coconut skins on x factor

once again, damien is on x factor somehow... the performer did it quite well and interesting... and the story behind is quite touching.

here is, robbie (who looks a little bit like joel

) singing coconut skins:

the best of luck to this guy... much beyond of this commercial tv show.

I must say it's a brave choice to do this one in audition!
I loved the fact that he did changed the song a bit, and gave it something different, though I believe he haven't really showed all that he can do.
Sounded kind of effort-less.

I'm curious to see how he'll do ^^

He is missing now. And the x factor, friends, and police haven't been able to find him for the last six days.

It seems he quit

Too bad, I liked his performance.
I saw it by accident, ITV was reading waiting for Dowton Abbey and as soon as I heard first chord of Coconut Skins I jumped up. I never watch X Factor and the one time I do this happens :P

he didn't pass bootcamp, just watched yesterday epi and he was terrible... they showed that he didn't practice and slept all day so he didn't remember the lyrics and left

but side effect:

UK charts: 59. (NEW) COCONUT SKINS (Damien Rice) 1 wk thank you homeless guy

that's a pretty good cover actually. sounds very Mumford & Sons-ish

I liked his cover, too. But that is a very sad situation. Why didn't they give him a place to stay for the night if they knew he was homeless?
