OMG, this is so much better than X Factor. No stupid screaming audiences, no dramatic music. Just normal talent searching. Reality competition shows SUCK now.
YES AND HES STILL WITH US ALMOST 12 YEARS KEEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WILL WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU WHO ARE YOUR FANS AND THANKYOU AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW ALBU,M HOPEITS AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST 1 XX
Williams my uncle and he told me that the production guys told him to do cheesey dancing😂 and he didn’t want to but they instead lol. He’s my absolute idol❤️
How great to see this version. I noticed that didn't include the comment from Simon that he was a "good looking boy" on this uncut version. Amazing..even with this track he made it his own.
my how will has come since those days ilove this voice hes got and his personality good on yer will 4 getting where u r 2 say and wishing you all the luck in the world when you start in caberet recognition at last and not befor time always loved your voice mythras90 x
Check out his 6th album 85%Proof which went straight to number 1 in the UK album charts in May! He's still going strong 13 years after winning Pop Idol.
You are clearly lying that you knew this guy or if you did you didn't know him well, Pete Waterman and Simon Cowell both knew Will Young before this audition and was on the radar for many music labels long before he auditioned for Pop Idol, he had already been signed to be part of a boy band but it didn't go through, but was encouraged by the record label to continue pursuing a single career.
Only seeing this now brilliant vocal audition seriously great voice and the talentless judges saying it was just good. Nicky Chapman was particularly ungracious as was Cowell 😮
I'm from near Hungerford, and it's a modest, pleasant sort of place. Will Young fits the same description, and that's meant nicely. His success may have given Hungerford some renown outside of the massacre. Good on him. Well done.
I do wish they have also shown Will Young's initial audition in front of the staff and producers of POP.IDOL, the audition of WILL YOUNG in this video is his audition in front of the celebrity judges of POP IDOL
I like how they "think" they know what they're talking about and can just dangle people by a thread then cut it when THEY've made a mint. What a cruel world.
Your so right ! Look at this interview I can’t beileve ppl are still watching this format the whole panel together couldn’t sing a note between them I still love Will just saw him at Cardiff last week but music would be better if it just went back to the process of times past
Simon wasn't earning from this show. It was Simon Fuller's idea so Cowell started a new show and changed the name to xFactor. I think he took it to the states first. I think there was a law suit between the two Simons about it. Someone else on here will probably know more.
still laugh at wills dance on here BUT blimy take alook at him now som glad he wonpop idle 11 years and still going strong good on yer will keep up your good workand hope your run of caberet again goes well for you x
Maybe it's easier with hindsight but those judges were a bit slow off the mark eh? What's all that nonsense about cheese? Will didn't learn much from them other than how to sell himself. The thing he was selling was pure gold and the same today as it ever was. The most intelligent man in the room.
Yes the beginnings of his money making machine, only more so through the x factor show. Thank goodness Will Young stuck with the other Simon...Simon Fuller.
@@QueenAmethyst55 I know, you think she'd have a strong stomach from all that poo prodding, yet it didn't stop her persistently fainting in the jungle on I'm a Celeb!
After they'd all made a comment Simon asked them all to decide whether to put him through or not...which is when Pete made the comments about Will's clothes. Simon had the final say and put him through. So you're correct the end of it was cut off.
Simon Cowell thought he was alright! hmm looks like you were too busy (as usual) pumping up your own ego there, Simon, to see real talent in front of you!
Ahh yeah, Will went on to be a big star. Doc Fox? Well, we all know what's happened to him. The lady is presenting Escape to the Country or some such piffle. Pete is watching trains - and Simon is still raking it in. 'The leg action didn't work for me'. Opinion noted. Thank you.
One of our finest vocalists
You can see Will thinking at the end 'I think I better leave right now'.
I see what you did there! :)
Excellent Will! It’s so freakin hard to audition. Nerves , no music and people JUDGING you! Well done! Brilliant!
Can't believe they said he was just alright lol.He was amazing,one of the best voices ever still to this day.
Will Young does not have one of the best voices ever. He’s decent, but you’re delusional.
@@SP-ie1vxare you serious? You should go and check your hearings man.
@@JT_experience96 You should listen to more male singers.
He is amazing. Is Simon Cowell eating his words now?!
@@tashaimpressions I couldn’t even name 3 Will Young songs, you people are acting like he’s some megastar 😂
He is the original and the best. Outstanding!!
OMG, this is so much better than X Factor. No stupid screaming audiences, no dramatic music. Just normal talent searching. Reality competition shows SUCK now.
Don't forget no sob stories.....qué Amanda Holden "I can really tell your singing for your babies" oh boo fucking hoo.
100% agree. I loved the pop idol days. Hate x factor et al
@@slabbyrider8665 also 1 person on that panel whos really wualified to judge music and thats waterman ..no idea what the others are doing there
Will is the best .His vocals are amazing.👏
Will young is a good singer and he was brilliant and I thought he was terrific and he deserved to win the show
YES AND HES STILL WITH US ALMOST 12 YEARS KEEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WILL WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU WHO ARE YOUR FANS AND THANKYOU AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW ALBU,M HOPEITS AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST 1 XX
He’s so sweet! I wanna give him a big hug, especially with the adorably dorky dancing.
lookhow far wills come since this im so pleased for him and he was defineatly the winner iam pleased to say x
He's so lovely
Williams my uncle and he told me that the production guys told him to do cheesey dancing😂 and he didn’t want to but they instead lol. He’s my absolute idol❤️
His vocals were instantly outstanding
Literally a star
AFTER ELEVEN YEARS IN POP IDOL I STLL LOVE WILL'S VOICE SO TALENTED BOY AND SO CUTE TOO
Lovely talented Will
The whole of Britain wanted him to win but not Simon. Simon knew he wouldn't be able to control Will and he was right.
The dancing was lol
He's gay
Loving his dancing
He really couldn’t control his feet 🦶
POP idol was much better than X factor
What a voice
Will was so "Young" at that time. Love you W.Young!
I enjoyed watching pop idol!
Nice smile
Will Young was such a character ever since his first audition.
And yet he still won the show
How great to see this version. I noticed that didn't include the comment from Simon that he was a "good looking boy" on this uncut version. Amazing..even with this track he made it his own.
They are so understated in their comments! Hindsight....
Soooo cute
my how will has come since those days ilove this voice hes got and his personality good on yer will 4 getting where u r 2 say and wishing you all the luck in the world when you start in caberet recognition at last and not befor time always loved your voice mythras90 x
Love him!!!
I want to see much more Will. Where are you now, tell me, mmm?
Check out his 6th album 85%Proof which went straight to number 1 in the UK album charts in May! He's still going strong 13 years after winning Pop Idol.
Almost 15 years now Anna! He had a sell out tour last year and is doing outdoor festivals this Summer including Glastonbury.
Never heard of him
Hes on Top Gear
I used to know this guy, no hint he was going to be a pop star or that he knew any music at all!!!
deception fields proof?
You are clearly lying that you knew this guy or if you did you didn't know him well, Pete Waterman and Simon Cowell both knew Will Young before this audition and was on the radar for many music labels long before he auditioned for Pop Idol, he had already been signed to be part of a boy band but it didn't go through, but was encouraged by the record label to continue pursuing a single career.
Excellent, thanks
Where it all began.
That dancing though.
Do you think are better? 🤷🏼♂️
Only seeing this now brilliant vocal audition seriously great voice and the talentless judges saying it was just good. Nicky Chapman was particularly ungracious as was Cowell 😮
Everything was so much harsher then!!!
Glad I helped with that! :)
Well ,,, will you showed them sweetheart 👌☺️
Wow! To think that he is only just 22 years old here, no idea of the future ahead of him…did he realize what was to come after that?
@IscaGill Simon says "good looking boy" at 2:38. x
Thanks to Roz Sargent for sharing this link on facebook on the WIll Young page. xx
So within a year of this he sung the most popular UK Number 1 single of the 2000s decade (Evergreen).
Evergreen is the single he released as the winner
"Alright"?! Will has a fantastic voice!
tempo too fast. just nerves, pretty normal.
Bad song choice and the "dancing" was awful
Dancing was funny
I'm from near Hungerford, and it's a modest, pleasant sort of place. Will Young fits the same description, and that's meant nicely. His success may have given Hungerford some renown outside of the massacre. Good on him. Well done.
Private schoolboy.
@@joshuataylor3550: And...?
And this man can sing listen to piece leave right now
I love Will❤😷
Your comment has nothing to do with this video. Will was a well deserved winner and the proof is in his 11 year successful career.
aw, okay thanks for sharing :)
I will google him now.
he sounds cool
I do wish they have also shown Will Young's initial audition in front of the staff and producers of POP.IDOL, the audition of WILL YOUNG in this video is his audition in front of the celebrity judges of POP IDOL
He won.
He did!
Don't know why can't sing for shit, Gareth was so much better
"I just can't control my feet" felt like the perfect line to explain the bizarre movement of his legs
I like how they "think" they know what they're talking about and can just dangle people by a thread then cut it when THEY've made a mint. What a cruel world.
Your so right ! Look at this interview I can’t beileve ppl are still watching this format the whole panel together couldn’t sing a note between them
I still love Will just saw him at Cardiff last week but music would be better if it just went back to the process of times past
I can’t believe Simon was able to completely rip off this show and call it X factor
Simon wasn't earning from this show. It was Simon Fuller's idea so Cowell started a new show and changed the name to xFactor. I think he took it to the states first. I think there was a law suit between the two Simons about it. Someone else on here will probably know more.
iwonder how long the kids of today will last aslong as our will 13 years and hes stillwith us good on yer will whwer your new album xx
aw xoxox
So I looked up simon fuller and he seems like a very cool guy.
And ur right,much more low key.
Good for him :)
"One of those records that haunts me"
"For all the wrong reasons..."
Simon knew!
I liked the dancing.
well done :)
Who was the better singer in pop idol? Will or Gareth?
'The leg action just didn't do it for me' pmsl.
Nicky Chapman, saying she didn't like his moves, at all! What the hell..how rude was she.
wow is this where Simon got his start?
How has Pete fucking Waterman got the gall to make any comment on this song after creating the truly execrable 'Big Fun' version.
It was in the bag after that, "Indestructible"! ;-P
my parents used to play his album all the time when i was a kid
Your parents taste is fucking god awful
TomBoyLad GuyChapMan yeah i know i fucking hated it.
Katie Mitchell Lol, mine were on the gareth gates bandwagon
+Katie Mitchell No he has one of the most unique voices not to mention he is a great writer.
Kh9234 You're absolutely right. I agree with you. 😊😃
Will robert young start in 2002 of pop idol's.
he is so cute
Only 22, how is he now... going on 40
still laugh at wills dance on here BUT blimy take alook at him now som glad he wonpop idle 11 years and still going strong good on yer will keep up your good workand hope your run of caberet again goes well for you x
just give them a backing track holy shit, nearly everyone sounds shit without anything as background
I'll back you on that.
what does simon fuller do?
Simons face🤣🤣
Maybe it's easier with hindsight but those judges were a bit slow off the mark eh? What's all that nonsense about cheese? Will didn't learn much from them other than how to sell himself. The thing he was selling was pure gold and the same today as it ever was. The most intelligent man in the room.
Yes the beginnings of his money making machine, only more so through the x factor show.
Thank goodness Will Young stuck with the other Simon...Simon Fuller.
Dr Fox was 😍
Not a Dr... and oh wow really? haha
@@HighHoeKermit hehehe. I'm almost certain he was referred to as Dr 🦊. Could be wrong though 😂 just looked. Yes he was.
@@QueenAmethyst55 He was less of a doctor than Gillian Mckeith! 😂
@@HighHoeKermit Ooft! Gillian & her poo fetish lol
@@QueenAmethyst55 I know, you think she'd have a strong stomach from all that poo prodding, yet it didn't stop her persistently fainting in the jungle on I'm a Celeb!
If I was to be honest, if he did an audition like that these days I doubt he would have made it past the audition stage
lol... funny
Of course, because these days are just crap. Past is better as almost everything was just really more enjoyable in general life
This isn't uncut Pete Waterman said no to will in the first audition because he wore old jeans
After they'd all made a comment Simon asked them all to decide whether to put him through or not...which is when Pete made the comments about Will's clothes. Simon had the final say and put him through.
So you're correct the end of it was cut off.
Shelly Rose what a jerk ,with a Voice like that?
Simon Cowell's face during part of that audition!!!
those judges were full of jealousy at the end !!!! :)
2.03 simon thinking *bored now*
"Cheesy movements" - judges then go & watch the 'Losing Myself' video !!!!!
Simon always knows.
Check out the description above for link to more rare footage of Will Young at "Boot Camp".
They look bored... and this guy won.
2:37 - 2:45 eww cringe
my friend is this guys cousin
Wow...I'll sleep well knowing that mate.
I might know your friend what's his name? I have a friend who's friends with a guy who's wills cousin. could be the sane guy
+Gameplay Videos it really is! what are the odds
Fuck me can I get an autograph
You're welcome hun!
he wasnt doing any moves lol he was just moving HAHAHAHA
Honestly, for me, reasonable - decent
boot camp. simon cowell in the 80's please watch. i remember this show very well.
Who knew
That judge with the glasses looks like Frank Abagnale
Poor old Dr Fox
Nowadays he would be laughed out the audition room with that
No, there is worse on American Idol.
Simon Cowell thought he was alright! hmm looks like you were too busy (as usual) pumping up your own ego there, Simon, to see real talent in front of you!
Ahh yeah, Will went on to be a big star. Doc Fox? Well, we all know what's happened to him. The lady is presenting Escape to the Country or some such piffle. Pete is watching trains - and Simon is still raking it in. 'The leg action didn't work for me'. Opinion noted. Thank you.
Satellite athousand satellite The multiverse yes he is maylord be with you
Its strange that the last contestant wins
Jesus they were harsh in those days
And look at him now and where are they?
Back then that was Simon being nice not the pussy he is today.
i totlally agre with you aligary about our willand simon fuller saw in will wot cowel never wanted to see x
ccos he wanted gareth gates to win x
