The X Factor performance of this song has somehow past the original. Wonder how The Voice feels about that??

^^Its not an embarrassing question at all. I wonder how Christina and the Voice feel about it. I don't watch the XFactor, but I wonder if they had to give permission for Alex & Sierra to perform it. I'm sure they thought their version wouldn't touch the original, but I guess it did.

The Voice has nothing to do with "Say Something" other than Christina/AGBW performing it on the show. If anything X-Factor is bringing more awareness to the original which will only drive sales.

I'm sure they thought their version wouldn't touch the original, but I guess it did. It wasn't an original composition for The Voice. They had to get permission from the label. The longevity of that song will collapse just like all songs that are performed and sent to iTunes by contestants.

Matthew Schuler from the Voice is still top 40 on itunes after hitting # 1 3 weeks ago though :)

The exception is never the norm.
(and yes, I'm sure there's an exception that statement too)

Sheesh Its not like this is a hard song to replicate. Anyways, the original still tops Alex & Sierra for me. Thier version wasn't even the same. He played a guitar during half the song.
And its X Factor...they sing other peoples music...its what they do.

This is a beautiful song, simple as that. The lyrics and delivery are what drives it. I don't think Christina serves as much to the song other than beautiful background noise, but I'm glad to see her doing well (even though I really didn't care for her personality in the past, gurl can sang!). I knew as soon as I heard it, it would be big. Welcome back xtina

I am kind of confused by the question of how Voice and Christina feel about the song doing well from X-Factor performances. I don't see why the Voice would care at all or Christina because both should be used to fast rise and fall performance situations on shows like Voice and X-Factor. It has actually led to the original gaining a lot of Itunes so I guess how they feel would be...good? for Christina. I can't see Voice caring at all since Say Something is not affiliated with them.

There is this Pop mix by Mr. Mig and Mike Rizzo. No word on whether it will be promoted as an alt version for radio to play, but it's out there. https%3A//soundcloud.com/mikerizzonyc/christina-aguilera-great-big

That remix is a mess particularly with the sped up vocals.

Is the Xfactor performance getting lots of hits on youtube? I wonder if that will count as streams for the song on Billboard?

JUST NOOOO Is the Xfactor performance getting lots of hits on youtube? I wonder if that will count as streams for the song on Billboard? i don't think so cuz i guess streaming points are gained from the original audio only (like that Wrecking ball parody by Steve Kardynall which has the original audio)

I just watched the video for this song.
I think the strength of this song is in its simplicity, both in the video and the song itself. Christina soars because she isn't overpowering and lets herself sit in the background. But even just the lyrics themselves. They're simple but they're so powerful.
Watching the video emphasized a quality in this song that I think can make a song so incredibly powerful and that is drawing attention the permanence of certain situations. When you think about death, for example, it's something that can't be undone. A relationship ending is something else that typically can't be undone. Just the idea that something you've committed so much time and effort draws to a conclusion is a hard thing to grasp and I think this song captured that emotion just before you let go, with the line "same something, I'm giving up on you."

ok I finally heard this and it's so good. Christina actually sounds good too, she should sing songs like this permanently imo.
