Christopher Maloney Sings Bette Midler’s The Rose On X Factor

Receiving a standing ovation from the audience on singing talent shows is difficult enough, but for all four judges to rise to their feet, you must truly perform.

And that’s exactly what Christopher Maloney did. The nervous 34 year old blew away the entire auditorium of the UK’s X Factor singing Bette Midler’s classic hit The Rose in an emotional spectacle that left him tearing up.
