While he is not doing this on tour as it was speculated, he is doing The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, to standing ovations every night, just like this, with just Paul on piano.

[Orimusicchannel]

THUMBS UP if you were also surprised to realize this was PLAYED totally LIVE.

[nataliferrari]

amazing!

[manutd689908]

I really like Matt. He has an extraordinary vocal range and shows the power of it here. A really great cover. One of the best X Factor singers to date, in my opinion... First Time will always be my favourite song of his, however...

[Jestela7]

i just love his voice! very beautiful:')

[satexguy1]

There's a plaintive quality to his voice - a sense of urgency in seeking closure - that makes this cover unique. Really impressive~~~~

[TheSvorka]

his singing is full of the emotion, the heart .... - He is simply stunning. I do not understand the negative opinion of some people - where is a problem? Resentment probably - otherwise do not really know. Anyone who has ears on right place must recognize that he is excellent.My God - finally someone who makes the real music - in that amount of shit. I rank him in the category of singers such as Adele.

[babiieehhannah]

lovely :) cant wait to see you Matt on 10th march

[invigrin]

Inspiring

[joshwearetheworld]

Umm no disrespect bro it was amazing but try to sound a little less female cuz at the beginning I honestly taught it was a girl singing I'm not a hater I am a fan but just saying

[TheSvorka]

@joshwearetheworld just saying - I hear amazing male voice

[freeaerozepplin]

I love this, im not a fan of adele at all. This however is beautiful



[SuperMusicvictor]

Great voice! I didn't realize this was a LIVE VERSION until the very end when the dj's voice comes in. To me, THAT'S when you really know a good singer...when you hear them live and they wow you!

[nuimaleko7]

The full versions of The First Time and All Is Said are up on emmatownshend's channnel.

[dlsumner2010]

Killer track, killer performance!

[Biilaa1]

It is really a killer voice!

[TheSvorka]

beautiful

[patrickowenong]

my goosebumps raised , subsided and raised again by the note that you hit!

[spexx23]

there're so many covers of this beautiful adele song..i've just 2 say that she made songs for eternity...btw. i would cut a ear of ur choice to have a vocal like u!

greets from Germany to all of u :*

[rubyreay]

wow xx

[iamahero07]

[twilightacolyte]

Absolutely abusing falsetto.

[marcosmenchon]

fucking amazing.

[mbtennis8]

Seriously good.

[dumbtardface]

and then he nailed the radio host

[BiaEdwrads]

Bravo !

[abbieb43]

GOOSEBUMPS <3 <3

[cassidylovesollyX]

fucking perfect. ♥

[ChaiLdBLink2x]

u have a great voice

[artcheek]

this gave me goosebumps. awesome job <3

[diyanella]

Adam Levine/Gerard Way

[LilSenpai]

Woah, is this the same song Adele sang? :O

[AndiRUK]

@LilSenpai yeah, it's the same song of which Adele sang xD

Quite an impressive cover at most costs :)

[megasaphire]

Feel sh*t right now, so listening to sad songs and reading depressing quotes to get my tears out. and trust me, this song really made a waterfall!<3 xx

[nuimaleko7]

@megasaphire Try Matt's song 'For You', kills me very time.

[Biilaa1]

This is so so beautiful! I really can't explain how I am feeeling listen this amazing voice.

[broken259]

This is really good Matt and I'm looking forward to your new 4 track EP which has a newly recorded version of First Time ever I saw your Face on it. I love that song!! I found the link to pre order it on his new Amazing video and it's out 19th Feb. Cool huh!!

[Bubba060505]

Matt has a truly amazing voice! Im glad he has been discovered!

[6202406]

Matt Cardle makes me weak in the knees.......*sighs*

[nuimaleko7]

@91Smcm listen to his interview today on The Wave radio station with Siany. He says that the craziest thing that has ever been written about him is that he hates the XFactor or ever put it down other than saying he did not like some of the clothes that the stylist chose for him. Matt is one of the most appreciative guys on the planet. His fans know that.

[8072005]

Amazing singer great artist well done my friend.

[Biilaa1]

He is really UNIQUE!!! I don't know any other male singer with such amazing voice.And his personality is great as well.

[dlsumner2010]

Amazing!

[rocker53zero]

Like him or lothe him, this guy is here to stay. He has a very obvious talent. Anyone should be able to see this.

[toinkz888]

That's pretty high male voice there.

[sarahmd952711]

flawless... can't find anything else to say!

[athurchughtai]

43 people are the raindrops we set fire to !!!



[TheSomethingsinister]

I honestly believe people need to look past the stigma of X Factor when listening to this guy, he has genuine talent. As well as a killer voice he also writes his own songs, unlike many stereotypical X Factor artists/winners.

[nuimaleko7]

@raziqvideo Adam is OK, but no man in the world sings like Matt. 

[emmanisms]

whoa! this is an amazing version!

[0705debbie]

That was brilliant much better than Adele!!

[fishwifeful]

simply the most beautiful male voice I have ever heard! He is still not getting the recognition he deserves.

[schastaineg7]

i love this its beautiful

[ChuckieLegoJR]

ALL TIME FAVOURITE

[iMuhxD]

Pretty Much Your Voice

[nuimaleko7]

Matt was on Ken Bruce' s BBC Radio 2 Tracks of Our Years all week selecting tracks to play and telling why they are important to him. Since he came out of the studio in September, Matt has been asked to and has supported countless charities, including going to Africa for Sport Relief and Comic Relief. It shows how much Matt is respected.

[Biilaa1]

@nuimaleko7 It is so refreshing to listen this then read many of comments / except yours /. even i read every.This is pure caress.

[quiltzombie]

OMG I like this better than original.........sorry Adele! Maybe Adele could write for Matt! Such a beautiful voice

[1993imartin]

Halfway listening to this song i forgot i was listening a male version. lol. sorry.

[spicesaltsugar]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I like it better than the original!

[made33able]

Oh this is so beautiful ohhh.xx

[cardleandansell]

so beautiful that it gives me chills; go listen to Amazing too, it is fabulous. New video out for it on vevo.

[SargeEmpath]

this is not singing.....it is explosive emotion....

[Biilaa1]

@SargeEmpath Exactly!!!! Even more!

[BootLeggersify]

ooo damn he's soo goood!

daz de reason why i love singin n love music!

[nuimaleko7]

So happy for him. Letters has gone platinum weeks before it was expected to.

[1903ibo]

nice soft touch good one 

[xxxlilgordiexxx]

WOW!!!!!! that is Just Spine tingling and full of pure emotion Just fantastic!!

[CDiggory97]

Janet and Matt are my two favourite x factor contestants ever!

[raimandooo]

OMFG AWESOME

[VankoCons]

Too high pitched for my personal taste, but it IS a flawless cover. *nods*

[cardleandansell]

also, remember this was a live acoustic on Radio 2, so this is just his voice with piano; he nailed it.

[JoeBloggs25051964]

jesus! love it!!



[cleufox1]

beautiful Matt...congratulations

[emilymciver]

Perfect.

[Biilaa1]

Absolutely increbible!! So emotional.

[leighholm]

love this so beautiful.

[lauraayling11]

I Am meeting Matt cardle :) xxxxx

[iPostanduWatch]

I'm in love with your voice <3 :')

[rivercryforrain]

@iPostanduWatch

me too, :)) that makes aaaallllll of us... he is amazing !

[iPostanduWatch]

@rivercryforrain I know right? :):)

[swazibabe]

Amazing voice and talent...this guy can sing ! Think big things will happen for him and yet he will always remain humble and not big headed like alot of the X Factor contestants.2011 X factor was a flop as there was no one to beat this guy.

[montift]

Just awsome really gtreat talent

[nickpiff]

Awesome

[leighholm]

Matt will be rehearsing for his tour through January and February, with his super band.

[leighholm]

wow, what a wonderful version of this song; i predict a great 2012 for Matt Cardle - his live tour in March will be fantastic.

[Roodney]

Bloody brilliant. A voice that send shills down your spine. This version gets 10 thumbs up!

[Sophieepie]

wow ...speachless

[harpfelt]

amazing voice

[thisvalspage]

Brilliant cover, such depth of feeling.  Shame there is no visual but the voice makes up for that every time.

[jaxgal618]

WOW...just WOW...I can get lost in his voice.

[cardleandansell]

Listen to his version of River too, that is just as stunning.

[nuimaleko7]

Had never heard a man do "River' before. It is usually reserved for women with incredibly high voices like Joni and Sara, but Matt really nailed it, with all those high notes. My favorite version now. Check it out on Terry Wogan's Christmas Special

[nuimaleko7]

@nuimaleko7 Matt Cardle on Weekend Wogan 18.12.11 

[lesslittrell]

i just love Matt!!!! its a terrific version!!

[myopinion1808]

Is really good, very beautiful.. but I still prefer the Original version from Adele.. but this is good...

[heldervti]

amazing singer... very very good...

[dung2592]

very good



[Shoupiidow]

J'adore ! Une vois magnifique ! Je suis sous le charme !

[kyudooooo]

Love your take on it! Brilliant cover! :D

Thanks for sharing and I will be looking for more from you!

[cardleandansell]

simply amazing and stunning and lovely and wonderful.

[BeHappyYouLookLikeMe]

woow I can't even express how AMAZING this is! Matt has the most beautiful voice

[Electro1000000]

omg... my heart burn!

[theirs000]

i love Adele's version, but this is just so beautiful, full of emotion...

[leighholm]

oh my god, this is simply lovely and amazing,so good. this just blew me away. 

[EmmyEmsal]

Halfway listening to this I forgot it was Adele he was even covering.

[nuimaleko7]

@MyMangole see LoxiDays33's comment 

[cardleandansell]

just stunning vocals; totally amazing. gives me goosebumps.

[83oceaneyes]

Stunning vocal .

[marcoshadow10]

amazing

[SteliosGreece3]

wow!

[made33able]

This was absolutely spell binding what a singer and artist. He is a songwriter, lyricist, musician and singer working with one of the greats who have worked with Adele Egg White and many of the other prestigious writers and musicians they must have enjoyed working with him. :)

[BloodshedDead]

He reminds of Adam Levine (:

[nuimaleko7]

You can hear Letters and Seven Summers on WE7's Matt Cardle radio. In America you can only get 7S, because Letters has not been released here yet. Matt and the 7S band get paid for every play as song writers and artists, just like broadcast radio. Lots of other current Brit artists, just give them thumbs up or down and they will or won't play on your channel.

[LoxiDays33]

Jesus, guys. Shut the fuck up. Does it really matter whose version sounds better? No! You came here to listen to Matt so shut up about Adele. If you don't like his version then why are you listening to it? Retards...

[Maniac0147]

don't get me wrong, this sounds great; but lets face it this song was written for a woman, even if matt can go very high.

[iamcemal]

Would love it if Jeff Buckley was still alive to cover this song!

[puppemaan]

sensational, but this is slower than Adele's. Sick talent tho and I love this version, but it would be even better if it was only a little faster! Bloody amazing work! Jealous on him, I do also wanna be able to sing haha

[nikecalunsag]

nice version,

[glucero863]

Just when you think he can't surprise you any more...OMG...beautiful :))) He belongs in the live lounge!!...thank you for sharing

[nuimaleko7]

@itsallreal I would talk to your shrink about your obsession with Matt Cardle's testicles, Dude.

[itsallreal]

@nuimaleko7 He doesn't have them. Silly.

[made33able]

OMgoodness this is stunning listen to the voice iits absolutely beautiful..

[nuimaleko7]

If you can not view the new professionally edited videos from the Koko sessions here on VEVO like me because you are not in the UK, the kind ladies over at the Matt Cardle Appreciation group on FB have put the real videos up, not a link to Vevo, So anybody can watch them worldwide

[sexyhammond]

@MCxx12 His voice is better than Adele's in my opinion :P i do like Adele though :P

[Ntinakoc93]

wonderful voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

[83oceaneyes]

This is beautiful, love Matts vocal.

[nuimaleko7]

If you want to hear Matt do another amazing cover Google, Matt Cardle and Ali McMillan "Ordinary People'. It is a cover of the John Legend song not available on YT.

[sexyhammond]

I think Matts version is better than Adeles version :D I love his version loads :D

[TheDeepbaby]

wow had me in tears

[vegetarianism1]

@Prachtschmerle84 yes it's just you

[naomibanez]

Beauty

[cardleandansell]

beautiful, just beautiful.

[cardleandansell]

@Prachtschmerle84 Yes, it must be your ears, because to me and my ears this is singing heaven. The notes are true perfection that give me goosebumps.

[cardleandansell]

Just truly and amazingly beautiful. Go listen to For You and Just for a Day and Violet to hear other songs that Matt is inspirational on.

[EmaMajaJana]

Great <3 He has emotion, that's the most important and he knows how to show it :)

[Rbeg100]

@Prachtschmerle84 its u honey its ONLY u!! Matts voice is great its ur ears.....have them checked!!!

[marilina984]

@playkoi Woah, are you serious? Try and sing with such passion, hitting these notes perfectly, with so much emotion and a smooth voice that calms you. Go on.

[rodrigosalasja]

OMG!!!! <3

[MissTwilightHater]

..meh

[yasmeeenxxx]

@16shyr lmfaoooo! thats what im thinking..he sings so awkward haha

[bruno2000742]

I SOOO WISH I COULD SING LIKE THAT

[cardleandansell]

Totally wonderful; what an amazing voice. He takes any song and makes it his own. Stunning. What a rare talent. He knocks spots off the 2011 X Factor contestants. He is a true star and only went on X Factor because he was sick of short sighted record companies saying no to the work he was doing with his bands. This guy can sing and then some!!!!!

[codraging]

This is actually fucking brilliant....and who says X Factor only manufactures bad acts, this guy is bloody world class

[nijanth2606]

He really is amazing, but never better than Adele's version.

[p6subhrap]

wow

[nolsterom]

Why couldn't he have a song like that in his album? That would have been no. 1. Syco suks.

[made33able]

crooner he has written many siongs in the past I think he is going to revamp some .........however as you say he is a real musician and you can hear that the way a moves vocally with the music and the words too. So absolutley beautifully x

[made33able]

So absolutley beautifully x

[goku0121]

King of acoustic covers!

[zShockiie]

amazing i love adele but prefer this version fantastic

[hopefulsuicide]

this makes me wish the song was his... it feels like it was made for him :)

[crooner2012]

made33able, he's a real musician so I should say honor to whom honor is due. I'm an American. Matt has a rare original talent. I hope he has more music in store that are yet to be heard. Please, let us hear them, Matt. Thank you.

[SuperLibbster]

This is absolutely amazing i really love this x

[made33able]

crooner2012 I agree with you we have something special that should be shared why are they not aware of this these record company, I think they are aware and through Matt singing live and then watch what people think of his singing this song. He is without doubt one of the most exciting singers to come out of Brit., we should be proud he's wonderful.

[crooner2012]

The recording execs should make a Matt record out of this cover. It’s just like Whitney Houston did to Dolly Parton’s I always Love You. I’m sure, Matt’s record will hit the billboard. Just use this raw material. It can also include the voice of Jo W at the end to make it really live. The Brits have something to be proud of. And we fans have to tell these execs where to get the money? Give me a break!

[spiralthreads]

Brilliant - so glad you managed to record Jo Whiley's comment at the end. Says it all really.

[cardleandansell]

Stunning, simply stunning. I can't stop playing it. I prefer it to Adele's version and I am a big fan of hers too and love her stuff. Go buy Letters if you haven't done so yet. You won't be sorry as there are 13 tracks of this great voice. Go for the delux version so you get the 5 extra acoustic tracks. For You acoustic is a track that will move your heart.

[heatherlu3]

Simon Cowell disliked this.

[thenukisihath]

I've never heard anything so beautiful in my life. This man is amazing, no words to describe how incredible his voice is. I have already bought 5 copies of his letters album (for Christmas presents). We should support him if we want to hear more from this rare talent.

[made33able]

this is so beautiful emotional content each word wow. Then the voice absolutely wonderful.
