      I heard of WY a week ago from a youtube tribute video. I did my researched and fell in love with his musicality. I bought all his CD's and enjoying every songs from the album. Brilliant! I am unable to open up the video here (not available in your area), however, I was able to listen to the playback and saw his photos. The song sets were Amazing, Brilliant, and Fantastic. WY is amazing. When he sings he connects every notes to your heart and souls. Simply the BEST!

      I am hoping someday I will have the opportunity to watch him live. But, for the meantime I would like to thank you for the opportunity to hear him and watch his photost slide shows. At least, I felt like I was in there live even I am across the miles from USA.

      I love WY! Again, thank you. I agree with the post above...MORE! MORE! MORE!

      I too agree with the comments about Will Young. He is certainly a superb singer and entertainer and we need to see more of him on television. Why weren't his performances not shown on the BBC coverage from Glastonbury etc?

      The thing about Will is that he connects with the songs he is singing - and you can hear every word.

      The Great British Public did the right thing voting him winner all those years ago!

      I was lucky enough to win a ticket for the concert in Blackpool and even luckier to gain access! Thanks BBC, it was brilliant and so pleased for all the links to be able to watch again and for those who missed out. All the artists gave great performances but have to say Will Young was awesome, he is such a wonderful live performer and can't wait to see him on tour in Nov/Dec.
      Thanks again to Radio 2 - you did a brilliant job.

      Thank you Radio 2 for the live coverage from Blackpool, it was great to see all the artists perform but for me one stood out and that was the very talented Will Young. His stage presence is phenominal and his vocal is just amazing live. Every song he sings with such passion and always gives 100% of himself to it. When he sang Who Am I he was very emotional and had a tear in his eye, and might I say so did I, I found myself mesmerised with his wonderful performance.
      I' am just so glad Will Young entered the Pop Idol competition some eight years ago because he is for me the best live singer this country has seen for a very long time, thank you again Radio 2 and we can't wait to see him again soon.

      WOW Will Young is fantastic. His live performance is even better than his cd recordings. Not many singers can sound this good live. l love his voice and the emotion he shows when singing. A true star we should see more of him.

      I have just been viewing the performance of Will Young and his truly marvellous band. What a totally unique and wonderful talent Mr Young has become since those early days on Pop Idol. He has learnt and tuned his craft over the past seven years and just gets better and better. He is simply an astonishing live performer who lives and breaths every note of every song. We need more of seeing Will live on the BBC. Thanks so much for showing the whole set on iplayer.
