to have children. Can you actually think about the feelings and needs of your fellow citizens, such as "your" children, or is having and claiming your "rights" at all hazards more important for you?

  • where the hell do you live, it must be some tiny Bavarian village with 3 people and a horse (and maybe no TV or News papers). Of course my Government 'allows' it, as does yours. btw - we can even marry and have full legal rights. My Children see NO wrong and will NEVER see any because they, they are intelligent enough to know that the wrongs lie with other people, which you display so clearly. I am so sure you are pretending, you can not be this ignorant to real life.

  • U r wasting time aren't u & just being silly. As u r incapable of listening & learning lets try a different tactic. Ur belief is just that a 'belief' and u r entitled to that. Facts are though 90% of child abuse is carried out by men on young girls and the vast majority of recorded caces of beastality is by hetrosexual men. U r German who were responsible for the worse attrocities in recent history. FACT. How dare you throw stones & judge little boy. Marriage = Same Sex parnership - religion.

  • "U r German who were responsible for the worse attrocities in recent history."

    haha that made me laugh. Using that to justify anything you say makes me think you are not secure at all with what you are saying. pff!

  • You need to read through the stupid arguments I was responding to. I used this argument purley to show how futile his argument was. Its stupid to say that Germans are responsible for the worse atrocities... but equally its stupid to spout nasty homophobic abuse and dress it us as a valid argument.

  • Could only be german.... or american!

  • What a SAD person you must be in your horrible little world where you feel that you and only people like you rule. Do you not have any education and are you really THAT stupid or are your comments intentionally silly just to wind people up? Even if that is the case, it is wrong as some people will think that you are serious and god forbid may actually use your opinions as an example. If not then have you naver heard that the person who protests TOO much is the one to question?

  • Your a nazi fuck. that just cant keep your own mind off little boys horses,and whatever other freaky shit there is. Hes more of a man than youll ever be. He can sing and Act. what can you do but spew hatred. your a nobody lol lol just a joke

  • If your parents read this maybe they would do the same..... but then again probably not. After all they probably gave you your bigoted arian views

  • usually i prefer i nice velvet low-mid baritone vocal on this song, but this guy actually pulled it off with his higher pitched vocal range.

  • Oh Will, what can you sing that sounds awful? Absolutly nothing. You could sing Ave Maria if you wanted. Fantastic!!!! 10/10

  • this song is done the best by robbie williams. as performed at the ending credits of finding Nemo. this is because his voice is fully matured.

  • when a right song meets the right voice.

    brilliant!

  • This song really suits his great voice!! Love it! xxxx

  • Love Will and love this version of the Bobby Darrin classic.

  • a w s o m e ! ! !

  • i just realise for this song his voice abit like chipmunks...this is better version rather than the electronic version....

  • Not as good as the original at all, but still very good. He needs to sing it softer, their is a sharp twang in his voice that needs to be softened.

  • wot a brilliant artist...excellent.

  • Didn't really watch Pop Idol till big band week and my sister kept telling me to watch to see how good Will is. Being the skeptic I watched with my highly critical hat on and was enchanted by this performance. With hardly any professional outings and then to deliver such a vocal........I became an instant fan.

  • Ah BIG BAND week on Pop Idol one. How I loved this and still do. Also love 'I won't dance,' which is, as well as BTS, is on The Big Band album ( for anyone that might not know.) WiLLs vocals are amazing on it.

    Off topic, I'm so looking forward to album number 4, wonder what will be on it and wonder just when will it be released?

  • needs some stage presence. stop moving that arm and start using facial expressions. great voice though

  • Sack stage presence this guy's unreal, when the ipod's on who cares

  • dude =)

  • My favourite Will song - he is great isn't he!

  • Will Young deserved every bit of success. Lets hope it continues. Have seen him in concert twice....superb vocals!!!

  • Will Young is super ! And such a cutey !

  • I loved will, he was fantastic. You have some great video's, thanks for putting them on. Do you have the one where he had a go at Simon? Cheers
