That was great!

Bo’s version is etched in my head from all these years ago, but that was very commendable.

he needs to win. the other guy who I will not name doesn’t compare vocally and Joe is way more humble and down to earth, no drama!

Very pretty voice. On key. He’s cute. Could be a movie star. Hope HE’s NOT GAY.

That probably just set him up as the clear favorite to win now. Good job!

Marie: Name 5 male pop stars from the UK who aren’t gay. I’ll bet you can’t! LOL

krbcan: The last I heard, Stacey was considered the favorite to win. I don’t know why, but the public seems to just lover her. Maybe because her horsey face reminds them of Camilla. hehe

all you really need right now to become a crowd and judge fave on xfactor is to be cute and sing on key. he probably will sell a lot of records. but not great. not quite. not ever.

i like how ppl are comparing him to archie. i can see the resemblence. but lets not forget who made this song a talent show staple- clay aiken. i think that joe does phenomenal but aiken did better but it doesnt matter. both are amazing renditions of it

overrated as are all the contestants in this year´s XF.

@DonMI I like Elton, but .. oh wait he did do it best . I don’t think X-Factor contestants are as vocally capable as most AI contestants. Simon’s being so lenient towards them seeing as this is his show

I think David Archuleta’s version is better but he is very cute!

I don’t get it, his voice is irritatiiiiing. especially when he holds those long notes and his voice vibrates, EEK.
