He looked cool and at ease on stage and brought a new tempo to the song and delivered it with great emotion.<\/p>\n<p>We Loved it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is what the judges had to say<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simon Cowell<\/strong>: Matt it was absolutely incredible. You know that\u2019s why i love this, I like people who take risks. It\u2019s so easy Louis to do straight cover versions of songs but to take a song like that and turn it into your version\u2026.it sounded like a hit record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dannii Minogue<\/strong>: We can sit here and say you look like a popstar, you sing like a popstar, you act like one but these guys know who a popstar is. After you\u2019ve sung that version, that\u2019s the only version I have in my head. I can\u2019t wait to buy it on iTunes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Louis Walsh<\/strong>: Wow everybody loves it here. When I first saw you at the audition I never imagined you doing a Britney song but you did a pop classic and made it your own. I think that version could be a number one record again. I love that you\u2019re not predictable and you take a chance. Matt you are unique in every way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheryl Cole<\/strong>: The best way to find out how you did, is listen to the audience. You took such an iconic sing, we 100% associated with Britney but somehow I felt like I was sitting in an unplugged session where I was watching an artist sing an acoustic set. It was really fantastic.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* middle blog 2 468x60, created 9\/10\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"1963694971\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"580\" height=\"390\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/K4mfUyjfuA0&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;version=3\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* blogsmalllink 468x15, created 6\/7\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"6221751502\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 15;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matt Cardle breed new live into a Britney Spears classic song \u2018Hit Me baby One More Time\u201d on the X Factor on Saturday \n<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/2068\/the-x-factor-2010-matt-cardle-pulled-off-a-britney-spears-classic\/\"> [...]<\/a>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-x-factor"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2068"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2071,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2068\/revisions\/2071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
