On the ninth series of The X Factor, the song was performed by eventual winner James Arthur at the bootcamp, playing an uptempo rendition on acoustic guitar. The song has also been voted by critics and music fans as the greatest ballad of all time. Music video The music video is shot in black and white, and makes use of the ' watercolour ' video editing effect which effectively blurs the image.
