Alright. I’m a 65 year old male. This Version of this Song brings me to tears every time I hear it. Matt sings this with so much feeling. It just hits the way I hear Music. Incredible!
can we just agree that this is one of the best vocals of one of the best songs EVER - musical genius WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
When he sang this I knew he would win no matter how popular one D were becoming. Don’t know where he is now but if you made an album of covers like this, I’d be the first to buy it . I think the talent that year was one of the best.
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.
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 th-cam.com/video/oPwXZOsmXis/w-d-xo.html
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 :)
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 ❤
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. . . . . . .
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

Matts's rendition is by far the best by any artist and he is truly in the land of awesome
This song still haunts me today. Matt should be a music legend by now with this talent.

Agree 100%, for me this is the best rendition of this song, and that is no mean feat
I AGREE WITH YOU ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
this song is from the movie Play Misty for Me...one of eastwood's first movies in the 70s. this cover is breathtaking
Is it possible that a simple song bring tears to your eyes..??
This version is special he has never performed it as dramatically or courageously vocally as he did for this performance.
No one sing this song better than matt cardle till now.. 2024 ❤
I think I’ve watched this a 1000 times, never gets old ❤
I agree with you Jerilyn , I love it so much .
Me too :)
Still stunning after all this time!
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 th-cam.com/video/oPwXZOsmXis/w-d-xo.html
Danni is the best judge on the x factor, she won with both Leon and Mattl she was also the best mentor.
That has to be one of the best ever songs sung on X factor
Best ever performance on the show. Nothing comes close.
Still one of the best performances of all time
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 :)
One of the best versions ever ..love his voice
I love this version ...the best male singer for this song ....
My Daddy used to sing this to me. Thank you
Still one of the greatest performances ever in Xfactor history.
Better than the original!. Love it!
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 😂😂😂😂
He’s voice is insanely beautiful
Jeez. 14 years, and it's still the best performance I've ever heard on one of these shows.
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

Matt is the best singer. He is in a completely different to any other male acts in the history of The X Factor.
Que maravilla!!!!! Dios tiene una bendecida por el Dios de la música. Esos susurros, esos agudos, esos falsete y ese tono altoooo.... bravisimo. MATT
What a beautiful version of this song I have lived since 1972 and Roberta Flack.

I come back every year or two and listen to this again. His voice is suited to this song like Bobby Hatfield's voice was made for Unchained Meoldy.
