This is a very good version but Jai McDowall, Rhydian and Tommy Koberg also did excellent versions. When Michael is introducing the song he misses the point of it IMO, it isnt a nationalist "Isnt this country great" song, the character is saying that national borders don't matter to him because he's in love with a girl!
I didn't really like the last note, on heart, but who gives a shit. Michael Ball is fucking amazing and he can sing any note the way he wants it....HE'S FUCKING MICHAEL BALL and I luv him....
I CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS SINGER HAS MISSED THE POINT OF THE SONG.
HOW COULD HE TELL SUCH A NATIONALIST WORDS BEFORE SING A SONG THAT TELLS COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE....................AND HOW THE PEOPLE CAN CLAP THIS ?...... MY GOD
fOLKS IVE JUST LISTENED TO JAI MCDOWALL AND SERIOUSLY HE COMES NOWHERE NEAR MICHAEL BALL. JAI HAD NO FEELING IN THE SONG WHAT SO EVER AND HE SCREAMED DOWN THE MIC............

lololol what is not to love, seriously? I kinda grew up on his version of Love Changes Everything.. what with you know my hunky plastic boom box and best of Andrew Lloyd Weber, inevitable boy bands, grammy nominees 2000 cd's XD
@config2000 I agree, Jai McDowall is brilliant. I don't usually watch "talent" shows. The night Jai was on I turned on the television & they were showing his back-story before he went on. My exact thought was "I will watch 1 of these mediocre acts then change the channel". Jai came out, started singing & I was mesmerized.
I was in the Broadway version of this show (had a stage name, not my YouTube account name). From the moment he finished I knew he would win the show. Just brilliant.
not trying to force my opinion on you I'm just saying I think Jai did a better job on it that most people it was just because he's never performed in a big group so he was really nervous
