Michael Collings - Final - Britain's Got Talent 2011

[@Psalmist570]

He sings as if he's telling the story, it compels you to listen and hope the song does not stop

[@EMP351073]

I am sooo glad he sang this for the finals!

[@Canyster]

I love the quality of his tone and personality in his voice, great stuff.

[@EJulieWilliams]

I have no idea who won this contest, because I don't live in the UK and I don't spend my life on the Internet, but I REALLY like this man.

[@NollerReal]

+Elaine Julie Williams he got 5th

[@headforopenwaters]

+LtChuckles he should have won or at least top 3

[@GreyDuck54]

it's 2013... and I'm still calling in to vote for him...

[@nathandaniel5451]

It is rumored that he is still wearing that shirt.

[@apetivist]

2024 and still calling in to vote for Michael Collins. Amazing performance and incredible talent!

[@beccibot]

I watched him sing this yesterday, and then had a pint with him and my friend. He's a pretty awesome guy.

[@braydenhaws4344]

2019 and I'm calling in my vote for him

[@robertmanley3472]

Awesome voice....and a real shame he hasn't gone mainstream.

[@MrMRW14]

They hardly ever do. They record their songs and the experts sap all of the soul out of them

[@fanfromwayback2]

This one is better than the first time you sang it on BGT. I hope all is going well for you. God bless your little family.

[@neoisntthe1]

seen him at a tiny little pub in dartmouth he was amazing best gig i been to !!!

[@grndmaw]

Glad I watch youtube - I would not of known about this guy - he's great

[@Arminhal16]

come the bloody hell on...he has like the best voice I've ever heard on any talent show :'(

[@RooXaaS1]

god i love his voice and this cover! i wish you the best of luck for your future and your whole family! god bless you!

[@vincentv17]

WHY THE BLOODY HELL can't we have great artist in america's got talent like him?!??!?!?!11?

[@Nuroj]

What a voice! :) I have heard two different songs of him now, - two versions of Fast Car. He's got an unique tone in his voice.

[@84anton]

Saw you´d been browsing through almost the same stuff as me..haha..I usually take a look around on youtube and often I find myself back here somehow =) take care//Anton

[@Schmidteren]

all the background music destroys this. :( Him and his guitar. All we need!

[@Danielblixareed]

Schmidteren indeed the strings and percussion are unnecessary just the singing and guitar is fine. Btw I am Razy Gogonea’s no1 fan he was my winner!

[@TechnicsSL1210MKII]

That is correct. He doesn't need this awful Background Music. He is the voice!

[@hendaalmeida9379]

Perfect Audition... I luv this song

[@nextlifearotti]

I thought this was better than the first one... l thought he rushed it the first time but this is way better. Anyone know what's become of him?

@nellAynoT I don't always have time to add the full info straight away. For each clip: Prepare blank dvd, record clip, finalize dvd, copy to hard drive, change name, import to editor, split A/V, re-sync audio, apply static path, apply deinterlacing, locate & cut video at first frame, cut audio 1 sec later, align to intro, apply transition, add copyright image with fades, locate & cut last frame, add fades, add outro, set range, render to MPEG4, upload, add info, set options.

[@chwossant9425]

I don't see how the hell he didn't win. He has an amazing voice, And I really think he can get somewhere with or without winning BGT.

[@rightmid20]

this guy is class. best wishes to him and his family.

[@clublatino68]

I agreed with you. It should be just dark and still light on this awesome soul!

[@MrLenardic]

I watched Michael's first audition for the first time a few minutes ago and thought "shame that's so short, I'd love to hear him perform Fast car a bit longer"... Now I found his final performance... The guy made my day =)

[@beeto11]

Man the arrangement for this guy was a lot better than the original (Chapman's ) Whoever wrote the arrangement for this song on this competition did a fantastic job.

[@deyonce10]

I love both Versions of this song.

[@fuckyousongs1649]

your fantastic your wee boy is so cute and congratulations love your voice !

[@andreygumarov835]

Amazing!!! He deserves more than 5 th place!)Very distinctive voice at his youth....

[@yaminovitchable]

the 54 people who dislike it are just music listeners not music "feelers"

[@kaddyk7570]

Im deep in love.♡ Great Voice.♡

[@Korespix]

my kid's was born on february 18th!!! only a year later, and im overweight! and i play guitar!!!!

[@MetalUnitesPeopleOfficial]

Sometimes they do this just to prove how much their voices have changed since the first performance :)

[@pandaKeepfit]

in fact, is chilled smoke, when the smoke goes out it goes through a chamber with ice or any cold source, that way it stays at ground level, an cheaper than dry ice. not to attack you, just to let you know it's not dry ice (i work with fog machines and stage lights)

[@Drphilipo]

Omg, to good! love him

[@310878hernan]

MUY BUENO EXELENTE.....

[@vampiresensei]

Fast Car is not meant for the spotlight. It's mean to be shared by people who can relate to it. With this idea, he did a great job.

[@PeterLakeTV]

Oooh shoot, didn't even catch that! That's awesome! :)

[@imjamesytl]

Song name : Fast Car from Tracy Chapman

[@luisasantander6826]

Fast car- tracy chapman 😍😍😍

[@maggiedales]

wow, love it, well done Michael

[@groxie]

Love his voice, as for this song I preferred his original acoustical- version was pure talent. I just thought the background instrumentals just took away from his talent... Love the change in attire for sure :) Good luck in your future!

[@BarknBeak]

This guy is amazing!

[@kimbagirl68]

Huge compliments from Simon!!!

[@NoWayz0o]

yeah.. and someday, there will probably be.. OVER 9000!!!

Why are people thumbing up this comment? He didn't change the lyrics...

[@MrSmithy280]

Been working at the computer store...love it! not gunna lie computerbase are expensive for parts tbh XD

[@hightimesbruce]

Even though he didn't win, the runner-ups of these shows are always offered record deals and endorsements despite losing. I'm sure his family is doing quite well for themselves now.

[@imfanuvsport]

they produced some of the greatest bands all of the world, and you are saying no one has talent?

[@klaudiaandtilen]

his son is born on the same day as me 118th of feb

[@shredhead21]

25 very impressionable people

[@davev3559]

they shut off the comments on his blind audition because the judges were idiots and making fun of him.

humble, low profile. perfect human

[@erusennin2]

realy smart guy, sing the same song of the first audition. I Like that.

[@shell0283]

amazing :) xx

[@lolipop5302]

superb well done

[@fionnkenny4788]

Where is he in 2017

[@refundrick]

Unfortunately things have not gone well for him - he released an EP but it did not sell well. He didn't get a recording contract of any kind - if you Google him you will see a number of articles in which he states he regrets his BGT appearances.

[@---nv4fz]

@@refundrick why does he regret?

[@Smugglebugg]

did he release an album yet? cuz i would avtually buy one

[@C4xR3AL]

Did he win?

That's a tough strong, sounds simple... but I tried singing... OMG... i could not hear myself lol... guy is terrific and the original is awesome too.

[@MLHERRERIA]

what is the name of the song?? Please

[@ClaytonLloyd]

Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

[@CamdenESloan]

Da rude-sandstorm

[@sloppsthekid]

Youuuuu^

[@djscottehify]

Actually its up to the producers what songs they have, i would know :P

[@SanguisAngel1]

I think i actually like this version better then the original

[@keaphoto1]

It's called " Fast Car " by Tracy Chapman

[@renegade9886]

But usually the people who come in second or third becomes more famous than the ones who actually won and I personally hope that I see him more

[@JedaqiaAngel]

I just hope somebody gave him a record deal already. He got a unique soulful voice but I don't think he should've done 'Fast Car' again. I do think BGT bosses ask him to do that.

[@agsiar]

someone did this in a previous video 1:30 click that and you'll skip most of the crap and go straight to this guy doing his (very good) gig.

[@mattsmurfy]

This kid should definitely have won

[@kevinlawrence17]

The first time I've heard him sing it ( and i don't know the title of the song) I thought it is " YOU GOT A FAT ASS CAR". I even search it in YT. =D I love it by the way

[@asmoohican]

The producers of BGT don't get it. This kind of performer, with adept acoustic skills and a soulful, amazing voice, is not enhanced by a lazer light show and dry ice. This kind of performer is the kind that captures your heart in a small space, in a club you've never been to before, or a coffee shop that sometimes hosts acoustic acts. You go, expecting nothing, and you leave a changed person. Michael has talent, yes indeed, but get rid of the dry ice, and let me listen to him in person.

[@mrpuddlemrpuddle]

I know right. I have seen quite a few doing it tho.

[@marcodel1995]

what's the name of the song he's singing? amazing voice anyway!

i agree 100percent

[@hightimesbruce]

So, the whole competition was based on his two performances of the exact same song? Kinda disappointing.

[@quipalco]

+hightimesbruce no in the semis he did a different song, but it wasnt as good
