  • olly murs is better imo

  • @2xWarp Olly Murs wouldn't even attempt this song. His lack of vocal ability would be exposed even more than his outing at the Brits lately. Only the best can do it justice. Joe McElderry is the best male Winner of X Factor. Even if you are not a fan you at least have to admit that.

    So no. If you are referring to singing your statement does not make sense.

  • @PintofGreenTea you underestimate Olly! this guy has a better vocal range and what not. but his voice is not as nice as Ollys when singing. cut olly some slack, Brits was a rlly big night and he was nervous, so he screwed it up.

  • Poor Michael. It must be awful when the person you're dueting with is a better singer than you.

  • @pipthecynical just watch him and elton sing this. Then delete your comment lol

  • all i can say is i cried when he came out gay 

  • wow, i love it joe amazing rendition.........fantastic! keep it up!

  • amazing ! when i heard it i knew hes gonna win ! he smashed the show !

  • IVE MADE A PETITION TO GET JOE MCELDERRY RE-SIGNED AND TO GET A NEW RECORD LABEL!

    it wont let me paste the link but search on facebook : Petition to Re-sign Joe Mcelderry, Like to join

    JOIN& PASS ON THIS MESSAGE SO WE CAN GET LOADS OF PEOPLE, COME ON WE CAN DO THIS! <3

  • the fact that he said that he is gay is definitely planned by the producers, just another trick to capture attention. poor boy, show some sympathy people

  • @TheJaask98 LOL are you deluded? Im sure Joe wouldnt come out as gay for sympathy! if anything, it was a bad idea to come out so soon. Not for sympathy. Use some common sence.

  • This is the reason he won :) absoloutely amazing voice! Too bad his managment are terrible. I think he's amazing and wish him the best but sadly i think he'll be dropped by his managment soon, They've gave him no promotion = No song sales. :(

  • @mariahandchristina more like silly songs promotion rather than no promotion

  • Cool

  • WIDE AWAKE IS AVAILABLE FROM TESCO, HMV, ITUNES. COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!

  • Love this performance! Simon and louis make me laughhh!

  • Who cares if he is gay?? He is still amazing

  • This was definitely one of my favourite performances of his - such clear, strong vocals and such passion! Wonderful! :)

  • All the guys from the UK ..young and old...are very..very.. Feminine

    Not that there is anything wrong with that...

    My question is...

    How do they tell the straight guys...from the gay guys..in the UK ???

    No insult intended...

  • @SuperWatchdog101 The only way we know that Joe . M is Homosexual is because he adimitted it.... I don't see anything wrong with that,

  • @SuperWatchdog101

    The answer to that is that you are talking absolute bullshit.

  • what's it with gay people and this song...elton john...george michael..joe mcelderry...

  • Ricky Martin, Elton John, George Michael...........Joe is just another in the line of excellent, talented gay male singers. No big deal. No big whoop.

  • @M00ierd .... duh, he's not gay. LOL. dont you feel like an idiot for forming an opinion about Joe when you had NO IDEA !>!>!>!? Stick to his music, not making comments on his sexuality. big DUH !

  • Lmao at Simon Cowell pushing Cheryl down when she goes to stand up at 2.20-2.21? So he can stand up before her!! Lol.. Its her act aha

  • who cares if he is gay or not he is a great singer. Elton John,Ricky Martin, George Micheal all gay all great singers

  • His voice reminds me of Gareth Gates :D

    Well....he does sound good but indeed, i dont think this is enough for being the winner of such a competition

  • i bet joe couldnt contain hiself.

  • Come on - if he's gay, straight or from outer space who cares?!!! He's got a beautiful voice to listen to and he's very nice to look at. Personally I am just waiting for his CD to be released.

  • To be honest, gay or not. hes amazing. enough said.

  • This guy has such a great talent - what has happened to him since the show? I keep expecting an album release, but nothing still!

  • @philipmah He is working on his album to be released in October. But he has been busy headlining the sold-out 57 dates X Factor tour, signed with Next Models Agency, performed at the Radio 1 Big Weekend, named as the ambassador of the Teenage Cancer Trust, etc. Cant wait for his album in OCTOBER!! Very exciting!

  • @CANate27 Thanks for the info - look forward to getting the album, cheers

  • I loved Stacey, but there's no denying the quality of Joe's voice! :) Glad he won! :D

  • the best ever by my assessment

  • Love Joe he is amazig, love this performance in particular

  • I have nothing against Joe, and I think he's a nice boy, but I don't see what's so good about his voice.

  • @wheella that`s because you can`t see it,you just have to listen with your ears.

  • I've not heard about X Factor competition in Singapore. I was watching Aaron Kelly's audition on "THE CLIMB" that brings the link to Joe McElderry. And I immediately watched all his performances. That was brilliant ! HE SURE IS THE BEST !

  • honestly he's the best talent I've seen on X-Factor for years, and I hate the show.

  • That was a memorable performance by Joe. Truly the best talent the X-Factor has seen in sometime. Joe won the competition on his own merit. Congratulations!

  • His little face when he realised all of the judges stood up to applaud him was soooo sweet. And he's got a smile that lights up a room....and a voice to die for!! Well done Geordie Joe. XXX

  • he was clearly the best singer. there was no competition this year.

  • GAWD!  What a beautiful voice coming out of a beautiful guy!!

  • Amazing.

    Hes beautiful! Oh and his voice is nice too. hehe

  • WHOEVER COMPARES david shitchuleta with JOE ,IS IDIOT .

    JOE IS THE BEST X FACTOR CONTESTANT EVER

  • @GBVrallyCI David Archuleta's voice is stale and has a clear ceiling (sorry, but seriously). Joe, on the other hand, has a WONDERFUL voice. :D

  • His voice gives me goosebumps

  • @SteveDaBozz so gay

  • I think both performed well and I feel Joe did hold back when Michael came onto the stage somewhat as not to take the thunder away from George. That in itself is a true performer. Joe, great move there as not to out shine George.

  • What an amazing talent, just a great, great singer. He is AWESOME! He is only 18, wow, wait a few years, he will be a world wide talent. Can't wait - from Chicago, USA. Thanks for posting this.

  • JOE REPLIED T ME ON TWITTER AHH LOVE YA

  • wow

  • Joe sang so much better than George Michael! George Michael was SOOO jealous, you can see it in his eyes. I bet he wanted to punch Joe for being so much more talented than he is!

  • i agree joe was the better singer on the night n atm george has this creepy look going on but george was amazing too when he was younger

  • I loved this performance... and I liked when he sang "open arms" too... all his performances were perfect!

  • best performance of Joe in the X Factor i think (:

  • seriously, people need to saying joe's gay!! he is soo not, why does every body think it, its sooooo annoying, even if he was (which he ISNT!!) it wouldn't matter and i looooove him sooooooo much, I LUB U JOE !!XXXXX SOO MUCH altogether we voted 29 times in the final!! xx

  • I knw.JOE ISNT GAY!!!!!

  • @victoria7011 but he is

  • @hippopancake But he isnt...

  • @victoria7011 He came out yesterday, check his website and all the newspapers

  • @hippopancake Oh yeah...lol....cheers for telling me...lol..how did you hear?

  • joe's got a lovely voice. but why does he make out in the national papers he's not gay. he's a raving iron. so what if he's a shirt lifter. it's his singing and personna the buying public go for. i know he's only just starting out but most people these days don't give a fuck about people's sexuality. come lok at the lad closely and you'll see he's very effiminate.

  • if hes gay then he wouldn't be attracted to female bodies but if u look at his duet with luci here on youtube u will c that he couldn't keep his eyes off her revealed belly...also joe grew up with his mother and gran who both tended to spoil him and treat him too sweetly as if he was a girl..he never really had a big manly figure in his life to teach him how to be manly and strong..but now u can c that hes really trying to become more masculine

  • i bloody love you i have said the same to my brothers and my dad or anyone else who has said he is gay

    and he also said on the paper he is straight :)

  • @basboosa He's come out...so yea

  • JOE IS THE BEST MALE SINGER I HAVE EVER HEARD ON A SINGING SHOW!

    He sings this song definitly better than david's version.

    I'm not saying david is bad he is a very good singer but i liked JOE's version better.

    And JOE will be a big star! He will not be like leon Jackson cause first of all JOE sings LOTS and LOTS more better than Leon.

    I LOVED JOE'S since his audition.

    AND HE IS NOT GAY!

    Greetsz from The Netherlands

  • You actually said "more better." That made me smile. =)

  • I actually don't get the point of what you are saying?

  • In English you don't have to say "more better." You just say "better." Its redundant to say "more better."

    In the U.S. its a joke to say "more better"...unless you actually do say it. As a joke, you say it with a hick accent and its just making fun of people with bad grammar.

  • I didn't even said more better I said BETTER!

    Use your eyes BETTER;)

  • Oh sorry Now i see it well maybe i made that fault because im not ENGLISH or AMERICAN.;)

  • @M00ierd Yea, he is gay, he came out last night

  • @M00ierd well your wrong there!

    He came out he was gay last week lol

  • @M00ierd lol but he has said he is gay this month.

  • @M00ierd joe is gay he came out...

  • @M00ierd hes well gay

  • @M00ierd 'He is not gay' - shows what you know buddy.

  • @M00ierd he is gay

  • @M00ierd actually, yes he is. He came out this July. You can google it.

  • @pildo2000 yes i know now, but back then when i said this, he didn't came out yet.

    But he's still amazing that will never change! wether he's gay or not;)

  • @M00ierd oh he sure as hell is gay...buht we all still love himm :)

  • @M00ierd LOL are you sure you don't want to retract any of those comments?

  • @M00ierd bet you feel a bit stupid writing this now

  • @M00ierd he is actually gay thats a fact! It does not make any difference to his performance but he does like men

  • he was better than george michael

  • I LOVE THIS SONG :)

  • what relevance does that have with the comment i made??

  • i dunno what most of ya are talkin about he is amazing he aint gay n he wont fade away!!!!

  • how amazing is joe.;) love him, his voice is perfect.. i hope hes not gay cos i want him xx

  • Toally agree!!

    he's not gay he fancies Pixie Lott!!

  • I think I'm in love! ;-) He's soooo good

  • @KileyLagan his voice has already chnaged...he's 18

  • Leon Jackson got sacked by Simon Cowell

  • i love joe. he will not fade out like leon jackson, because leon jackson didnt have the voice joe has. he's amazing and will continue to be. he soooo deserved to win. love you joe!

    xx

  • Joe is just amazing so glad he won...he deserved it all xx

  • This was the day Joe stepped up a few gears and took the top spot......and stayed there.

    This was that performance people that took Joe to the next level. He just got better and better after this.

  • OOOps!!! hehe wrote 'one' 2x instead of Won!!! Well im so glad he WON!!!!!!! He's is the Best!

  • He is just amazing! Kind, talented, humble, Awesome, Passionate!! Sings this song amazingly!! He had this competition from the beginning!! So glad he one!! First time i ever watched XFactor was his audition and have been hooked ever since!! So glad he one!! Awesome Job Joe! You have a great future ahead of yourself!! Stay Sweet!!

  • Joe isnt bad but he's no George Michael. Might be more like him some day but for now he's just falling short.

  • i think joe sang this song better ....(L)

  • why do people say he will fade away like the others? like leon jackson? he couldn't even sing, but look at joe who's amazing:)- so happy he won!

  • i love love love this and i actually love love love him. he's gorgeous.

  • I always get goosebumps listening to Joe singing this song. He's amazing!!!

  • that was kinda emotional- their voives gelled well id def market joe like a young george micheal

  • fantastical, bravo Joe !!!! very good !!!

  • he'll soon fade into obscurity.... just like the rest of them

  • Though to be fair, Louis was right; Elton released that song in 1974, George Michael sang it (with Elton) in 1991!

    It's an Elton John song.

    But hey, what do I know, maybe I'm just griping coz I'm the only male in England who actually can't stand Cheryl Cole

  • im super happy Joe won he deserved it :)

  • Christmas number one for Rage Against The Machine !!! You X Factor fans have had you 4 years (sic) in a row, let the rock fans have their moment in the sun for a change!!

    They (the X factor et al) have created the perfect soundtrack for this awful decade - cheap, tacky, lacking in worth, buy now pay later, superficial, trite and entirely devoid of soul or real passion. A perfect reflection of the times we live in.

  • Why didnt u say the same to Akon fans when he had nuimber 1 hit for about 15 weeks! Huh!! SO SHUT THE FUCK UP! IF WE WANNA BUY THE SINGLE WE WILL! No1 WANTS 2 BUY UR SHITTY ROCK MUSIC! WELL DONE JOE U DESERVED IT MATE!

  • shut up. idiot.

  • You can comment on the Xfactor videos on the Xfactor site.

  • Why the hell does the XFactor channel not allow Utubers to leave comments!!!!!

  • OLLY 2 WIN

  • Comment removed

  • VOTE JOE TONIGHT!!!!!! i really hope he wins he is amazing!!! REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR JOE SO HE CAN WIN!!!!

  • I love Joe and Olly can we have a two way tie?

  • I'm a fan from the U.S.

    Joe! I wish and pray that you win! You are an amazing singer!

  • He is fantasticc; i hope he wins tonight

    I met him on the trainingg coming back from londonn :) I will put it as my youtubee dp :)

  • I thought Joe outsang George too, and I adore George.Having looked at it a few times I think maybe George did adapt for Joe. Then I looked at George in his younger days when he sang with Elton at Live Aid and Joe's performance last night more than stands up to George's then. Joe's very young with hardly any experience.

    They were brilliant last night and George showed himself as a really lovely man,the only one to wish all contestants luck.

    Joe to win .

  • I saw the duet but litlle joe oversang the great george by a mile,So I've the guy doesn't win something is really wrong in britten

    Vote Joe

  • You are so right we will see the outcome tonight

  • It could also be George letting Joe shine, and rightly so as the evening was about Joe. Joe said George was very generous and supportive in rehearsals. I think he will win.

  • OMG seeing as i can't comment on their actualy duet, i will just say two simple words BLOODY BRILLIANT god can he sing, it was fantastic and Joe has to win he can become the next george michael OMG i'm lost for words it was soooo good!!! please vote for Joe tomorrow i will be devastated if he is not crowned the winner... JOE TO WIN X FACTOR 2009!!!!

  • JOE IS AMAZING HE HAS TO WIN!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Joe to win; sorry for Olly but his talent stands in the shadow of this diamond.

  • Joe has to win... He is just amazing.. And his voice mmmm... :) <3

  • Tonight's Performance with George was Absolutly Amazing!, if Joe dosent win i will eat my hat, Best performance by Far!

  • Vote Joe!

  • 1:53 - I thought he said 'I touch myself!!!'

  • hahaha.. Yeaah :D:D

  • He has to sing this tonight with George michael it would be the best performance in x factor history. Joe to win that lad is outstanding

  • this kid has to win tonight !!!! amazing voice !! good luck Joe !!!

  • 4 JUDGES STANDING APPRAISAL.

    Fantastic performance - sung with emotion and not ruined by being blown out by OTT belting.

    Louis, about your carrying on that its an Elton John song & not George Michaels.

    I have to totally agree with Simon. Youre nit picking like an old woman.

    You obviously have a very short memory. If Im correct but didnt your "act" - Jedwood, sing Vanilla Ice's - Ice Ice Baby mixed with Pressure in Queen week???

  • Louis, if youre going to bitch about being factually correct -

    What about Danyl's Relight My Fire? Thats a Dan Hartman song NOT a Take That song.

    Or Joe's performance of Could It Be Magic. Thats a Barry Manilow song - again NOT a Take That song.

    So regarding what Simon had to say to you - Louis Take That & stop your petty whinging. nana

  • I want him to sing this with george it will be a alexandra-beyonce moment cuz the two of them are amazing singers!!!!!!! Joe to win!!!

  • it has been confirmed that Joe will sing this with George Michael in the Celebrity Duet Round...

  • do'ya reckon this will be the song he sings with george michal on the finale cos i bet it would be AMAZING

  • Joe's ultimate blow 'em away performance to date

  • joe to win hes soooooo good ........

  • FANTASTIC!! I LOVE JOE!!

    WHOO!!

    It gave me shivers! He's the best thing since hair straighteners! If he don't win, I'll never watch it AGAIN,

    Xo

  • omg he is amazing

    but he aint as cute as

    Lloyd!!! no way he is HOT

  • And tht matter because? Lol..

  • For some reason I really don't like Louis..

  • This performance was "Note Perfect". Joe has the whole package on stage. Great vocals, good looks, likability and star quality. Such a down to earth and humble good natured lad. I hope he wins.

  • all four judges stood up for once!! truley amazing!

  • wonderful performance!

  • wow!! i just got the shivers!!! amazing!

  • I've been voting for Joe since week one - JOE FOR THE WIN! x

  • Ab fantastic! Makes me proud to say I went to the same college as him! He should win!!

  • love it x

  • joe is the real winner ant the note he was struggling with is at 1:01 not that he had any problem whatsoever with the song or indeed the note i am lucky to have him as a friend , i just hope people vote for him now cos he now needs it more than ever !!

  • Well Im certainly voting for him Billy!, he's such a rare talent, what a voice, he's amazin!!! n what a nice guy he seems too!, he truly deserves to win, Im watching his songs over n over again, better than the originals, sorry elton, but its true!, I wish him all the very best to win, GOOD LUCK JOE!!, I see a fantasic career ahead for Joe, and one that has longevity too!, not a flash in the pan!, PLEASE VOTE JOE TO WIN!!!

  • Joe has been note perfect on more than one occassion, when others have been flat. Being able to take on any song and deliver the goods, just proves that his voice is for real. I hope he wins, it is about time a real singer won.

  • is there any way to get this on mp3?? i absolutely love joe's version of this song!!

  • if you fins it could you sumhow send it to me please =] he's amazing
