X Factor Live Shows

2011 Live Shows 1: Craig Colton ‘Jar Of Hearts’ was number 1 for Gary Barlow

The Liverpool crooner has shed well over a stone in weight since judges houses, and he looked much better for it too. As well as his new diet,  mentor Gary Barlow takes him jogging every day.

Judging by his performance of Christina Perri’s ‘Jar Of Hearts’ on last night show, it would appear that this new fitness regime agrees with him.

He revealed before taking to the stage that he chose the song himself and worked out the whole vocal arrangement, it was a risk but in the end we think it all paid off. Gary Barlow called it, the number one performance of the night.

 JUDGES COMMENTS:

Tulisa Contostavlos:  Tonight you showed people that you’re not just the funny man. You’re an amazing vocalist. I think you need to remember that as well, don’t hide behind the comedy. Yes you are funny and we love that but your voice is ten times more amazing than the comedy. Props to you for picking the song, the arrangement, you did an amazing job, well done.

Kelly Rowland: You came here tonight and you just killed. You had the most emotional performance of all the performances and you connected so well to the song emotionally that I darn near cried and there’s this thing that we do in the states where we throw something at somebody when they’re killing it and I almost threw my pen at you because I was like “sing boy”. It was great!

Louis Walsh: You sing from the heart and I love the fact that you’ve lost so much weight and you’re taking the whole thing so seriously. You’re the real deal Craig, you have a great recording voice. there’s something special about you, I don’t know what it is, people are going to love you. And Gary Barlow, he’d better be here next Saturday.


Gary Barlow: Craig congratulations on the number one performance of the night for me. I thought it was totally amazing and I just want you to do well, well done.
