Thoughts..? Not terrible, but not great.

How anyone had any doubt he was gay is baffling after watching that.

It's kind of a non-video. Nothing really happened and the scenes weren't engaging enough for it to just be a purely visual video.

Cheesy campy crap tbh. The dancing. Oh god. The dancing.

The song is growing on me though. Guess we'll see if he can pull off the high falsetto for practically a whole song, live. He didn't ever do that during the X Factor, so I'm wondering if he can naturally sustain it beyond a few minutes in the studio with all the editing.

It'll be tough on his voice to force it, and considering i don't see a pop career lasting long...he needs to keep that pure voice for theatre.

I can't stand the song or his voice, but I watched out of curiosity. It's cringeworthy, like something from one of those current music shows by Disney.

Goodness, Joe, just because you can sing in your head voice doesn't mean it's going to sound good.
His voice really doesn't suit the high notes, he should stick to belting.

Anyway, the video is really cheesy and he can't dance at all.

This has been autotuned to death! Poor Joe I thought he won because every week he had spot on vocals or were they autotuned on the show?

1) Yes the videos shit
2) Yes the songs shit

BUT, i can guarantee most of these comments are quite bad and offensive simply because he came from the xfactor, they're frowned upon on DS forums, get a life... -.-

The only reason this song - or at least this version - exists is because of the X-Factor, though...

And, the only reason it's going to be popular is because of the X-Factor.

Thus... relating it to the X-Factor in a negative sense is fine, because it is!

Regardless, it's awful. If he wasn't famous for being on the telly box the song wouldn't have seen the light of day.

Yes, but unfortunately the xfactor IS around. So get used to it, he wont be here for long!

Besides, i love the xfactor, not for buying music, it's just great entertainment. Besides, i love Diana Vickers' album

It's going to. Normally it wouldn't even hit the top 20, but he's going to go on the X-Factor the weekend before it's released, hence it'll get to the top.

It's no coincidence that the first live shows are on 9th and 10th October and his single is released on the 10th (download) and 11th physical, is it?

No one is arguing that. I watch the X-Factor for some mindless entertainment. I just hate everything that comes after it.

Did it really take him a year to do that?! What a waste, Joe had so much potential. Does no one know what type of music is his sort or something, does no one know what his voice suits?!

Even when Good music is produced? E.g. Leona (minus her personality, or lack of it), Alexandra (Yeah, Diva, but she has a really good voice and her musics pretty good) and Diana (most people dont like her, i do! ) Im not mentioning JLS because they need to go away, rapidly.

That's horrendous in just about every respect. It sounds terrible, and the video is just laughable.

But i'm sure the British people will get it to number 1...

This entire post contains no examples of good music.

Everyone mentioned is just doing what they have to do to make as much money for Syco as possible. Further to that, they are about as original as magnolia walls in houses.

Agreed 100%.

Leona warbles, Alexandra sounds awful (Bad Boys has one of the most irritating musical sounds i've heard since the Crazy Frog!), all of Diana's songs are unoriginal and derivative, and JLS...well...don't get me started. If TXF actually produced decent musicians i wouldn't be against it, but all they ever pump out is identikit singers who belong at Butlins...

So general consensus is its a pile of shit then?

The song isnt too bad its a grower, but that video sure as hell isnt! Wow that dancing is horrid!

Looks like Joes going the way of Leon, or maybe seen as hes gay we will cut him a bit of slack. Doubt it though with a video like that!

Actually, Leona and Alex have outstanding vocal ability, and just because they don't sing songs in a style you like doesn't mean you should go around slating them.

Its so annoying when people hate on their own homegrown talent just because they came from a TV show. They are releasing the music that they want to release. We should be proud of our talent instead of constantly attacking and slating them because they came from XF.

It's all scripted from the initial stage. They're not looking for someone with actual X-Factor. They just want someone who has a good voice and can, in some cases, dance. When they pick people with "different" voices, they usually just sound like Adele, Duffy etc... you know, the people who are selling records

If he had not done a cover after taking 7 months to record an album and he had released something that was actually good then i would of priased him but he has released a pile of poo.

I mean Leona came back with Bleeding Love , now thats a great pop song.
