damm he sings like he' telling a story and with such conviction!! each word he sang man .. i believed it ..organic and soulful.. i like this guy.. i'm rooting for you mr. peyton.. and i agree with simon you can tell he's lived a life
This is one of the best auditions i have seen in years of watching talent show. What a song, what a singer, beautiful tone and the feeling conveyed - that is indeed how to make a impression.
Who’s here on lockdown 2020? I remember watching this when it aired. I got chills then and still get chills when watching it now. This guy is incredible and needs to be releasing his music!!!! Best thing to come out of Xfactor ever!!!!💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Before we cannot make comments here any longer. I just wanna say: I don't know what to say. lol! The best audition I've seen. I hope he goes far in this competition.
this hopeful, Mr Christopher has the best voice quality at the male category i've heard and seen in all the years of my following X Factor, wow!! I pray that Mr Simon Cowell consider the song he just auditioned with for recording and marketing, it will sure hit the top on the airwaves!!
For those of you who have asked the question as to the background of this song ; it is the musical adaptation of the poem, 'I'll Rise' by Maya Angelou originally recorded by Ben Harper off of his 1994 album, "Cruel World." While Mr, Harpers idea to put this iconic poem to music was nothing short of genius and he does a fine job with it; it is nothing even close to what we just heard Mr Peyton deliver. Harpers version lacks the raw emotion and gritty soulfulness that comes through so powerfully in Mr. Peyton's rendition. Just my opinion. It's a shame Mrs Angelou passed away a few years ago and never got to hear this version.
You may write me down in history With your bitter twisted lies You may trod me down in the very dirt And still like the dust I'll rise Does my happiness upset you Why are you best with gloom Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well Pumpin' in my living room So you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Now did you want to see me broken Bowed head and lowered eyes Shoulders fallen down like tear drops Weakened by my soulful cries Does my confidence upset you Don't you take it awful hard Cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine Breakin up in my front yard So you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise So you may write me down in history With your bitter twisted lies You may trod me down in the very dirt And still like the dust I'll rise Does my happiness upset you Why are you best with gloom Cause I laugh like I've got a goldmine Diggin' up in my living room Now you may shoot me with your words You may cut me with your eyes And I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise Out of the shacks of history's shame Up from a past rooted in pain I'll rise I'll rise I'll rise
Wow, impressive! I think he chose that particular song because the lyrics resonated with him. That’s the simplest and easiest way to put passion and tenderness into the song one is singing and it gives that song a bigger impact.
One of the rawest and purest auditions I have ever heard. Every word touched my soul, tears floating down like the Niagara falls.
I cant be the only one who got chills! His voice is so unique 💕
Chills every time I watch he's too good for this show
I haven't had chills like that in a while. Loved how he approached the song.
He is very good not only is his sound different,Chills even my grand daughter loved it :) Thanks a mill Anthony :)
He’s mint. I love him and my lass hates him...... fuck her
He’s fantastic! It’s like he’s singing on stage not just an audition. The best
I love it. Never heard such a voice.

Christopher is the one I went on TH-cam after the show to rewatch. Such an emotive yet natural performance. Can't wait to see what he does next.
This is one of the best auditions i have seen in years of watching talent show. What a song, what a singer, beautiful tone and the feeling conveyed - that is indeed how to make a impression.
I think this a is a great example of what a great song choice it is.
Pleas what the song name
+ahmed dahab Not sure, he just says it call "I'll rise" ? It might be his own song since he's a songwriter.

Christopher for the win! Imagine if he sings at a chapel with high ceiling accompanied by the organ playing in the background.

Rarely such a good voice heard...great man!!!
He really justified the song as judges prooved.He has a attitude of a real rtist to me.
I've seen this on TV back in 2016 ! And now I came back looking for it..
I can't believe Christopher was cut at Judges houses.. sheesh.. what a gifted singer.
I wish he could sing this song forever, this can't be possible. I will replay it forever.
He's definitely one to watch.
Such a great audition.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me down in the very dirt
And still like the dust I'll rise
Does my happiness upset you
Why are you best with gloom
Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well
Pumpin' in my living room
So you may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
And I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Out of the shacks of history's shame
Up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Now did you want to see me broken
Bowed head and lowered eyes
Shoulders fallen down like tear drops
Weakened by my soulful cries
Does my confidence upset you
Don't you take it awful hard
Cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine
Breakin up in my front yard
So you may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
And I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Out of the shacks of history's shame
Up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
So you may write me down in history
With your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me down in the very dirt
And still like the dust I'll rise
Does my happiness upset you
Why are you best with gloom
Cause I laugh like I've got a goldmine
Diggin' up in my living room
Now you may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
And I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Out of the shacks of history's shame
Up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
I hope that one day i'll buy your CDs xoxo... you are the best!!!
