Melanie: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheXFact...19/_3jPnV_2HZk

Misha: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheXFact.../3/p_WSn_KMxU8

Who do you think sang best?

Melanie , no contest i reckon .

Melanie EASILY. I prefer Misha overall (Melanie is one of my US XF faves though) but it was the wrong song for her.

Melanie is in a different league to Misha who is a very average singer. It is no contest Melanie is better by a country mile

Melanie definitely !

No comparison, Melanie is way better.

I think you're all letting your dislike for Misha blind you. Melanie must win XFUS, but she was sharp in the chorus. Misha wins this contest for me.

Can i add to this Leona Lewis's version ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bme1-faevFM

Are people saying Melanie because they thought she was better singing it? NO. its because they dont like Misha.

Misha was pitch perfect throughout. Melanie was flat on most of the big notes.

I dont watch the UK version anymore due to the lack of talent. Therefore ive judged it on the two versions posted

One thing I noticed fromwatching the US factor clip is that I can see what is miising from the UK version with the Judges. Simon manages to bring a bit of dram to it. What we have in the UK is just bickering judges and silly comments from Gary
Not saying Simons where neccessariily god but he build some drama into them and makes them interesting

I thought Misha was better and she made it her own too and I don't even like her

I like Misha (not my fave but she is ok) but she was not a patch on Leona (2006) last night

^ This. As soon as Melanie hits the "one more door" section, she has problems staying in tune. Misha had no such problems.

I agree with Alexandra Burke though that the low key on Misha's version made it sound quite different.

This is easy. Melanie gave on of the best performances ever of this song, bar Leona.

Misha was in the wrong key and it was a slower tempo. Just mediocre and did not really work.

Melanie, she is the best in the show! Love the girl.

Melanie! no comparison here...

Melanie by a country mile

I hate that song anyway.

There is no way on US X-factor that the acts are not getting help with their voices. There vocals sound crystal clear which means production techniques are helping them sound good. I like Melanie but even her Listen sounded like a studio recording.

Melanie by a country mile! The comparison is ridiculous.

Its like comparing a Rolls Royce (Melanie) to a clapped out Vauxhall Corsa (Misha)

Your Rolls Royce needs its transmission fixed. It sounds pretty squeaky on the gear changes.

And that's coming from someone who isn't a particularly big fan of the 'Corsa'.

Melanie is my favourite on XFUSA, Misha is my favourite on XFUK. With this song, I would have to say Misha did it better.

Melanie sounds better imo. I just don't like the tone of Misha's voice on the song.
