Came across this song today, it appears to be one of the favourites in YouTube today. As you already seen the title, it’s a classic, and sung in almost every singing competition that you know. This time, X-factor gathered all 12 finalists and performed ‘Hero’ in aid of the ‘Help For Heroes’ Charity, which is set up to help Britain’s wounded troops and their families as well. A good cause, I would say.

It’s great that huge singing competitions like X-Factor, American Idol to get involved in the charity to instill the public awareness, especially to the youngsters, since they had made such great impact in the entertainment world nowadays. X Factor is practically the British style of American Idol, a TV reality show to discover the singing talents in Britain, singers like Leona Lewis and Shane Ward are some that made it from the show. I have not really been following this season’s episodes, but from the clip it is not hard to notice there are some great singers in it.

A little trivia for it: There were 2 contestants who were unable to make it on stage due to some technical errors (some doors got jammed, according to Simon Cowell). Too bad.. well, hope the show would make it up to them, maybe in episodes to come. Keep their finger crossed!
