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 :)
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 czcams.com/video/oPwXZOsmXis/video.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
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.
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 ❤
Qué interpretación tan exquisita y bella ! Gracias Sr Matt. Siempre vuelvo a ella, para sentir y admirar esa entrega artística total ! Proporciona un gran momento espiritual, emocional ! Gracias. Sigan sus éxitos
My God!!!! How changing the tone of one song became some thing extraordinary with the prodigious voice of Matt Cardle. It means, Matt is an artist with great talent. Thanks Matt Cardle for so much enjoyment. ¡¡Bravo!!
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?
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."
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
Holy cow.....that made my heart yearn for a good women, which, through life experiences, i know only exists in my dreams.....Brought tears to my eyes....
2024 and still my number 1. For those who don’t know Matt Cardle, he is sooooo talented.
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 !😆
My favorite , I love his face in this one. I can't sleep without hearing his voice
This is such a beautiful song and him singing it pulls so much emotion out of me that I want to cry.
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

100 per cent true stunning voice 1st time I heard this song I new he'd win the x factor
The best ever performance on a TV reality show, unbelievable vocals
This song still haunts me today. Matt should be a music legend by now with this talent.
I agree .
Matts's rendition is by far the best by any artist and he is truly in the land of awesome
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 still come back to this video 10 years later for goosebumps
Me too .
I will never tire of hearing him sing this song. His voice is seriously a gift from God.
+Ken Torres
Agree 100%, for me this is the best rendition of this song, and that is no mean feat
I AGREE WITH YOU ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
It just doesn't get any better.... remember tears in my eyes watching this with my wife, she's now left us but this performance was always her best
This song kept me alive when I was alone. But I’m so happy that my love Roms is back
This version is special he has never performed it as dramatically or courageously vocally as he did for this performance.
Still the best xfactor performance ever 12 years on.
I think I’ve watched this a 1000 times, never gets old ❤
I agree with you Jerilyn , I love it so much .
Me too :)
this song is from the movie Play Misty for Me...one of eastwood's first movies in the 70s. this cover is breathtaking
Better than the original!. Love it!
My Daddy used to sing this to me. Thank you
I remember this audition like it was yesterday.

Still watching in 2022 ❤️
oh god I love uuuuuuuuu & thi's song's,,,,,,it's tune filled last my sad my mother & father life history,,,,,,i lost my mom & father,,,,,,,😢😢😢😢😢😢
No one sings this song better than Matt Cardle.
Stole the nation’s heart with this song bless im
Most deserved winner by a mile
Hahaha and Harry Styles was the first one to congratulate him by saying “you’re gonna get so much pussy now”. Oh, the irony 😂😂😂😂
Here in 2021 - still amazing.
2022
Is it possible that a simple song bring tears to your eyes..??
This did actually give me goosebumps when he sung it I watched it on TV and thought wow just wow ❤ beautiful
That has to be one of the best ever songs sung on X factor
His vocal coach/mentor deserves as much praise as he does damn incredible...
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 czcams.com/video/oPwXZOsmXis/video.html
Danni is the best judge on the x factor, she won with both Leon and Mattl she was also the best mentor.
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
One of the best versions ever ..love his voice

What a fantastic version of a classic, Matt was amazing and should be a music icon....where did it go wrong!
A wonderful rendition of this beautiful song, sung with sheer perfection and l absolutely love it and never tire of it, and l’m sure l never will.
Same. The original by Roberta Flack is so haunting and mesmerising. You don’t imagine anyone can do it justice.
Matt is the best singer. He is in a completely different to any other male acts in the history of The X Factor.
My God!!!! How changing the tone of one song became some thing extraordinary with the prodigious voice of Matt Cardle.
It means, Matt is an artist with great talent. Thanks Matt Cardle for so much enjoyment. ¡¡Bravo!!
