Ray Sings “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” On X Factor Love Song Night

Filed under: 2006 Contestants,Ray

Ray X Factor 2006Ray said before his performance: “It was a bit of a risk last week, no-one has ever done a swing version of “Waterloo.” I went back to Liverpool this week and it was just amazing. My Dad has always been a RatPack admirer. I’m proud of myself for sticking to what I love.”

Judges comments were:

Sharon: “Ray, you are a natural, you are so confident very polished at what you do but I don’t know, you are a great performer but I don’t know if you are an album seller. Simon plays it safe every week. You gotta take it to the next stage.”

Louis: “I agree with Sharon. OK, nice, big smile but same thing every week. I want to see you do something different.”
Simon: ” My job is to bring out the best in you. You came here all nervous and suddenly you have confidence and we are gonna continue to do what you do best and you may well make the final after that.”

  5. Gotta agree with Christina. With Nikitta gone I hope little Ray manages to hang in there. He is such a good entertainer. Good luck Ray-meister, hope it’s onwards and upwards.

    Down with Eton Road! How the hell you’re still in there I’ll never know :

  6. Ray – you’re a charmer alright, but even the Ratpackers varied their repertoire you know! Try singing a sad song, and show some other emotions, the all singing all-dancing smiley thing can get a bit grating after a while.

    What’s the betting if Ray makes it to the final he does ‘My Way’??

  9. im praying he goes this week. cant stand the slimy little rat. at least the others try to stick with the theme. the only ones with actual talent are leona robert and ben. i think that ben does need to try a little harder to stop slipping into the rock genre if hes going to prove he aint a one trick pony like ray.
