Yeah watching it again, yet again lol, I've come to the same conclusion, the best audition I've ever seen. He really hit it out of the park. Brilliant guitarist, and reworking this song was genius
One of my Favorites of all time I go back to hear BETTE DAVIS EYES every chance I get just can't get my fill of Dean's legendary performance that night love it
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship Of course there was editing, but what we saw was pretty much as it happened. He came on as a weird "rocker" dude and then blew everyone away with a great performance.
@@John_Malloy The performance was real but I'd put money on the judges responses being edited in. Contestants from reality shows say they change the context of responses or comments, a comment meant for a particular person gets slipped in somewhere else to cause drama. There's no way they would have laughed at him as he was walking out
I've known Dean for a very long time and in all honesty, this bloke was already a true blue Aussie legend well before stepping on this stage! Dean is a seriously authentic man in every way, he's kind, down to earth and as humble as they come!
This is proper, God-given, raw, off-the-street, pure talent. Doesn’t matter how many times I watch this, I still think it’s one of the best auditions of all time.
Out of all the acts i've seen audition this year Dean is the one i can see becoming a recording success no matter how well he does on the show. Charisma, a mysterious charm about him and a damn good musician. I love what he did with this song.
Dean is dead on perfect and a man of mystery. For this performance, the thing about it is also his musicianship. Ppl always focus on vocals, but his guitar playing skill is off the charts.
I love the look of astonishment on his face at the reaction when he is finished playing and seems to be confused over being so well liked thru the entire clip... he's pretty amazing.
His surprised kinda shy smile at the comments afterwards and the people's reactions and his attentive look to hear what the judges were saying, for me was the cherry on top, like the guy didn't really know the talent he has! I LOVE THAT! WHEN brilliance meets humbleness .... Let me watch it again...😬
Played this for my 7 year old daughter a few weeks ago. The other night she said, "Song, get out of my head!" Asked her what song and she said "Her hands are solid gold." Took me a minute to figure out this was what she was referring to. 🤠 Then I let her watch this video again, she was smiling so big.
teppolundgren You are so right, man. Go to any dating site and women will check arrogant over nice. Perhaps deep down they mean a guy who only appears "arrogant" but is not.
This is in my opinion a star in the making. Someone who has defied the odds and remains humble enough to do what God has given as a gift for music as if he were destined all along. I love his charisma his charm and his style...the choice of song perfect for a first audition! I would love to collaborate with him someday he's got betty davis eyes well done dean well done.
If Australia still believes in talent and in real artists this guy definitely will win. But the disease call "Pop Stars" are so contagious and highly infectious so... I feel the worse... I wish Australia make him win...
For those that want to hear more of Dean Ray, you can follow along on his Facebook page ( facebook.com/deanraymusician ). He's releasing new singles every week as part of his 4TRAK project. Only 4 inputs, no auto tune & limited to 2 vocal takes. A great project that leaves nowhere to hide. Take a listen! Cheers, DR MGMT
This guy reminds me of Jim Morrisson from The Doors!!! How is he already not sold a ton of records??????????? he is a super star already. Please take him out of this silly contest and give him a record deal please!!!! Leave this X factor for amateurs who have no other way...ROCK AND ROLL!!!!
Hi, Dean I really admire your performances on the AGT X Factor. To me you're really a superstar. Keep starring on the stage coz you are an awesome performer mate cheers.
This is the only one arm apart from a small clip he did of Coldplays Yellow. I personally think this one is way better but he is one to watch this season. Outstanding...
This guy is amazing! I'd love to listen the full version of his cover! I'm a fan of better davis eyes's song and this is the best cover I've ever heard!!! Absolutely fantastic!
seemed full of himself right off the bat, but he's got the talent to back it up.. so as much as i don't want to like him I have to admit that I'm a fan.
I feel like he did himself a disservice by going on one of these shows. This performance has stayed with me since it happened, and I'm kind of sad that this is really all I've heard from him. Such raw talent needs to be shared. As a busker, my whole life has been about bringing something extra to songs to make people stop... this is it. This performance is just amazing.
Still watching this Deano! how awesome is this.......I'm like thinking ....why isn't Dean real famous by now? I think your real Dean-still have the drawers I made from your poster :) You are one very very good guitar player by the way !
Reality: these audition formatted shows are great for producers because it draws millions of eyes and generates loads of money, however, as much as the artists are lauded for their performance, they seldom reach any real level of future success because they're essentially performing glorified karaoke. We need a show that showcases OG Talent whereby artists would sing their own songs which in turn would increase their chances of going viral and improve future success. I propose a show called OGT
i wish i could meet ya. My story is similar to yours I left my house at 15, although it was a mutual decision, my step dad hated me and my mum wanted me out as soon as i could work etc. been on my own since. I know nobody will ever know how hard its been unless you experience it on your own at such a young age....good luck you Dean :)
9 years ago and still a masterpiece...
it is!
100% fire from Dean 🤯
3 years on, I still come back to get my Dean fix.... love this man .
Jojo you’re not alone...
Don't we all...
5 years on and I keep coming back. Awesome performance
Jojo you are not alone 5 years and I, still can't get enough. Such a talented soul.
Omg i do the same thing
All time favorite audition. The minute he steps to the mic it's over for everyone else
Yep. Best audition ever. Unbelievable. What a legend
I hope the very best for this man right here. 6 years since I’ve seen this, one of the best auditions I’ve seen in any competition
Yeah watching it again, yet again lol, I've come to the same conclusion, the best audition I've ever seen. He really hit it out of the park. Brilliant guitarist, and reworking this song was genius
Apart from his singing...guitar playin' is outta this world man ... WOW ! ! !
Yes it is. Absolutely brilliant
One of my Favorites of all time I go back to hear BETTE DAVIS EYES every chance I get just can't get my fill of Dean's legendary performance that night love it
I noticed the judges were laughing at him as he walked in.
They were standing in respect as he walked out.
Pretty sure that would have been 'produced' by the show producers, meaning added/edited in after his performance

He has a Jim Morrison vibe - that was an amazing audition!!!
watch the sec he stopped playing... the joy and shock on his face when he sees the standing ovation... priceless... he is so good
I've known Dean for a very long time and in all honesty, this bloke was already a true blue Aussie legend well before stepping on this stage!
Dean is a seriously authentic man in every way, he's kind, down to earth and as humble as they come!
facts God bless
My all time favorite audition. 🙂
I never tire of watching this audition video.
Dean is a ready made STAR PERFORMER!!!
This is proper, God-given, raw, off-the-street, pure talent. Doesn’t matter how many times I watch this, I still think it’s one of the best auditions of all time.

9 years later, i still come back to see my favourite TV moment
I love the look of astonishment on his face at the reaction when he is finished playing and seems to be confused over being so well liked thru the entire clip... he's pretty amazing.
he is the young Elvis ! He makes you feel like your in the song and on stage with him.
His surprised kinda shy smile at the comments afterwards and the people's reactions and his attentive look to hear what the judges were saying, for me was the cherry on top, like the guy didn't really know the talent he has!
I LOVE THAT!
WHEN brilliance meets humbleness ....
Let me watch it again...😬
This is fantastic! There are no words for how good this guy is!!
The best audition ive seen. 2018 I'm still watching it I didn't even see it on the show just RUclips
Played this for my 7 year old daughter a few weeks ago. The other night she said, "Song, get out of my head!" Asked her what song and she said "Her hands are solid gold." Took me a minute to figure out this was what she was referring to. 🤠 Then I let her watch this video again, she was smiling so big.
I have seen a HUGE number of auditions, X Factor, Britain's got Talent, American Idol, etc, but of all of them, THIS is the one I remember.
the perfect example of a guy that every girl will like ._. not cocky or arrogant
I like you for what you said😂😂
and TALENTED!
and those eyes! So mysterious
Excuse me? I'm not cocky or arrogant, and that's exactly why NO girl likes me!
teppolundgren You are so right, man. Go to any dating site and women will check arrogant over nice. Perhaps deep down they mean a guy who only appears "arrogant" but is not.
He's GORGEOUS!!
I love the look of total shock on his face that the audience thought he was amazing and he most definitely wasn't expecting that 🙏
he looks more like a Sam to me
+FootyManagerTV oh. my.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Your a fool for that😭💀 but yeah if only dean was here
Soo much raw Talent
9 years and I’m watching for the Xth time

This guy is truly rock and roll no lie!!!!
Greatest audition ever
Thanks for posting these mate. Real MVP
Where are you now Dean..haven't heard of you since the X Factor. .😢
wow he blew me away what a gorgeous guy so much talent
From this to playing at the Palms last Friday night, just amazing.
I hated this at first now I keep coming back to it.
i never get sick of this goose bymps everytime, he really is underrated
This is in my opinion a star in the making. Someone who has defied the odds and remains humble enough to do what God has given as a gift for music as if he were destined all along. I love his charisma his charm and his style...the choice of song perfect for a first audition! I would love to collaborate with him someday he's got betty davis eyes well done dean well done.
Can't get enough of this
"Someone better check your passport cause you are outta this world" for sure ✨
He looks like Sam Winchester from Supernatural
another winchester :D
Teenu PATHEGAMA
What, has Sam also been on?
teppolundgren highly doubt it? haha... I meant this Dean could be another Winchester on Supernatural.
more like Jim Morrison
Yes... Jim Morrison... could not agree more!
I think we have a winner. Best rock artist audition I've seen in a long time - possiblity ever. As Redfoo said 'electricfying'
Am I the only 1 who thought he looked a lot like a younger skinnier Jack Black
+Ender Flower thought so, too
Leonor Albino THANK YOU☺
+Ender Flower I met him last night...funny guy bit overweight these days
absolute genius in music🔥🔥🔥
If Australia still believes in talent and in real artists this guy definitely will win. But the disease call "Pop Stars" are so contagious and highly infectious so... I feel the worse... I wish Australia make him win...
It makes me sick
Still here 2024 🏴💙🎵⭐️🎵anyone tell me where he is today and what became of Mr Rock n Roll 🤩⭐️🤩⭐️
If I were Dean's mom, I would be so very proud of him! He knows what it takes to be a man!
And mo one has ever heard from him again ,.,.shame he was amazing ,better talent than any of the judges that's for sure

This is the only one arm apart from a small clip he did of Coldplays Yellow. I personally think this one is way better but he is one to watch this season. Outstanding...
He has a channel with some originals, type in Pritchy Ray and you will find it.
arm was supposed to be atm by the way.
pedgeman THANKS!!!

So much talent this year!
This season looks to be outstanding! (Sound needs to be better quality, though).
seemed full of himself right off the bat, but he's got the talent to back it up.. so as much as i don't want to like him I have to admit that I'm a fan.
oh my god he was so happy at their reaction what a baaaaabe
Jim Morrison the second ......
Yea~ :) I had commented on :into my arms" that I think Jim Morison, Jimmy Hendrix and S.R.V. all decided to come back as one person!
Yes

What happened to this guy..how is he not a big star?
This kid got it all ❤❤❤
God I love everything about him.
BEST SO FAAAAAAAR
Still the best
Killed it!
I feel like he did himself a disservice by going on one of these shows. This performance has stayed with me since it happened, and I'm kind of sad that this is really all I've heard from him. Such raw talent needs to be shared. As a busker, my whole life has been about bringing something extra to songs to make people stop... this is it. This performance is just amazing.
This is Dean's concert check it out ruclips.net/video/pKFYftJBZqg/видео.html
Still watching this Deano! how awesome is this.......I'm like thinking ....why isn't Dean real famous by now? I think your real Dean-still have the drawers I made from your poster :) You are one very very good guitar player by the way !

He looks like Jim Morrison. I love it.
Denia Rodriguez he does not look like jim at all.
Dean, the next time you come around, stick your cell number on your fine guitar ..
I LOVE this version
here comes the sun :)
he needs to win.
thank you Dean
He looks so good :0
I wanna play with his hair 😫❤️❤️❤️
Is it just me or does this guy have a whole lot of crazy in his eyes? Absolutely brilliant though.
