Seemed to be passing this off as his original take on HMBOMT.Of course it's a version Fran Healy first sang 10 years ago.

how did he pass it off as his? here are his comments on it, where did he say It's my version????

Said he seemed to-judges certainly made it out to be wildly creative and original.Then again Travis play instruments so the judges would'nt know anything about them.

very true!!

He himself didn't actually say that though and as you pointed out he did play the guitar himself as well as sing so that, in itself is original on X-Factor!!

[johnx]

Playin your own instruments shouldnt be allowed on X-factor.Except Wagner on the bongos.

Yeah, I didn't get the guitar part or the borrowing of somebody elses version of the Britney song. Nothing remotely new or interesting in it. They did the same with Danyl last year when he basically sang the same way your man did on American Idol... what was the song again? Billie Jean or something like that? They're either too unimaginative or too scared to try anything truly new with the British public.

And everyone does Matt Bellamys "rocky" version of Feeling Good.

Why not? I thought it was his best performance so far tbh plus I don't see what difference it makes whether he did a Britany version or a Travis version. Though it makes complete sense that he would do the Travis version rather than the Britany version!

As Dermot O'leary reminded people the definitive version of this song is from Darius Danesh.Matts alrite-as long as he doesnt overdo the high stuff.

and yeah that is something that I think Dannii is playing on a bit too much. He's still my favourite by a mile though

[Yuna]

Lol it's been done before, I don't get why everyone's raving about how brilliant it was, Matt has an outstanding voice though.

[BB_Eye]

I like Matt, but his taste in music is putting me off.

I don't think he picks the songs himself though apparently he was not pleased about the Britany one and thought it was cheesy.

you mean Dannii's music taste? Matt doesnt get to choose his songs you know

this made me laugh, yeah travis must seem like some avant garde heavy rock band to people like louis who only listens to take that and Celene Dion. real instruments OMG, so anarchic it must seem like punk happened all over again. btw that fran healy is another little hottie who could sit on my face
