How great to see this version. I noticed that didn't include the comment from Simon that he was a "good looking boy" on this uncut version. Amazing..even with this track he made it his own.

@IscaGill Simon says "good looking boy" at 2:38. x

Maybe it's easier with hindsight but those judges were a bit slow off the mark eh? What's all that nonsense about cheese? Will didn't learn much from them other than how to sell himself. The thing he was selling was pure gold and the same today as it ever was. The most intelligent man in the room.
