He's been ill for two weeks. Not that it was mentioned like all the others wail on about

They went on about it repeatedly during the semi final though, they've been plowing the sympathy angle since his vocals were pretty subpar the last two weeks.

I heard it mentioned once. Either way, bar week one he was number one. No argument

For me, 'When Love Takes Over' & 'Yellow Brick Road' trumps the rest easily. 'You've Got The Love' would have been nice if it didn't sound like he was dying throughout it all. His other songs were pretty disappointing.

Yellow Brick Road was his best performance imo

Not really it's one of the biggest examples of his style of waiting around for the big moment to occur, it was very boring aside from the high notes. Same for most of his ballads really, they all merge into one for me.

Ahh ok. And I guess it comes down to personal taste. The song actually brought me to tears. I thought it was beautiful

for me Nights in white Satin was his best performance, I see what you mean by it sounds like he's dying but I actually love that sound, it's kind of haunting

Some of the posts on here are absolutely hilarious. He doesn't float my boat, but Matt was in a different league to the rest of them. Rebecca was almost there, but her vocals were very weak and shaky at times and her crippling self doubt make her performances awkward. Matt could have sung anything any of the other live show finalists sang ten times better at the height of his throat infection. He was visibly ill for the last two weeks - and particularly last week - and still shamed the rest of them and all of the guest performers. As I say, he doesn't float my boat, but I'm gobsmacked that anyone would try to argue with his superior natural talent. Entirely different league.
