I'm very proud of him. He stepped down and got help and came back stronger more faith n luv in himself. All the way from U.S Anthony We luv u and we are very proud of you!!!!
shanice dsouza I agree with you I’m so happy that he’s sober and a new man like he said brand new out of the toaster 😝 he has a purpose in life and to me he has that , that most singers lack of this days soul and emotion
He's so pure. I love this! And the way he said "I'm actually gonna make something of meself" at the end really touched me but also kind of broke my heart? He's really special.
oh lawd! i didn't expect that, he's just raw, real. i really love how he puts that soul in there, those runs were good. i can see him growing into something amazing! it's all about song selection though.
The Liverpool accent is nothing like the Scottish accent. His performance of this song was absolutely brilliant. If I could download it from ITunes I would. He has a great voice.
Absolutely LOVE Sharon's response to this audition - you can see the depth of feeling she has in this instance, probably because of her own life history but the way she connects with the audition to me is just above and I love it - and this man can absolutely SING with feeling, so good...
Imagine being told you don't have the best voice, by somebody you look up to. After you just sang your absolute heart out. I think his voice for this song is fantastic. %90 of men would surely love a voice like that. I'd be stoked with those notes and that colour. The girl that sang before him that got through, I thought surely wasn't going to. So probably I don't know what I'm talking about
He went to X-factor when he was a little kid and Simon told him he needed singing lessons and he replied that he was sorry. Seeing him now is so heartwarming 😄 Edit: Wow in Owen Wilson voice, 200 likes. Thank you everyone.
"you dont have the best voice" His was was hella unique. Obviously control issues and lack of range, but that can always be worked on, just like any singer. Sometimes i wonder what comes out of Nicole's mouth, saying that to someone definitely doesn't give someone confidence going into the next rounds. Sorry to bring negativity to the comment section guys, but that was just a plain stupid comment on her behalf.
@@zoebrown4291 well can you sing? nah i don't think so so shut up she's the judge, not you. His vocals are amazing but that's her opinion don't hate on someone because they think something different then you
He was so happy. Sometimes it's not about talent, sometimes it's about someone's zeal and personality. I was sad when he got out of the audition and there was no one to celebrate with him and hug him apart from the X-factor's personnel. But after this, he will have hundreds of friends to choose from, I'm sure.
Still listening to this in 2024. The most genuine man to have ever been on The X Factor. I would buy his album tomorrow. I love his voice 😍 I hope those scumbags tha jumped him get their comeuppance one day 🙏 Real men fight one on one not in a pack. The absolute cowards 😤
I keep coming everyday to this audition and replay it idk why but it just all fits together, his voice that movement, song choice and his heart.. So special
A lovely emotional voice. Sweet personality on the young man. You can really feel what he is putting across and that was just beautiful. I didn't understand the one judge commenting on white soul. Soul don't have color. :I
There are really people who don't just sing but really move your heart out and make u feel the lyrics. That's a kind of ability that not all singers have. You made my eyes cry. Got my eye on you ! keep up!
"See you's late-a" as if he's meeting them for dinner. Lol. So cute. The very end is pure gold. When he says "I'm actually going to make something of myself" he's a precious soul.
This guy needs more attention from him being a child trying and he really did sound good but he didn’t let nobody stop him from doing what he truly loved. This is an inspiration
Anthony was my favorite. I am sorry to hear he had to leave the show. I hope he recovers from his drug and personal issues and auditions next year. Don't give up Anthony - you have a lot of talent to show the world. Now you realize how good you are and hopefully the positive feedback will help you recover.
'You don't have the best voice...' - they all acted so reluctant, I thought he was really really great, I would have given him a yes without a second thought.
Awe Anthony has won me over. Looking at his performance of wake me up, and listening to both covers. He really is something special. I wish for better things to come and that he can overcome addiction. Thank you Louis Tomlinson for giving him that help.
Who else came over to check out this vid after seeing him back on x factor 2018? He is good
delaney shaw i watched this so many times
I did hahaha
After watch that video over and over again I come to this video and do it over and over too 😂
GUILTY!
I'm very proud of him. He stepped down and got help and came back stronger more faith n luv in himself. All the way from U.S Anthony We luv u and we are very proud of you!!!!
I'm so happy Louis Tomlinson reached out to him n changed his life.... he deserves so much better
shanice dsouza I agree with you I’m so happy that he’s sober and a new man like he said brand new out of the toaster 😝 he has a purpose in life and to me he has that , that most singers lack of this days soul and emotion
shanice dsouza he’s soo sweet he deserves this chance
Yessss
shanice dsouza I agree I think Louis Tomlinson did a great job with him! And he hope he wins the X Factor UK 2018
Jennifer Mullis I hope too! I’m very happy to see him there!
The writer of the song should be grateful to him because he interpreted the song so clearly.. I felt every letter if it!!
Johny Zote julia michaels, the singer of this song, wrote it as well, amazing songwriter, look her up
Stefan Jovanovic yepz thanks alot
me too 😢
Only authentic version I've ever heard
What the hell just happen? With the way he was singing my life just flashed before my eyes. That was so intense!
so true 😄
Jess Montes great comment.
LOL i had the exact same, i guess it would be fair to say i can relate
Jess Montes it was so emotional to watch😭
Damn, felt every word he said. One of the strongest contenders!
Junno Mars Me too 😒
I have to agree, he was really good
you could tell he really needed to be great in his audition. it was more like a make it or break it moment with all thats happened to him in his life
Junno Mars Simon don't like him last time when he was little boy X factor 4 just Sharon ,Louie did like his voice
i got goosebumps watching this
Felt every word he sang. Man this got me emotional
Me even now my tears are just falling again.
He's so pure. I love this! And the way he said "I'm actually gonna make something of meself" at the end really touched me but also kind of broke my heart? He's really special.
He Got Issues...and we felt it...simple yet so true and genuine...
"I'm not a badie I just like singin." I LOVE that!
He said I’m not about it not a badie
He is the one i could listen all day 👌👌
Saran Gurung hey...mw too.😂🤣👍
benito
He is special!
oh lawd! i didn't expect that, he's just raw, real. i really love how he puts that soul in there, those runs were good. i can see him growing into something amazing! it's all about song selection though.
The Liverpool accent is nothing like the Scottish accent. His performance of this song was absolutely brilliant. If I could download it from ITunes I would. He has a great voice.
He has a lovely unique voice and a very nice accent.. Hope he will make it to the TOP.. 🥇 🥈 🥉
He's in the final now
And he has killer friends and on drugs
My favorite till now.
He HAS very unique voice. Wow!
Anthony was a friend of my daughters fella and came to mine and give us a song. Lovely lad and great voice. X
totally
this guy must and will go places...he is genuine and real and defines the word HONEST... I LOVE HIM
O M G !!! This is the same dude!! he was a little kid auditioning back in X FACTOR season 4!!! he was good back then, and now 100 times even better!
He was so sweet!
I love his personality! When he said at the end I'm gonna make something of mi self' my heart melted.
He has a really great voice.
I have watched this over and over and it still brings me to tears! Anthony you are the real thing!!!
There's always one contestant that will make me tune in for the show. For me, he's that contestant!
I felt his words in my heart. His voice is original, and amazing in its own way. He can't hit high notes too much, but he still makes it sound good.
Absolutely LOVE Sharon's response to this audition - you can see the depth of feeling she has in this instance, probably because of her own life history but the way she connects with the audition to me is just above and I love it - and this man can absolutely SING with feeling, so good...
She definitely sees a bit of ozzy
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this voice and this humble young man. So incredible intense - and with a wonderful accent. LOVEEEEEEE from Denmark!!!!
I love his voice

Even a year later this still brings me to ears. Each and every word HE SANG touches every ones lives along the way 💕 good luck this year lad xxx
He went to X-factor when he was a little kid and Simon told him he needed singing lessons and he replied that he was sorry. Seeing him now is so heartwarming 😄
Edit: Wow in Owen Wilson voice, 200 likes. Thank you everyone.

Is Az look up anthony straight talking tight-o
nah he didn’t he went niceone si
Yeah I just saw that on Instagram and came here to look for the proper video, didn't realise he'd gone back on as an adult
Yea I saw that

Stefan I was thinking the same he sings a hell of a lot better than her
Agreed💯 she cant even sing that well pfffff
I agree with you about Anthony, I really like his voice, but Nicole can definitely sing, haven't you heard her duet with Sam Bailey?
@@zoebrown4291 well can you sing? nah i don't think so so shut up she's the judge, not you. His vocals are amazing but that's her opinion don't hate on someone because they think something different then you
@@zoebrown4291 are you sure cause she's got amazing vocals
One of my favorite contestants so far! Honestly i feel every word he sings! Soulful!!!😭😭😭
He was so happy. Sometimes it's not about talent, sometimes it's about someone's zeal and personality. I was sad when he got out of the audition and there was no one to celebrate with him and hug him apart from the X-factor's personnel.

Love love his voice ❤️❤️
He gave me the goosebumps. Full of emotions when he was singing. I wish he goes far!
Still watching these classic auditions. Love him. Proper lovely guy ❤
From Ireland 🇮🇪. Love this played it 500 ⌚ times wish him the best
literally telling the judges... "u don't judge me"
Still listening to this in 2024. The most genuine man to have ever been on The X Factor. I would buy his album tomorrow. I love his voice 😍 I hope those scumbags tha jumped him get their comeuppance one day 🙏 Real men fight one on one not in a pack. The absolute cowards 😤
What a brilliant man, you will go far son!

'bless your little bum' lmao

One of the best singers on the X factor. Full of soul!! Nicole talks out her back side!

I like his voice daaaamn🤓
He is cute, I loved his audition!

Ben
This was heartbreaking. I really like him.

He has a very iconic voice. I hope he does well in the show and out of the show. He is great
such a nice guy.. God bless him.
He has to win. We need artist like him, artiest with a pure heart and true stories.
A lovely emotional voice. Sweet personality on the young man. You can really feel what he is putting across and that was just beautiful. I didn't understand the one judge commenting on white soul. Soul don't have color. :I
omgg!! i'm buying his version of issues!!! love u anthony! so happy to watch him being soo successful! #yougoboy
There are really people who don't just sing but really move your heart out and make u feel the lyrics. That's a kind of ability that not all singers have. You made my eyes cry. Got my eye on you ! keep up!
Such a distinctive voice sound...
I mean, it was something apart!
This is the type of voice that can stand out among good voices.
"See you's late-a" as if he's meeting them for dinner. Lol. So cute. The very end is pure gold. When he says "I'm actually going to make something of myself" he's a precious soul.
sometime soul is more important than voice in singing and that's obvious here
Only a couple of seconds in and every time he makes me cry... this voice goes straight to the heart, doesn't it?
I wasnt expecting that. Wow
i luv anthony russell since the second he opened his mouth singing this on x factor ive listened to it about 5000 times his voice makes the song
delivered with the purest intent and 100 percent heart ...he has a great rhythmic diction this guy is northern soul
wow i keep playing this over and over
Please ! This guy deserves to go viral... all he needs is a lil' luv, appreciation and confidence in his flippin Aaawesome ability.
Love this bloke. Glad he came back to try again this year. Hope he goes far.
This guy needs more attention from him being a child trying and he really did sound good but he didn’t let nobody stop him from doing what he truly loved. This is an inspiration
Omg! I love his voice. Very unique!
How can you not love this lad. He's proper raw UK talent. God bless ya Anthony Russell.
I always come back here from time to time. Coz I love this performance very much. And each time, I left teary eyed.
Was so surprised with this. Fantastic voice!! My fav so far!
Just rolls in with a black eye and smashed it!
need this guy in my life
I touch him soul. he so talent. from Thailand
He is definitely one of the best. Have anyone here noticed how his shirt was dried then some water drops then dried again?
Yeah, think the clips they used for his pre-interview were just shuffled around a bit, and he apparently got a little wet in the middle of it.
Anthony was my favorite. I am sorry to hear he had to leave the show. I hope he recovers from his drug and personal issues and auditions next year. Don't give up Anthony - you have a lot of talent to show the world. Now you realize how good you are and hopefully the positive feedback will help you recover.
Keep uploading videos in 2018 for X factor and Britain got talent. They're really great. Thank you Anthony.
That's music for real IMO. Fuck every hyped shit nowadays, Anthony sings with passion and doing it real.
'You don't have the best voice...' - they all acted so reluctant, I thought he was really really great, I would have given him a yes without a second thought.
he deserve it..i can watch this all day...
There is a connection that I felt with his song choice and performance, genuine attitude and straight forward, like this lil bum,,,,,,
He seems like such a great guy. I was so happy when he got through it made me happy. Defenetly my favorite.
this is the best version of Issue I've ever heard, raw and rough and authentic, tears bursting!
Every word is his truth and I felt his soul in this song.
Omg he's so precious. I'm rooting for you in this year x factor with Louis Tomlinson's team, Anthony lad. Good luck good luck good luck!!
Awe Anthony has won me over. Looking at his performance of wake me up, and listening to both covers. He really is something special. I wish for better things to come and that he can overcome addiction. Thank you Louis Tomlinson for giving him that help.
This was just so beautiful , really touched me...
Aw, I want him to win this new season! Bless his soul
I totally agree with Simon.
I loved him from the beginning , his story and him made it for me, he's an inspiration!
Best voice ever still

F*CK man.. Thats by far the greatest Voice I've ever heard on a casting show. Unbelivable.
Absolutely loved him! Such a simple and kind guy! One of my favorites thus far
He's so good. Had tears in my eyes.
Да, действительно! Когда поет превращается в совсем другого человека, он поет эмоционально. Он как талантливый актер, играющую роль.
