  • Beautiful & very moving. It was through you guys that I even knew about this song, and what a special rendition. I hope this choir is still standing! Love, Keisha

  • they were my favourites too! I worked on the show helping out with the website, and got to see them singing a couple of times. man the shivers down my spine were immense and it still brings a tear of joy to my eyes when I watch this :)

  • that guy singing is amazing, thats why they lost, cus if i remember the black woman says she wants to hear them singing more as a group, and then apart from one other thats all they did really...they should have just had him singing most of the time...

  • i liked the oxford lot who did the spiderman thing

  • This song is amazing anyway and they just pumped it up to the max! Beautiful rendition :D and the main guy singing, when he sings on his own at the end...oh my spine! The whole group are amazing! xxx

  • ANTM55 - how can you watch that performance and then use the words 'bog standard choir' and 'boring'. How can you not be moved by watching this gem. sure it wasn't perfect, but it was moving, beautiful, soulful, emotional, etc etc etc - how about those words !

    Yah kill me...love yah xxxxxxxxxxxx

  • they are amazing

    i dont understand how them welsh ppl won :s

    x

  • soo good

  • chutnetbagels,if their is one thing that makes me puke it isa White ethno-masochist whining on about imagined"racism".It's a PC knee-jerk reaction.They are even more pathetic than a black person laiming "racism" where none exists

    Dance and music tend to make people ignore differences and just enjoy the music, and there is a cameraderie among those who make music or dance to it.

    Maybe you should try finding it.I dance with all sorts,it doesn't bother me what they are when I dance with them.

  • I'm sorry but its a travesty that they didn't win - they were SO much better than the whitey welsh groups. This is amazing.

  • I love music no matter what colour of skin the singers have.

    I really enjoyed the singing of Revelation, but as the judges said, their arrangements were very simple. The Welsh CHOIRS had more parts in thier songs and the arrangements were more difficult.

    Perhaps you need to learn more about choral singing? :)

  • whitey welsh groups?

  • well i'm a whitey and firmly beleive that this performance typifies the GENERAL point that black gospel music is more soulful and has a deeper musicality than white choir music. Shame middle england is generally rascist and/or simple.

  • by far the best version it has feeling

  • Beautiful

  • why does the big bloke always look as if hes gonna cry?

  • its called emotion ...

  • beautiful voices, beautiful songs...tears in my eyes..

  • They look so happy, they made me feel high - i'm hooked on gospel.

  • i love this better than the take that version!!!! great stuff should of won!

    xxxGemxxx

  • thats mean....nah...stop that.

  • did they win any1

  • no but they shud have

  • I agree

  • its really nice!

    i like to win this choir!

  • love it!

  • I just love this !!! I would love them to sing it at my wedding on November 2nd 2008.I just feel they are sining to us. Beutiful Thankyou Hazel

  • this is the 1st time i actully listend to the lyics.

    well done Revelation

  • I think you are so right ! its wonderful!

    much nicer than the original!!!!!Evan though I love take That!

  • i get shivers EVERY time!

    defo my winners for sure.

  • love it!!!!

  • Now those guys have soul....my winners for sure. Keep the faith guys cant wait to hear more from you!!

  • I would love to hear them live..They were my fav..and I loved their interpretation of this song. That guy has a lovely voice..brings a lump to my throat everytime I hear this song..Well done..hope you guys are proud of yourselves!

  • I know. robbed! they were great!

  • When they sing this song it makes me happy =]

  • The only time I have used a vote in any talent show over the years and it was for Revelation in the final. I have watched them and this song in particular over again many times on the TV show. The personalities of the choir are so diverse they draw you in. I have rarely seen such a talented group of in 50 years in the music industry. They may not have won the final but they will easily outstrip the winners OMA. We are going to hear a lot more from Revelation. Well done guys.

  • thank you for the music

  • They brought a new meaning to the song.. they should do a copy and release it as a xmaz single will go straight to number 1..

  • they brought a whooole new interpretation to this song

  • wow they are so good, would love to have them sing that at m wedding.

  • The BEST in the whole competition, no doubt! Well done Revelation and THANK YOU!

  • d r stil sik dey shud of won!!!

  • All the finalists were great - each could have one but THIS interpretation by these singers was heavenly. the three guys at the start blew me away, the words were heart felt, truly wonderful, well done!

  • i really wanted them to win :'( revelaation are amazin a touching piece truely magical

  • I just hope the BBC are making a Christmas special featuring some of the choirs from the live shows. If anything lends itself to a Christmas special this does!

  • didnt like this song until i heard that gorgeous man sing it, i love him! xx

  • amazing song, really shows what the song is about. should of won :) x

  • touching song!

    i love the way they sang the chorus...

    it's shocking that they didn't win...

  • The reason they didn't win is simply because they didn't get enough votes. Did all those playing the race card actually pick up the phone and vote? they were out standing and should of won. my teenage grandaughters and myself were in tears every time we watched Rule the world. we can't wait for their C.D to be released. so people if they had recieved the votes they would of won. we voted more than once throughout the series every week. did you???????

  • I think the reason they didn't win was because there was too much solo singing and the rest of the choir sounded like backing singers.

    They are wonderful singers, pity they didn't choose something more choral.

  • Yes, it did tend to be David plus backing group. I don't we've heard the last of them though.

    What I liked about this show was the respect for the judges' opinions rather than booing them all the time.

  • Who mentioned racism?

  • there were always too many racist grannies in the world for these to win... best choir ive ever heard

  • lead vocalist sounds like John Legend !!

  • I never got this song until now

  • I think irs ridiculous tht they never won, they were the best by far. But i spose white britain havent been brought up listening 2 tht kinda choir in there churches so wudnt vote 4 them

  • Don't use the racism line i'm white ENGLISH not welsh scottish or irish. Revelation in my opinion should have won it

  • I wish they would record this as a christmas single they would stop whoever wins Xfactor been at the number spot at last soooo easily i for one would buy it i never buy the xfaxtors i am so bored it always been .They are so talented.PLEASE RECORD AN ALBUM FOR ME!!!

  • Sensational

  • gives me shivers every time.

  • i totally agree with misstinda, i mean i will say no more.

  • i think the general public are deaf! these are the obvious winners

  • the begining when he sings is so bad. but the rest was ok, really wanted ysgol glanaethwy to win though

  • agreed,the beginning was just the result of nerves but the song is so beautiful and sung so amazinglyyyyyy they totally shudda won dudeeee!!

    =[

    <3

  • If my local church had a choir like this I would be there every Sunday - And when they sang 'Ain't no stoppin us now' everyone in our house was out of their seats and dancing round the living room! They should def have been in the final after that performance.... and one. And I so wanted to hear your third song. Please record and put on youtube. Revelation You did us proud - you have a big fanbase and your going to do well. Stay Blessed

  • They were wonderful.I wish themthe best for the future.I bet they get a record deal out of this

  • North East London produces the best Singers in the UK. Revelation, Lemar, Leonna Lewis and Amy Winehouse. You could tell that the other choirs were a little embarrassed that Revelation didn't make the final 2 because they knew they weren't as good and had far more people in their choirs. But congrats to Men Only Allowed, they are not my cup of tea, but they are the best white choir in the UK.

  • Revelation are from East London

  • Lemar was the singer in his competition that had the big career and we have already forgotten who came 2nd and 1st and the same will happen to Revelation, if they keep singing songs of the quality of Rule the world. I would buy that now if they released it, it would be a huge hit in the USA. Remember the only black person to win a TV talent show is Leonna Lewis, she is mixed raced and was so much better than the other finalist that if she didn't win, we would think the BNP was voting on mass.

  • Result was so predictible. Revelation should be proud they were the only world class choir in the show. The show is called Last Choir standing not the best choir standing. The same happened to Lemar when he came 3rd in TV vote final when he was clearly the best, but because the others were Scottish and Welsh they got this massive block voting and the English for some reason don't like voting for black people. If the Revelation to final 2 the winner would have a little more credibility.

  • THEY ARE THE LAST CHOIR STANDING TO ALOT OF PEOPLE..... But the voting was predictable..... I mean; What do you expect for an all black choir in a country full of whites? I am not meant to sound racial, but its as real as we all know. Either way, they ruled my world all the way.

  • I love the big guy!!

    Hes so gooood!!

    And the rest of them obv!!

    i iwsh they didnt get 3rd ):

    they deserved to be in the final 2

    the other choirs were brilliant tho

    i loved this series!!

    XOXO

  • Revelation should have won, pity the voting had to be so predictable.

  • They are the winners in my eyes

  • Shud Hav WON!!!

  • Ugh! They should of totally won! DX

  • The whole of Wales must have voted for the other two finalist!!!!!!!!

  • I can't believe they didn't win. Their perfomances in the final blew me away.

  • WHY DIDNT THEY WIN :( :( :(

  • This gives me goosebumps, I love them. I really hope they win.

  • I love Revelation, they're my favourite choir in the show. I really hope they win, they're amazing!

  • absoluteely gawjuss... fall in lovee wit thiis evry timee i hear it.. =]

  • In one word - Wow!

    Like the 1000th time I watched this and still the same feeling

  • i get goosebumps everytime i watch this!!! x

  • Such joyous magic by Revelation! Has anyone noticed how the Take That version has been getting much more airplay again since it was beautified? (and that's not being disrespectful to Take That, it's a GREAT song)

  • That's my main gripe with boy bands; some good songs are written for them (or by them), but they get murdered by horrible arrangements and production (or just bad singing).

    A great performer with a great voice can usually bring out the good qualities in any song. A lot of the songs on my 'can't stand' list are only there because I also can't stand the artist(s).

  • now i actually really dislike take that

    but when i heard this i fell in love with it

    it has made this song bearable =)

  • I loved this - the way that Revelation can just turn the volume up whenever they need to is incredible (and the sheer joy on some of the girls faces as they belt out "rule the world" line is fantastic to watch). They are a relatively small choir, but able to produce a really big sound (and their small/quiet sound isn't bad either).

    Great stuff.

  • Their amazing. Im not sure who I want to win!!

  • hold tite trevor and david ma god brothers VOTE REVELATION 2 WINNNNNN

  • dese ppl r gud

    dat big guys like sean kingston in disguise :)

  • SAN KINGSTON CANT SING DIS GOOD M8

  • JUST BRILLIANT!

    HOPE YOU WIN.

  • Still gives me tingles BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SERIES. Revelation to WIN!!!

  • this is the most amazing performance they have ever done and it is an amazing song... Thye did a great job. Revelation all the way

  • this is the best performance in the whole competition in my oppinion

  • The only time this song has ever made me nearly cry is when Take That sang it live but this...it actually nearly did too (:

    I love them they're great!

    x

  • he was off a bit still at the beginning

  • amazing

  • i think this is better than the take that one! i cry everytime i hear it! its brill!

    Revelation to win!

  • 1 word.. AMAZING! Thats some serious mix!

  • Not many people can pull Rule The World off really well (apart from Take That) but they did it! Take That are better though.

  • I missed the final so I dont know who won : (

    These were my faves xD

  • The final is this weekend :)

  • Ohh... Good :P

    I thought I missed it whilst I was on holiday, thanks for letting me know :)

  • They are Amazing .. the song is really touching when they sing it and when take that sibng it too though .. I absaloutley love the harmoney though (L)!

  • not to keen on the start of this song with the squeaky squeeling hmmm

  • How's he sing '' a bit camp''???

    It's called soul, love.

  • So?

    Is that a bad thing?

    This is pure talent

  • Oh I love this Choir soooooo much! I really hope they win xxx

  • this gives me goosebumps, its perfect

    acm to win though :)

  • Without doubt, one of the best songs of the competition. Waaay better than the original! (Sorry Take That fans :-) It's just a shame that there was a slight moment when the male singer went slight off key at 1:36. Let's hope we hear more from Revelation, regardless how they get on in the competition.

  • I disagree lol.

    It's different because of the tone of their voices so it contrasts completely to when Take That sing it. It is a nice version but i completely prefer Take That.

  • Ahh I can't stop watching it :P

    I love TT and they actually almost beat that!! :P

    They really deserve to win!!

    x

  • they did this so well, i hope they win cos they deserve it

  • Revelation are so good! Especially this song, love it, well done to them for doing a Take That song sooooooooo well!! (:

    Revelation to win!!

  • that really gave me goose bumps, didnt really watch the series but i heard these were good, love these guys, loads of passion, the 2 blokes are quality!!!

  • Fabulous! But they're going to have to deliver songs like this EVERY time to challenge ACM. You can do it.

  • Revelation are out next week...

    they cant be saved again...

  • no way should of been in bottom two tonight absolutly class good to see trevor back his solo was really good and proved they dont rely on david all the time even though he is brilliant, u can still win this believe

  • Well done for getting through - I voted for you!!! Your version of 'I Belive I Can Fly' was again QUALITY!! Have faith and you'll do it xx

  • Brilliant!

  • If this comp was based on one performance they would win easy, and this version of the song is probably better than theoriginal 2 be fair. It is a great song i hope they win but i cant see it as as there other efforts are no way near as good as this one.

  • This is the most amazing version of the song ive ever heard ! THESE NEED TO WIN THIS COMPETITION !!!

  • this song gives me goosbumps its one of their best performances.... it was a shame tht last saturdays performance wasnt as good... revelation 2 win :)

  • These, ACM or Ysgol Glanaethwy to win!
