MSN exclusive: Olly Murs performs live!
X Factor favourite Olly Murs performs three tracks from his second album, In Case You Didn't Know, exclusively for MSN Music…
We've been fans of cheeky chappy Olly Murs since his first X Factor audition, so it was a no-brainer when we were asked if we'd like to film an acoustic session with him.
Recorded at the Gibson Rooms in Central London, Olly performed three tracks from his forthcoming second album; Heart Skips A Beat, new single Dance With Me Tonight (out on Monday), and the album's title track, In Case You Didn't Know.

Off camera nugget:
Olly and his crew turned up early (which is pretty much unheard of in music industry circles), so they had to hang about while we set up our camera equipment.
Olly spotted an acoustic guitar lying around and immediately started strumming the Ben E. King classic, Stand By Me.
He seemed fixated on that particular song and must have sung it half a dozen times in the half hour before we were ready to start filming.
It was only when he launched into his latest single Dance With Me Tonight that we realised it's got the same opening chords.
It seems Olly gets his inspiration from the best!

you all have your own opinion but i think that he has worked so hard to get where he is now, he might have got famous by x-factor but one direction have and some over popstars and people like them??? he is actually a really good singer and dancer, so leave him alone and find something better to do if you dont like him then dont comment on this, olly is amazing!!

Could someone please tell me who the F**k told this " Cheeky barrow boy chappie" He is a "Popstar" after all he came second in a karaoke x factor, The fact he has brought two albums out shows just how fickle the gullible public are.! He also prance's around the studio backstage like some prima donna like he's god's gift to women and a real superstar that everyone should look up to, When the real truth is 20yrs ago he would have been laughed off stage also the "Music" is the type that airfields use on tannoys to scare birds off the runways.!
Yes you can laugh all the way too the bank Olly, but when your girly fan base grows up it will be back too the call centre where you used to work...!

This guy is truly awful he just can't sing or dance. The fact that he has a second album beggars belief.
