  • can i get pregnant from this?

  • this is one of the best things i ve ever heard :P

  • This is a very shitty performance :S

  • O.O He performed this at the live tour on the centre stage thingy... js :)

  • He's amazing. He should have won tbh <3

  • Is he autistic?

  • song itself is boring but this one was nice one :3

  • Wow he sucked, and he always will.

  • @pf74 What the actual fuck is your problem? he did the song better than any1 else could have, he sang it in tune & has a unique voice. So how does he suck?????????????

  • He is AMAZING! I cant believe he left and katie didnt i love chu aidan <3 <3 should have won! Katie can fuck off

    Amy, A big big Fann (L)

  • He is AMAZING! I cant believe he left and katie didnt i love chu aidan <3 <3 should have won! Katie can fuck off

    Amy, A big big Fann (L)

  • Amazing voice... amazing talent and stage presence. Aiden should not give up hope but continue to be the amazing artist he already is. Being voted out at this stage was an injustice, but he needs to carry on with grace and with his head held high.

  • he will make a recored deal dont you worry

  • Im a big fan of Aiden and I could not believe he went out last night - Katie should've gone not Aiden - he's bloomin gorgeous!!

  • How this lad was voted off the show with a voice like this make's one think the show is a fix.

  • Cant believe Aiden Grimshaw is gone tonight i'm gutted.. i always looked forward to watching his performances ! have to say Simon really got it wrong tonight! sorry Aiden but would love to attend a concert of yours, keep going.. your an incredible artist very current keep your own style your mystic is chilling and class !! X Factor you lost tonight !!! i'm not against Katie but i really think they should have given Aiden the same opportunity they have given her for the past 4 weeks!

  • nooo!! y is he out??!!! X FACTOR IS A JOKE wagner and katie still in??!! WTF??!!! aiideenn <3

  • Check out the incredibly ugly Aiden Grimshaw's video on my channel.

  • @5thxfactorjudge UGLY?!?! he's flippin gurguss <3 aiden and paije and one direction r awesome :)

  • @5thxfactorjudge UGLY?!?! he's flippin gurguss <3 aiden and paije and one direction r awesome :)

  • Love this guy. 

  • Excellent interpretation of the song but I direct everybody to watch Adam Lambert's performane of the same song on American Idol. In comparison this one is underwhelming.

  • @TheDan9169 - Adam Lambert? NAHHH REALLY, This guy captures the psychopathic nature of this song where Adams just sounds like a love song.

  • @TheDan9169 i watched it and it dont even come close to being halfway as good as aiden

  • @TheDan9169 I watched adam's but it dont even come neat to being half as good as aiden

  • I Love This.. Its Beautiful.. 

  • Comment removed

  • the is crap. awful. absolute disgrace. he totally butchered this classic song...

  • I'm not his biggest fan but i do love him singing this :) x

  • Aiden to sing "the power of love" by Franky goes to hollywood pleaseeeeeee!!

  • this is by far the best performance of the season.... for me anyway :) simon cowell on the other hand saying cher's performance of "Stay" is the best of the season??? hmmm has simon been necking pills??

  • @emzie66 are your joking? aiden looks like hes going to have a stroke in this song this vid makes me concerned for his health..

  • @micap20078 its called getting into character and losing himself in the song, making a wonderful intense performance, but if thats not your cup of tea so be it, i thought he was AMAAAAAZO.

  • Shivers.

  • Aiden to win!! ♥

  • Love him, love this cover, love this song. YOU ROCK AG! AIDAN TO WIN :)

    - Watch my cover of this please:)

  • perfect!! better than the original!

  • I better prefer Adam's version and after that Aiden's version.

  • AIDEN TO WIN!!!!!!!!

  • i love his awkwardness

  • lol his face expression at 0:58 and 1:11 and also 1:22 its hilarious!

  • THIS GUY HAS IT ALL...he ll do this in the final..trust me...

  • wow he's amazing love this performance it's SOOOO INTENSE !!

  • @samanthavicarey so fake more like, he puts all that rubbish on. looks painful

  • possibly the worst piece of singing ever.

    awful.

    Hello Aiden, this is a song:

    /watch?v=3gFl2OXySs8&feature=f­vst

  • OMG just relized who he looks like!

    any1 ever see that picture of russell brand when he was like 17, kinda chubby n with aidens haircut, he looks EXACT like him in tht pic.

  • This guy is ridiculous like am i the only person who sees that this is not how he natrually sings, putting on all this shaky crap. if he just sang like a normal person he would be half decent. hes trying to be different but its just painful to look at him. must be painful for him singing like that the whole time too. can you imagine him doing a 2 hour concert singing like that the whole way through, not a chance. hope he goes soon.

  • @yekcim39 He's amazing, but i hope he isn't forcing it, it's most likely nerves, which make me wonder what he would sound like feeling calm with no pressure... wow... that would be amazing :)

    Aiden 2 win ♥

  • @xXxHyperBunnyxXx its his way..intense..focussed...

  • @xXxHyperBunnyxXx dont think its nerves anyway. like for example last week when he sang jealous guy he was trying so hard to be different that it just went out of control and it sounded rubbish. his performances look painful. dont think hios voice is that strong either. think maybe if he wasnt a good looking guy then he'd be gone already. and another thing louis walsh sayin he's 'World Class', now come on like, get real.

  • @yekcim39 he s a young guy..does it his way..THEN SMILES..he has it..get into it..he does..CHARISMATIC....bet he can shake his booty too..just his style...billy fury was moody in the 60s..what about morrissey..JUST ENJOY

  • @john111257 what about morrissey? Morrissey is totally real and everything he does is real, i dont think you will ever find Morrissey and Aiden in the same sentence. i just cant enjoy his performances. maybe if he moved around a bit on stage and brought dance into his performances he would be better.

  • He reminds me of the lead singer of OMD anyone remember them?? he would be great singing the song Electricity by them he is my fav............hes interesting I love him being arkward it makes him more interesting rather than a boring big mouth

  • I love him, i hate that he doesn't believe in himself. He needs to see how bloody amazing he is! One direction or Aiden to win:)

  • aiden grimshaw and one direction to win

  • He sucks balls.

  • I like him. I liked Nicolo to, but since he's out of the contest, I would like Aiden to win. 

  • Aiden, Rebecca, Matt or Mary to win! Cher and Wagner to go next!

  • Adam Lambert sang this on american idol and I think Aidan's mentor got him to copy this whilst he is good Adam Lambert sings it far superior on the live 8 version it gives me goosebumps this perfomance did nothing for me as was a copy cat version but not as good sorry folks!!

  • This dude has a great chance at taking the WIN. Just needs to play into his strengths and sell everyone on the fact that he is a great vocalist.

    I look forward to seeing him and Rebbecca in the finals.

  • he is amazing !

  • he is amazing! so much feeling in the song.

  • He's a brilliant singer, but, I just have to say this, he massacred this song, really, the original is so much better, he done better than many could do, but it was awful compared to the original.

    But I suppose if you're not a big fan of that song in the first place you'd think his version was good.

  • He's so completely mental <3 And did anyone note the Smiths tshirt in auditions?! I want to eat him up.

    It actually makes me sad he's on X Factor cos all he'll get is fifteen minutes of fame, and I think he deserves more than that.

  • I absolutely love listening to and watching him!!!! He's just soooo unique!! I think he deserves to win Xfactor- if not One Direction!!! :D hehe x

  • weird kido :D

  • This song obviously means something to him. It certainly seems to stir up some strong emotion in him, considering his facial expressions and tone.

  • people say he is wierd but to me its brillant well he is still on x factor ant he so obv he has got the x factor x

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE AIDEN GRIMSHAW FTW!! xx

  • absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely LOVE HIM TO BITS!!!!! the passion just oozes out of him!! please please win aiden!!

  • Anyone who appreciates music will like this performance

  • well there is the winner...

  • @loveydovey454 well you dont know yet i know you like him and ut think he is but dont take your chances up because i dont think he is

  • ii loveee aiden!! omg hes amaziing <3 ahh!! :D

  • hes amazing x

  • loved this, aidan to win :)

  • yes, he's amazing!! And he also one of my top 4 list:

    Aidan Scrimshaw, John Adeleye, Matt Cardle, and Rebecca Ferguson,

    Way to go guys!!

  • Also, on another note, his expressions don't bother me at all - after all, aren't we after someone we want to buy the CD of, not someone we want to watch all the time?

  • ... I actually just shivered.

    The absolute best performance on Saturday by a clear mile. Beautiful, intimate, sultry, a unique yet enthralling voice... better than Adam's, at least for me.

  • @Glitterology i totally agree

  • Sitting on that wire chair (that's what it is, right?), with that high-necked white shirt... he looks almost like he's in a straight-jacket or something. Combine that with his intense, threatening stare... it was just wonderful. Very haunting.

  • i love him !!!

  • Pure BS i mean he was rubbish, and all of you people who like him can go to hell.

  • @pf74 its knobs like you that sit in the background that don't bring the next generation of talent forward...get a life and grow up you little immature sqirt

  • @UKEthicalhackers I would have you know that i am under 18 and i HATE the X-Factor and him. He is not the "next generation of talent" If you read up on the song he is playing it was made by the last generation. See i know this because i enjoy the song "Mad World" but he has ruined it.

  • @pf74 one question why would you hate a person so much when all he is doing is trying to make something of himself. and yes he is the next generation as he would not be through boot camp with professional voice coaches backing him as well as the hits he has received. if you don't like him then don't comment or is this the next generation rebelling against talent maybe?

  • @UKEthicalhackers The "New" generation is split up into alot of people who like lots of other things, the generation he is singing from is 20 September 1982 And he is singing it in 2010, its not a original song he is taking something thats been made and then regurgitating it as crap. Just like most of the music is now days.

  • @pf74  your so right :D

  • @emnnie123 Join the fight. :3

  • Saw Adam Lambert and tears for fears sing this live this summer - sorry but this doesn't compare

  • @snifferification adams doesnt compare to this, sorry

  • @snifferification adam was world class vocally but this guy is ggod as wel, given it is his first week. he didn't take as many risks

  • the faces he pulls are kinda frightening but he's an amazing singer :)

  • Got Chills from this! AMAZING! he's my winner! <3

  • Got Chills from this! AMAZING! he's my winner! <3

  • Hes two shacky you can hear it in his voise.

  • @Blackwiddow10 ye its way to put on, i cant believe how people fall for that shite and think its all intense and stuff ,like get real. can you imagine him doing a 2 hour concert like that, not a chance. looks painful

  • This young man is a true star ,with a voice like that I would buy his CD's, he will go a long way in the show and must be in the final, good looks , youthfull and a great voice a pop star 100% . GOOD LUCK Aiden you have my vote .

  • Great cover but i prefer this one watch?v=4tvoNFKTHzA

  • He looks like he wants to slowly strangle a person and watch as them suffocate. Great voice, but the performance was a bit uncomfortable to watch.

  • OMG, OK so he might look psycho singing this, but HE IS AMAZING!!

    i just listened to practically every other version of this song on youtube - including adam lambert - and yes adam can sing but aiden is SO much better - it's official i love him!!

    aiden to win!

    then mary/rebecca/matt

    don't mind the order - but aiden and his gorgeous voice to win!!!!!

  • Nice to see that shirt got some more use after the Seinfeld episode...

  • pure art

  • I like the part where he stops singing.

  • awsome ! 

  • i am laughing at you if you actually believe that either aiden OR adam lambert have any creative input when it comes to these performances. you can't blame aiden for 'copying' adam lambert when the same person styled both their performances in the first place. also, no one in this country even knows who the fuck adam lambert is.

  • @jeebandbeeb That's actually not true. On American Idol the singers have creative input. it's up to the contestants to arrange the song and light/stage the performance. Brian Friedman, who's stage-choreographer on X-factor, is Adam's friend though so he would have known of Adam's performance.

  • hes mine ;) xxxx :* love him sooooooooo much xxx

  • He says hes awkward and stuff which may be true at times, but when he needs to he can get into role to fit the music perfectly! This song was absolutely perfect for him <3 x

  • GREAT!

  • does he have some kind of disease?

  • IF THIS GUY DOESN'T WIN, IT'S GOING TO BE A MAD WORLD!

  • @IMDBmoderator i see what you did there

  • he is so cute and shy. He so doesnt like interviews too shy. Those that can actually sing like Mat, Aiden, Rebecca are shy and humble compared to some like Katie

  • freak

  • who did he murder?

  • thumbs up if this is crap and sounds nothing like the real song, and people are just saying its good because he got through?

  • @summminn hell yea this guy fucken sucks no talent

  • He is clearly the best singer this year. He has an encapsulating aura about him as well. looks so much like johnny depp or ronaldo! fantastic Aiden

  • 2 questions, did he sing the lyrics wrong on purpose? And are they not allowed to sing the full song? Seeing as he skiped 2 parts of the song (the best ones if you ask me...)

  • @ltsjack they have to shorten the songs in order for all singers to be able to sing. cos otherwise the live show would go on for something crazy like 4 hours otherwise.

  • @stephanie24O1 Figures, but it still anoys me how he says the wrong words andjust randomly removes words in sentances whenever he feels like it o.o

  • I love everything this lad has shown so far. I can't wait to see what happens next! :0)

  • When watching this on the TV I was too distracted by his face and body postures to listen to him sing but now I listened to him and didn't watch him I've come to realise he is soo fucking shit compared to the original AND Adams' version.

  • I think Aiden has a very unique voice! But personally I prefer Adam's version better. And I think this show has just copied Adam's Mad World performance too much - I mean the chair, the light, the mist, etc. Those make me feel like I was watching Adam's Mad World again, which is so powerful version. He should do something unique and different, since he has a very unique voice and talent. But however I think he've done a very good job in his first stage performance though.

  • probably was the same producer. Brian Friedman, I think he also works in the us version of this show.

  • so fking good...

  • not being funny, this guy is gonna Waltz this competition if he performs like that week in week out.

  • one of the most amazing things i have seen on the xfactor. Him and adam lamberts versions of this song are better than the originals aha

  • @Schizophrenia1000 i very much diagree with you, no one sings this song as good as Gary Rules does. i like this one better then adam lamberts versoin. but nothing will beat the original

  • I was soooooo not expecting that from him, it was ace

  • So hope he wins 

  • He is the only one in the entire final 16 (maybe matt too actually) that actually have a unique talent.

    If he doesn't win, I will be very disappointed and ashamed of the public.

  • It's So Haunting ... o.o

    Wow, He's AMAZiNG!

  • Love the rawness,, vulnerability and magnetic quality in his voice/performance-did justice to a beautiful song-AIDAN TO WIN!! xxxx

  • ABSOLUTELY LOVE AIDAN SINGING THIS SONG! addicted much? i think so. definitely routing for aidan to win!!! ♥♥♥

  • فيه جني 

  • @1Hilali haha noo man..no jinn

  • i love this.

  • EPIC!!! clear that he gets really into his songs. i don't usually watch/like x factor but glad i caught this guy.

  • Ths guys sikkk !!! Ftw yo

  • Thumps this if u think its adds to the insanity of the song the chain chair

  • This boy is bloody brilliant. I swear the hairs on my arms stood when he started singing this, the look in his eyes and the way he sang it was so haunting and menacing. Really reflects the phrase "mad world". Now this is what you call originality, you go Aidan! We need something different in this show!

  • @xRockaJoJox

    I was going to make a similar comment, but you beat me to it and expressed it better than I could have done.

    It is a stunning performance, so heart-wrenchingly beautiful...

  • @xRockaJoJox You've just said everything I was going to say, I absolutely love this song and especially when Aidan sings it. Best performance on the x factor yet.

  • @xRockaJoJox I KNOW hes fucking good and hes fucking good looking too xx

  • ...I don't think the expressions are deliberate at all. He probably just really cares about the music personally I think he us best on the show at the mo

  • ..Wow. I hate shows like X Factor - I'm the type of cynical, perhaps joy destroying, git who makes fun of the contestants on this show. However, I just checked this out because I love this song.. and wow..!! I wish I could buy a full version of him singing this.. I'm shocked.

  • Amazin :)

  • HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ACTING LIKE THAT!! IT ADDS SO MICH EFFECT AND IT REALLY MAKES YOU UNDERSTAND THE SONG SO SHUT UP ABOUT HIS SADISTIC FACIAL EXPRESSIONS THEY ARE DELIBERATE!!!!

  • @mralexz96 interesting that he's 'supposed to be acting like that' when he does it in every one of his performances. It's not just this performance I find awkward it's all of them. He's a cool guy tho, just prefer him when he's not singing. Just my opinion, we're all entitled to one. Calm down.

  • Sounds like he's using cat strangulation as inspiration, he looks like he's having a massive spaz attack when he sings. Look at the way his body goes all tense, I find it really awkward to watch, at 0:36 the way he suddenly tenses up looks like he's trying not to soil himself. As for the judges being intent on him opening his eyes when he sings, I think he should keep them closed; those demonic looks he had going on made the performance that much harder to watch.

  • @Amzyie

    well the song is supposed to be acted like that, i think the way he does it awkward and acts makes the performancse 10 times easier to watch

  • @futremeanderleg a song isn't supposed to be 'acted' in any specific way. It's just the way he's doing it, it's not even acting, he's an awkward guy, you can see it in every one of his performances, not just this one. Plus I reckon you all think he's only being 'mad' because the song's called 'Mad world', yeah that would work but funnily enough like I've said already he does that awkward thing in every song he sings and they don't all have the word 'Mad' in them.

  • @Amzyie In his first audition he didn't act awkward, his closing his eyes is him getting into the song, normally i don't see the point in all the eyes closing and hands moving when singing a song, but with aiden its real, and not awkward

  • @Amzyie so what, its different and i like it, it makes him unique, hes not awkward, more like vulnerable

  • Its adds to his Insanity :) good job :)

  • Its adds to his Insanity :) GOOD JOB Aiden

  • Comment removed

  • it doesnt sound live he's AMAZING <3

  • i luv him<3
