Dean Ray sings 'Sympathy for the Devil' on The X Factor Australia (VIDEO)

Dean Ray sang 'Sympathy for the Devil' on The X Factor Australia 2014 Live Show 1.

Dean is my pick to win, and I can't really explain why other than that he's just such a magnetic performer. It's hard not to get sucked in by everything he does, mostly because he gets so drawn into what he's doing himself. You can tell how much he feels his performances, and how much of himself he puts into each one. This was a perfect song choice, and a wonderfully minimalist onstage production (well, insofar as fire can be called "minimalist"). Dean Ray just comes across like such a rock star, and I seriously think he could go all the way.
