It's a good choice for him, it's his vocal range

I think he's fantastic on this. I never knew he was such a cool dude! Not sure about Strangers In The Night though. I really liked his "mod father " vibe with The Jam, The Who etc. I suppose he needs to get out that "comfort zone".

Knowing your history with Stubbsy, I don't think he'll be singing "Strangers in the Night" about you Mich!!!

I was shocked he got through (disloyal I know!), but thought he was much better in the group performance, he juset needs to let go of the nerves!

Go Ray!!!

First time I've posted in here. Have to admit I was a little worried. I'm sure with a little more practice he could have nailed that song, I really thought it suited his voice.

The only two yet to be bottom three, its not impossible, but I think Ray got away with that one a bit tonight...mind, if that doesn't get him into the bottom three, what will.

I'd love to see him do Somebody Told Me by the Killers - it would be something else....

I hope so. As I said in another thread they're the only ones who really seem to be doing this for the "right" reasons. There are far too many in there that are inittowinit.

I hope Ray gets an up tempo song for Mondays show. A test of his popularity was tonight when he struggled with the song but still coasted through. Somebody Told Me is actually a very good shout for a song for Ray.

would be a really good song! Ok, he's not the best singer but at least he knows this comp is about having fun and making money for charity! no pitiful desperation for a recording contract, and he takes criticism from the judges with real class!

Yes although I agree with others that Ray can't sing. When the judges have praised him the in past, he never takes it seriously and when he is slated he takes it well and doesn't get all offended, which shows to me that he does not think he is a great singer. I think he is doing what he can while he is in there, but once out i think he will not give it a second thought. I like him as a person, and would prefer him to beat Colin, , Fred and Angellica, for those reasons. Those three think they are better than they are imo.

they really do!!! I do feel their reactions to criticism are genuine but they need to let go!! Ray has such a good attitude! If Ray doesn't win I think TPT should do it!

What I like the most about Ray is his modesty, exemplified by the look of total shock on his face every time he makes it through.

He seems like a really nice unassuming guy who is in it just for a laugh and to make some money for charity. And unlike some of the others, he is not using Fame Academy to raise his profile. I would really like to see him win because of this.

Go Ray Go.
