Default One Trick Pony

Louis described Ray as a one trick pony with his swing style, could the same be said about Ben with his rock style?

Who is the One Trick Pony?

Ben is the least boring person there IMO, His style of singing is what makes him to likeable, and popular, he knows what the public like and he uses it very well, Ray is boring and i just can't like him, plus hes so cocky! Ben is very humble and takes every comment wether it be good or bad and works on it.

Neither.They both just have a preffered style of singing and that's what they are good and I believe both have made songs their own especially in the week just gone by.

I always think it's best to be great at something rather than average at everything,it's not about versatility in the real world it's about finding your own identity as an artist and both Ben and Ray have that.

Also Ray's perfomance in motown week was not really typical swing and he can do both slower and faster songs.

They are both one trick ponies.

But as they say isn't it better to be good at one thing than nothing at all.
