Prince is renowned for his great taste in music...he probably thinks it is better than the original...

If you google Ruth and click on videos you'll find her PR performance, it's not hosted on YT but on a fansite.

Perhaps it's because it's been put up by X Factor or maybe he's just not got round to having it taken off as yet.

Perhaps this time Syco have applied for permission and it has been granted!

There's also an Oz Idol 2009 PR Performance still up, so maybe when chosen as a song for the main show they go through a proper clearance.

If Ruth was that good, what major success has she had since? granted she put her heart and soul into it and it was a real Rock version!

Ruth has signed a 3 million deal with EMI records (Robbie's label) and is recording her album now. It will be out next year. Too early to judge her.

It's probably part of the clearance package.

I was wondering if Simon had got permission because was a small clip of Prince singing it on the programme, does anyone recall the same thing last year?

I had called him an idiot about it, as I felt it would get less views for Danyl if it was going to be taken down everytime, so getting permission made sense. Maybe they weren't quite aware of the power of Ytube last year as they are this year, but last year that song must have been in their song choice list or not? For Ruth it was a singoff song, but for Danyl he did it as a main song.

Thats what im wondering too, Could it be his looks as there is massive thread. The ruth version was the best one i have ever heard of that song and Danyl's is just abysmal. I destest his version so much.

Hmm, maybe because people are voting for him? Just a wild guess.

Why shouldn't he be on the show? He's one of the most talented, if not the most talented, singers there.

Despite the backlash against him he is obviously still getting the votes.

It's a shame that ITV don't seem to want to archive old performances for the fans.

Anyway, Ruth's Purple Rain is here:

Isn't this down to a new deal between youtube and Warner Bros to allow Warner Bros content to be shown?

If it is, Youtube still haven't updated their content recognition filters. I tried nicking that Dailymotion vid and putting it on Youtube recently, but still got the copyright flag.

It applies to a lot of stuff from last year's X-Factor. I tried to upload Beyonce's X-Factor performance too and got the same result.
