  • I actually agree with Simon. In the respect that his vocals were a BIT shaky during the first parts of the song. But he finished strong. But we know he has the voice. As he said he was probably just really nervous

  • he is not natural at all, I would have him sing for the cartoons.

  • does dean wilson's mom is a filipina?I thought so....I could tell from her face...

  • singing boys are sooo hot...

  • did he win, if not how long did he last?

  • @Zobaire90 no he didn't :(

  • Made me cry

  • you mean WEST SIDE STORY

  • Why are people hating on the song?! IT'S FROM WEST STORY.

  • @TescoShampoo West Side Story?

  • He should have gone through!

  • Is it just me or are they always putting him in sleeveless tops?

  • @thesinginggirl012345 They? Doesn't he dress himself? I don't think they made him wear it. And he is probably dressing the part of the show West Side Story. He was singing a song from West Side Story and dressing the part.

  • @Peggycass Actually on shows like this they have a "costume" section -as so to speak. The show hire people to pick out what they'd wear. I've seen all of the video's of this guy performing on this show and I'm just stating that in every clip he's wearing a sleeveless top. Mearly stating a fact. Thanks anyway.

  • The problem is music theatre singers are the best in the world. Any time you put yourself against the best there is...the comparison is going to be tough.

    and music theatre is a terrible format for this out of context show.

  • did dean ever come out with an album??

  • 3.27...That's what she wants to do to his cock.

  • Sort of hard to listen to this song without bias after you've heard the duet between Leona and iL Divo. El Divo. La Diva. Whatever. That version is sensational.

  • he reminds me of the singers who sing in Walt Disney's movies like aladin, almoast the same voice :)

  • i dont understand why people hate simon if its just the truth :/

  • Strange smile. Looks like he filed his teeth to make them all even.

  • @enladude Audience are idiots. Simon knows what he is talking about!

  • like zac efron singing was his dirty little secret

  • @BrokenHeartedLover25 Zac Efron was in Drama at Arroyo Grande High School and he sang in the plays at school, plus he worked at the Melodrama in Oceano, Ca.

  • Simon is a professional critic, he does not kiss up, nor go with what the audience says, he goes with what HE thinks and knows is good. I like the man, he says whatever is on his mind, regardless of what others think, I am more or less that way, but I want to be even better, like Simon.

  • Give Simon a chance, people. He's the best critic anyone can get. The other two may flatter a lot, but Simon is actually blunt in a good way.

  • i so agree with simon

  • OMG i can't believe that my sister performed the dirty dancing routine with him at pontins blackpool 08 on her 16th birthday. it made the holiday. WE LOVE YOU DEAN !

  • its was awesome...good voice...but its just a little bit robotic....go on man...you can do better than this...

  • p.s. I Absolutely agree with Simon ! Robotic! awful performance...

  • @virtual7insanity I don't know if I'd go as far as saying awful, but he could have done better. I do agree that he was kind of robotic. I expected to see him sing and dance, all he did was walk. His first performance was much better. Good singing, though.

  • I couldn't believe this voice was coming out from the... "tree' :D

  • that guy is so cute! :) and he sings awesome!

  • he is the cutest boy I've seen since Freddie Prince Jr.

  • @superonelalala Do you mean Freddie Prinze, Jr? AI'm not sure if I spelled it right myself, but I think it has a Zin his name. I know what you mean, though.  Real nice looking guy.

  • yea Dean Wilson all the way!!!

  • I can't believe that Simon loves the song but hated the performance! It was brilliant and I think that Amanda was right, he's an actor as well as a singer!! I agree with Amanda when she said that Simon has no heart I think it's the truth!!!

  • "Simon!! SHUT UP!!!" awesome :D

  • the songs destroy them!

  • simon just doen't like the boy ....

  • this is probably one of my favourite versions of this song... this guy really shows amazing conviction and passion through his singing.. it's enough to make anyone smile.What a darling

  • LOL, somebody yells, "Simon! Shut up!"

  • I agree, this song is not the right choice for this competition. He has a great voice though. I am still a big fan.

  • why is he doubled mic ed and dont tell me 4 wen he has to talk after the performance for speaking

  • probably double micd for the studio feed and recording feed. Some places (like conferences) do this so the recording of it has a separate feed which can be tweeked in the recording room. (if it depended on the live feed then the sound wouldn't be judged right)

  • @blueaardvark1717

    because the one on his face is just for show, to make it look alot more theatrical

  • what??? lol

  • Simon was right.

  • why did he choose "somewhere"? pulling that off in a solo is really really really difficult, specially for a man. the song needs a thin tone, female or feminine, for it to remain attractive and not get bogged down. Sondheim wrote it as a duo, and it has that pitfall everytime a man tries to sing it. this really was very naive of him. Simon has a very pedestrian ear, which is useful here, he knows what the everyday man will get...and poor kid, it was exactly what happened. But he is talented.

  • why have I never seen the final performance for Dean Wilson? I LOVE his voice and I want to see more.

  • @Alura11 I don't think he made it to the finals.

  • ew! why did he dress like that? i mean...he's really gorgeous..but in performance in this event...he shouldve dressed prior to the event...

  • He's trying to dress the part as a character from West Side Story.

  • @blindsurfer3  I think he dressed like that because that was the way they dressed in the show West Side Story. He was singing a song from West Side Story, wanted to dress, or act the part.

  • I'm not very comfortable with the tremolo in his voice...

  • It's called vibrato not tremolo.

  • Good Voice but out of tone.

  • I love this musical!!

    He sings it well

  • bnad song choice but hes a good singer but really bad song choice

  • did not like the song. the guy can sing but could have choosen a more uplighted song... about the performance as Simon says.. . not the best.

  • to be honest i like simon the most because he's so frank.

  • Sigh... Great presence and enthusiasm. I love this dude.

  • iz he maori?? chur singz like one aye...

  • boring

  • he has a nice body it's alright

    but it's a "peaceful" song (sorry for my English) and he dressed like.. a gym instructor ...

    at first i even thought he would make a change in a song, a little dance or something, cuz he was so sporty..

    that was what i meant when i said "i think his costume was inappropriate"

  • he was dressing for the role . Tony from west side story .

  • @phuongterry Not inappropriate. He was singing a song from West Side Story, that was how they dressed in the movie. He was playing a part in West Side Story. If he had dressed in a suit, or anything dresst, now that would be inappropriate. He was dressed right for the song he was singing.

  • Don't like the audience...

    Don't they know how to keep their opinions to themselves?

    Are you the judge or what?

    You have the right to vote but you're not asked to say something!

    No one will call you dumb if you keep those boos to yourself!

  • am i the only who thinks his costume was inappropriate?

    nice voice though for a 18-year-old boy :P

  • just asking... how is it inappropriate? Do you mean like for the song?

  • I think its more jets song  overture that somewhere

  • thats a pretty standard west side story costume, especially for the character of tony

  • Amanda simply reminds me that older women can be so hot!

  • i agree completely, i cant imagine what she was like when she was 18 lol

  • amanda reminds me of an older version on emma watson from harry potter..

  • I love Simon Cowel...he ALWAYS says exactly the right thing...he knows that he knows it better than all the others and he is the only one who always says what he thinks without worrying about the rude disagree from any other..pure genius!

  • @principal18 Actually, I agree with you because he always says the truth. I thought most people need his suggestion in order to improve their skill. ^___^

  • @principal18 That's true i wish i were like that

  • @principal18 It's not surprising that you adulate that talentless idiot Simon Cowel who is too ignorant to even dress appropriately and that you think he is a pure genius. You come from a country that another Genius came from. Are you from Braunau Am Inn Also? Idiot!!

  • @frbjoernLA : actually i am musical-singer. But that's all I gotta say cause there's no need to response to what you just said in a serious way

  • @frbjoernLA: Part 1: alright... i thought that nothing could surprise me anymore but I have watched your channel now because of your comment..cause..you know..I love watching stupid things, like everyone does^^, and I thought you were some 14-year old uneducated student from the US or something who has just had a history lesson and sees it now as his mission to claim everyone from Germany and Austria to be a National Socialist cause that crap...

  • @frbjoernLA Part 2: ...started out in our countries and so everyone in our countries has to be a Nazi. But now I actually found a comment were you stated that you are a German... Ok...O...K...let me guess... you're some kind of christian fanatic who has spent his whole life trying to bring distance between himself and that shit that happened in his OWN history and stating that everywhere officially through claiming every Austrian and German to be a Nazi and now I wrote the word: "LOVE"...

  • @principal18 Of course your last word "LOVE" is correct. I don't think I'm a Christian fanatic. I am actually a very imperfect Christian constantly asking for forgiveness and struggling to improve. I really deserve your comments. I will try to bel me to be more sensitive in future comments. Now I've got to rush somewhere where I will be contemplating your reprimand trying to improve my temper. By the way! Swinemuende Germany! but raised in Ireland and now living in California!!!!

  • @frbjoernLA : I appreciate and respect the way you answered. Greets from Vienna were many geniuses come from

  • @frbjoernLA : Part3: ...in a for you inappropriate way cause actually you are a priest and only you know what that is and everything else is just blasphemic! So me wrting this way actually the best opportunity to state your stupid point again. Some truth in that...yeah there is..and you know that..or not?...oh well I guess only god knows the truth.

  • @principal18 Wow! Your certainly not a man of few words! And positively not without personal opinion. I am sorry people like Simon Cowel bring out the worst in me. My original comment to you was an overemotional reaction. In retrospect I should have worded it differently. I seem to have "touched a cord" 4 posts in response to my comment!. I do not hate Cowel, his personality bugs the heck out of me but I do not wish him evil. Maybe we are taking these critical comments too seriously. Sorry.

  • @frbjoernLA Part 4: FINALLY! I cant believe I actually had to write about National Socialism on THAT VIDEO! It's actually hard to bare this extreme stupidity all over the world that makes us debate about this topic again and again even when it happened at a time most of us weren't even born. Don't get me wrong..its important to study history and especially your own..but leave innocent people alone..i mean...WHATS WRONG WITH YOU

  • @principal18 I'm sorry! I got too emotionally involved in the topic of S. Cowel. I do not appreciate him as you obviously do.We all have different tastes when it comes to entertainment. I sometimes overreact about silly issues and "flip my lid" and regret it later, as I do now! I guess I sometimes forget that I am dealing with real folk when I make YouTube comments. Again, I am sorry for my comments, I wish I could take them back. As stupid as this may sound, I did not mean to offend you.

  • sexxyyy

  • Isn't this the song Julian Smith played this year?

  • yes, it is... both versions are fab! :)

  • I hope he makes Broadway after this.

  • he is 18 years old

  • how old is he?

  • agree with simon

  • my fave broadway song. I don't think he

    pulled it off tho.

  • dont mean to sound like a dick, but these people talk very simple...im american, and ironically what i speak is english, stemmed from this country, but it seems like broken children listening to these people talk

  • quack

  • He's got an amazingly mature voice for his age. WOW!!!!!!

  • Lol his face looks awkward the entire time...

  • He's amazing. One of my favorite broadway songs . . .

  • Very good man

  • where can i read his biography?

  • Can someone tell me why is it he's not on Broadway? He' obviously good enough, he doesn't need to win BGT to get into a show.

  • HOT!!

  • OMG hes so freakin hot!!!!!!

  • 5:45 lol!

  • CHRIST! I've seen West Side Story and he's even better than the original! Damn! He's going to be a real star on the broadway

  • *reads the comments* ah, jealous trollers.... YouTube would be a better place without you guys.

  • i just been let down by you, simon.

  • where is this song from...west side story??

  • yes, it's called just called 'Somewhere' and is from West Side Story.

  • zajebiste!!!!!!

  • no zajebiście to zaśpiewał

  • HE SHOULD NOT HAD SHOW TO CAM FEW TIMES WITH HE's HANDS LIKE - PLS PHONE ME, I WILL SELL MY MOM FOR THAT- come on boy! grow up ROFLCOPTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • 3:25

    looked like hes toothless

  • if he hasn't been professionally trained then this guy must be really talented

  • I think somewhere from West side story

  • wat song is he singing?

  • I actually agree with Simon. I thought the performance was very sub-par. He could do better.

  • I love Simon....he knows who's good and who isn't!

  • people love simon!

  • before u comment or complain people better u looking into yourself first and asking yourself DO YOU THINK YOU COULD DO BETTER THAN THEM? OR ARE YOU DARE ENOUGH TO BE THERE? if not just SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • u guys are cutie ;) whatever... =) AHHA losers GG

  • jkkljkkl9292 r wtf r u on about?

    i agree wi maximo

  • talent means that someone has a gift to do something beter than the most of us, and so is singing also a talent of course. it's not that he uses his voice and has no talent. lionel messi got no talent too than? he only uses his feet, and everyone has that too

  • jkkljkkl9292

    Your an idiot.

  • i love musicals, but I do not enjoy his singing voice that much.

  • don't realy like his voice

  • ALthough I don't enjoy this kind of music I liked this one!!!!

  • I completely agree with Simon. This time he didn't put his heart and soul into it. Really disappointing... because he's a VERY talented guy !

  • I hate singers on that show. I like orginality

  • ye... excatly... its called talent.. and singing is not even a real talent and there is x-factor and alot more programs and shows and whatever with singing

  • Singing isn't really a talent?!?!?!? Can you sing? I'm going to really go out on a limb and say NO, you can't.

    You know what's not a talent, being stupid.

  • ;) are u crying now... plz dont cry i mean.. its not ur fault that u only got an iq on 20..

  • how can you say singing isn't a real talent? explain that one, please.

  • cuz its just a voice ... all who have a good singing voice can sing.. its not about talent its just the way ur voice is maked... its like all helium kids can sing.. (almost) and its not a talent

  • can you choose your talent?

  • I have to agree with you on that one...when it comes to a singing voice you either have it or you don't.

  • You killed your argument on your own mate, the fact that someone was made like this does mean it's a gift, whether he/she uses it well proves he/she has talent. not everyone is born with a good singing voice. I doubt you or I could do as well as Pavarotti...so even if it's just a voice, it can definitely be a talent. X-factor is for Pop singers. he wouldn't have had 3 yesses there. & btw, the word "maked" doesn't exist... :/

  • no!

  • amanda gtfo

  • Meh, not impressed.

  • shes actually stared in several westend shows.

  • amanda i wanna marry you!

  • amanda is so unprofessional...simon was giving his opinion and it's his right to do so as a judge...why must she interrupt him?

    and who is amanda holden anyway?what talent that she have to judge others?

    the only that i like about her is she's hot.she's nothing without her looks

  • dude......RIGHT ON!

  • im not a dude XD

  • thats cool. ha but ur right. lol

  • i can see that you are saying that amanda is unprofessional but shouldn't simon be as well

    he uses language and rude remarks which isn't professional at all. How many professionals call people the worst act or whatever and still be considered professional?

  • he was good, but i agree with simon when he said it was stiff and robotic - i thought if he had more drama or dynamic in his act he would've been broadway 100%

  • hes good but he keeps saying "uz"

  • Comment removed

  • I like his voice

  • terrible

  • he is sooooo smexx!!!!

  • i liked this surprisingly

  • he was gd at the 1st audition

    but he wasnt gd this time

    simon was right

  • I think it was more the song here, he'd be perfect in musicals - not so much as a recording artist :)

  • what is the music at 0:31

  • Simon was right. Although I wouldn't say that it was a let down, he was stiff. It wouldn't take much to go the next step.  I'm sure he will.

  • HAHAHHA look simon right inda teeth XDXD GAHHAHAH

  • Incredibly talented

  • WOw DEAN WOW , What are great performance ..you are the best , what a voice !! you are such an inspiration .

  • hes not half bad

  • not half good either......

  • omg, what an amazing voice... I love this guy :)

  • voice .. strong nn reflective .. luvd it :)
