This dude is one hell of a performer and has actually got a good scream
Stage presence and talent are mutually exclusive....
@evan tate- agree
punk rock song is better to his voice. 😁
Lol ya
From the person who sang Parmesan this is good
Never saw such energy of the audience on AGT, you've got to give him this
It was all planned out ahead of time
@@DanneyTanner stop watching then 👍
True....
@@DanneyTanner well duh if it wasnt planned out it wouldnt be as fun but the audience genuinely liked it lmao like obvi they had the hands before he did the rock thingy
@talentkingHD for the full performance. The crowd loves this guy !
This dude created a musical spectacle. His energy, stage presence and singing ability are all exceptional. He got an entire theater full of people head banging and rocking out to an original song about Parmesan. If anything this is the most talented person on AGT of all time. He moved on to the next round after getting 4 X’s. He got an entire audience to love him immediately. I’m just dumbfounded that Heidi was the only one who saw his talent
You think he's going to be Heidi's pick for the Finals Wild Card tomorrow? He def deserved to go through. By this point in the live shows he was the only one to get the crowd going.
@@mattc1456 Heidi would be the all time GOAT for that
EXACTLY! and I'm so confused, am I the only one who thinks his singing is also very good regardless? Like wow, what's even wrong with his performance, you judges!
I was in the audience when he did this, it was an event man!
I'm INCREDIBLY jealous right now! I'd give anything to had have been there that night!
Well in that case you're just as cheesey (parmesan that is) as Ben is...
So jealous!
You were?! aw man your so lucky
Did you have a foam finger!!! THROW EM UP!!!! 😄
Idk how someone could move an entire crowd to sing a song about Parmesan cheese and not get a golden buzzard that’s a true performer honestly a work of art
And here I am thinking buzzards were black
it isn't about Parmesan lol
it is a metaphor, and after his message they want him out.
Woooooooooosh! This one went straight over so many heads. 😂
@@travisvandermeer7436 Chill, I typed this a year ago and needless to say the message was received.
@@jaythe_alien All good brother. My message wasn't directed specifically at you but the plethora of other comments I was reading. 👍
Ben’s performance symbolizes the struggle to break away from society’s conformity. True artistry.
Nah
@@josevillanueva9705 Yep! We need to break away from big pharma. ;-)
Uhh I dont think its that deep
or it's about parmesan
@@mileskotaka8301 I love those songs about cheese
Regardless of what you think of the song, you have to admit that his stage presence and crowd participation definitely deserves commendation. I personally love and appreciate the light-hearted comedic performance that makes us laugh and feel good.
Heidi is a great judge. Always so positive and having a fun time. She "gets it".
Yeah except for the time she was the first one to give a red buzzer for lioz funny magician
I honestly think she doesn't necessarily get it but she still wants to be supportive.
I never seen an entertainer get the crowd as involved as he did.
I have.
Fr
@@SpyroTek True i feel like even if he doesn't move on to the finale. I think being able to do this to a crowd is a talent
im sorry but u have to check the ' let it go mixed with rock' guy
@@riadhzerkouk2540 whst is his name?
Heidi has become one of my favorite judges, sheerly because she actually listens to most of the comedic performances, while the other judges have no patience and buzz without any reason other than they don’t like the song.
He had that crowd going crazy that's probably the first time I've ever seen that happen like that and it's a catchy hook now when I see or eat parmesan I'll be thinking of the song
Play on words? Pharm?
@@Nira39 that has been my thought; it could be (or has become) a metaphor for the little guy being pushed around and being told what to do, esp. with big Pharma and everything coming out now about the realities of it all
@@ginadunlap6630When he says about Big Pharma who controls it, he points at judges 😂
I can’t be only one who has come back to watch this performance.😂😂 I love his energy.
I've watched both videos like 20 times 😂😂
@@ballmaster69 same bro same
I keep this video in my watch later list - it's awesome!
Heidi is the only judge that understands the essence of this song.
The message is deeper than literal Parmesan. I love it!!
@@Hibakateebwaqaa
They don’t all understand because they’re rich and don’t have to pay attention to government policies lol
I can't make out the words.???
screaming your lungs out doesn't make it a song
I usually don't like heavy metal, but his message is so true and inspiring, still can't understand why the three judges can't get it. They should have listened to the feeling of the people, not only their personal taste.
Heavy metal???
I don’t think you’ve ever heard heavy metal before
I know the other people are probably his friends but I like to think he grabbed random people off the street and was like “hey you like parmesan?”
@@brianamojica1569 clearly didn't like Parmesan!
This is not heavy metal. This is like a pop song
These last few years Heidi has had a lovely attitude with all the acts. She seems to be the only one who genuinely enjoys the "less serious" acts. I adore her.
you mean she's the only one who has actual humor. which is a sign of intellect and wit. yeah exactly she just acts dumb to get all the fame.
the other judges didn't get it , this man just broke the circle , he did something different , instead of singing about his problems to get their emotions , or singing a romantic love songs , he came up with something original , what he did is pure natural talent
The judges are just stunned in shock, and the crowd absolutely loves it.
I mean, he's not going to win but he needs to be allowed to come back for the season final and perform that sing as a duet with Weird Al Yankovic. Come on AGT make it happen.
What about AGT the Champions? if they provide it?
He got 4 x’s
@@crossoverbunchshow8793 But the crowd loved him both times!
Lmao right!!!
It's up to the people you have to vote
Out of the box stuff, never boring, get that crowd rocking and having FUN! This guy knows how to work a crowd. Honestly, fantastic to see something different than the usual PREDICTABLE acts. I LOVE THIS guy and his creativity! Cheers from East Canada! What a BLAST!
Mega-Star, he controls the audience like nobody else in the entire history of the show. Heidi gets it!
Ben is like the underdog story. He must continue to defy the odds and move on his message needs to be heard
How can his message be heard if both this channel and Terry Crews cut off what he had to say after the performance?
@@mr.bmoney369 Yup yup
@@theanimator1029 the performance was great and I think this is very helpful!!!
@@mr.bmoney369 what did he say? I didn’t hear it when I watched it live
@@sumaiag2805 My guess it was alot of cheese 🧀
Now I can finally say that I want more parmesan and I am not embarrassed
I'm really proud to say that Ben is a legend where I live. I live where he grew up and this was a big achievement for all of us. I go to his school, and we have been singing Parmesan for the last 4 months since he competed. We are singing an epic choir version of his song tomorrow night at our concert and I just feel so proud to say that Ben comes from where I live.
Amazing, I can’t stop singing this song. I’m curious max is he Italian?? He looks like Italian
@@rainacherienne1010i think Lapidus is a Jewish last name but idk I only knew one Lapidus and he was Jewish
But ethnically it’s really hard to distinguish Jewish vs Sicilian and southern Italian. For example I’m Sicilian an Sephardic Jewish and it’s hard to tell on GEDmatch which is which
@rainacherienne1010 lol what. Most Jewish looking guy I've ever seen
I love him and his Parmesan song in all its renditions! This boy set the room on fire!
I love Heidi! I feel like compared to the others, she just wants to have fun and that's why she's always so positive!
I respect her for this, but I will never forget her her "sense of humor" with Lioz Shem Tov's audition
@@zinderVEVO Dustin dojo too
You do understand these X presses of the other 3 judges were scripted, right?
It was part of the act
I think you just have a crush on Heidi. I think she's single?
im not gonna lie i actually replayed this song at least 15x now lol the music and singing at the end was actually really good.
Same here
Same! Can’t stop playing this, may be my fav song ever
How do the judges not get that it's comedy and its pure genius? This is like Weird Al Yankovic
Found this guy today and love him. He made a cover of his own song for the next stage of AGT haha 😂😂😂😂 want next next next
I like that hardcore doesn't necessarily have to mean hardcore lyrics. The Big Parma lyric won me over.
I mean that gritty scream though..... that's rather surprising and actually very good. I love him even more now. Ballsy, witty, good at guitar and actually quite good metal vocals. The rock world needs you my friend. We have country, and rappers in the revolution scene, now we need some metal revolution groups.
He is WAY too good to not have history in an early aughts NYC anarcho-punk band, apparently he’s from Brooklyn too, but I couldn’t find what band he was in. He has to have that experience because the sound is so perfectly authentic. The sound, the screams, every was SO perfectly well done and authentic that I was literally squealing with delight that this dude, through a joke, got a taste of this super underground sound on mainstream television. That’s incredible, like have you ever even seen punk properly referenced on a show like this? No, it’s always watered down, pop-ified, controlled for the masses. I’m legit giddy that he went so all out with this, all for the culture!!!
Hell yeah dude, so cool.
@@LoryBelle yeah for sure..... other countries like Romania and Germany metal is just as mainstream and I just want for one day that America accepts it in all it's glory. I feel bad that so many metal artists and bands are mocked on stage here. Just sad. I remember my mother telling me at 12yrs old it was just a fad
....... no ma'am.... sorry mom it's just part of us for forever. Honestly I think rockers and metalheads are the most loyal to the genre. Pop, rap, country..... it all changes, artists come and go, but most of our alternative and metal bands still put out new stuff and tour on the road.
stay tuned next week for Harper, she's only 10 but she's totally the future of metal... she be on the agt live show next week... you gotta vote for her
My wife and I were visiting my mom and she watching agt. An this dude came out with an acoustic guitar and I was like oh know not another ed Sheeran . Then he broke in to a pop punk/ metalcore song about parmesan cheese 🧀. And his scream was legit an it feel organic. And the crowd was loving it !! Think there tired of the same ol mainstream garbage they are programmed to like. Force fed crap like Billie Elish and ppl with ridiculous names. And say hey this is music you must bow down and conform. Metal is still alive !! God bless 🙏
@@grind4christ777 there is no god
This is genius! Amazing having 3 judges being disappointed, yet the whole crowd having the time of their life!
I CANNOT believe that Heidi's the only judge that actually appreciates a comedy act. True character development. Also this is one of the most based performances I've ever seen on this show
He not funny or can sing
@@rachelwalsh6116 Loser lmao
I love how Heidi loves him
He got past judge cuts so the judges must love him.
They just don't want big Parma to figure it out.
😂😂😂
There were no cuts this time.
@@uzairdashtyari7802 Except the video didn't show his response to Terry in the end that the American people aren't stupid, that they see that big pharma has infiltrated the govt and the media.
@@uzairdashtyari7802 Yes the judges cut from 138 to 55
@@sfrobink yeah these semi final videos are cut to short, they are only showing performances not the comments and after math of the performances. The cuts which I was referring to were judge cuts. In past before reaching to semi's or quarters there used to be Judge cuts.
The crowd is dancing and singing just like they would be on a concert!!
Heidi understands what the crowd sees and hears. We want more Parmesan Cheese please!!! 🤙🏻💯
Bro is an American hero. He’s displaying everything that’s wrong with the government and it’s flying right over the judges heads. I’m naming my kids after him
I think it has for Heidi, but the others know for sure. I don't think they got it the first time around though haha.
So... If you have three girls their name be Ben 1,2 and three.
@@timxiong5645 thats what i'm thinking😅😅😅
i think you're reading a little more into it than he intended, he's singing about big parma and cheese... alex jones called he wants his conspiracy theories back
Totally staged by the production team
I really respect Heidi Klum for understanding his talent 👏
What talent as he can't sing and it stupid
Judges "I hate this guy" Heidi + the whole world. I WANT MORE PARMESAN.
He’s very talented and has great stage presence. That awkward pause segment was timed perfectly
4 x's again, yet the crowd is still on his side while chanting Parmesan, what a legend
**3 X's my bad
3??
Heidi didn't buzz, though.
Yeah u right, after the performance. Simon pressed Heidi's buzzer
Sofia estaba muy creida
Song is legendary
the crowd was going INSANE! thisguy deserves a spot in the finals 100%!!!
No
@@rachelwalsh6116 yass
@@solikethatscool he can't sing and others are better then him
At least top 10
Heidi makes his act 100x funnier 🤣🤣
He sure knows how to captivate a crowd and that takes guts and as far as his voice is concerned it's pretty darn good and his performance as well received.
This is the best parody song ever made. I really thought he was gonna quit mid performance but there was a surprise! This guy is a genius comedian that most of the judges don't understand.
Yay!! So glad to see him again! Glad he made it to the live shows.
😂
This guy's gonna win AGT just by trolling the judges 🤣
He is the definition of stage presence
Bruhhh someone has to make this guy go more viral, he is like a 90/2000s mix of hardcore and soft core rock star singer 100, this was a hell of a performance, he can expand with other songs and personalities
He knows exactly what he’s doing 😂 AMAZING
I literally love this guy.
I never usually vote for people on AGT, but I sure had to vote for him!
😭😭 I caught the performance too late!! Praying he makes it through. I never pay attention to this show. But 💯 I would tune in just to vote for him!!
There's literally 0 talent here....
@@greeksurferdude aw you’re deaf? 😥
@greeksurfer. Then step up to the plate.
@@CoolestCrystal He's literally screaming into the microphone, everyone can hear him. And everyone can scream = zero talent.
Definitely the most under rated act of this season.
Heidi: thank you SO MUCH or not buzzing Ben!!! BEN U RAWK!!!! Best song ever on AGT!!!
Best performance, hands down. Dude just brought 90s rock back all by himself
I was thinking the same thing. Even the slow song he sang in the beginning, reminded me of an '90s alternative song.
If you can tolerate the lisping.
If he did a dozen renditions of this I would still be entertained 😂
Right on BEN! Get that audience loving you with all your energy and creativity. LOVED it! It topped your first performance...I never saw this one coming...you are so funny and bravo for doing what you LOVE! Cheers from East Canada.
That was actually beautiful 🥹
Wow, I've never felt so emotional about parmesan, incredible! Give this guy a golden buzzer!
Meth.??
You need a sob story if you want a golden buzzer
@@jocelyn9058 You need to lighten up, Sappy.
@@jocelyn9058 This guy has a sob story, his sob story is about parmesan!
@@DanneyTanner My last name is Meth, I had absolutely no say in the matter!
This man started a movement
And I am here for it
This was very CHEEZY!! He is definitely an OveraCheeser!
An overall tasty performance especially after he shredded.
If he doesn’t win, we riot
Ah yes, the Parmesan Cheese song. Never gets old. I love Heidi's energy for it LMAO
Simon's facial expression is priceless "What is going on???" 🤣
This is my favorite act I actually forgot he was the cheese guy in the beginning lol
The audience loves him
He could easily win this If he wanted. Absolutely talented
No he not
I’d vote for him to win AGT
He had me and my family and I practically dying on the floor 💀😭🤣
I really don’t think he’s a bad metal singer, a better singer than the young girl metal singer they have on this season
I always want more of the parmesan song, and I'm not embarrassed.
That was absolutely epic! The level of connection this guy has to parmesan is insane!
our comment made me LOl.. for real
@@sabba8609 Okay.
I can not get this freaking song out of my head... just plays over and over and over...
I love how Heidi is having fun
THE MESSAGE HAS BEEN DELIVERED!!!
I've never seen a better performance.... This guy is the best.... So confident.... I love him....
Oh come on! This guy is epic! I loved his new take on it. Usually I'm not for repeat performances, but this version is great!
I don't say that this is his goal, but what I'm taking away from this song (or these songs) of his is that it shouldn't matter what you sing sometimes, it's the passion, the delivery and the skill that makes a performance great.
Yep but also he’ll really serious and emotional about never getting enough cheese in the first place. I get it, they always give me a small amount of sauce, I ask for more and they give me another small amount, which is still not enough but I feel bad for asking for the third time so I say it’s fine but it’s building inside of me.
You just described rap music as a whole the last couple years 😂
top notch performer...I love this guy! Gets the beat and the crowd going!!! They LOVE him....stuff that is OUT of the BOX.....never boring! LOVE IT! Yupeeeee.....Canada loves this guy!
Forget the red buzzer, Simon was enjoying every minute of it. Did you see his face?
He was enjoying it. He’s just silent here because he doesn’t want to admit it.
This man is a legend
He’s a whole mood 😂😂😂😂😂
Loved this! The serious start. The stunning stop - then the absolutely amazing restart!!!
No matter how many Xs he got, he had the crowd. They were going crazy!!
This was fire 🔥🔥
Don't know what the judges are having in their drinks but am up for a glass of this.... Rock on Ben!!!
It's scripted bro.. can't you see the 3 X presses were on purpose and Heidi letting it slide? They really put in a lot of effort to get this act going, it was part of the act
I’ve never seen the crowd this loud ever, Parmesan is truly a masterpiece
It's even more festive than New Year's Eve celebrations lol😂
Gotta vote for parmesan cheese man. I love how he started off like it was a real song.
I loved his enthusiasm. The ending was epic \"/
I LOVE HEIDI, SHE'S ENJOYING THE MOMENT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this guy so much turned the show into a rock concert 😹 and the transition 👌
Thanks to Heidi
It wasn't until I saw this performance that I realized how special parmesan cheese is
Loved the energy
Greatest song ever lived like... American Pie. So epic....... he should be in SNL with a duet with Adam Sandler!
He’s not black or gay. Not snl material. Lol jk
@@peskylogicchillinsky6007Futube So Chevy Chase Dan Aykroyd John Belushi Garrett Morris Bill Murray Chris Farley Chris Rock Adam Sandler Dana Carvey and etc, who are/were either married to women or dating, or dated women, are or were all gay?

YOU'RE GAY!! STAY OFF BLACK PEOPLES 🍆!!!! DAMN!! YOU stay on black woman's and dudes 🍆
Yessss to SNL
That's what I thought during his performance! Lunch Lady Land! 🍱
yes!!!
We knew that parmesan guy was funny, but he took this to another level. He went from "emotional song" to Bareskin!!! He is so funny and talented. I wasn't to sure about him at first, but I now love him!! What will this guy do next????
The screams are f-king epic 🤟🏼
The Best performance in AGT history, beautiful
This guy is giving a hidden message
Great
I have watched again and again
Yep. When Terry asked Ben if he had anything more he wanted to say, he said something like "the American people are not stupid, they can see that big pharma has infiltrated the govt and the media." I was wondering the first time we heard him sing We will not let Big Parma win...
This dude will be the next Weird Al, just amazing... And loving the metal tune.
Best song ever.we won't be embarrassed anymore ✊
That's the best performance of the day, the performance that involves the crowd is of rare kind
