A compilation of Janets X Factor songs from the first audition to the sing off song. No preamble before each song and no judges views! Just Janet Devlin doing what she does best! Hope you all enjoy!
Kelly stood up for her time and time again. I honestly think in the end Kelly knew X factor was not helping Janet at all. Kelly loves this girl, trust me on that
Deena A. Unfortunately all the ancillary ppl have to each ad their thing, can't just sit back and go hey, no need for me here (hear!) They might not get paid, GOD forbid! Don't you know they're artists too! the industry these days is sad.
i love her a lot, but i liked her innocent look, with her pretty curly blonde hair and not a lot of makeup. i liked that look better and her voice is amazing :)
To everyone hating on how the show changed her... it really didn't. Its now 2020 and she still dyes her hair that bright orangey red and dresses similar to this. Yoy need to understand that these shows are scripted to ensure they maintain views. They may have dulled her down in the beginng in order to let the audience focus on her voice and then changed her back near the end. Or, perhaps they did offer these changes to her and she loved them so much she kept that style. Either way she's totally successful and gorgeous today
I think she herself even said that she wanted to wear that stuff and the wardrobe department said they'd try to find things in her style (and let her wear docs instead of heels).
i would agree with you, except Janet has been pretty vocal in the past about wanting to go back to her natural blonde but her reddish hair has become such a big part of her irish songwriter appeal. if you check her comments or livestreams it really is 80% men commenting on her hair and appearance in general. i think she's made a good compromise with the pinkish hair, and she loves her tattoos even though you know half those men want her to be their pure 16yo virgin forever, so im not saying that she caves to her fans constantly by any means, but she has this weirdly toxic older male fanbase and i think it's 100% because of X Factor and it's something she can't really escape. what do you think?
dat accent. dat tone. dat unexpected, spine-tingling head tone that always catches everybody off-guard. Her voice is the most surreal I have ever heard.
What a rare and sweet voice. Today is the fist time I've heard this girl sing, and I'd have to say, she is such a beautiful person, with such a beautiful voice. Definitely one of the best I've ever heard.
Could listen top Janet all day long.. And THAT beautiful red Celtic hair..Perfect! I am so glad that she has faced her demons.. Good bless this angel sent to us from God above
what!! she was so interesting and unique the first two songs then they turned her into cookiecutter singer....WTF. she looks so much better herself too =.= and those song choices lead her to her elimination i think.
I love her voice no matter what she looks like. If you ever read this Janet... I really love your original hair, but you're beautiful no matter what. That voice is soooo unique. One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
I think that her voice was created for songs like the one she used for her audition it completely befuddles me that she would sing songs like sweet child o' mine. Other than this i am completely in love with her singing
Her audition was perfection. We fell in love with Janet there. From that point on THEY changed her . . . sorry but her audition is the only true Janet. I still bought everything she has ever done and will continue to support this angel. I'd adopt her if I could just so I can protect her. She is so lovely.
Classical case where they distroy an amazing spesial voice, to make it commersialiced. Love her first 2-3 acts, rest are just as all other girls with same voice :(
Unbelievable!?!? First time I have seen this montage. How can the sweet voice and personality from the first audition be twisted so much!! I hope Janet turned her back on the X factor nonsence. She is an angel.
Agreed...her original auditions were SO GOOD...but the direction of that show for her was not good...you could absolutely see the light in her eyes dim with each performance...the last one we got to see a bit more of who we fell in love with! But overall, she was 100x’s better than the “fit” that show tried to put her in. Luckily she’s been making music since then, she’s found her way back to “her”... and she’s amazing! Love her as she is!!
Her interpretation of Every Breath You Take, was spot on. I always felt that was the creepy stalker song. She nailed it on the head. I think I forgot to breath while I watched this. I can't believe how perfect that was. I would seriously buy her album.
Absolutely stunning beautiful singing voice 🎤 My ❤️ heart melted 💓 (first time I’ve heard of her even though this was from 2011 & it’s March 2020 now) I understand Janet was eliminated but I only need to hear this audition to remember her and this beautiful rendition of an Elton John song. Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸
Agreed..stunning voice! The show took her down a rabbit hole of “ok, change and fit in here”...NOPE (thankfully!)! She is absolutely wonderful exactly how she is and thankfully she has come back to that angelic voice we originally heard!,
Thanks for this...it is a pain in the ass trying to find each individual song on here. This helps. Love her voice. I think she is going to be a big presence.
What a voice, just incredible, wish she would make an album doing full versions of these covers, i know she likes to concentrate on her own songs but there is nothing wrong with great covers too !
Who could possibly listen to Janet and not be obsessed with her voice. If she was a judge singing out a life sentence to me I’d be probably stand and clap 👏.
Hi @Tim Dewulf - I would have liked that too, especially to hear her sing _Linger._ But on second thoughts, maybe that would be too obvious? Cheers from Downunder, Nadine
Whenever I watch her sing, I just sit stunned. She's amazing! I'm scared to blink or I might miss something. I'm a 50 yr old tuff guy, and she makes me cry! Wow.
The Sting song she sang “every breathe I take” was a Halloween 🎃 themed night and so all of the artists had to turn their chosen song into something that sounded creepy and scary to be in keep with the theme ... just in case anyone was wondering about the way she was dressed and the heavy make up situ - it was suppose to look heavy stage make up and suppose to look 👀 creepy .. I thought it was a clever turn around on that song. Love Janet Devlin! Working my way through her many albums at the moment! 💃 🧝🏼♀️ 🎶
Great, love her music! Am I the only one who thinks that her so-called mentor did her absolutely no favours and did more damage?? She should've gone so much further in the competition!
This is honestly so sad to watch. She had so much love and passion and character at the beginning of the show. She was unique and beautiful and they did everything to turn her into something she wasn't. You can watch her passion for this show die a little bit with every performance, and you can see the judges lose their passion for her too because her coach completely ruined her unique style and character and dolled her up like some pop diva. You can see how miserable and embarrassed she looks like she's put on a mask and is just acting her part. I loved her first audition and her authenticity in the beginning but by the end she's just not herself anymore. The last song here is the closest we get to her true voice from the beginning and even it's so different.
I honestly think they helped her find her confident voice. I don’t like how they changed her physically. But I’m the first audition you can tell she’s super nervous. She has a beautiful and unique voice, however you can tell she’s extremely nervous but her voice is so beautiful that it also works with her voice. I think her voice got stronger as time went on.
Janet, that took a lot of courage to post. I’ve been wondering what happened after your X Factor audition. Of course like everyone else, I loved you in your audition. Your voice is so melodic and unique and you seemed so sweet. You referred to an illusion you created. I don’t think it is an illusion. You have revealed your painful truth and what I see of you in this video is that what I saw in your video performances is who you are now: sweet and beautiful, incredibly talented and very compelling. Only now we can add courage and honesty to the list. I’m so happy for you that you faced the mountain and climbed it. I will keep on listening to you.
2021 still remember her .. so talented . Ever since I stop watching this show. For me she is a winner .. what a voice !!!!!!!! Thank you girl .. big girl now .. always a little lady ..again massive thank you Janet Devlin .
Can't stand how they Americanise everything. She was beautiful with a magnificent Celtic voice in the beginning.
She's like a Celtic elf! She's the cutest little thing! I want her to sing all the time.
Yes, she is it
For anyone watching in 2020, go listen to her latest album ‘confessional’
Already have and...
ITS AMAZING!!!!
"Better Now" just hit and it's awesome!
Love confessional so damn much 😍
This woman is literally a gift to modern music.
Kelly stood up for her time and time again. I honestly think in the end Kelly knew X factor was not helping Janet at all. Kelly loves this girl, trust me on that
2021 and I still listen to her music. Beautiful inside and out. Her voice is and will always be one of a kind. ❤️
I hate how they changed her throughout the show. There was nothing to be changed, she was perfect from the beginning.
Deena A. I completely agree! It's like they take somebody incredibly innocent and original and turn them into "one of them." It's really sad.
Deena A. Couldn’t agree more
Deena A. Unfortunately all the ancillary ppl have to each ad their thing, can't just sit back and go hey, no need for me here (hear!) They might not get paid, GOD forbid! Don't you know they're artists too! the industry these days is sad.
it could be possible she wanted to change?
also kinda don't see how she's changed except become more open when singing
She turns every song in a work of art. Mesmerizing ❤
That natural lilt in her voice is amazing.
i love her a lot, but i liked her innocent look, with her pretty curly blonde hair and not a lot of makeup. i liked that look better and her voice is amazing :)
I agree 100%
I completely agree 👍
To everyone hating on how the show changed her... it really didn't. Its now 2020 and she still dyes her hair that bright orangey red and dresses similar to this.

I LOVE her hair color as as red/orange
I think she herself even said that she wanted to wear that stuff and the wardrobe department said they'd try to find things in her style (and let her wear docs instead of heels).
i would agree with you, except Janet has been pretty vocal in the past about wanting to go back to her natural blonde but her reddish hair has become such a big part of her irish songwriter appeal. if you check her comments or livestreams it really is 80% men commenting on her hair and appearance in general.

what do you think?
there is something in hers voice that touch deeply inside
She has a pure soul...so leave her alone..she is a true artist..just needs to sing her own music!
Thank you Mr Wooding for posting this. Just how I feel Janet should be seen and heard - uninterrupted. .
I liked her more at the beginning... natural hair color, a song she picked and sang well.
she was sweet.
dat accent. dat tone. dat unexpected, spine-tingling head tone that always catches everybody off-guard. Her voice is the most surreal I have ever heard.
/^^ 98&&8
What a rare and sweet voice. Today is the fist time I've heard this girl sing, and I'd have to say, she is such a beautiful person, with such a beautiful voice. Definitely one of the best I've ever heard.
she's one of the prettiest girls i've ever seen
Its 2020 and i love her angelic and unique voice. Amazing to behold. I can listen to her songs all day long.
Could listen top Janet all day long.. And THAT beautiful red Celtic hair..Perfect! I am so glad that she has faced her demons.. Good bless this angel sent to us from God above
Unbeliveble voice !!!!! She is so amazing , She is an ANGEL !!!
Almost 10yrs later. Why isn't this girl huge world wide.
cos she turned into an alco
They changed her to sing songs that don't fit into the Celtic voice she has some can be changed but others can't. Brilliant singer.
I can't stand the fact of how beautiful she is.She has an amazing and adorable voice.
what!! she was so interesting and unique the first two songs then they turned her into cookiecutter singer....WTF. she looks so much better herself too =.= and those song choices lead her to her elimination i think.
100% agree
Goosebumps. Awesome lady!
Janet is one of the rarest Gem stone in the world!
How can ANYONE dislike Janet?!
I love her voice no matter what she looks like. If you ever read this Janet... I really love your original hair, but you're beautiful no matter what. That voice is soooo unique. One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
Thanks for the great compilation!
She is so angelic I get tears just listening to her, God bless you you little angel.
I think that her voice was created for songs like the one she used for her audition it completely befuddles me that she would sing songs like sweet child o' mine. Other than this i am completely in love with her singing
Janet thank you. You’ve helped me more than you know xxx
Love the first song, she is so innocent. Brilliant compilation sir. Thank you very much.
Thanks for putting this video together Janet is an inspiration to all
My god. Her cover of I can't help falling in love with you and Sweet Child of Mine made me cry.
Just loved this girl since the first time I heard her in 2011 AND she still holds me enraptured.
I do concur, it appears as if Janet Devlin's voice coach has deconstructed her originality.
She’s amazing. Sounds awesome and is enchantingly beautiful. She still is.
Omg love her an her voice i love her first audition so incredible it made me cry literally....... So amaziiiiing
My favorite since then💖
I've been listening to this for months and still it brings tears to my eyes . What an incredible unique voice .She is one of a kind
not only distinct but in tune voice, wow.
Her audition was perfection. We fell in love with Janet there. From that point on THEY changed her . . . sorry but her audition is the only true Janet. I still bought everything she has ever done and will continue to support this angel. I'd adopt her if I could just so I can protect her. She is so lovely.
Fix You brings goosebumps......
Classical case where they distroy an amazing spesial voice, to make it commersialiced. Love her first 2-3 acts, rest are just as all other girls with same voice :(
She is perfect in singing calm song and soft music i loce her voice!
Absolutely killer vocals....beautiful and amazing....so much Feeling and great voice
She Did such a beautiful job!!!!!
This must be how angels sound like :O........
Unbelievable!?!? First time I have seen this montage. How can the sweet voice and personality from the first audition be twisted so much!! I hope Janet turned her back on the X factor nonsence. She is an angel.
Agreed...her original auditions were SO GOOD...but the direction of that show for her was not good...you could absolutely see the light in her eyes dim with each performance...the last one we got to see a bit more of who we fell in love with!

Her interpretation of Every Breath You Take, was spot on. I always felt that was the creepy stalker song. She nailed it on the head. I think I forgot to breath while I watched this. I can't believe how perfect that was. I would seriously buy her album.
Last pictur of foorozan lesbian actors
11:16
I think the show helped her come out of her shell. To this day I don't think she realizes just how good and unique she truly is.
She is so pleasant to watch and listen too. Thank you!
Janet Devin sings like an Angel!!!❤❤❤
The first song and last song are the best
Absolutely stunning beautiful singing voice 🎤 My ❤️ heart melted 💓 (first time I’ve heard of her even though this was from 2011 & it’s March 2020 now) I understand Janet was eliminated but I only need to hear this audition to remember her and this beautiful rendition of an Elton John song. Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸
Agreed..stunning voice! The show took her down a rabbit hole of “ok, change and fit in here”...NOPE (thankfully!)! She is absolutely wonderful exactly how she is and thankfully she has come back to that angelic voice we originally heard!,

Watching this now knowing what she was going through at the time is making me emotional
The sweetest "But" that I've ever heard :)

Who could possibly listen to Janet and not be obsessed with her voice. If she was a judge singing out a life sentence to me I’d be probably stand and clap 👏.

And The variety of Great songs her Voice can do. a Touch of Cindie Lauper in it.
would love to see her do songs from the cranberrys .zombie salvation and the rest
unfortunately, she could be IN the Cranberries now. (
she has done them
Hi @Tim Dewulf - I would have liked that too, especially to hear her sing _Linger._ But on second thoughts, maybe that would be too obvious? Cheers from Downunder, Nadine

Thank you, she's simply the best
I fell in love with Janet with "your song" and not these crappy ones geez what did they do to her
Lisa Zhong totally agree with you lisa.

I love how she looked. They made her look way too old after the first 2 songs. I loved the innocent beauty
thank you for upload this video.... Love you Janet Devlin
The day this irish elf made the world more beautiful for many of us.
Many thanks to you, Janet.
You're a game changer.
The best ever original and genuine voice of all these TV programs ever.

Whenever I watch her sing, I just sit stunned. She's amazing! I'm scared to blink or I might miss something. I'm a 50 yr old tuff guy, and she makes me cry! Wow.

Actually , she was miserable in the beginning. She hated herself and wanted to end her life. THe show got her some help and she started to do better.
I honestly think they helped her find her confident voice. I don’t like how they changed her physically. But I’m the first audition you can tell she’s super nervous. She has a beautiful and unique voice, however you can tell she’s extremely nervous but her voice is so beautiful that it also works with her voice. I think her voice got stronger as time went on.

She is unbelievably great. I've listened to her three times before I snapped out of it. Three more wouldn't hurt. You go baby👍👍👍
She lives on CZcams now don’t miss it
She truly is the prettiest woman i've ever seen!:'DD
She’s the best ever
