  • olly was weak and out of tune in places. He also got some of the lyrics wrong. But this song was clearly more suited to Joe. But then, when was the xfactor ever fair

  • He wouldn't of lost if they didn't give him a fucking Miley Cyrus song, i hate when the shitter people win. e.g leon whatshisname won over rhydian, wtf?

  • love olly's version . olly's awesome xD.

  • yeah i mean joe probably had a better voice but so what? I don't mind joe but i would never have voted for him over joe! olly even without the moves would have been a better winner cos he was so interesting

  • ollyyyyyyyyyy! we are so proud of you since you're always unpredictable! Keep up with good work and hope to hear from you soon!

  • if u listen to the song bk u will see he sung it wrong he sings " the struggles am taken the chances am facing" AND it should have been " the struggles am facing the chances am taken " so if he could sing it rite he mite have fuckin win JOE is king fuck olly

  • love it!!:)

  • WTF - he looks and sounds like he hasn't had a crap for about a year.

    DREADFUL.

  • good luck olly

  • RAGE OWNED COWELL!! enough said

  • Olly sound have won because he is an amazing singer,dancer ,all round peformer and he has the X factor which is what the show is all about and i he sang this song with such emotion and he sound so amazing whereas Joe while he has a great voice he is really boring and is just like anthor Leon Jackson and will have faded within a year and Olly will prove to be the real winner in the long run and as JLS and Susan Boyle have proven you dont have to come 1st to be amazingly succesful I LOVE OLLY!!!!!

  • WHY WHY WHY did Joe have to win?????????

  • Olly is more emotional in this song. He also makes the song into his own and more of a pop song whereas Joe's version is exactly the same as the original which is boring. Olly should have won because he is more suited for the industry. What kind of songs can you imagine Joe singing?

  • my gorgous olly :(

  • Olly sooooo shuld'v won joe is shit

  • Joe deserved to win defo has the better voice if you go listen to Joes version n then this olly is so shaky n jus cant sing it as good as joe can :) I loved olly but defo Joe deserved to win :)♥

  • OLLY SHOULD HAVE WON LOOK HOW EMOTONAL HE WAS GO OLLY HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE IN 2010

    (EVEN THOUGH IT IS 2010)

    lol

  • olly is better ,,, joe is boring ,, fair enough joe has a better range but when olly was givin a slow so ' theclimb' he brought a fight to joe and should have won ,,, but if the song in the final wassomething like twist and shout do you honestly think joe would have won? even bpeople who love joe should admit olly is better overall !!! we love you olly ,

  • Great Fight Olly! You're a great performer! You're a GREAT singer. Your not only a singer you're really a great performer! Keep it up Olly!

  • wow wow wow. I'm not one for cheesy songs, but he really sings this. What a gorgeous performance. Hope 2010 brings Olly what he deserves.

  • and can i say sumit i'm a geordie and joe doesnt make me proud... he is an embarrasment!!!

  • joes shyt

    OLLY IS MINT

    SIMPLE AS!!...

  • No one noticed he messed a line up in the song at 1:20 , no posts about it either...he sings" The struggles i'm taking, the chances i'm facing"  its pretty noticeable.. its supposed to be " the struggles i'm facing, the chances i'm taking" ... woops

  • joe is a better singer and has a higher key range, olly's voice is stronger but, honestly i recon joe's version of the single is better

  • CHEC MY NEW MIX OUT

    SFE

  • Joe's a better singer, but I loved Olly's version of this song more than Joe's.

    So emotional.

  • Ya know, I can really hear the amazing amount of nationalism an prejudice that went into the voting on this show. People voting for someone simply because the are Scottish or from the North and that was all that mattered. And then there's the pre-teen crowd, especially the girls that would clearly vote for the one closest to their age. When Holly interviewed people from about 24 on up, it swung over to Olly every time. But they likely didn't vote a million times in a row.

  • This was by far the most emotional and sensitive performance of this song. Olly sang this with such conviction. He has soul and depth to his voice and performance that is often lacking in someone with a more classical voice. It's amazing how in a few short weeks Yvie transformed Olly into a number one ballad singer as per this performance. This is the one video I feel compelled to watch again and again of all those made during the X Factor program.

  • naah .. joee deserved to win he was the betta singerr by far! :)

  • its not about who the best singer is though its about who has the x factor and olly had the X Factor.

  • I Think Joe Was The Real Winner, When Joe Sings He Puts So Much Emotion Into His Voice, He Is Making Us Geordies Proud Hes Living The Dreaam, Hes Gunna Make Millions Of Hits,

    Laureeen (:

  • YOU'RE THE REAL WINNER, OLLY!

  • so much better than joe.

    joe was too predictable, and flat.

    Olly Murs is amazing.

  • xZohan you are propa rightt Joe is crap and Olly was so much better.

  • joes version of this song is shit! i hate joe he may be a good singer but all he can do is ballads were as olly can do anything hes an ammazing entertainer and he deserved to win! joe had no emotion in his shit version.. this is class only because the effort olly puts in it is fab! far better all together love you olly ! your a winner in my eyes <3

  • should of won by a mie! gives me goosebumps when he sings, hes gorgeous! x

  • he so should of won!

  • I lOVE OLLY

  • I LOVE OLLY MURSSSS!!!!!XX

  • Olly should have won.

  • Olly would of got No.1 !x love you LOOOOAAADDDSSSS

  • sucsribe 2 me if u thought olly was better

  • i was for olly all the way but i'll admit joe sings it prob better than him but the emotion olly puts in it makes it so much better than joes. olly was a better all round singer.

  • joe is much better it sounds like olly had a cat crawl down his throat,took a shit and died joe deserved to win

  • I absolutely loooove this version, his voice is amazing, much better than Joe's version.

  • he messes up the words at 1:20

  • emmm no he doesnt what version you listenin to

  • yeah he does he says the struggles im TAKING the chances im FACING rather than the struggles im FACING the chances im TAKING.

    still think he should of won though

  • @MrLucyandlucy oops just re-listened - ur right- sorry- and yeah i agree

  • joes version is prob vocally better but he doesnt put any emotion in it. this is class only because the effort olly puts in it

  • i sorry but joes version is better

    not that im sayin this is bad .....its gd but joe is better

    :)

  • fair play to joe but olly deserved to win

  • Olly should have won....His version was so much better!

  • im not even a danyl fan thought he was full of himself but his version of man in the mirror was the best of that night and one of the best in the comp. olly is class shud have one better entertainer than joe.

  • olly was a cool guy joe was a loser. olly puts so much emotion in this song. he's a better entertainer as joe was a one trick pony. olly shud have one

  • Joe was better than him, but Olly was good. I think olly should have won though so he could definitely get a record deal and Joe would have got a record deal even if he didn't win

  • i LOVE Olly's version. :)

  • i support olly :) but i think joe won coz his voice kinda suited this song if olly gets a record deal he will be beta than joe tho :)

  • Joes version was so much better.

    Olly sholdnt even be there.. Jedward got more votes than him when they were in the bottom 2!

    grrrrrrrr.. Olly struggles with that song and it exposes his voice for what it really is..

  • Olly should of won :D

  • X Factor was graet until the end OLLY SOULD HAVE WAN!!!!!

    Olly is the best!!!!! Love him!!!

  • i HATE olly!!

  • I have bought Joe's version; however I think both Miley's and Olly's versions were soooooooo much better... it's something with the soul in the voice. I hope Olly gets a record deal, he deserves it. Simon, do something!

  • Olly Shud Have Won!!!

    He Was Much More Of An Entertainer Than Joe... The Last Song Was More Suited To Joe Which Was Unfair!!!

  • This message is for Olly haters! :@ sorry, but if Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue- the people who have judged Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis say that Olly was good at this song, then obviously he was! Oh and Simon is signing Olly next year and he will be releasing a single early on in the new year!

  • @laurenmaxwellxx , what do Simon and his crew of judges know??

    I cant believe you actually listen to them..

    for example, danyl was outta tune for alot of the begiinings of his songs, yet they applauded him?? wtf!?

  • OLLLY OLLY OLLY should of won!!

    he was great looking amazing dancing and outstanding singing. he put so much emotion into the song i cried!

    OLLY OLLY OLLY .

    anyone agree??

  • i think joe was better at this however i wanted olly too win :)

  • Of course you cannot post any comment on the "official" XFactor channel.. and they say we did vote?

    Not a song for Olly, or at least they should have improved the musical arrangement, what a drag.

  • I <3 this version so much, I cant stop listening to it.... I love Joe's version too, but Olly's got so much emotion in his voice... he's brilliant singing it, even if its not note perfect!! I loved them both, didnt know who I wanted to win in the final.... I really really hope Olly doesnt just disappear though, Id be so disappointed! Youre brilliant, Olly! :)

  • i'm sorry but that's not emotion he is actually struggling with this song. i just don't think it was his type of song. i mean olly is good but joe was always the better singer. COME ON PEOPLE GET JOE THE NO 1 HE DESERVES IT!

  • its weird i understand what ppl are talkin about sayin that he was really shaky but i tought that it was a fantastic performance and i really wanted him to win

    although joe was the better singer :/

  • oh god he is actually awful singing this

    he gets the words wrong

    and he voice is really shaky

    im glad joe won

    but tbf olly has been better in previous weeks

  • 1:21.......olly sings the words wrong...he says...."the struggles im taking, the chances im facing"....lol

  • it still makes sense tho?

  • OLLLY SHOULD HAVE WON PEEEEOPLE!

    but he has simon cowell , so he is deffo gunna get somewhereee x

  • Comment removed

  • olly is not good in ballad

  • olly deserves to be in the final..and i really2 like him...hope he will have lots of records in future...im surely gonna buy it,,,

  • wow i never really liked him but his rendition of this is AWFUL!i love joe :) so glad for him

  • sometimes, you have to lose.. but its the CLIMB! isnt it? ill still be your fan!

  • olly should of won!!! joe is a one trick pony, not entertaining at all!! no-one will remember him in a year!!

  • olly so should have won his performace of the climb had far more emotion than joe's did. Olly was much better than joe :)

  • I think they were both good but olly will sell more reccords because i dnt see joe doing a current album i cn see him doing like covers of old songs does anyone agree?

  • I like Joes's version but Olly's version has more emotion. Olly will make millions and Joe will make millions it doesn't matter who won they will both make a valuable living! Good Luck to both Olly ans Joe!!!

  • @Valkyrie2468 it is more emotional but the singing is shit he's dreadful joe was right to win at least he sounded good even if he wasn't as stupidly emotional as olly

  • didnt matter who won look at jls

  • I have never voted on X Factor before after these years of watching it. But it all changed after this song. It was just written for you, Olly.

  • I am sorry but Joe will be no where in a year. Olly was much better anyway, he has more of a personality and spark about him, he will be beterr in the pop industry. RATM to get christas number 1, Joes version puts me to sleep.

  • haha, i played Olly's version and Joe's at the same time and it sounds absalutely horrible. Separately they are both incredible.

  • gay boy won but we will see who  will be more famous and sell more records!!OLLY MURS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This video just makes me so sad :((((((

    He should have won, it's just not fair!!! :(

  • Olly's version is so, so, much better in terms of "pop" music. he sang it with lots of character; scoops, grit, chest voice, head tone -- the lot. Joe's versions is more musical theatre and very Celine Dion -- very clean vocally but absolutely zero character. He sang a cheesy song and then added a ton of cheddar to it. It's like listening to Michael Ball singing the signature song of Friends. I'd buy Olly's version any time.

  • I couldn't agree more!!! I love his voice so much! And I'm so sad people didn't give it as much credit as it deserves! I'm glad for Joe, but there's absolutely nothing exciting about his songs/performances... Olly!!!!! I hope he'll get signed, I hope Simon arranges things so that he becomes what he's born to be a superstar <3

  • ok: danyl sang through his nose

    joe sang like andy of little britain

    and olly is the only singer with the full package...hes the only one that will sell records...joe will die out within a year

  • shayne ward was already a singer in 2002 but then was lost and came back into the limelight through x factor in 2005 and is active to this day he isnt gone...he just isnt popular in the UK...and its the same with leon jackson he is still active, he is just not popular in the UK ... you people need to get things right i mean COR!!! you stupid twats...we arent the only country in the world...and tbh it doesnt matter "who should have one" joe won so just shut the fuck up!!!

  • olly should of won but the runners generally do better than the winners anyways so everyone who bummed off joe shush :)

  • he shuld have sang superstion he is great at that he was sopost to win ilovehimxxxx

  • Yeah that's the problem with the judges deciding. I didn't really like Danyl though, I mean there's a difference between being confident and being full of yourself. And did anyone else notice that Olly and Joe both did The Danyl with the mic? It wasn't annoying though, like when Danyl threw it I was always hoping he'd drop it. how long do you think he practised in front of the mirror?

  • It was obvious Joe was going to win. But I think it meant a lot more to Olly than it did to Joe. See how he cries? I feel so sorry for him! I loved all the finalists except Rikki and Rachael (someone please kill her-she HAD to hog Joe's moment!). Stop complaining about him getting the words wrong. The point is he has a good voice. I can't wait til I get to see him and Joe and the other 8 finalists that I actually like (Lloyd :P:P) in March!!!!!

  • to all the people sayin that joe was the best singer he was nowhere near as good vocaly as danyl but everyone new that danyl didnt need 2 win to get a career in music

  • yeah danyl got top spot the amount of votes he got wen he was on x factor

  • he will should have won joe is just boring and one dimensional he will have one album then vanish just like shane ward and leon jackson did

  • he got the words wrong!!!

    The struggles im taking, the chance im facing! Switch taking and facing Olly!!

    I guess you cant complain with the result if your singing the wrong words :S Although superstition was world class!

  • I like this version and joes version, but lets face it, they cant beat the original :)

  • should have won..

  • he was really good but he messed up the words at one point and is a little shakey. I get that he was nervous though! I wanted Joe to win but Olly is still amazing!

  • his voice was creaky because he was nervous! dont be so mean. me and my boyfriend think hes great and i love him.xx

  • Joes version is so borin its like listenin to celine dion.... u can hear the passion more in ollys one... u can tell how much he wanted to win!! hes gonna have a much bigger career i think.... hes the whole package

  • the emma2481 are you deaf or what?

  • olly smashed this song i think he should of won just by his voice on this song and raw emtion i love ollys version wud buy it no doubt about it. dont get me wrong joe is gd nt as gd as olly thop

  • i think they were both good at diffwerent things but joe had that better voice. but i wanted olly to win as i rerally liked him and he is local lad as i live 15mins away from himm. he is awesome. olly version of the climb was better =]

  • what a song.. i would buy this if he had one.. dont like joe singing it tbh

  • he sang much much better than other finalist...he know very well how to sing SING...SING dartling sing.....och goooosshhh

  • in the final olly clearly was better joe was good but olly was better with superstition and this song, he sings this well better than joe i just hope he keeps tryin like JLS n doesnt vanish like some of the others i will defo buy any of his records

    we now have another john barrowman n missed out on another robbie williams he wont last like leona. he is good tho

  • These days there's enough entertainers out there, but not so many big vocal singers anymore.

  • dont really know what u guys are on about saying this is good,saying he can overcome any song...can you not hear how insanely shakey and out of tune he is in this??? this really doesnt suit his voice. Joe deserved to win. Note perfect throughout the whole series =D

  • I agree. Olly's voice was shaky and cracky. Joe was note/pitch accurate. Olly has a unique voice but I don't think he is a good belter.

  • He is really good. good luck!

  • Olly should have won, he proves here he can over come any song thrown at him. I think Simon Cowell gave him too many energetic dancy songs which didn't really give him a chance to show his voice. It wasn't until the last moment we got to see how good a singer he is. Actually this song is strangely reminisant of Olly "Some times I'm gonna have to lose, Aint about how fast I get there... It's the Climb". Learn from these lyrics Olly and keep climbing...

  • aww bless him he cries at 2:54

    he should soooooo have won

  • no he doesn't. are you blind? Olly is amazing (:

  • If I were a judge I would say : Sorry Olly but I think your terrible, Joe is 10x better

  • Well Done Olly I Love Both Of You :D I Fell In Love With This Song And You :D x LOveYou :D xxxxxxxxx

  • in my opinion i thought that olly had just edged the win after this brilliant performance!!! i thought that he was slightly better than joe!!!!!

  • I thought that both of them were brilliant, both great in their own ways, it didnt matter which of them won. People who keep slagging Olly off are intitled to their own oppinion but come on you dont have to be nasty about him, he clearly has talent and can sing, maybe his voice isn't as great as joe's but he's still amazing!! Good luck to Olly and Joe!! x KT

  • sca4rface your chatting shit, olly has just be signed up by simon cowell and going to release a single so im pretty sure olly will still be known in a couple of months.. hes a legend.

  • fuck me there both gonna be millionaires whats all the arguments about

  • olly has never said he is the best singer! a talentless prick is going a bit far dont you think. he cleary put his heart and soul into this performance, fair enough its not as good as joe! But he was in the final with joe for a reason, so back off! Olly all the way. LOve you olly xx

  • no one will know joe either.... anyone remember leon jackson?? he won once... where's he gone?

  • lol he got dropped by his record label in march, cant say im surprised tho!

  • i thought Olly Wass Reaallii Good But Joe Deserved To Win Joee Sings Every Song So Perfecctt...Theyy Weree Bothh Amazinngg..(; x

  • olly should of won! yeah, joes the better singer but he sounds the same EVERY SINGLE time. i would never buy his album, i'd get bored of the same sounds - would be like watching the same programme over & over. olly was entertaining, not too bothered anyway - olly will do better than joe just like jls done better than alexandra last year..

  • i totally agree with everything you've said

  • love olly..! dis wasnt a good song for him hope he goes far! xx

  • he had more passion singing this then joe!

  • I love Olly and there were moments in the song where he sounded good, but I think he doesnt have very good control. When he sings fast tempo songs he sounds fuckin awesome and really powerful. Joe can sing anything and is technically the better singer, GO JOE!!!

  • Really crap song for him to sing. After all his leaping around and antics they make him sing this like a member of Westlife wearing a G-String...

  • Olly Murs sang this better than Joe.. and no offence to Joe's fans.. Olly performs better than Joe.

    Joe looks lousy and too soft when singing inspite of the great voice.

  • OLLY MURS SHOULD HAVE WON!!!

    listen to the words....

    "sometimes i'm gonna have to lose"

    "theres always gonna be an uphill battle"

    "IT AIN'T ABOUT HOW FAST I GET THERE"

    Olly will be bigger and better than joe.....joe will have winners luck and have AN album then move onto the west end olly keep smiling because you'll go REALLY far!

    doesn't matter whether you win or lose its what you do with your dancing shoes! and we all know the boy can dance

    OLLY MURS FUTURE POP STAR!

  • olly murs was robbed the judges should known it was not going 2 suit olly great were joe has dat girly voice dat can sing it im startin 2 believe xfactor is a fix ........olly shoud won has the total package was sick wen joe won never dislike a contetant as much as i did joe.......olly ur future is brighter than joes :):):):):)

  • There is nothing about a Joe McElderry performance that makes it any different from listening to his single. I certainly wouldnt pay money to see him stand there singing in concert. Olly is an amazing dancer and puts on a great show. This performance shows he can sing really well and hit the big notes just like Joe (although unlike Joe, he isnt always pitch perfect ).

  • He sounded more contemporary than Joe, IMHO. That's probably why the other male judge preferred his version over Joe's. Joe's voice is more old school. Joe has the better voice, but Olly voice is more "current".

  • not the right song for olly!!!

    that song was meant for joe adn joe only piss take but i do love how he sings this here sounds so soft *melts* mmmmmm :D

    OLLY MURS YOU SHEXY DEVIL :d

  • OLLY MURS IS SEEEEEEEXY! luvyou!

  • I watched bothveriothat ns again, completley impartially, and though Joe sand it better, this verion gave me goosebumps! Olly sang the best he ever has, he put EVERYTHING into performance and I do think he should have won. But oh, looking at JLS comepared to Alex, 2nd place seems a better opputunity for those who can perform.

  • it's a girls song obviously joe was gonna sing it better but olly is the better performer.

  • right, reality check guys, he sung this awfully, i dont care if your in love with him and wanna marry him the fact is joe sung this song better, and joe also sung with alot of emotion, it was there last chance to get their dream ofcourse it had emotion

  • I HATED both Olly and Joe for most of this competition but I have to admit I completely fell in love with Olly on Saturday and totally think he should have won. Still not that keen on Joe though but oh well...

  • This song suited Joe better and Joe might have a better voice but Olly is a much better entertainer. If i had to pay money to go see one of them it would definitely be Olly.

  • Olly should have won !! He sang this song with such emotion :) xx

  • Olly good :] but Joe was better

    still i think Olly will have a great singing career :)

    Olly is soo sexyyy!!!!!

  • am i the only one who thinks this was very flat? my ears must be hearing a different frequency.

  • Olly shud of won he is sooooo much beta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxx

  • joe may have sang the song note perfectly, but olly sung it with emotion. This version makes me cry :'(

    Hope we see him in the future, cuz i think i am rather in love with him JOKES lol

    but his version is breathtaking

  • i totally agree with you, joe has the better voice but olly put so much emotion into this and its more appealing to watch because we can really feel he means it. although i backed joe to win id rather pay to see olly in concert, and i do prefer his take on the winners song.

  • he got the lyrics wrong lol he said the stuglles im taking the chances im taking...its the other way round lol oh well i love olly :0 (L)

  • Joe McElderry Won!

  • your amazing. You deserved to win. Your voice is amazing and i love you(L)

  • I like it a lot. But I gotta Say. Joe is a Btr Singer. Olly, is a very good! performer However, yeah!
  • i thought this was a lot better versions then joe's, its such ashame that this song was definetly Joe's song, but Joe's shit, we'll see him next year in panto why the heck did Joe win? the boring sod

  • this song was picked so that joe could win. its obvious olly couldnt do a song like this, it's just not his style. the same as how hallelujah was picked for alexandra burke to win.

  • olly should ov won for sure

  • It was a mistake that Olly didn't win, but people will come to realize that when he just like JLS get further then Joe.

    I hope he brings out an album and a single. He is amazing.

  • awful cover

  • Joe totally crushed Olly out, he won easily (61.3%) to Olly (38.7%)

  • Personally i think Olly should have won, his perforance of this song was better (tho obv not as good as miley!), also, i think he can sing a wider range of songs, whereas the other lad can only pull off ballads decently. Oh BTW, before anyone bitches on me, im completly unbiased cos i dnt watch x factor, and i only watched it this wkend cos i was staying at my cousins.

  • Miley has never sang this live so how u could say something stupid like obviously not as good as her....
