Benjamin got Sir Tom to turn for his audition.

Sir Tom said: “I loved it. You sound different. I loved your version of that song, you nailed it.

“You’ve got a great edge to your voice, you’ve got attitude and that’s it – I’m glad you’re on my team. You need to be here.”

Olly added: “It was an incredible performance. That was a real nice audition with bags of energy.”

Agreed Anne-Marie: “I feel like we didn’t have to see you to know that you were performing and I love that. I feel like a lot of people are going to love watching you.”

Will.i.am commented: “You did an awesome job. It’s awesome to have you on the show, your level of talent, fearlessness, sass. When you sang that song, I was getting Prince vibes.”
