Declan Sykes: Smells Like Teen Spirit - Live Show 4 X Factor Australia 2011

[isonottellingu]

I Love this! I don't know why i just do so so so so mmuch!!!

[BambiiCakesx]

I really think someone should shoot me now

[BambiiCakesx]

fuck sakes you cunt.

[SaimonSong810]

what is this shit?

[nzsquidley]

I love you declan!!!! <3<3<3

[SuperCwizzy]

Boyzone, Guy Sebastian, Spice Girls, random bitch I don't know, you aren't worth Declan's underwear crust.

[morphinecityxx]

Where can i find this as an instrumental?

[TheBlutengelFreak]

I LOVE the 'here we are now' part!

[PEriwata]

I actually loved this performance! I usually can't stand the way the backing tracks sound on X Factor but this was the one song that really blew me away, such a shame he was eliminated but I think he'll probably be signed anyway. I really would have liked to see him sing something like Fleet Foxes or Mumford and Sons.

[BlondeBrunette103]

@PEriwata... I'd really like to see him do more of his own stuff. He managed to turn every cover he did on the x-factor into a complete new song. He has a tremendous amount of originality in him.

[HikaruXXXXKaoru]

PS I soooo want my drink spiked . . . ova and ova and ova again if Declan is what I start seeing

[HikaruXXXXKaoru]

I love what he did with this song. I dont really watch X Factor till like the fourth show (which I did this time) and I saw Declan and my family says that I had the biggest chessey grin and I looked so stupid when he started siging but OMFG after this proformance I was hooked on Declan. Cried my eyes out for days when he left

[nzsquidley]

@HikaruXXXXKaoru Exact same experience.

[GlambertGipzy]

WHY does this have so many dislikes?! That was a fabulous performance!! I LOVE YOU DECLAN~!!

[taterpup12340]

OMG i hated him singing this song at first but he is AWESOME hes sooooo cool i LOVE LOVE LOVE him and i really like his hair i mean i LOVE his hair lol



[MrEmery931]

I love this kid, I love not only his voice, but his personality, his style, and especially his choices in songs to perform.

[jessandsheldiexx]

ear rape have you heard the actual song by curt cobain he was high almost all the time and it sounds like this so go listen to the song before you say hes bad

[velvetrock6]

fuck if i (((((((((care)))))))))))

[velvetrock6]

this sucks

[Namami88]

hes gorgeous.. his teeth are sooo white *.*

[sal7t5]

pure ear rape, anyone thinks otherwise is deaf

[Palpac]

@sal7t5 totally agree

[iNdiEverlasting]

About the 7th time i've watched this and I'm still in love with it. His vioce is so hot when he does that scream thing. My fav song through out the whole season including Reece who I luv.

[HikaruXXXXKaoru]

I love this version of the song way MORE ! I do have to say that the vocals where probz to low for his voice but it was still amazing !

[TailsTheDarkDragon]

This was a terrible idea.. Please, don't ever dubstep Nirvana again X Factor.. Both Dubstep and Nirvana are great, but they dont work. At all.

[Kambonz1]

THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME I THINK HE SHOULD WIN HE HAS THE X FACTOR THE REMIX MADE IT SO MUCH MORE WEIRD

DECLAN ROCKS

[Shadsternz]

A big pile of steaming shit..

[Spl33nMaster]

That was awful.

[camerinian]

@MrGeorgios2020 WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME, NOT DATED IN ANY WAY AT ALL, AND THEY HAPHAZARDLY THREW IN A SHITTY FAD GENRE OF MUSIC, AND SOMEHOW EXPECTED IT TO WORK. ADD TO THE FACT THAT THE VOCALS ARE FAR TOO LOW FOR DECLAN, AND YOU HAVE AN EXTREMELY TERRIBLE BUTCHERING OF A LEGENDARY SONG, and you have no good argument to use the caps lock, btw

[Gwinchy]

Classic song butchery of the highest order. This boy-thing deserves a nut punt from everyone who disliked this video.

[onedirection1235m]

go tudor

[japancamerahunter]

Why are you shouting? Are you mentally deficient? I guess you must be seeing af you think that this is actually music.

[MrGeorgios2020]

WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? NIRVANA SOUNDS DATED. THIS TECHNO VERSION GIVES IT A MODERN SOUND. THIS GUY IS INCREDIBLE!!!

[AnnieDelico1]

@MrGeorgios2020 Lost my comment!

:( :( :( I'm totally with YOU MrGeorgios2020 :) :) :)

[Jessicaftw123]

Why is this so disliked :'( I LOVE him!!!!

[AnnieDelico1]

@Jessicaftw123 me too jessica :)

[onedirection1235m]

@Jessicaftw123 hiiiiiiii jesssss i can see u

[George999rus]

oh man this so PFF

[nathanstorm7]

'No I don't have a gun'

Wish I did, cos this makes me want to shoot myself

[Ang3lak1]

he is lucky because kurt is dead and he will not kill him

[DingoGoesBloodyRawr]

Pretty sure I'd rather have Declan on my ipod than any of the judges.

[AnnieDelico1]

@DingoGoesBloodyRawr .... You just hit the nail RIGHT ON THE HEAD Dingo!!

Their stuff is all mainstream, boring rubbish ... Declan made this song into something so cool & fun & out there!! I can't get enough of it!! So much rubbish on the airwaves, I can't even LISTEN to the radio etc. I hate it.

[skitzoTERORIST]

LMAOOO I LOVE MEL SHE IS TOOO FUNNY

[stormcc69]

at the end of the day no 1 can sing it as good as kurt Cobain did it but this kid did a amzing job and if you dont like it look at Miley Cyrus she did a bad job this boy did the best he could and it was awesome

[joejonasfan182]

What the fuck, everyone shut the fuck up, if you hate it so much then piss off, he didn't even choose to sing the song? i thought he did an awesome cover of it.

I bet NONE of you could go up there and sing a song like that, as good as he did.

Declan has gone through alot, and he is still just a kid. So, leave him alone.

He was the best thing about the X-factor 2011!!!

[himynameiskirra]

He didnt even choose to sing it guy did :/

[CarebearRapist]

I'd rather shoot myself in the head with a shotgun then watch this.

[LadyGaga4evz]

wtf this sucks so bad, darty word wtf, good song when nirvana sung it

[samissobored]

if hes gonna sing it. he better sing it right

[kacarott]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! KILL THIS SON OF A BITCH!!!!

[SellerPL]

Kurt is turning in grave ...

[stormcc69]

@SellerPL  dave grohl liked it

[maltesecreater]

WTF SHOOT HIM HOW DARE HIM

[alexrelph123]

screwing up the best song in the world .... f**king shoot him!

[absynthism]

Wow.. this is so bad

[Frizbeen]

To quote the talking horse in Ren & Stimpy, "No sir I don't like, I don't like it all."

[RaaainbowVeins]

I thought he did amazing, screw the judges? o_O

[mrshomersimpson]

i could literally watch him and listen to him sing all day. AMAZING VOICE.,

[mrshomersimpson]

@mrshomersimpson plus i want his hair! :D

[Engimal]

Before the 'growling' started, it was actually quite brilliant.

[evenyscrewd]

mag did you like this performance you cornball

[Maneater1984]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that was fucking terrible!

[Pine1011]

Declan Sykes <3

[Lmaox94]

>nirvana meets dubstep

fuccckk offffff

[KaylerhhBeKhaaotic]

Everyone giving him hate should shut it and remember that the guy is only like 15!! I mean how would you feel if you were his age and on stage and so many people hated your singing and crap, I don't think very well.

I loved his take on it, and I loved him and can't believe he got voted off. He's gunna do amazing in life with his voice and his weirdness!! <3

[gigilaux]

fuck the judges i thought this was fantastic and one of his better performances!

[Hollz811]

Love the Marilyn Manson feel to this!

[kbkirsty]

OMG HES AWESOME ....they were so mean 2 him.....HE WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!

[TheKatekate01]

i know he got voted off but if he is reading this you go boy for fill your dream you know you are better then them all

[pwned596]

how dare this cunt ruin one of the most epic songs on earth....nuff said

[KeyonaLiikesCakee]

It'd be so awesome if he was related to Oli Sykes (;

Nomm.

[keely2504]

faaarrrrk i love him

[Ddgolem12]

No. Didn't like it. Nirvana is grunge. You should just leave it at that. Don't take it and try and make it modern. I didn't get the same feel for this song as I do the original.

[mastertalent43]

this makes me wanna vomit AWESOME FUCKKING SHIT... love this guy

[infinitetawney]

seriously, the judges were a little harsh...i actually liked this take of the song. if i still had my nirvana mix tape, this would have fitted amongst the masses nicely.

[hyndscs]

@infinitetawney Do you have ears. Nirvana is grunge, you never put ANY dubstep with Nirvana. Nirvana is a stoners band. Yeah people who not stoners can listen to it. But fuck do not have it with any dubstep. Kurt Cobain would roll over in his grave with this shit. My shit hitting the water is better than this. thank you and goodbye

[TheAmbam26]

I personally liked it, despite that creepy deep voice thing he did =/ and he took the judges comments well. And the majority of Australia must have liked it because this performance didnt send him to the bottom two!

Hmm i wonder how many of the Nirvana "fans" who have left comments actually know any other Nirvana songs besides this one??

[darkmanx16542]

@TheAmbam26 Agreed, every single word.

I reckon this was a really interesting version of the song, different but awesome, he just knows what to do

[Ddgolem12]

@TheAmbam26 Well, unlike what the second half of your comment says, I love Nirvana. I love a ton of their songs. But just because he wasn't sent to the bottom 2 doesn't mean the audiance liked the song. Maybe they just like the dude. What I would like to see is someone cover a different Nirvana song for a change. A lot of people only know this song cuz people have covered way too many times or don't bother to get involved in the band. And they arent fans if they only like Smells Like Teen Spirit

[FreeFlores]

it wouldve been ok if it wasnt a song by Nirvana. maybe like another type of rock but Nirvana was Grunge. Grunge and Dubstep just dont mix.

[JustAnother13]

..Oh What I Would Pay For This Power To Spike My Drink With, Just To Have Declan Sing Nirvana To Me :3

[o0ici0o]

Mel must have had her drink spiked to say that. It was awesome! Hope Declan wins!!!

[Raaacch33l]

he is soo sick i love this



[coolprincessnot]

why fucking watch it if you hate it? mate i have watched this so many times because i love it

[WingsStrippedAway]

Actually... second thought... im older than him... by a year XD

[WingsStrippedAway]

I wish i was old enough to marry him... XD

[jordy45678]

This was actually one of the few entertaining performances on these fucking corporate live shows, this is the first song ive heard of declan, and it was the reason I watched more of his performances. Those were all less entertaining than this one though. He really changed the song, and can take me away in it, like im hearing the song for the first time again, although this must be at least the 150th time. this jury is fucking him up, and taking him into the mainstream though.

[skiny998]

a darty word?

[halo3dia]

@skiny998 *darty whore

[stormcc69]

@skiny998 he said dirty

[skiny998]

@stormcc69 yeah I know, it just sounded a lot like he said ''darty'' instead of ''dirty''

[Westlifelover2811]

i wish they put more music in it

[888davey]

fuckig shit kunt

[adeleserene]

To be honest, kurt would have been proud to see this boy performing something like this.

[nirvanafanas]

This cover made me so angry.

I'm sorry, but nobody but Kurt Cobain can sing this.

[nirvanafanas]

I do love this guy on x-factor, but Guy is an idiot for choosing this song.

I'm angry about this cover, it's absolutely terrible.

Everyone knows that only Kurt Cobain can sing this song.

Honestly, this is terrible.

[TheDoomsdayDragon]

Still sends chills up my spine, damn this was good

[screamobeast]

omg this motherfucker

[SaintsOfTheSinners]

i thought this version was awesome

[iamawesome3323]

Kurt Cobain cant rest in peace now.

[muddertate]

Declan can make any song ( like barbie girl ) sound good.

Those stupid judges were so wrong

[LaserGraffiti]

hahahahah kurt would be proud! look where his music is now, get fucked nirvana!

[orandulum]

he does much better in the second half of the song when his vocals get rougher

[Magnifikate]

lol all these haters. i love this guy.. he takes stuff out of the box. Only people that can't take their minds elsewhere are gonna hate on this.

But apart from that... This guy is an amazing vocalist, so if you don't like this check out his other stuff! :)

[Timaus898]

fucking ruined the song... fuck this faggot

[abbieNbella]

@Timaus898 Oh how I'd love to deck you.

[thedannyboy1221]

congratulations to X factor for not just BUTCHERING this song but for also butchering a multitude of songs

[jazzr93]

Forgive us Kurt.

[AnnaBooLuvzYou]

i luv dub <3

[antsweargumboots]

this was amazing!

[liaiscool333]

I am so glad Kurt's not alive to hear this S**T!!!

[TheBassBeatsMelody]

wer can i get this version of the song??

[xangelxlisax]

What the fuck is this shit?

[littlegft94]

I kind of liked how it had the dubstep

[MutantHaydon]

He is so great! This stuff isn't for everyone, but I for one loved it!!

[45kial]

umm yea hes origanl bt thats just f$%^** up

[MarkCFC69]

This is fucking shit, ruined the song, why is he still on this show?

[flowerdiva]

Declan is awesome. be who are are

[mattila20]

surprinsingly I liked this cover

[OrangeTexta]

Guy fucked this song anally by trying to remix it. I don't blame Declan, his voice still sounded nice but eh I blame Guy for slaughtering it.

[nickydooo]

Bring him to the british X Factor and SHOW THEM WHAT MAJORITY OF PEOPLE LIKE! None of this "Ohh baby, i think i wanna marry you" shite :P

[battyape]

petition to get guy kicked of, worst mentor ever!

[parked08]

fuck this sounds so shit

[simoltan]

Screamo last name sykes were on to a winner

[MrBowey988]

i think he would be a kick ass screamo singer :)

[shibshib09]

amazing just pure amazing

[aliciaranus]

Turning this song to dubstep was a stupid idea.. BUT you have to remember that Declan wasn't the one who decided on that it was Guy. i reckon they should of let him do the original grunge version, either way.. Declan was amazing even if it was to dubstep.

[eatmyshitpl0x]

Could be the worst fucking shit ive ever heard

[sirregional3]

@ohdeanoyourofine @eatmyshitpl0x same as ohdeanoyourofine to you mate.

[ohdeanoyoursofine]

TERRIBLE

[sirregional3]

@ohdeanoyoursofine id like to see you go on the show at 15 years of age >:D bet youd chicken out after hearing how terrible you'd be.

[MrBowey988]

wish i was retarted enough to like the dislike button :)

[Blackrosereaper]

Oh god he fucked that song up the ass... Kurt would kick him in the balls if he was given the chance.

[baby158127]

haters gon' hate. LOVE YOU DECLAN <3

[greenagedbook]

Why more dislikes than likes? I really LOVE declan <3 he's so cute!

[SlimSantaGaming94]

@greenagedbook Why?!? Listen to it instead of looking!

[greenagedbook]

@SlimSantaGaming94 You may think he sounds bad.. But I do find a unique aspect in his voice.. 

[Arcunum]

wtf dubstep nirvana? nty

[xxnightlordxx]

pimp stick?

[xiluvth80sx]

HE SHOULD BE IN A TIM BURTON MOVIE!!! i've thought that since i first saw him

[xiluvth80sx]

how does he do that creepy voice.

[poisoncupcake13]

His so Perfect <3 :) xx

[kewlguitarist]

I just wonder why he didn't do something resembling the song. I'm all for making a song your own but not completely destroying everything the song stands for.

[StrawberryExpress15]

@MrSigninging Exactly lol

[thecameramenaus]

I know I can only dislike this video once, but I keep repeatedly clicking the dislike button anyway.

[rhezwa]

what the actual fuck? that was the worst thing in the world

[ninjagoaly247]

its not his fault its guy sebastians for giving him the song

[SuperShpongle]

hells yeah this is awesome and yes i have been down voting everyone that disses this song

[hmmm97890]

I flicked through the channels and found this, it took me about a minute to realise what song he was preforming, it only took ten seconds to realise he had butchered it... i watched hoping the judges would tear him a part for this atrocity... instead they patted him on the back and encouraged him.

[damosetsfire]

Great lighting show, great stage presence...but that was shit. He did not sing well.

[HollyLeeLeeLa]

... Why? Declan used to be cool.

[Ponsle]

How can you make such a good song sound so bad:(

[Ponsle]

Rubbish



[PureGamer238]

EPIC ALL THE WAY hope he stays in to the finals and wins ;)

[OMGMANTHEHARPOONS]

Kurt Cobain killed himself because he was a prophet and foresaw this atrocity.

[Gunkhed]

What a great way to murder a clasic, Kurt Cobain just died all over again!!!!!!!!!

[eskimofreek]

What a knob

[orandulum]

If he had sung like did at the end throughout the entire song then this would have been better.

[miccorain]

I'd like to remind everyone the mentors chose most songs. poor kid.

[Barnabee21]

Ohh the things i would like to do to this boy for ruining this song for me

[SumofUsTV]

Compared to the other contestants, this guy doesn't really have any x factor.

[crazzydude0117]

i like it its not to bad and the dub step makes it sounds pretty good. he's only like 15, stop hating on him he did a pretty good job and its a cover they are meant to be different from the original
