He did justice to that beautiful song.

[@kenknight6629]

Ghaniza S Yes he did

[@syrchov]

Ghaniza S and he summons all part of the leagues like bruce and clark

[@caseybv74]

Ghaniza S Yea if this was American he would have added about bunch of crap sounds to make the song "his".

[@yellow5350]

caseybv74 oh god i prefer when people keep it to the original

[@caseybv74]

There's exceptions like any Bob Dylan cover, but when people say ohh and baby a bunch of times just kills a song.

[@orf.designs]

this guy seems so genuine. You can see he's extremely nevrous but is hiding it well. Beautiful voice! Beautiful song!

[@secondtimearound2539]

Agreed. Too genuine for Cowell to realise, as Cowell himself is the exact opposite. Anyways, as STEALTH he is making really good music.

It's such a shame we haven't heard more of him, he has such a beautiful timbre to his voice. Distinctive, strong and great power. Hope he is rediscovered soon.

[@coryderzon]

I will never understand the physics behind British people loosing their accents when they sing

[@Solastar]

I have asked myself the same question

[@salmaxioa]

Akh you have to ask us we lose our language when we sing in English 😁😁😁

[@weareuniqueforareason7503]

same here

[@Seph451]

Speech and song occur in different parts of the brain making accents more flexible.

[@chautran8153]

What an amazing voice. This is the best cover of this masterpiece I've ever listened to. He's such an awesome and loveable singer.

[@peakyblinder9194]

Listen to roger ridley

Joe Cockers version brilliant.

[@gazcross3926]

What a pleasure to listen to ... great voice, great talent.

[@maddiesiegmund5623]

This is the most real life High School Musical thing in existence

[@alvinthechipmunk777]

not really

[@kevinbacon8716]

Why are so many people bashing this kid? He's not the best singer in the world ,but he's pretty damn good. He's only going to get better.

[@TheMusicguy68]

SHAUN SMITH! Wow! This young man has a great voice! I'd buy this song tomorrow. I really liked his singing a lot! He has lots of talent and an excellent future in music!

[@ziyou3494]

As soon as he starts singing I get goose bumps all over.

[@pinkdisney4ever]

It's 2018 and I still remember this audition ! GREAT JOB

[@UntouchableNYsee]

One of my most favorite songs EVER created by such a wonderful and talented Mr. Bill Withers

[@Corey-fi7yj]

Did you ever hear the version of a young Michael Jackson...the best version I ever heard

[@0a1adiec8]

​ @Corey well Horace Andy is the best version without any doubts.

[@smassey85]

He is very handsome, rugged and is a great singer! Totally enjoyed his performance

[@teresamorales7485]

This kid just gave me goosebumps!

[@dpoole]

That young man trumped that when I was a younger man that was one of my favorite songs I still love song well done

[@GraysonAngelique]

Love it. He put his own touch, his own soul to it. It was emotionally stirring for me to watch.

[@Bonified369]

I'm home alone, 11 at night all the way over in the US clapping like a fool because this kid is so outstanding. Brilliantly done.

[@mikehein8970]

Now that's REAL music and a freaking awesome voice... damn! He's got talent!

[@robbyrobrob1]

That was well done young man. My sentiments exactly.

[@keithpurduecroft]

I was there when the First performance happened. Match That! This young squire brought it home! Long overdue. Well-kickass-done!!

[@alexisjohanson4454]

Shaun has a great voice and does a great job with this song! This is a nice style of music for him. Hope to hear more from him in the future.

[@jeffmayelin]

beautiful! no one expected this performance. that's what makes it so damn great!

[@tonyallison1115]

Excellent Shaun - one of my best ' all time ' songs , and you delivered it brilliantly 👌👏👍.

[@jimshaw9449]

Fun fact, the most repeated phrase in musical recording is "I know" 26 reps, this young man hit it perfectly!

[@billybodybuilder]

Well done young lad , you just nailed a 70's classic !

[@boutiquehotelglobe]

I can honestly say that you have THE best live cover of this song that I've ever heard.

[@jenicamohlman7657]

Beautiful voice!! I almost cried listening to him sing that song. So amazing!!!

[@PatoGarcia]

That's what I call an awesome voice!

[@anandmarella]

Bill is one of my favourites, but Shawn was exceptional...loved it...

[@619mark1]

I agree with Simon. His hands in the pocket shyness helped soften his attractiveness and made him appear to be more about the music then his looks.

[@emameyer]

*than

[@janetmabank]

That's really good for a kid , he is 17 and can sing this song is awesome

[@Shanonian]

I should be asleep by now. Instead, I’m crying. This moved me 😁 He’s a talented guy

[@ukxxsal]

This was the first time I'd ever heard this song and I absolutely loved it!

[@Pinky_Bubbles]

Beautifully done , he seems very humble. With his voice , he will accomplish what he wants , making people happy through music.

[@shanke300]

Bill, your contributions are appreciated by today's youngsters, which is truly a gift

[@ksfoo5915]

He's s good. I half expect him to stumble on the 'I know, I know, I know...' part but he breezed through effortlessly. Brilliant ...

[@YoungBoiiiJ]

Its one of the greatest song out there and he covered it superbly

[@shahsulong]

one of the best rendition. LOVE it!!

[@KM-ze3tr]

This was so good and his friends being true lads and supporting him makes this even more heartwarming.

[@TheMusicguy68]

SHAUN SMITH! Shaun Smith has a great sounding voice! If he pursued music as a career, He would enjoy much success! Go for it Shaun. I enjoyed your performance!

[@Nosilla808]

Of course he's got soul. Beautiful tone of voice. First line he sang was perfect and he didn't falter throughout the whole performance!

[@kingtut23456]

[@subbiejon6325]

All these people who criticize these shows are either jealous or talentless. Want people who say that hate theses shows ,DONT WATCH THE FUCKING CLIPS!!!

[@beebrian2121]

Yes. Definitely. I hate when people whine about how they're exploiting people. They're not. They're simply maximizing ratings on top of giving opportunities. There's nothing wrong with that.

[@amostake]

Great version of the song. I hope he does well.

[@snh4228]

Really? This was like 5 years ago lol

+"Once There Was An Ugly Barnacle, He Was SO Ugly That Everyone Died, the end" -Patrick Pinhead Star ....that is absolutely outstanding, I am going to steal it, change it round a bit, and use it as my own creation as if from my own imaginatiuon and take all the credit....lol !

[@teasiawilliams128]

hey

[@thamiva]

luv this song and her voice💘

[@ravcuk]

When something gives you goosebumps you know it has to be good..

[@williambilyeu9801]

He repeated "I know, I know" too many times and changed the lyrics from the original afterwards. I don't know if it was deliberate, or he forgot the lyrics. Still he has a very nice voice and delivery.

[@ammarsheikh0345]

That makes me emotional everytime! The best part when Simon winks 😉

[@kissimmeebarcelona]

Very very good! Awesome performance!
