Dean Ray: Bette Davis Eyes

[@t0xtricity]

Im sad he deleted this from his discography but I know how the industry treats ex x factor contestants :( it's such a beautiful cover, my favorite one to ever exist of this song.

[@eskaweeks]

I'm out of the loop. Why did he delete this from his discography? What did x factor do?

[@t0xtricity]

@@eskaweeks bit long to explain verbatim in a youtube comment, bu know that the x factor is infamous for trying to shape an artist to fit the label (Sony)'s ideal pop star. Simon Cowell's model worked pretty much only on One Direction. Dean was stuck in a contract where he couldn't write or release music he wanted to make and his fanbase died off pretty quickly. flash foward to a couple years adter x factor and he was pretty broke but finally happy making the music he wanted, thn his entire place was rbbed, all his guitars gone and he had to start all again on his own with no support from anyone from the pasr, other than the most dedicated fans who still follow his journey. I don't know for sure but I dare say it felt like freedom to break away from such an awful start to a career. Lots of similar stories with ex contestens from UK, AUS & US versions of the show. I just wish him nothing but the best in the uphill battle for creative freedom.

What happened to this guy? He had talent. Deserved his time in the spotlight.

Bette Davis Eyes Her hair is Harlow gold Her lips a sweet surprise Her hands are never cold She's got Bette Davis eyes She'll turn her 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 a 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 Offer feed 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 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 'Cause she knows you, she's got Bette Davis Eyes

[@jamescrisell-fd3ks]

[@alexsandromedeiros828]

Bette Davis Eyes Kim Carnes Her hair is Harlow gold Her lips, sweet surprise Her hands are never cold She's got Bette Davis eyes She'll turn her music on you You won't have to think twice She's pure as New York snow 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 She got Greta Garbo standoff sighs She's got Bette Davis eyes She'll let you take her home It whets her appetite She'll lay you on her throne She's 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 And 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

[@CARMELLO2009]

It pisses me off this guy hasn't reached a star condition. I wish he could come to Brasil to perform!

[@noworriesespanol9211]

Guitar tutorial pleaseee

[@whenkarina]

Does anyone know why it’s not on Spotify anymore?

[@jamesmurphy8743]

Its got something to do with the rights not being owned by Dean Ray himself, idk if they took it down outa spite or what, but the jist is the company that owns the rights took it all out.

[@ethandominic5039]

He signed a new contract and the new producers did not want anything produced by sony of his still available :( Thank you so much, this and his cover of yellow are 2 of my favourite songs!!!

[@countryroadstakemehome]

tabs? please.

[@antwithlove4954]

😉❤🌹

[@jboao]

must we have 12 seconds of empty space noise and foot steps? adds absolutely nothing to the song.

[@lottiegf]

why he kinda look like jon snow tho

[@shannonmapps7043]

He just doesn’t though 😂

[@shannonmapps7043]

Adam lambert, maybe?

[@Dino-su2wh]

no one can sing like Kim Carnes. Original is the best

[@ELEKTRARE]

Different song 🎧 not the spirit of the song but nice guitar 🎸 acoustic okay 👍🏼

[@drd1924]

WOW!. Ok I dislike this song every time it comes on the radio...but this versions is BAD ASS. I was just googling to find out who the heck betty davis is anyways

[@jrichards4742]

Great voice, great guitar playing but he butchered the song.

[@Tita_007]

I like covers, but this one is bad.

[@MariaGames-xl2mp]

Come to Canada...

[@richardgranholm1561]

Still like Kim carnes version best but his is good but still give honorable mention to the original 1974 can’t remember right off hand what the woman’s name is but the original is completely different.

[@user-pn7zm2go9l]
