Ben Haenow: 'Ed Sheeran Is An Inspiration To Me'
The X Factor 2014 winner has sung Ed's praises as he looks to take a leaf out of his book ahead of his music career...
Lucy BaconHaving been crowned the winner of The X Factor 2014 just last night, Ben Haenow has spoken to MTV News about how much he looks up to Ed Sheeran after they performed together over the weekend.
"As a UK artist he's taken over the world really and I think he's an incredible bloke. For one guy to stand on stage and have 40,000 people eating out of the palm of his hand, I think is amazing," Ben told us.
Ben went on to add what advice the Brit chart-topper gave him, what with him now being a superstar in the making.
"He's definitely an inspiration to me musically and he just kind of said to focus and believe in yourself, and I think that's the best advice I could give anyone who wants to go into the music industry, and to get that from him was just brilliant."
While there's a lot of eyes on him as the winner to get the number one christmas single next weekend, though he has some stiff competition from Mark Ronson's 'Uptown Funk'.
"Christmas number one would be incredible but whatever happens, I've got to release that and it's gone to number one which is just a great, great thing," he said.
Adding: "Yeah christmas number one would be wicked."
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
And, darling, I will
Be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart
Could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well me, I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So, honey, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mhm
I know you will still love me the same
'Cause, honey, your soul
Could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's
Forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how
People fall in love in mysterious ways
And maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
And maybe we found love right where we are
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
