JLS clearly don't understand the song

Singing it like some poppy/religious anthem, with Aston smiling as he's singing most of it.

Dire...and I wanted them to win.

As I predicted, choir and key change:( Horrible and offensive to the ears

Neale · 13/12/08 - 22:10

it wasn't right, and that was *before* the choir turned up !

Louis also clearly doesn't understand that JLS are a GROUP, it aint the Aston Show!

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:10

I really like it they sang it with real passion

That song should not have a choir on it!!:eek:

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:11

And you expect 19 year old Alex to understand the song then?!

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:11

as opposed to Alex whose blats gonna sing it in a whiney tone.
they have a christmassy voice.

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:12

Totally ruined a great song. Why do they feel they have to put bells in it to make it christmassy?

I'll give her a chance. JLS certainly didn't though, for me.

FluffyBunnykins · 13/12/08 - 22:12

I thought it was really thoughtful, but I just wish that Aston hadn't been left to sing everything.

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:12

First 2 verses were great...and then....RUINED!

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:12

jeff buckley did the best version of this. Dissapointed with JLS or x factor in general, version of this song. cut most of it out, when it's possible to do this song without cutting stuff out, but make it 4 mins...rufus wainwright managed it, upped tempo on piano. beautiful.

The East 17 effect ?

*someone else probably started this before them, but they are the first that I can remember with their "christmas" single*

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:14

To be fair whether they understand the song or not they have to sing it

It's such an odd choice of song to give the winner

Whats with Alex doing the claw?

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:15

I support JLS but I prefer Alex's version.

[Deleted User] · 13/12/08 - 22:16

OMG. People, please stop complaining of someone ruinig your precious song. It isnt that good of a song.
X factor has gave it a well needed make over. :rolleyes:

After her performance, yes - I much, much preferred her interpretation of the song. She sang it with feeling and got the meaning behind the song.

I'm not an Alex fan, and it was by no means one of my favourite versions, but a million times better than JLS who absolutely ruined it.

SoapsRme · 13/12/08 - 22:17

Just history repeating itself. Last year's song wasn't suited to Rhydian and Leon did a better job on it and he won.

I think Alex is singing it better than JLS but it just suits her better.

Unfair in my opinion.

Hey there!
