X-Factor 3 Live Show 7 : Ben - Live and Let Die

[BerryLizful]

Absolutely love it. It's just, Leona had the "thing", so she won.

[37KMV]

i do not remember him

[Hulk2k6]

He had some Curtis Sitgers/Todd MacDonald hair thing going on!

Still this was his best performance!

[scruffaroo]

That year of x factor was best ever leona ben and my personally favourite ray!

[alexnzx]

He is a way better singer than that Ray guy who doesn't have a tune in his head and Leona who's voice has as much personality than a bucket of water. He is a great singer. Just because he is not in his early 20's he doesnt win.

[DarkDevilDale07]

@alexnzx well as leona sold 6.5million copies of her debut album id like to say youre talking shit.

[kaneundertaker4life]

@DarkDevilDale07 haha, well that guy is certainly not wrong about the Ray part, ... as soon as i heard it was Leona vs Ray in the finals, the x factor was over with a 100/1 chance for Ray to win, who the hell was voting for him, the grannies?

[TheTradge]

He should have at LEAST been in second place, much much better musician than Ray Quinn! I have to say though, Leona WAS a very worthy winner as she is very talented as well =]

[makusa9]

fantastic performance..one of the best i've ever seen on x factor.. =))

[Bagpuss76]

Hard to believe he landed in the bottom two after this performance...stupid xf voters...

[gazsss]

its a shame he was in leona's year cos if he wasnt he more than likely wud of wo and had a decent career 

however leona did deserve to win

gud luk ben

[AnimeFanzo]

Ray got into the final he's not even that good :\

[tigereyes5]

Completely agree.

I can't believe Ray beat him to the final; was GB drunk that night?

[laurenzomoore]

awesome performance bro..

ben come to ireland and look up bmg records and do what u did on x factor and become the god in ireland that u deserve buddy.. larry

[Shaftsus]

He should have won

[greensmith999]

my favourite contestant on this programme

we would of won on any other year

although no one can deny that leona deserved to win that series cause she was incredible.

[lozlefudge]

I loved Ben!!

I was gutted when he didn't win...

Spent alot of money haha

x

[vampeee]

He's so talented. A true musician not just a singer. I wish he would've won :(

[kaioshin02]

SUPERSTAR PERFORMANCE....

It's like watching superstar rock concert.

[JonezOnFire]

This guy is absolutely amazing i want his album. i hate it when talent like this goes unnoticed. he shud be massive!

how many albums has he brought out & what r they called?

[davil005]

just search for him on google.

he should have won he is 100 times better then the winner of last 3 years...

[Saz249]

Ben's debut album is called "Picture Of You", released in March 2007. It's good but not as great as it could have been - the producer's 'softened' it up too much I think. The second album should be coming out in March going by what Ben said in a recent interview. No covers this time, we're told, so all Ben's own music - performed and produced the way he wants hopefully. If you're interested, there's a link to his fansite on my profile page. I'm the site's webmaster. :O)

[rossgumbrell]

hes need a haircut

[owen23babybull]

You won't see a performance like this on X Factor 2008... The current bunch are nowhere near Ben's level and he came 3rd!!!

[bumdicbum]

wheres he gone to the best performance by anyone on this show. he wud hav won but 4 leona

[djwattsydarlo]

best performance ever on x factor, a great voice and a great piano player, u wont see anyone with this much talent on this years show

[kir250305]

please Ben give to us more music!!! love your voice.

[fastskyr34]

It's pointless to compare Ben with Leona : they both have entirely different voices and styles. Both are very talented artists. I did feel sorry for Ben because if he was American, he would be a huge star by now! Unfortunately, most Brits go for light pop rather than rock, but Americans love rock stars!

[GuItArPlYeRSmidge]

axl wuld be proud

[Greguitar94]

why axl??

[nextjimmypage]

guns n roses cover this song, axl rose is their singer lol

[Greguitar94]

Yeh, I knew they covered, but if anyone shud be proud it wud be the beatles!

[Pure7pazaak]

It was Mccartney with Wings, not the Beatles.

[adiel06]

how come he is not writing anymore music, because i think he is the best male singer to ever come out of the x factor and its a shame to waste that talent

[druzbar]

So what instruments was it that Leona could play? I say Ben is a talented all round musician AND singer.

[bracefacebb]

druzbar i Leona can play the piano and she knows how to play the guitar as well.she is a talented songwriter and an amazing singer.

Ben is pretty amazing too, it'd have been so much better if he was in the final with Leona then it would be a tight competition

[0502750]

This song is great the Original has been around for a long time, Paul McCartney, what a legend. Ben was either going to ruin this song or bring it alive again, he brought it aline, he's brilliant. The only reason he didnt win was because Leona's song choices and voice was what we are all used to

[0502750]

Wot a voice! I agree it was a shame he was up against leona coz he is amazing

[cardiac0830]

This is top shit

[emzil]

Ben really choose the wrong year to enter the competition, if he had entered the x factor this year he would have clearly won, it was a shame last year he had to compete with leona (who is the best singer produced from the UK I say) He is amazing!!

[DonMorte2]

I wouldnt go quite that far, but out of a reality show deffinatly :)

[gohan2091]

Leona was clearly the best but Ben was very very good. He has such a powerful voice.

[steviegude]

Just a great singer. We were in need of someone like him. He is superb

[craigo2191]

the public didnt really vote thou coz its in the news they have said vote in shows and compititions have just been a scam

[jacklunnz0r]

i am ben

... no seriously i am

[bothered123]

haha, your jack, ya name says it!

[Eliotodge]

ben is THE BEST

[gingersnapssg]

the fire is a nice, if slightly cheesy, touch :) sad he was kicked out :( but look at all the people who have won these kinda things, and the people that lost. the people who lost have stuck around ALOT longer than people who won. anyone seen much of Hear'Say recently? My point exactly. GO BEN!

[Wegason]

This was an excellent, energetic performance of the song that sounded simply awesome.

[lmaolmaorofl]

Ben had to go, he was getting boring and stale.. Ray FTW!!

[thomasblue06]

ben shouldnt have went

[jimmypaddy]

he is a proper rocker. His voice does make a change from overly bought into peice of shit that is pop. He should win becouse he shows amazing energy that would be gladly appreciated by the public.

[AaronLMM]

The public voted, dumbass

[jimmypaddy]

i'm giving an opinion, why i think he should have won. i know it's public vote. It's just what i thought

[torbonator]

ben will go far, and this performance is showing that. any one who doesnt like ben you need to listen to real music

[masonsuk]

I wasn't sure about Ben at audtions, but I think he's been great at live performances! Him nd Leona are easily the best!

[claraq90]

That and the McDonald bros "I will walk 500 miles" were definelty the 2 best performances of the show, amazing

[Trigmg]

His voice has a NATURAL quality

[Debz1809]

I really do not like Ben - his voice is too rough for me. I wasnt surprised he was in the bottom 2 as this performance was completley mad. he did not need to do it like this - he is a maniac !

[HasH700]

all u ben-haters are idiots...he did not get this far by having a shite voice and if u think tht is screaming then u shud hear some real rock music...dont u think he makes a nice change from all the pop crap tht is out these days?!?!

[MouseGirl86362]

Agreed HasH700. Ben has a unique and powerful voice.

[purplerose35]

Ben Rocks!!!!

[XxSexySamwisexX]

love him want him to win! amazing voice and that piano skill!

[carriebuk]

His voive is completely hideous, yelling and sounds a bit like the awful Michael Bolton. Yuk!

[jamesy20]

ben is class!!! god only knows y he was in the bottom 2

[brownielad77]

Hope he get kicked out next week

[emzil]

haha he broke his stool!! lol luv him so sad 2 see him in the bottum shod of been the mc donald bros!! hate them

[xsessyx]

BRILLIENT!!!! luv him xxx

[UncleFeedle]

My band used to play this.  It's a bloody difficult song to get right.

[beatlesarecool]

paul mccartney waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaay better

[loopylou007]

I love it. Well done Ben!!!

[CJF14]

Take out the shouting and screaming and it's fantastic music, but that's the instrumental version...Anyway, 2/5 from me

[crazyreflection]

Too much screaming for my taste. :(
