Ben Does a Soft Rock Abba Number

Filed under: 2006 Contestants,Ben

Ben X FactorBen commented before his performance: “The comments I have had off the judges so far are out of this world. I am terrified of singing Abba. I have put in so much practice this week, you have no idea. I just hope that it isn’t a complete disaster.” Judges comments were as follows:

Louis: “Ben, it wasn’t a shambles. I know its not your type of thing but you pulled it off. You are a very talented singer. The arrangement was your own. You are safe”

Simon: “Very ironic that the song was called S.O.S. I hated it. It fell into a soft rock area, hated the arrangement. 1980′s meat loaf arrangement. Big fan of yours but thought it was a bit desperate.”

Sharon; ” A bit off key in the beginning but you pulled it off, you made it your own and next week Simon just wants to say ‘I’ve still got four.’”

  2. Well done to Ben for surviving A**A week.

    All power to him. Here’s hoping that the coming weeks will allow him to perform songs that suit his strengths and musicality. He’s the best of the bunch: a singer who delivers with heart and balls…

    Please, can someone make him wear the tight jeans again?
