Actually no one uses autotune in this
he sounds exactly like the studio version, he’s so talented!!
no auto tune
katie f because he has never used auto tune
katie f maybe cause he doesn’t use auto tune like singers do nowadays
@@antwontheeth3015 teaaa☕☕☕☕lol😂
Some people are studio and stage singers some are just studio singers and don't sound same on stage lol but this guy got it all 🙃
He is a smart songwriter
He uses smart phrases bearing in mind that it has to rhyme
O K I know right
And in them he tells such deep stories which amazing not many artists can make stories in songs
“Yo, if you’re gonna leave, be cool about it, please.”
“Cause I’m fragile.”

SkinnyErectus Alec is amazing. And that’s what makes him unique
ummmm corbyn besson?
Limelight Forever YESSS
SkinnyErectus Has is that a bad thing?
Lime lightsssss!!!!
Me: trying to overcome my broken relationship
Alec: “I think in some way you’ll never stop caring about this person”
Oof
Yeah... He is right. But isn't that with everyone we care about? It never gets easier.
It's weird because we use the exact same neural pathways to bond with partners that bond us with caregivers in early life. That's why there's so much fear and pain when those relationships end. Our brain is back in a time when we needed that love to quite literally survive. We feel like a little kid again and the people we really fall for become our safety. Our guides, the "light of our lives". To us it genuinely feels like we'll die without them.
@@daylightbright7675 Sad yet so very true - well said Megs

Really want to know the meaning behind “death of a hero” rn
Who doesn't
We all do
Didn't you watch him say in the Zach Sang show interview? It's about someone he looked up to doing drugs and things he didn't like. He also said that he saw a book or something titled "death of a..." so he asked himself "what.. do I know that died?"
He's talking about himself in the song.
Im pretty sure its about someone he looked up to that fell to drugs n stuff like that
Puberty was literally the nicest to him, I’m jealous 😂

You damn luckyy!!😆☺️👍
“when i do go on dates sometimes” my heartttttt is yelling relatable
Some people really dont need even a little bit of autotune
Exactly like Alec Benjamin
Autotune: **exists**
Alec Benjamin: _...Can you you not?_
He honestly reminded me of Billie when he said:
"yow if you're gonna leave, just like...be cool about it...please"
The Chainsmokers:Don't let me down
AlecBenjamin:Let Me down slowly
Let me down down 2x~dont let don't 3x
new hope club - let me down slow
liam payne - slow
those are also similar lyrics
Don’t compare our baby to that trash
if we go down then we go down together
And only one of them can sing btw
he needs to sing with billie.
nothing else needs to be said. just that.
I have and I have an idea of a song title: Broken.
@@daqueenaannastal2202 wow, original
Jesus, we all go through the edgy faze
Beautiful.
With Billie and Conan
Alec is my favourite singer now and will always be ✨. The reasons are
1)He is a humble and a hard working person.
2)His voice is innocent.
3)His music is great, pleasant to hear and always with different good messages for the audience around the world.
4) Unlike other singers he doesn't chase for fame and money.
5) He's clean with no piercing and tattoos.
6)He is underated, he deserves more love and support.
No one:
Alec: *casually brings a guitar to a genius interview*
i’ve been here since the beginning & this all feels so surreal.. i’m so proud
imcalledken IKR
imcalledken when he gets big we all can say we have been around since the beginning
✋
OKAY CAN I BE CALLED A MID BEGINNER PLEASE I ONLY FOUND HIM 2 MONTHS (I also don’t know why I’m screaming)
my underrated baby
I know he has a lot of views in some songs but he still is underappreciated. He should be globally famous. He voice is so damn good.
The ultimate collab: billie eilish, alec benjamin, conan gray and cavetown 🤯
_yes_
y e s
Yhes
Autotune who?
irrelevant
autotune has left the chat
CAN'T RELATE
*Autotune has left the chat*
I don’t where is she
Yo did he just wink? 2:34
thank you for telling me I didn't notice it!!
*congunctiveituse*
It doesn't feel like he wanted to do it
I think it was a twitch x
This made me giggle a little
alec benjamin, billie eilish and conan gray are the only people that can actually sing
edit : on genius i mean lol
Freda Cory yessss
Not the only ones
@@lolaa.8161 the only ones on genius, they mean
@@grishag What about Charlie Puth and Alessia Cara?
Yes, because Brendon Urie no longer exists
ALEC, CONAN, & BILLIE NEED TO COLLAB ASAPPPPP😭😍😍😍
Him and Conan would be be good tho
He will BLOWS UP ASF in the middle of 2019. Prove me
I really hope he does. LMDS played on radio 1 and I was HYPED. But it was the one with alyssa(I think) and then I was like... oh
Isobella Piacentini I like the original (without alessia) :/
I think he did . It's July now
he hasn't BLOWN UP yettt but he's getting closeeeee (((:
Wrong
I love that he had a guitar and sung the lyrics
Him and billie need to *collab* 😌😌💙🖤
IKR!!!

He's amazing,... When I first heard him I thought he was 15
FINALLY GETTING SOME WELL DESERVED RECOGNITION
Hi random person scrolling through the comments...your an amazing and beautiful human being and don't ever forget that ..you have a purpose but only 1 life to do that purpose so don't take it for granted
Aw xx thank you
Same to you. Thank you :')
*you're
👆 This is why no one wants to date me 😂 😂 😂
Your such a nice person!! Thank you, u made my day!!
You are an amazing person too! 😊
"If your gonna leave, just be cool about it, please cause I'm fragile" honestly me to
Literally, there’s no other singer I love more to listen to than Alec. Like it’s insane. I love his music and his thought process and everything. I have yet to find a singer that matches him
I thought it was a female singer when I first heard it on the radio, but now I'm finally matching the face to the voice and it all makes sense 😭😂
What the hell do you mean like that!!!!!
RayRay And Angie well he does have a high voice that kinda sounds like a girl sometimes. Doesnt mean its a bad thing
@@sketchy_character that wasn't us who said that
@@sketchy_character nevermind sry
OMG SAMEEE i thought i was the only one 😂
He's so flipping adorable
Auto tune: I can make any one sound good
Alec: hold my beer
As a man who has seen more relationships come and fade than sunrises and sunsets in my life I can truly say your songs just hit a chord in my heart that I can’t really describe or express I just feel it
ALEEEEEEEEC!
Yes! Finally!
i bet no one even knows paper crown
Catherine Elizabeth that’s such a good song oml
I do
I love paper crown
I love it
paper crown is my favorite song of him & i listen to it like always
2:06 I can’t stop replaying this
I love this song so much cause it's spot on with the feels and the meaning 😭
He looks and sounds like Alec Benjamin
@@lunchable4u r/wooosh
o shit u right
Holy shit thanks for pointing that out. HOLY FREAKING SHIT
WHOAAAA
You think?
Yes finally he’s amazing
You can tell he's such a deep, sweet, genuine soul❤
i remember "i built a friend" man, and now he's huge
Plz do one on NF
Facts
OMG YESSS YESSSSS
FalseEZES underrated comment
YESSSSS
Oooh yes
He so cute💫😩
Kris Unknown mad pause lmao
C1OUT COBAIN no pause
Kris knows what’s up
Anonymous Artist he is cute he seems hella adorable and sweet😍🙌🏽
That part where he said, “when someone just leaves you like that, and they cut you off, no explanation, it can really drive a person crazy”.......that is me right now😔
Him talking and singing....
The voice difference is astronomical!!
UGHHH I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS GUY RECENTLY. MORE BY HIM!!!
aww i’m so happy he’s finally getting noticed. he truly deserves this ♡ ♡
I have NEVER fangirled someone this Hard
I’ve become obsessed with him lately! He’s the only thing I listen to anymore!!
that my favorite friend zone song
HE IS A LITERAL MIX OF TOM HOLLAND AND JOSH HUTCHERSON
Can we take a second to talk about how this is literally one of, if not the best genius videos where an artist shows they’re really about their shit when I comes to being a musician ☺️😩
OOOO THAT'S MY BOY ❤
OMG I SCREAMED ALECCCCC!!!!!!!
Charlie Puth who
Don’t come for me
i mean they took the same style differently. i like both the same because they’re so same yet so different
I guess we can compare him to owl city
This is the first time youtube recommendation algorithm has given me a good content
Finally he's getting known he deserves it more than ( people in Ariana Grandes genre)
don’t try degrade other people’s achievements just to make alec seem better that’s not helping anyone x
Ariana’s genre is...pop? Meaning popular? There’s a reason they’re popular. Don’t degrade others to make him seem better even though he deserves more recognition.
Facts
A humble person wouldnt say this, they are both good and Ariana deserves the attention she has
Maria no one said that she doesn’t deserve the attention she has. Maybe she does. But Alec may deserve it more🤷🏻♀️ and a humble person would appreciate that people can have opinions
