    I can't even handle this performance. I don't know how many times I've listened to it, but it's a lot. This is a textbook example of vocal technique and phrasing. Perfection. And for a kid, he has a solid handle on dynamics and when/how to back off and when to just let it loose. Flawlessness. Every once in awhile, it'll just start playing in my head, and I'll have to go find the video and play it a bunch of times.

      +Kari2025 TWICE...heh heh heh heh....Try 100 times better than Bieber. Bieber can't sing unless he's auto tuned. He's has no extraordinary singing talent whatsoever...The kid who lives next door to me can blow Bieber away....I suppose that is why he hasn't come out with an album in over 2 1/2 years. There is nothing about Bieber that should make him the Superstar that he is. His dancing is mediocre, and his singing is underwhelming. TMZ is the only thing keeping him in the media these days. With his hoodlum activity. Now he's 'trying" to be a good boy. Hmmm, let's see how long that lasts. Anyway, enough of Bieber, I have already spoken far too much about him.....Billy Gilman sang this song so beautifully, only wish he had sang the entire song, left out (2nd verse "Ben you're always running here and there" etc...) I wish he had sung that portion, mainly because I wanted the song to go on longer....A beautiful voice for such a young kid...If I have my math and info correct, Billy was 13 when he sang this. And did a perfect rendition. This song is best with a child like voice such as Michael's original, and Billy's version. Michael's voice is difficult to replicate...There is something so sweet and genuine in his voice. Although Billy did a fantastic job, you don't hear many adults singing this, because it does not matter how well it's sung, a requires child like demeanor that gives this song true life and emotion, without obnoxious runs and so forth that adults tend to put into a song...The bottom line is, this is a fantastic rendition sung by a very talented boy (at the time).....Now he's all grown up, now a 27 year old man... :)

    This performance was the first one I saw of him, it blew my mind how perfect and similar to Michale's his voice was. Then I bought all his then existing music, I've followed him and kept all his music in my ipod ever since and though he wasn't completely vanished (he kept releasing independent singles and uploading gig videos in his youtube channel) I had no idea he was auditioning for the voice (big fan of the show as well) it was a total surprise when I saw him there and while listening to him I couldn't help but cry, I got super emotional to see him perform live for such a big audience again with the humbleness, emotion and will to begin climbing from scratch right to the top once again. Incredible how easy a lot of people forgot about him but so happy to see so many people are discovering his great talent thanks to his appearance on the show, he's building a whole new fan base and making us, all time fans, super proud and happy.

    So many people here with poor taste. Don't watch if you don't like. Is this a new social illness to watch stuff you dont like and demean those who are peaceful and cant fight back with you? Billy Gilman is a beautiful caring selfless soul. He sings for children in hospitals and is just a beautiful person. Don't hate him just cause hes cool enough to have any girl he wants,but be brave enough to be himself. Who cares who we date,love,look out for. we are all living loving creatures. The only difference I see here is People like Billy trying to spread humanity and care for one another,for all causes and others who look to just put down him, and others with ignorance,hatred,and poor class.

    The song Ben gets me crying everytime I hear it, this version is no different. Just beautiful ❤️

    I've always been a HUGE MJ fan and I am so impressed with the way Billy Gilman performed "Ben!" Billy sang this song with such beautiful emotion and expression! And Billy's vocal tone is stellar and angelic! He has such control of his voice and yet it sounds so free. Especially 1:19 where he sings "Listen" and then really goes for it with such power and passion! Wow! He is amazing! I love how we can see how much MJ and Elizabeth Taylor and the audience appreciated and applauded Billy's performance! I have this as track #1 on a compilation CD with Michael's version as track #2 and I love them both! :-)

    He did kill it. Actually, when I listen to this without watching the video, it's hard to not think it's a young Michael Jackson singing this. He sounds almost exactly the same.
    I wonder if he could do an adult version of Michael, now. Michael's adult voice was pretty unique, so probably not. But it would be interesting to see him try it now.

    After he sang the part about "I don't listen to anything they say," when he starts the next verse, there is a loud noise - I'm kinda hard of hearing, but, wondering if that's the audience going crazy with how he sings it - I loved it!!!
