LIAM PAYNE IS BACK ON X FACTOR 2010! CRY ME A RIVER (HQ)

After appearing on The X Factor 2 years ago and getting to the later audition stages of the judges houses, Liam Payne is back again to hopefully get to the finals this time. Here we see him in the 2010 auditions week 3 impressing the audience and judges by singing Cry Me A River.

"Cry Me a River" is a popular American torch song, written by Arthur Hamilton and first published in 1953.
A jazzy blues ballad, "Cry Me a River" was originally written for Ella Fitzgerald to sing in the 1920s-set film, Pete Kelly's Blues (released 1955) but the song was dropped. Fitzgerald first released a recording of the song on Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! in 1961.
The song's first release and most famous recording was by actress/singer Julie London in 1955. A sultry performance of the song by London in the 1956 film The Girl Can't Help It helped to make it a million-selling blockbuster (#9 US/#22 UK).
In 1970, British blues rocker Joe Cocker made the chart with an upbeat hard-rock rendition on the album, Mad Dogs and Englishmen. In 1995, British actress Denise Welch's double A-side "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" / "Cry Me a River" spent three weeks in the UK Singles Chart, reaching #23. In 2009, Canadian singer Michael Bublé entered the charts with a big-band jazz version, which is also the opening track of his fourth album "Crazy Love". This version of the song was used in the BBC's advertising for, and theme music for coverage of, the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
