Olly Murs - The Climb on The X Factor Final 2009

[LauraLJ91]

Joe won because he deserved it and nobody can ever take that away from him, as for people saying olly has range in his voice well they haven't heard Joe sing live. Each week Joe was note perfect and consistent throughout the whole show. Joe has had an amazing tour last year and is working on a fourth album. Joe doesn't need mimicks like the muppets or Rizzle Kicks that's the difference. Joe has a purely incredible voice and that's what its about.

[queenJC99]

btw Joe came out months after x factor so it was loads of teen girls.

[queenJC99]

Olly is doing alot more than Joe now anyway, but I still like Joe.

[queenJC99]

Wow I cant believe how pathetic people have been saying Olly is a bad singer a weaker voice than Joe.

Its a teen song anyway so its better for Joe as he was a teenager at the time.

[thurstable]

@Aznnick1134 . I disagree. I found joes voice to be very bland where as Olly has a great variation with his. Where is Joe now ? So the best person is doing well. And where is Matt Cardle ? Thought he was going to have a great career .... :(

[randomfishtail]

it was a horrible song to be chosen, not like alexander burkes song or matt cardles. very ahrd to sing

[HeyReleaseMe]

It was a bloody landslide Joe won by got over 20% more votes then Olly, so he was never going to win!

[aimeeosbornex]

at 2:51 i fell in love :)

[fishers345]

at least this one isnt gay



[MichalisRbw]

ouch he was terrible at the beginning and even i could do it better at the beginning but fortunately he fixed it but I agree with the judge that had the groups, joe has a better voice and sang it better

[DaTimeMeddler]

ollly was out of tune, weak and got some of the lyrics wrong. it wasnt rly his fault tho. this song was clearly more suited to joe

[becki177]

Olly should of won, if the final song had been a faster song such as twist and shout, olly would of won easily. joes got a good voice, thats it. olly has an amazing personallity, he can dance, and he can sing. joe looks gay tbh. also, joe would be better suited to theatre.

[bexy847]

Olly got the words mixed up at 1:18-1:22 He says the "struggles im taking"

the "chances im facing" when it should be "the struggles im facing"

the "chances im taking"

[Maanii999]

Exactlii Atleast Sum1 Gets It.. No1 Believez Me.. xx

[ThePatthestar94]

@bexy847 i thought no one would ever notice

[bamboocrazy1]

they are both amaazing singers...but joe always sings songs like this so hes got the advantage...

loveee u olly

[sr200179]

I like Olly 's version better then Joe's. Who would think that Olly could sing with so much passion.. HIS version touched my heart! GOOD LUCK OLLY in your career!

[610kittycat]

Altho i wanted Joe 2 win and i'm glad he won but i don't think it was that fair cos Olly doesn't sing songs like that but joe does

[Smevlie]

olly cant sing

long live the king joe mcelderry ;L

[starmaverick]

thats the thing. I thought Olly sang it with more charisma and feeling but at the same time Joe's version sounded better. So what I'm saying is Olly looked more natural as a performer but didn't have as good a voice

[Foetsie159]

joe's version is a lot better! It's more pure!

[BethGarb]

It's great they both have a different appeal. If you like an effortless classic voice then Joe's your man... But if you like to see the emotion and an effort, flaws and all, a real man singing... need I say more!

[ShirleyVB]

Olly's version is not bad after all, in fact it was the preferred version by Judge Louis. He sang the song with more emotion and soul. Joe though had a better voice. But as a choice, I like Olly - he had given so much joy to those who watched him, including those that are not his fans. God bless Olly, real talents go places!

[GOLLUMLOTRS]

horrid version, not in tune, cant even sing it in his own version, struggles to reach notes, he's a good person though and good act, but as far as voice no, he's more a live performer than a voice for cd's/mp3/radio, and he and joe are total ops, he does the entertaining with his body and humour,

joe does the singing, and if someone is unfortunately blind but value's music, how on earth does one pick up on a visual stage act, the fact is a persons voice will always win out in the end.

[GOLLUMLOTRS]

@GOLLUMLOTRS

but must just add to my post that if you like olly and prefer him then thats your choice, and one to be respected of course, I just dont see it myself. time will be what really tells for them all.

[mattyx07]

die u prick we all love olly

[GOLLUMLOTRS]

dont be such a child, by swearing and calling others, when your fav just isnt good enough, it's not his or your fault he just cannot sing, I will say hi to olly when I order my big mac and fries though. if I must stoop to your level or replying.

[mattyx07]

sshhh

[emziipilko1]

olly should have won'

but tbh he didnt start of to the best but it aint his sorta song' its more joes thats why joe won.

anyways when the beat got faster he owned that song.

hes amazingg !

cant wait until xfator tour ; cause he gonna be there

ollymurs' iloveyouu' youur gorgeousss ! (LL) xx

[thurstable]

Olly should have won !!!! 100 times better then Joe

[mcflyrocks26]

@thurstable ya but where is joe today..olly has a single out..an his album is out in november!!! :D

[jennie849]

helllllllllllllllllo olly you hav such a nice voice. he sings really well.

[MissElection]

rumour has it he's in the southeast of ireland and will be making appearance in waterford wuhoo hope so!!!!!

[DeathKitty123456]

:) i wanted him to win!

[patty9316]

GO OLLY :)

I was so sad because he didn't win...

He has the X FACTOR!

[recentdan123]

it's obvious even though joe won olly is gonna have a better career

[Robby7315]

He is alot better than joe !

[TotallyLisaCartoons]

olly shoud of won! hes the best :) WE LOVE YOU OLLY! (L)

[HSMLucas]

it's sad to say but he is miles better than Joe...too bad he didn't win...

[elig715]

Olly should have won, is the best in dance, she sings really conveys what we sing, I hope soon the disc .... MURS OLLY THE REAL WINNER OF X FACTOR .... OLLY, OLLY, OLLY, OLLY

[SaliemBadruddin]

Firstly, When I watched Joe singing this song, I'm totally amazed because i think he deserve to win, but, when I watch this, I start thinking, Joe win because the song is match with his voice type only, not with Olly, this song isn't for his typical voice... is it something unfair?? Good Luck Olly in the future...

[sufc112]

joe got 2 thirds of the vote, only coz he's got all the youngsters voting for him :S i wanted olly to win; he'l get a contract anyway...

[gillivinherlife09]

i dnt think the song choice was fair, it was obviously chosen for Joe, oli didn't get to show his true skills, hes a great performer, and this isnt his type of song, there he could only stand there!!!! nd he was great!!!!!!! Good lucky ollie in the future!!!!! But joe did deserve his place!!!! xx

[anicetune]

There's some real emotion in Olly's version, like the kind you hear from Aerosmith.

Joe's voice is good, but boring.

[rimmelgirl]

@anicetune yeah, i totally agree! joe's version doesn't really have any feeling in it

[jesslobb93]

i was really stuck when joe and olly sang this song, i mean i voted for joe coz he has the better voice i think olly's nerves got to him coz he was genuinley worried and wanted to win bless him, but hopefully he will be like jls and become as famous as them ecause i loved him :) but joe is a deserving winner, best by far :) good luck olly in the future :D xx you did a great job on this song xx

[yaixoxo]

teary eyed OLLY! Love u!!! u should won! i like ur version than joe

[uiuy2]

wooops i mean he .................

[uiuy2]

she shood hav 1!!! cant believe he lost!

[SuperLucy1998]

i think something about his voice was not quite right but joes felt like it was straight from his heart

[danboy0810]

anyone got this version? i want it! cant listen to the other one!

[blackrad50]

Olly well shoodve won Joe's good but the tone of his voice is the same in evry song

danyl and olly tho deyre real entertainers

[StevenNjackson96]

i felt ollys did better ... i felt everyword of da song .. and the passion ... but with joe it was nice but ... i just couldnt feel it. :/

[CookieCrumblesx]

I voted for Olly soo many times!!! I really wanted him to win! I thought he sung this much better than Joe!

[StevenNjackson96]

@CookieCrumblesx  same! :)

[JKirtland001]

he should of won!

[cayxoan]

Love Danyl, Joe and Olly equally, whoever won is just a matter the voting game, I have to admit that Joe has the Idol package. They all will do well.

Joe`s version is sweet and Olly`s is kind of sexy and soulful!

[shaunyboy445]

he should of won that hes more likeable than joe is

[Becky032]

He starts crying when he sings "Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose." :(

[GarageRava]

I prefer Olly's version...

SOMEONE GIVE THIS GUY A RECORD DEAL!!

[Samsziee]

he got signed along with Danyl, Stacey & Joe :)

[skipper0007]

this is the better version what got me how come joe only sang ballads whilst everyone sang different styles what a crock of shit olly should of won

[spon13gebob]

i love them both cuz they both relly fitt and cute xx

[wwemaria2852]

olly should of won its just because cheryl cole was crying

[theonetruered]

thats the reason joe won it!

[indzz]

[thefuture1011]

i wanted olly to win,olly proved that he can entertain and with this performance can sing also, i just think that simon just gave him too many fast songs for the entertainin factor and didnt give him enough songs to show off his voice tho sayin this joe never changed his style and kept on singin the same type of songs that suited his voice nd barely moved on the stage, i predict hes gona b another gareth gates where he will get out an album o two and then disapear, i do wish him the best tho.

[Maanii999]

Hee Madde A Misttake!!!

[theonetruered]

olly should've won...

[LoraaCharlotte]

i totaly agree i was angry he didnt

[lilmofan]

We already have a Will Young, Olly's voice sounds like a second rate version of Will, he's a nice guy but no originality apart from that freestyle dancing that looks a bit cringe-worthy to me...However I wish him luck.

[tasharadam]

ollys version was so much better, he should have won. his voice has that rough edge to it that makes the song sound so much better, olly deserved to win, he put everything into his performances and did more than one type of song where as for joe he only did one type of song, slow and boring

[fiona101]

I prefer Olly's version...far more raw, genuine and emotional. I agree with what others have said, Joe's was technically better but lacking in passion.

[senduc]

omg olly's version was much better. olly has potential to be an international star. where could joe go? he doesn't have the charisma to do shane ward style songs. he's not a girl so he can't do leona style stuff. i really don't see where he can go. joe reminds me of gareth gates except gareth sucks at singing. this performance was amazing.

[anicetune]

It's a much more passionate and raw version compared to Joe's.

Perfect. :)

Joe's version is too false, perfect, too theatrical, too Disney.

[lilmofan]

You mean rough not raw lol

[melixie]

i totally think olly should of won just because joe was such an obvious choice and i sinceraly hope olly gets a deal because come on the man has everything !

[acmdu89]

Come on, This performance was quite pitchy in some places. This song should not be sung if you do not have GREAT singing voice...MILEY CYRUS IS PROOF OF THAT....

[mgforlife2007]

why did they pick the climb

i think it would be better if they sang there own type of music not just have to both sing a shit song

[XxXdancewivmeXxX]

only once was he in the bottom two, and that is why we love him it shows ho had the courage to come back and fight.

and as people have said before me, he displayed such honesty, soul and emotion in this song that it brought people to tears.

having said all that i think joe is an amazing singer

[dearbhla1993]

better person 2 win!!!!

never will i buy joe's cd!!!!

luv u olly!!

[Sazz12]

Olly should of won, he brought something to his performances, and this performance was just amazing. You could tell how much it meant to Olly, but with Joe I saw nothing.

[dtrules7809]

I think that Joe has a good voice and has been so consistent throughout the competition, however I was amazed at the emotion Olly displayed, it was like he was singing as if his life depended on it. i couldnt vote so i said whoever is havein the most fun ill vote for and that was for me, Olly

[LUCiiNDERx]

olly should so of won x factor! they shouldn't of picked that song thou. com'onn joe has a quite an high voice, whereas olly don't. but i think olly sung this very well :). i wouldnt buy joes sort of music. i would buy ollys thou. well done olly you were amazing. you should of one! xx

[LUCiiNDERx]

he soo deseved to win tbf! joe was good, but i wouldnt buy that sort of music. but olly was amazing! lovedd his voicee. they shouldn't of chose that song thou, it wernt fair on olly. i hope he gets a record out soon. so lets hope simon signs him on!

[scazanater]

olly was the best out of all the x factor winners and runners up

[theonetruered]

deffo

[soph113m4y]

Olly Should Of Won I Think It Was A Fix yuu No Only Joe Could Sing That Song Olly Was Amazing xx

[IrishEejit09]

He Was Amaziing .. He deserved to win. Would have been some crax if lohn and edward were in the final.. :L

[CP3L]

Fantastisch performance. His best.

[jackywv]

i voted olly..joes a better song but ollys better at that song..

[emilyp13]

olly soo should have won im starting to wonder if this was a fix coz whoever i talk to they didnt vote and are angry olly didnt win. also bookys were on joe... suspicious

[lilmofan]

Joe deserved to win, he has the better voice and sang the song way better than Olly. Joe has been consistent throughout, never giving a bad performance. Olly has had a few bad moments hence finding himself in the bottom a few times.

[sweetessence91]

olly was only in the bottom once.. yes joe had a better voice but i think he just might be another Leon, hope he proves me wrong. But Olly had such a gr8 tone to his voice- and this song just didn't suit it.

[alwuex]

Olly could have gone on week 7 if Dannii chose deadlock, it could have been Joe VS Danyl or Joe VS Stacey in the final. This guy was lucky he made it that far. I'm sure he won the votes of teenage gals who think he's good because 'ahhhhh he's so hott and he dances'

[emilyp13]

he really didnt, yeah i'll admit he has a good vioce however i've heard voices like that before where as olly brings something new he can do all types of music also he is very likeable compared to joe. + he can DANCE! which just sums up hes soo much better and desevered it more than joe

[maebhx]

sorry olly fans but he was not as good as joe but he was still amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG danyl johnston is sooooooooooo cute!!!!

[claraloubbz]

Olly should of won :)

[whatalaugh7]

ive been sad all day that olly didint win! he so desers it x

[CarlyAndEmily16]

i personally wanted olly to win. i couldn't get through on his phone line. but congrats to joe. olly WILL do great in the future, and i will make sure im supporting every step of the way. joe was really good at this song. jls are doing amazing atm. and i think olly will do the same.

[entwondoor]

i love him singing this..he soo should have one :( good luck olly xx

[LilGurl28]

Both guys were amazing, this was my favourite version but im glad for joe :) best of luck to both x

[daisyw28]

I have never heard Olly sing like that! Wow!

[musickira05]

olly foe the win jow is a girl

[darlingal222]

Olly sooo should have won...joe hasnt got the x factor hes such a girl. I hope Olly does better then Joe hes so much better 2 ryte its a fix

[kirstyleanneriordan]

No one can remake this song Miley Cyrus's version is way better then JOE and Ollys lol but anyway I like Olly better then Joe coz Olly improved and Joe did not lol and people were sayin it was an open comp but it wasent coz everyone new Joe was gona win that is why I wanted Olly to win coz ppl were so confident ist was Joe and not everyone wanted him to win who were from the north east am from the north east, well anyway well done Joe and Olly I think he is going to make it as big anyway :)

[alwuex]

Olly just came across a bit too cocky for most people's taste, he never commiserated with losers when they were voted out ,just clenched his fists jumped around and away he went ,selfish git, im glad joe won, couldnt have happened to a nicer bloke

[lilmofan]

totally agree

[XdwlLisaX]

I am glad Olly did not win, because he is worth so much more than this shite song!

Let Joe have it, this type of crap is better suited to him!

[Caelia7]

Olly should have won, but I agree with you. I feel much better now about this.

Simon decided Joe was going to be his winner and decided to make them sing a song that Olly would struggle with. He does it EVERY year.

I dont know if anyone else has noticed... the song distorts a few times too.. makes olly sound outta tune. Its a bloody fix.

[domain09don10988]

i vote for joe but olly is great too

so sad when it gets to the final 2 and when olly started tearing up

[mushroom313]

who chose this climb? apparently its not his type, sh*t ...

[chanceie12]

Olly should have won , much more passionate performance

[Xerai]

Watch every year, but this was the first time I voted. I knew Joe was favourite, but thought Olly deserved to win. I was surprised to hear on TV this morning that 2/3 of the votes went to Joe, so he won quite easily... Ollys version of the song was the best of the two for me. However, Olly had to bust a gut to pull out that last performance, where as Joe did his effortlessly. Joe is also younger and will get better, where as Ollys voice is probably as it will be for the rest of his career.

[MrGwrman]

I think it's obvious what happened on the show Olly was told to throw the result to Joe because he looked liked he could cry at the end when he was talking to Dermot, maybe if he threw it he got a record contract from Simon and there's something going on between Simon and Cheryl.

[yaixoxo]

i loved Olly's version than Joe.....joe sings like in the karaoke but Olly has the good effort goodluck in the future...poor x factor winner this year! MUCH BETTER IF LUCIE WON!!!! But i do love OLLy MURS!!!!!

[sca4rface]

Are you having a laugh? I suppose you think Robbie Williams is a good singer too? LOL.

[yaixoxo]

it's not too funny! LUCIE is deserving to win, anyways Robbie's such a great singer and entertainer...and u?lol!

[kirstyleanneriordan]

same lol I agree with you 100% and yeah Lucie should of won but I loved Jamie lol but I love Olly haha but I would of loved if Jamie or Lucie had won this x

[Katie9428]

and this is not better than joe's at all, the british public are a disgrace if they think this version is better. this just proves olly is nothing without his million back up dancers and singers.

[dobo262626]

thats because he can dance,,, joe is as stiff as a board

[Katie9428]

how is the x factor a fix because joe won? umm fyi more people wanted joe to win than olly. he's a better singer for one, and it's not a fix. well, i voted joe 12 times tonight (sad i know) and it took me ages to get through it was so busy. so proof that it wasn't fixed. i know plenty people who had so much support for joe too.

[xAmethystAngelx]

Joe and him were both good :)

[spon13gebob]

THE REAL WINNER XXXX

[mikeymclean]

how can u guys think this is better?! its like a nervous guy doing karaoke.. pissed!!

[dobo262626]

im sure the real winner will show the true colours in the charts........ OLLY MURS (REAL WINNER)

[sweetessence91]

prefer this version to Joe- can't wait 4 Olly to make his own music- I LOVE THE TONE OF HIS VOICE!

[sofielouwy]

this version was better!!!!

[keeffy73]

this version way better than joes such a pity we wont get 2 buy it ahhh well thats xfactor for ya or should i say fix factor..

[snevetse]

surprisingly i preferred olly's version. joe was good too. and now i'm curious to listen to stacey's version. really am.

[bittersweet2507]

I also prefered Olly's version :) Anyway, my favourite to win was Danyl :)

[sarahmcdonald100]
