    Took me about 15 mins to search for this song after 9 years. This song is timeless.

    Still one of the best acoustic performances I’ve ever heard

    I'm Australian and I will always remember this 2014 Xfactor audition as one of the best ever. He went on the live shows and was just so humble and grateful to be given the opportunity, you could tell how seriously he took his music and was the runner up to winner Marlisa, who I feel wasn't as talented and only 15 at the time, she released her single but disappeared after. His winning single was good, and had he won I believe he would have been a lot more successful.

    You know what I love about this? He seems to be himself. He made the song his own. Not like other covers where people try to copy the original.

    I seldom comment. This is an exception.
    Dean
    Literally had full control of that stage and audience from the first few cords of his guitar.
    This is sheer talent. I wish him great success. He has great talent.

    I've just recently found this video. I love watching these because of the fire you see in the faces of those who are chasing a dream. I know he is a long way past this audition and I know a little about doing it myself. I love all his other music and videos but I could watch this one video 1000 times and still go back to it again and watch like it was the first time. He inspires me to keep chasing my own dream. I must state this though.....he has got to be the most beautiful young man in the face I have ever seen. Those dark eyes, hair and the shape of his eyes and nose.....OMG..... He has this mystery about himself that is drawing as well. His body language when he performs says he is the music not he is performing it. I would love to see him live. I believe he has that gift that goes into the spiritual mode not just a singer, song writer that will one day be off the books. He is right up there with Elvis. He takes you for a ride you will never forget and cant wait to go on again. Love him! Bravo!

    Her hair is Harlow gold
    Her lips are sweet surprise
    Her hands are never cold
    She's got Bette Davis eyes
    She'll turn the music on you
    You won't have to think twice
    She's pure as New York snow
    She got Bette Davis eyes
    And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
    All the better just to please you
    She's precocious, and she knows just what it
    Takes to make a pro blush
    She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes
    She'll let you take her home
    It whets her appetite
    She'll lay you on the throne
    She got Bette Davis eyes
    She'll take a tumble on you
    Roll you like you were dice
    Until you come out blue
    She's got Bette Davis eyes
    She'll expose you, when she snows you
    Off your feet with the crumbs, she throws you
    She's ferocious and she knows just what it
    Takes to make a pro blush
    All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes
    And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
    All the better just to please you
    She's precocious, and she knows just what it
    Takes to make a pro blush
    All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes
    She'll tease you
    She'll unease you
    Just to please you
    She's got Bette Davis eyes
    She'll expose you
    When she snows you
    She knows you, she's got Bette Davis Eyes

    This audition was amazing. But I wonder how many people today knows what is meant by Betty Davis eyes. I hope before he sang this song he went on online and watched some of her movies. There is a feeling given off from the original song that matched Betty Davis' eyes that seemed to draw you in. Big and expressive that just seemed to manipulate people.
