[Fruityminx]

I may start weeping because I just love him so much, I was honestly so upset when he got voted out. I threw my slipper at the tv, I'm not even joking. Please keep on being amazing. Love you forever Declan :')

[WolfStarr10]

Oh my gosh I love him :3 His BEST performance. cant believe he was in the bottom two after this!!

[prinia]

sheesh mel, don't you know that Guy LOVES surfing? There's quite a few photos around of him, and its also one of the reasons he lives near the surf. Declan is amazig. I'm waiting for an album please

[iNdiEverlasting]

hope we hear from him again. He so good. I think it's been between him and Reece the whole time. I half happy Reece won and Half sad. That sadness is for Declan.

[amieHERSELF]

I don't like how Mel calls him "Decland" Lololololol

[Bossness123]

This is AMAZING! He's so shy yet so outlandish! I LOVE HIM!!!!

[lozzithemozzi]

amazing and emotional!!!

[Johnathonq51]

Thankyou for posting this. He looks like he really enjoyed performing the song. A great comment from Sharielliot He did deserve a standing ovation and I reckon this performance should have won him the show.The guy can sing and what an entertainer. At 15 Somebody get behind him PLEASE and start him recording music. Thanks again.

[moeguy9999]

Good Luck Declan,your life has so much going for it. Record hits for me. Jockey Jane in USA

[ForLivingJesus]

OHH DAAYYUMMM, WHAT A HAWT MUTHER FOCKER! (;

[satexguy1]

he probably really has no interest in doing boy~band ballads like this, but at least shows he can mix it up if he decides to pursue career now, rather than wait til he's out of school.

[TheCheesedownunder]

I am sad. X factor is boring now.

[Spiderpig3898]

I MISS YOU DECLAN! FUCKIN LOVE YOU! <3

[ChocolateFountain101]

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH <3

[teegy97]

i love him!! he's sooo funny!! :)

[JMRequestrian]

i love declan, what a freaking hotty.

[TheCheesedownunder]

I am very sad. Declan was the only thing I looked forward to every week (on X factor!) . All the others are just the same every week. (except 3 wishez! going for them now...) But very disappointed. :(

[jackvidgenluva]

My Graduation Song <33

[GoddessReliefOffice]

I have to say that I'm not normally all that for new male artists but Declan really pulled out the stop with this song. The song is a great song that has never been a huge hit for Alphaville but so many artists have done their versions of this song and I have to say, Declan really did this song justice.

For a 15 year old, this kid is very talented and he shouldn't let these praises go to his head and just put the same effort into every performance.

[KysenMusic]

He only almost went out 3 weeks ago because everyone was probly like he would get it so i dont need to vote thats what happend to christna and reece

[MrPaulztube]

Your the best Declan, Im a grown man but you put tears in my eyes when I hear you sing. I have a son with Aspergers the same age as you. He has had a hard time with being bullied to, but things are getting better for him now as he grows older! He is not into music but I see so many likenesses that you have in him. I so wanted you to win Xfactor tonight & I cried also when you got voted out. I wish you all the best for the future & hope Australia sees much more of you. Love you Declan ;-)

[escho10]

@MrPaulztube OMG I cried so much when I read your message. I love Declan too.

[MrPaulztube]

@escho10 Thanks for your message ;-) Declan forever!!! :-)

[Caboose4rpresident]

Three Wishez should have gone tonight.

I actually was no big fan of Declans, preferring Reece over the lot, but he won me over with his Beatles performance. Though I'm still a bigger fan of Reece I felt Declan deserved to be in the final 3 at the very least. And as much as it sucks to admit, Reece should have been in the bottom two tonight (If her were, three wishez would have been done for). I'll be keeping my eye out for this kid in the future.

[ShortStackFangirl]

I am so sad that he has gone, he was such an amazing performer. Such an original No carbon copy here, no black eyed pea's, no Justin Timberlake. No he was so unique, he would have made it huge had he won now all I can do is hope and pray someone picks him up.

[locoroco2798]

How the hell did those stupid fake, mainstream bitches get through?

Declan is amazing. He has the looks, the personality and the VOICE.

I love his style. He's amazing. I really hope he continues singing-- I'm going to be one of the first fans. :'(

[ewinburger]

what the actual fuck. how does johnny ruffo who is flat as hell get through and this amazing, quirky, original guy get voted off. heart throbs will get forgotten and replaced, but people like declan sykes are remembered. nice work champ.

[locoroco2798]

@ewinburger

I KNOW RIGHT! It's so sad. :/

[MrRegandmac]

I love declan <3

[ThePurplebluehaze]

This guy will be a legend..

[jiklo0]

he's shit.

[zakkatak155]

he ruined this song for me

[baby158127]

when i listened to this the first time i got goose pimples. he has the voice of an angel. i love him so much & i hope he wins!

[LiesBehindMirrors]

lol I was just in the middle of arguing with a friend over facebook and then I was randomly like "Declan Sykes is gorgeous..."

[JustAnother13]

I Must Admit, I Like To Sing Along And Pretend Its A Duet :3

[razerbeem]

I used to think this song was boring, then I heard Declan sing it :')

[ladyfinger2603]

Australia needs Declan Sykes. He is our male Gaga. Just LOVE his uniqueness!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!! And his voice is as good as he looks. Pity he is half my age.

[HammySarah]

im secretly fucking this kid! <3 _ <3

[luvthamusik]

@crunchiedog yeah his girlfriend tries to get to as many shows as she can but its hard, you know end of term and all that and in another state. He misses her so much.

[96tabatha]

@crunchiedog geezz sorry! i dont freakin watch the show ! btw if you read by freakin comment you would see i said DONT TAKE OFFENCE!!! i was just asking!! seriously calm the fuck down!

[ThePurplebluehaze]

Love this voice, this guy is from another universe. Absolutely love him.

[fallfearless18]

this song is beautiful, he's beautiful and amazing. the way he sang this was absolutley fantastic, your incredible declan. <3

[coolprincessnot]

to be honest this song and him made me cry :') because he is amazing

[parksey4]

Declan has the loveliest voice and he is soooo damn adorable! I hope he wins

[flurogreen]

Ugh this performance was INCREDIBLE. I like this side to him.

[TheAmbam26]

Ahh this is beautiful, and he is beautiful... voice, and especially his smile! This guy can make music amazing (not that computer generated rubbish we get these days)... i would actually pay money for his records =P VOTE FOR DECLAN!!

[phreshzor]

goosepimples, wtf is that ahah ?

[KayzaAndTayza]

@phreshzor another word for Goosebumps lol :)

[96tabatha]

guys and girls dont take offence to this i dont mean it badly or anything im just asking!! is he gay ? i love his voice! :)

[tslapar]

sorry, but start of this performance is bad, bad , bad... sorry, but i wont listen to the end... vocal and instrumental dont merge....

[Lozaey1234]

so many of my friends think reece is better than declan, and they think he can't sing. how do they think he can't sing when listening to this? I personally think declan should win the x factor cause there is no one else like him in the music industry. Where there are many christina's and reece's.

No way Declan should have gotten into the bottom two last week on this performance!

[ecermusic]

@Lozaey1234 Maybe because Reece is a real rocker and not a emo poser.

[Lozaey1234]

@ecermusic if u think that he is a poser, then why are u even watching this video? huh?

[ecermusic]

@Lozaey1234 if you love him so much, why should my opinion on him matter to you?

[haler15]

Gerard Way look alike :"> by the way, very talented boy! <3

[MsHumoresque]

This boy is divine! What a voice! Love him and would totally buy his album too :)

[DERAJYDAC]

this guy should win, i dont watch the show, but his talent is undeniable

[ShortStackFangirl]

I was heartbroken when he was in the bottom two, I thought this was just magical!

[angelzap100]

I have absolutely nothing against this young boy. I think he's a sweetheart. I must make this suggestion to other viewers, however. Look up the original version of this song by Alphaville, listen to it, and then come back to comment on Declan's version.

It's not really fair to compare, but nothing can beat the original. It makes this version sound very dull. I still DO like this kid though. I guess I'm just too attached to the original, which is phenomenal.

[cinemaniac86]

I can't believe he wound up in the B2 after that! It must've been some weird lingering karma from the previous week or something, but even so, hopefully Declan fans in Australia don't get complacent and let that happen again. I'm hoping Declan *at least* skirts by through another week, if not two. Ideally, he'd at least make the Top 5 for me. For me, this performance was the #1 of the season thus far. Excellent <3.

[Dj2anime]

LOVE you Declan<3 Even if he doesn't win hope he still follows his dream because I will SO be listening in.

[staceylee181]

Love this song and certainly sang it very well :) 

[harlowemmerson]

his voice is so velvety and smooth!

[mrspancakes1998]

at first i didnt like him. his performances hid his nice voice shown in this video. i honestly like YOUNG MEN SOCIETY better.

[mrjimmyy12]

declan is a legend

[sharielliott]

I cant get over the fact that Declan was in the bottom two. This was one of the best performances of the night! Defenitaley deserved a standing ovation from EVERYONE!

[RubyRighteous]

@sharielliott I know right?! What the fuck is Johnny still doing there.

[00wen1]

ok how did declan get in the bottom 2 and johnny didnt? I think there is either something wrong with the public or it is has more teenage girls than i thought.

[ShortStackFangirl]

@00wen1 It's the australian way. support the under-dog sadly :(

[Cammy3212]

This guy is fucking horrible.

[masterfreak616]

i duv woo deccy

[jayrockslol]

IFUCKINGLOVEYOUDECLAN! <3 Marry me? <3 Fuck the peoples that almost voted him off :'( i cried when he was in the bottom two....

[MrBLAZEchapman]

[Coachlisamca]

your voice is so unique cant wait to buy you album ;)

[notsolubleinwater]

I hate this show but I love this boy.

[MidnightSky52]

Why was he in the bottom 2 tonight? -.-

[ebruivanak]

this is terrible....lolllllll

[thatcrazeerandomgirl]

@ebruivanak

you're terrible.... seriously.

[sharielliott]

I love this so much.

[flurogreen]

Seriously, I'm not his biggest fan (REECE FTW!) but this performance was phenomenal.

[OrangeTexta]

So glad he made it through the bottom 2, sad to see YMS go though.

[tubee103]

WHAT?!?!?! This is absolutely HORRIBLE,,what are you all talking about???

[bonniechio]

[EquineArtistify1]

this is my fav performance by Declan :) Go Declan :3

[myra666devil]

everything perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

[doppelganger47]

can't believe he's ONLY 15! seriously...

[doppelganger47]

he needs to get his glasses frames tightened, because they seem to keep slipping down his nose. i don't think him playing the guitar really added much to the performance. i'd rather just see him standing there singing it. great song choice though.

[foxie710]

IT WAS SO GREAT THAT I ALREADY WANT TO LOVE HIM FOREVER

GREAT GREAT GREAT LOVE YOU

[bonniechio]

best of the night loved it so much

[kooliejulie]

it was cute when he was smiling :)

[zandilyn1]
