To this very day....That is by Far my Favorite performance by anyone, on any show, at any time ! Simply magical. The ability to give me goosebumps.... After countless times viewing it !😆
Trevor S yes it scares me still wow what a performance tears goose bumps and all just and yeah I think you're right it's right up there Susan Boyle also close to that but Matt wow thank you
can we just agree that this is one of the best vocals of one of the best songs EVER - musical genius WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12 years later , I watch every singing show and this is still my #1 . There have been some great singers and performances since Matt but my vote for best of all time is this performance.
Lost my my beautiful son almost 3 years ago. Have listen to this song countless times. Miss him dearly whenever I listen to this incredible version. ❤️
Matt's version of this classic song reduces me, a big owld Geordie bloke.. born an bred on the banks of the Tyne... to a pile of quivering goo.. this has never been surpassed as the greatest ever xfactor performance.
I remember this audition like it was yesterday. That week the love of my life had moved thousands of miles away to live in the middle east and it brought me to tears. 12 years later and we are now married and she lies asleep beside me now expecting our first child while I stroke her hair to this rendition of the song. Love has a way of finding its way :)
Just 1 question. . . . . . .has Matt became a superstar because he has a superstar voice and I hope he made it big in the music industry and he deserves it too. . . . . . .
You mean the coach he had, like, 5 years before the show, and who suggested he'd relax his voice more, which resulted in him gaining an octave in range? ;-) This is him around that time ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oPwXZOsmXis.html
When I hear this rendition, I picture myself floating in outer space with the love of my life gazing upon the majesty of the universe feeling ultimate love in my heart gazing upon the wonders of the galaxy and taking in all of its gifts. It's rare that anything can give you that feeling and this rendition did that for me. Best version of any song I've ever heard
Remember when he starting sing this, I said to my wife, he best not mess this song up as ots one of my favourite songs, by god he done it beautifully ❤
This song is for the most sexy, gorgeous, amazing, fabulous, beautiful, tender and loving human being in the whole Universe ..... you know who you are .... still feels like yesterday ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you Matt
If i were a Judge on the show I'd be like..."WHOA...WOW. Damn. Holy Cow Dude. Unbelievable, man." Simon was like "Holy crap man. Damn...i knew you had it in ya... 'bout damn time he got to hear it". Good...No. Excellent job."
May 2021. Has a soldier I first listened to this song in 1972 in the main cookhouse in Palace Bks, Hollywood, nr, Belfast . The song was sung by Roberta Flak on the old jukebox, (fabulous acoustics). The song was and still is my all time favourite,for me to listen to. That was until one Saturday evening watching ITVs, X factor, Mr Matt Cardle sang this song. It is to my mind the very best version of The song, First Time Ever I Saw Your Face . Thank you for posting this condensed version of his performance that night. John and Sara R.
This one's just full of emotions that I keep on coming back to this performance. I mean, Celine Dion's rendition is stellar but this one for me is just beyond perfect. December 2020, anyone?
