Pop Idol - The Final Part 4

[@terzofan55]

OMG I remember this in the early 2000s as a child, oh man this was my childhood :D

[@Shelsight]

They both gave it everything & gave their distinct personalities to it, and both sang it perfectly. Back then I wanted Gareth to win - but heard Will’s version and it just seemed more personal and less cookie-cutter - so I gave my small 1 vote to him instead. I think he was the one who had more chance of being a distinct pop star in his own right - which he did. Gareth did an amazing job but was always going to be more template as a pop star - but I’m so glad he made it in theatre in his own right. They were, and still are, the most amazing singers who represented the only Pop Idol series we all still remember. And now 20 years later I’m old and still can’t believe I’m commenting on this ;)

[@EedWatcharapornTubrutn]

Me more one voted 🗳️ for him too😆😁

[@bellacaressa1782]

I love both the singer and this old song 😘

[@GloriaOconnell]

The first time my 12 year old self learnt about devastation 🤦‍♀️ ... anyone and everyone I knew , knew how much I idolised Gareth Gates at that time . My Aunty was in the pub the night of the final and they were showing it on the pub tv when Gareth Gates lost she rang me and I was crying down the phone to her 😭 ... an embarrassing memory now Iam in my 30s lol

[@fireram2006]

it's the same feeling i had with Elliot Yamin losing on A.I. and i just turned 31.hohoho

[@paulapoulson576]

I was the same I was so annoyed when will won and he didn’t

[@andreadoolan416]

​@@paulapoulson576really, ah he didn't deserve to win and when you listen back to this now, he's off key all over the place but I get that girls had a crush on him that was bigger than his actual talent

[@MATTUK10]

Absolutely brilliant great song

[@lotsobear5374]

I just saw Gareth in theatre today and he's amazing

[@kiancurtis15]

I seen Gareth gates yesterday and he was at porthcawl show dome

[@kobilovechocolate]

Gareth you had taken this night, your legendary voice just came to everyone's soul. xxx

[@hitcher1777]

I had it equal, and gave the result to Will ~ thought he would cope better with the massive demands that this business makes on a person. But it was so close.

[@alessandroursus9882]

Wow💞💞💞💞💞what an angel voice from heven!!!!!!!💞💞💞😘😘💝💝💝👑👑👑👑👑

[@chaingangsoldier3100]

07:33 I LMAO at Ant screaming like he was one of Gareth or Will's fangirls (or boys in that case!)

[@BobSFox]

POP IDOL BECAME UK X--FACTOR STARTING SIMON COWELL'S RISE TO FAME........JUST A LITTLE HISTORY.....

[@cassandragarofallou5924]

No prob with him but Will was always the best in my eyes

[@Xpawah]

Will have better voice but Gareth was totally a fairer subject to be a pop idol in those times....

[@pacofrancis6126]

Pop idol is the original idol. And then it was franchised in the US as american idol!

[@jonathantiernan6816]

You Have 2 Hours To Vote For Your Very First Pop Idol Champion 2002

[@petitmeowmeow]

THIS MIGHT BE MY PARANOID ASS talking and it's been nearly 20 years but I maintain to this day that Will's version of Evergreen was way more hyped up than Gareth's. So the clips made Gareth seem duller and the general public less likely to vote for.

[@Shelsight]

How could it be more ‘hyped’ up? They sang live.. They both gave it everything & gave their distinct personalities to it, and both sang it perfectly. Back then I wanted Gareth to win - but heard Will’s version and it just seemed more personal and less cookie-cutter - so I gave my small 1 vote to him instead. I think he was the one who had more chance of being a distinct pop star in his own right - which he did. Gareth did an amazing job but was always going to be more template as a pop star - but I’m so glad he made it in theatre in his own right.

[@jonathantiernan6816]

Head Over To ITV2 For Pop Idol Extra With Kate Thornton

[@OtakuLogan2017]

This final was literally a coin toss, either of them couldve won.

[@kierno9468]

Gareth should have won hope he does well on the big reunion

[@kevinlongman007]

I disagree... Will had a much better voice.

[@suherlinrenny3781]

ant n dec..omg.

[@isaacmaliam8057]

Nothing compared to the original artists "Westlife."

[@kemzshivlogglebanon-ph456]

the best gareth for me..whats the title of that song?

[@chrisnorvelbinan3927]

evergreen

[@gundaojess2394]

I think his idol is westlife,

[@BenNognog]

gareth is soulful...the winner is powerful voice but for me it's gareth total package

[@MegaMarie]

Before X factor, so old.

[@petitmeowmeow]

Best of ant and dec

[@flashraider3961]

Le meilleur Gareth gates

[@moonqueen2k184]

Gareth should've won I tried to vote for him but couldn't get through but could get through for will so to me it was fixed

[@madmarvelmultitasker2655]

You wanted Gareth to win but voted for Will 🤔 how much of a plum are you?! 🤣🤣🤣

[@neilio84uk]

Why did you bother trying to vote for the person you didn’t want to vote for?

[@moonqueen2k184]

@@neilio84uk to see if there was an issue on both or not

[@DorothyShelley]

why was gareth all doled up in a white suit i beleive he thought he had it in the bag already but the country spoke for will i m glad to say and simon cowels face looked like thunder oh deary me how sad for him haha x

[@adetteronald1828]

gareth much better than will!...and his voice is so powerful

[@madmarvelmultitasker2655]

Being deaf doesn’t excuse you from making idiotic comments I see 🤔

[@RadicalRJ]

Ant and dec sound and look so weird.

[@jayl0151]

He was poor looking back..

[@aligary]

Gareth/......legendary voice????????? There were quite a few million souls who weren't touched by it I'll have you know and still aren't. His voice is average, grant you better than a total non singer but that's about it.

[@chrishoward3391]

Gareth really can't sing! 😂 Remember him being better than this

[@terribletwin]

Legendary voice??? what on earth was "Efergreen"? Sorry no way.

[@bottlewaddle6677]

terribletwin he had a severe speech impediment

[@paulapoulson576]

To pick on someone cos of a speech impediment is just so wrong I personally think his voice is amazing

[@earnestnath9684]

Gareth is better than will.

[@alexandriabeach9834]

I think they're both good!!

[@NSdhea]

They both good, but Gareth's has more unique voice, I think he's better than Will but everyone's are different so

[@sexisamfantom]

i love gareth i think he is better than will nd shuld ave won gareths verison of evergreen is better

[@dizzylizzysunflower]

Have to disagree, Will was and still is better. But each to their own
