Sunday, March 21st, 2010
McElderry auditioned for The X Factor in 2007, but it wasn’t shown because he felt he was too young compared to the other contestants and opted to walk away. He auditioned again in 2009 in Manchester and sang Luther Vandross’s “Dance with My Father”. He made it through to the live finals and was announced the winner on 13 December 2009,beating runner up Olly Murs with his version of Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb”.
McElderry’s prize, as winner, was a recording contract with Simon Cowell’s Syco record label, whose parent company is Sony Music Entertainment. The contract has a stated value of £1 million, of which £150,000 is a cash advance and the remainder allocated to recording and marketing costs. The single “The Climb” was released as McElderry’s debut single.
Along with The X Factor finalists, McElderry recorded a charity single, a cover of Michael Jackson’s hit “You Are Not Alone”. It was released in aid of London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital. The finalists premiered the song live on the 15 November edition of the programme; the single was available for digital download that day and a physical release followed the day after. The single reached number one in the UK Singles Chart.
