Did people really not like Steve's song or has his reputation over the years put people off from ranking him higher
I actually can't remember how his song goes?
I liked Cannonball, but the song didn't suit Little Mix, it was too mature for them.
I agree with DS on that to be honest.
Leonard Cohen = Great
Jeff Buckley = Awesome
Rufus Wainwright = Great
Any other version has fallen way short for me.
Ironically When We Collide & Cannonball are probably my two favourite winners singles if you are looking at the original. In terms of the cover versions I would have putt Matt Cardle ahead of Little Mix but the original songs are awesome.
It was also the biggest selling single by a British female until Adele recently overtook it. It also broke a European record for the fastest selling single in a 24 hour period.
It is also to date, the most successful winner's single released by an X Factor UK contestant.
