Legit! I love in the beginning when Russell and Corey were singing their first solos Ben's face was like 'how am i gonna compete with this?' and then he sang his part and was like 'BAM!' I smiled so big😊😊 And his face at 1:25 and 1:36😂he was so impressed👌
Ok I know the "bring the beat it" is amazing but can we talk about 1:42 where Ben just comes in so smoothly and angelically it's literally perfection like I don't know what to do with myself.
R.I.P. Kiki Vermont. She was my very good friend and one of the best drag queens I ever saw perform and she LOVED this song and watching her perform it was always a blessing and highlight for me. These guys did an amazing job! Thank you. She would have loved this.
Every time Ben sang the only thing I could think of was that interview with Andrew and Kara and Ben and they were talking about first impressions and how Andrew thought Ben was this huge Beyonce fanboy 🤣🤣🤣
Theskewbaldshowjumper H you’re so lucky! I wish I could go to see it. I saw a news report saying it’s coming to Britain soon though so imma save up and see it then
ben PERFECTLY knowing how much time he has to riff and staying in time with two other people is so impressive to me 🤚 he plays with stolen time so well and it’s such a specific skill to have
Ben looking around just hyping up the boys with the faces he makes and all, like he’s adorable, did anyone else see him bouncing like an excited kid cause he loves Beyoncé 💝💝
It doesn't matter how many times I've watched this I always feel like I need to get violent when Ben come in at the beginning because he's so smooth with it. Like my god can he get any better I'm already so in love with him
Amazing! Ben has literally the voice of a god! I hope one day I will get the opportunity to see him live. The other two guys were also unbelievable! I just loved it so much!
I have so many things to say about this video. 1. BENONCE!!!!! HOLY COW!!!! When he comes is with that AMAZING riff, my heart literally skipped a beat. He was rocking that all black outfit, and just rocking out in general. Also, his "bum bum ba bum"..... I liked it way more than I should. 2. The piano player deserves all the respect in the world. So good! 3. All three of the guys are so impressed and supportive of each other, and you can tell that they really are moved by the music, especially Ben and Russell in the first part. 4. HARMONIES!!!!! The 'bring the beat in', (anything for you benonce), all of the harmonies, and all of the key changes were just golden. I love this video so much!!!! One of my favorite things ever!!!!
i like the way the piano guy pours all his enthusiasm in to this performance with the singers. It is actually very thrilling to see people really enjoying performing
oh my! i just smiled all the way through this performance. such an amazing rendition. such perfect harmonies. i wish i could have been there to watch it live.
is nobody gonna talk about how good the pianist is like as a pianist, fhskdbksjsksksksjs
in conclusion
yes
He is playing too much
@@andrewei609 no ❤️
He sounds like he wants some attention..
@@andrewei609 he's just vibing lmao
André Weiß this performance is very casual so it’s clear he was just having fun and playing around
"Bring the beat in!" *running in with an actual beet* _ANYTHING FOR YOU, BENONCE_
punziebelle love me an,, extra ripe vine
(i was gonna say fresh vine but then i realized vine is dead r i p)
i was about to comment this-
YESSSSS!!! I was going to comment that but you beat me to it!! :)
@@sadielandesman2059 no. They BEET you to it.
@@EstelleLunei XD
I love how in the beginning they each look so impressed by each other. Like "Have you heard this guy?!" It's so cute.
Tyler Church Right. When Ben starts singing and the guy on the left literally puts his hand over his heart.
I love how Ben is literally a riff god but he always is so impressed by other people who can riff.
I knowwwwww 😭💖
Tyler Church ,.-
It's humans being the supportive people they should be :)
Okay but that little 'Oh shit' in the background when they first started singing was the most relatable thing
Omg the "bring the beat in" and the harmonies have me chills
Everybody asks me why I'm always smiling ear to ear.
It's cause Ben Fankhauser exists
OOooOOOOooooOOh life it perfect, life is worth it, when Ben Fankhauser exists
Legit! I love in the beginning when Russell and Corey were singing their first solos Ben's face was like 'how am i gonna compete with this?' and then he sang his part and was like 'BAM!' I smiled so big😊😊

Ik I replayed that part so many times 💀
that's also my favorite part.. and 2:10
both of these things you pointed out are A1
I love the extra piano player

AS SOON AS THE HARMONY STARTED IM 99% SURE MY HEAD EXPLODED
Why this doesn't have enough recognition? i have no idea. This has probably got to be one of the best covers of this song i've ever seen
i dont want to like but i totally agree (69 likes and i am incredibly immature)
one of the best covers of any song
Uhhh...it’s gonna be a no for me dawg.
I love their harmonisation, they compliment each other.
them : “bring the beat in.”
*running with a beet*
me: “ANYTHING FOR YOU BENONCÉ!”
Ben “Riff God” Fankhauser
gabrielle.s omg timmyyyyyyy
BENONCÉ!!!
riff god benoncé
He's the one on the left?
@@eightfigs3508 center
Why does ben fankhauser have so much energy look how pumped he is to be up there doing five key changes
Masters are only here to play. When you get good enough everything is a contest with yourself.
on a serious note...the guy with the brown leather jacket has some SERIOUS pipes..like dayyymn
destiny's third cousins
Lmao !!!!
LMAAAO
CACKLING !!!
HAHAAHAHAHA
i friggin ugly laughed at this omg
ben's stage presence is SO GOOD
I think I just actually drooled
My face hurts from smiling so much
Every time Ben sang the only thing I could think of was that interview with Andrew and Kara and Ben and they were talking about first impressions and how Andrew thought Ben was this huge Beyonce fanboy 🤣🤣🤣
That “Bring the beat in” was glorious.
And 5:28 is fabled tenor territory😅
like I'm so in love with Ben, but also THEIR HARMONIES
Why did i have to fall in love with Broadway and Broadway performers when i life too far to ever see them because even tours come no where near me.
Ikr?!? At least tours come up to Canada, but I here about like, Aaron Tveit at 54 below (cause he was there in June) and I'm dieing but what can I do?
Jesus. HEAR.
I live in England, I have no chance of seeing any of them unless I want to travel for 5 hours to see things on the West End in London
Sophia I also live in England but going to NYC just to go to watch dear Evan Hansen and go to 54 below 😂
Theskewbaldshowjumper H you’re so lucky! I wish I could go to see it. I saw a news report saying it’s coming to Britain soon though so imma save up and see it then
Ben is the cutest most amazing person on this planet.
No, he isn't. My bf is!
Rafael Storm your Ben Fankhauser?
SAm CHan Right
which one is ben?
which one is ben
And my love for Ben Fankhauser grows even more
Thank you gentlemen I'm here in 2023 and you all have me smiling out from ear to ear bravo bravo bravo
ben PERFECTLY knowing how much time he has to riff and staying in time with two other people is so impressive to me 🤚 he plays with stolen time so well and it’s such a specific skill to have
Ben looking around just hyping up the boys with the faces he makes and all, like he’s adorable, did anyone else see him bouncing like an excited kid cause he loves Beyoncé 💝💝
Ben being all in awe of the other two in the beginning and then his part starts and he's just like "I'm about to end these men's whole careers"
"Bring the beat in" gets me every time
its my ringtone
I love how the other two guys are kinda rocking along but Ben is going full Broadway and just grooving completely through the whole song
Yeah I noticed that. That's why he's the lead😘😘🤩🤩🤩
It doesn't matter how many times I've watched this I always feel like I need to get violent when Ben come in at the beginning because he's so smooth with it. Like my god can he get any better I'm already so in love with him
the ENERGY
GOSH EVERYONE ON THAT STAGE IS SO TALENTED
original Schuyler sisters
wERK
You right
Colby Banks id love to see the cover that

The piano player is living his best life 👏🏽🤣
I’ve played the “Bring the beat in” part so many times
Im the guy at 0:22 who just goes "oh shit" really quietly

Kate Yuen I'm %99.9 sure she just relates to him like "same"
@@kaiyuen7883 😂

I knew I'd love it 5 seconds in
I FORGOT THIS EXISTED! Made my day for real
That bring the beat in was ICONIC
4:48 that is the highest mic-stand in history

Michelle Pham BENONCÉ yessssssss thanks to Corey Cott for the iconic nickname
The energy radiating from Ben is lowkey overwhelming 😂
Amazing! Ben has literally the voice of a god! I hope one day I will get the opportunity to see him live. The other two guys were also unbelievable! I just loved it so much!
Okay everyone in this is aMaZiNg bUT. can we talk about Ben's stage presence my gOODness I'm in love

“WHATEVER YOU SAY BEN!”
i have watched this video at least twelve times a year ever since 2016. i wont stop watching this video. i love it so much.
Now I see why he got the nickname Benoncé 😂 Their joy is contagious, now I’m smiling from ear to ear 😁
Can we appreciate the piano man absolutely killing it in the back
The last modulation was everything! 😍 The harms was so intact and perfectly executed! Hands down to these gentlemen.
Ben got so INTO IT I LOVE HIM
Considering travelling from Scotland just to go to a show at 54 below.. Definitely worth it in my eyes!
SLAY BENONCÉ
You can see Ben physically stopping himself from fangirling out loud and that's the kind of content I wish to see more of: Ben fangirling
Beautiful men with even more beautiful voices:-) I have suddenly become a Ben Fankhauser fan. Just wonderful!!!
3:36, 5:26 THAT WAS AN F5 AND A E5, alright who are these men and why tf havent't heard of them?!
I legit got chills all over at the last key change😍😍
