Especially because he didn't change the lyrics to suit the gender. Good on him.

Fab! Mel B. wouldn't recognise talent if it slapped her in the face. She's a heartless cow too!

I thought he had a lovely voice. I could listen to him but not watch. Strange expressions

He was okay but I don't think he is X Factor live show material.

It was the arrangement of the song that was really impressive. His voice his good, but he moulded that song into something distinctly his own. It was wonderful to see such creativity.

He reminded me of Steve McDonald from Corrie so much, I have no idea why

I also appreciated that he didn't switch genders. I find it sooo cringey when male acts on the show change gender words in their songs. Just own it and be confident enough in yourself, instead of getting all "gay panic" about it!

He was clearly gay - note rainbow coloured guitar strap - but why does it matter?

He was really entertaining, I liked him. He wasn't the best, but he was good.

Meh, there are thousands more of him doing generic acoustic covers of songs on YouTube. Nothing remarkable, although I did like the way he phrased "sugar coated candyman".


He was okay but I don't think he is X Factor live show material.
Pretty much. We've already had one WGWG flop in Matt Cardle and were lucky to get shot of James Michaels when we did last year. Let's not go down this rocky road, just ask American Idol where it's gotten them.

It's a bit awkward for a straight guy saying another guy makes your panties drop though, isn't it? I like when people change the lyrics cause it shows they made an effort.

How awkward was that exchange though. Spice Girl fan and gets called irritating by Mel B. Just wow. She could have shut her mouth and saved him the embarrassment.

That was my point, in the past we had gay guys on the show (some came out after and some were aleady out) and they have always changed the lyrics to sing a song about a girl. It never made any sense.
