It's a beautiful day....

Let the best man win... and so he did. The winner of Australian X-factor 2010 is named Altiyan Childs.

He was truely on fire last night preforming the Kings of Leon song that almost got him send home early on and the words of his mentor Ronan Keating almost had him reduced to tears:



The last song Altiyan choose to sing at the x-factor was U2's beautiful day which proved to be very fitting:



That Altiyan won means he will be the won to record the single Somewhere in the World and I for one will diffinatly be looking out for it. Way to go Altiyan and Ronan.

Somewhere in the world

So this is it. The Australian x-factor has come to an end and the votes will be counted and the results will be revealed tomorrow.

As you may know I have been following this show on youtube since it's beginning and I have had my own choice for a winner from the beginning. Fortunatly he is still here. In the great final. In case you don't know who he is look at him preforming at the grand final:



and he also does an amazing job with Bon Jovi's Like a Prayer (actually a better one that Jovi himself in my opinion):



If you have read my previous blog on the australian x-factor you might remember Altiyan forgetting the words to Kings of Leon's Sexes on fire. Ronan Keating brought him trough anyway and Altiyan proved Ronan was right to do so and if you were ever in doubt take a look at this:



The last song I want to show you is the winning song. The song that who ever wins x-factor will get to record and release as a single. To be fair here is the other finalists singing the song.

Sally Chatfield:



Andrew Lawson:



And last but not least Altiyan Childs. The guy that should get to release this single. He is without doubt the best proformer and his voice is right for the song. He is simply the best of the 3:



If you live in the UK or Australia vote for Altiyan Childs and if you do not keep your fingers crossed with me. Altiyan should win this year's Australian X-factor that is for sure.

Aussie x-factor champion

Normally I don't even watch many talent shows (or I do but I never really follow one contestant or show just watch when nothing else is on), but this time I do.

By coincidence I stumbled across the Australian x-factor when I was reading my twitter feeds and thought I would look it up, since Ronon Keating was one of the judges.

Ronon Keating was my absolute fav singer when I was a kid and a teen, and I still buy his cds and love listening to his music eventhough I don't listen to nearly as much pop as I did when I was younger, but Ronan has an amazing voice.
But is actually another coincidence it is his last contestant that has impressed me enough to keep following the show on youtube (it is not airing in Denmark).

His name is Altiyan Childs and this is one of his first appearences on the show:



I know, not to impressive, but you got to admit his voice is pretty good and he has charisma. Ronan Keating did see something in this guy from the get go that most people didn't and what do you know?He was right!

His first few live shows were good but he didn't really start to come in to his own before the 4th live show were he sung Bon Jovi's "Like a prayer" but it wasn't untill the 5th show he really started to impress me. This is him singing U2's "Beautiful day":




And thoughout the next couple of shows he only continued to get better. This is him doing Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger.":



But this guy actually also did Bryan Adams classic "Summer of 69" justice and at the same time he showed himself able to put on just a good of a show with an instrument in hand as he does without it:



This sunday Altiyan put on two amazing preformances whic send him through to the final 3. I can't vote for him since I am not an aussie myself, but if you are. Lend this guy a hand. He deserves to win that is for sure. Still not convinced? Then look at these last two vids of Altiyan singing his heart out and judge again :)

This is the very moving "The living years":



and this is Altiyan rocking the show with Bon Jovi's 80's hit "Blaze of Glory" the title track of the movie Young Guns:



He's good talent right??
