  Sam simply never connected with the song. Knowing the original this was a really poor cover.

  Corporate greed?! Wasn't the original by Demi Levato?! The very definition of corporate and manufactured!
  
  And yes very greedy of them to be handing the profits to charity. :rolleyes:

  I don't know either of these songs, so can't comment on the originals but didn't think much of it tonight.

  Demi Lovato must be spinning in her grave. I doubt she thought her opus would ever be used such.

  Hope Nicholas wins so that Skyscraper isn't released.

  You make it sound like it was a great song in the first place, the original is also shit!

  Hated it. Somehow she managed to make the song sound dated and Celine-ified.

  Must admit it was a little bit of a letdown but knowing and loving Demi's version it would be. Might like it more when I hear the recorded version (if she wins Lol). If people who are new to the song like it, they should buy Demi's version.

  That's what I thought, except for a big Celine style warble at the end. Bad karaoke.

  I thought I would hate it cause it's such an emotional song but Sam got the emotion down EASILY!

  Ironic that a short man like Danny DeVito would do a song called Skyscraper
  
  Oh wait...

  Personally prefer Joe McElderry's and Sam B's version of the song.

  I wasn't moved by Nicholas or Sam's winners songs performances
  
  Unlike when JLS and Alex did Hallelujah

  Demi's version is far better due to her emotion in the song.
  
  Sam still sang it well.

  I quite like it.
  
  Like others have said, the arrangement is pretty much the same.

  Yet you watched to see who the winner was. You're probably a fan in denial. Come on, you loved it really.

  I like Sam, I just wish they'd left the song alone.
