[@mukitamanandhar6036]

she is so under rated..... she deserves bigger platform

[@MariaGiulia]

I agree!!!

[@tazdaniels4869]

Easily one of the best X Factor contestants in years.

[@mcelliotdawson7700]

Mukita Manandhar ... it will come .. she is that good.

[@Dana880313]

She does. But it not how it works. She has to work her way towards that platform. And I think she is doing good. I hope she will get there.

[@mikewarden1795]

In an interview on Canadian TV the interviewer said to Ella "you have the kind of voice that comes around in the music industry once every ten years.I have to agree I have never during my long time following music heard a voice like that of Ella Henderson. ❤️ ❤️❤️

[@mattgreen5720]

You're kidding aren't you? She's a facsimile of every other young female singer out there who's trying to be soulful. There's no originality any more.

[@serbanescusimona]

Love this song and this performance! It's a metaphor of what life is, a flowing river that can't be held back. The same feeling that I have on my 28th birthday, when most of my old friends and colleagues that have taken different paths.

[@TheLosDacos]

damn you still look young

[@ruolaro]

She 's really great singer, the harmony with the band ..... wow .

[@angelathomas9548]

She is the U.K.'s version of Kelly Clarkson. That voice, stage presence, song interpretation.... I hope she has the opportunity to break free and create the collection Kelly has. She needs no over-production or catchy riffs. I seriously hope she can create her own path and it be embraced and exploited to the point it reaches us across the pond, because I would rather listen to her sing on a playlist than have to stumble across a KZbin video. As with many other artists, other than Ed and James (who I am forever grateful for.)

[@raindanceandliam]

Come on, bro. "No one"??? ..... now ur just being silly. Just sounds like ur basic XFctr or Idol voice. Go listen to London Grammar, or Daughter, or FATM, or Morcheeba, or Wet, or Portishead just to name a few who can take this girl's talent and touch it all over.

She's good but not in the same league as Pink or Adele, Celine Dione is overrated in my eyes

Ella Henderson is absolutely amazing. She proves that you don't have to win to be successful. Compare her to James Arthur now, and its clear who the real victor is.

[@caoimhe1]

+Nick Gibbs true, even look at one direction, they came third on the X Factor and they are the biggest band right now, yet I still haven't heard anything from the winner or even runner up...

[@aninhapainapadilha]

Nathan Perez James Arthur is better. MUCH BETTER.

[@tongochuyenthi1785]

What's wrong with James Arthur? I think he has a fairly successful career with Say You Won't Let go.

[@joeldeakin2003]

James Arthur

[@joelmiles3041]

Tô Ngọc Huyền Thi At the time of that comment Say You Won't Let Go wasn't around. It's a b-grade Ed Sheeran ripoff anyway.

[@jerrystern975]

I have been a listener of music for 64 years ,have gone to about 200 concerts from the animals to Santana all the way to all the great female singes and i think the only singer that comes close to her or even with her is Adel. this young girl is so talented. I wish she would come to the u.s. and do a string of concerts to show us how its done

it's not really what i call a cover.. sounds more like she's singing someone else's song.. When James Bay covers someone, he changes the way the song is played and sang, making it his completely
