same thing as that post about guys only named Ron who are sidekicks to intelligent girls who have a pet rat; the requirements are specific and there are a few special people out there who meet the requirements. so far i've got 1. be named ben 2. be on broadway 3. sing like an angel
I LOVE how this video still moves people 3 years later!! I was so pregnant( 9 months) and I honestly just wanted to get through my verse so everyone can experience the amazing talent that is Ben!!! His voice is beyond perfect and I just needed a memory of that! He's a true R and B singer!!! He riffs and feels music like no other! I miss him! Thanks All!!!
IM PHYSICALLY NOT OKY AFTER THIS. IM CRYING AND SHAKING AND LIKE MY WORLD HAS FALLEN INTO PLACE. BLESS YOU FOR THIS AND BLESS GOD FOR BENS TALENT AND BLESS LIKE THE WORLD FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN.
I could hear them from the beginning. Like it's quieter than LaVon and Ben but it's there in the background. LaVon and Ben were singing backstage at the same time Kara and Jeremy were singing onstage.
I think my favorite part about this video is how this was during an actual performance night and how ben excused himself from the room when he realized he had to be out there ASAP. (wish you could stay in the green room @ my school and sing along with whatever song was going onstage; its too close to the stage)
Omg. As a voice and music theater educator, this video absolutely made me bawl. I loved every second of the over the top riffs. There's no way possible that I could sit still hearing you two...I'd be on the ceiling screaming YES!!!!! This is simply the way it's done. And I am tough on my students, demanding perfection and their best, always. You both have THE gift. I mean it. Never stop sharing it with us. We'll all be better for it. 🤗
Ok, but when Ben goes "I gotta go on stage" and runs out like boi, why can't we all be that prepared
I remember one time I missed my cue because I was singing a gay Seventeen cover with my friend and thank god I was just background in that scene.
@@carsonpolipenguin1142 same I missed my cue for so long the band just started playing the theme of the musical waiting for me to come on lol
ME AND LAVON HAVE THE SAME REACTION WHENEVER BEN FANKHAUSER SINGS
same
same😂😂
Oh my gosh same
K Corona SAME
There hasn't been a comment that I've related to more
If this song was in the movie, these two would sing the R&B version that would play over the end credits
AlwaysGonnaSing ACCURATE
YEEES
Okay when I direct the movie adaption of the musical in 15 years, this statement is noted 😂
Agreed love this video amazing
@@miyannapittman5580 This is a promise, Miyanna. We trust in you
HOLY RIFFS BENJAMIN CHARLES FANKHAUSER
NeverlandAddict is that his full name lol
Yes "Holy Riffs Benjamin Charles Fankhauser" is his full name. Lol.
But in all seriousness, his middle name really is Charles.
Bejamin Charles fankhauser is his full name well you learn something every day
i love his little panic-'ive got to get on stage'
Juliette Doyle he even exits with sass just throws out a couple riffs LIKE ITS NOTHING and then igottagobye
LaVon is LITTERALLY me watching Ben
Abigail Philpott yup, pretty much sums up my life.
same
How does Ben sound like he's auto tuned all the time when he's singing live. Like he's just that perfect.
No auto tune sounds as good as Ben and I’d put good money on that
what is it with Broadway guys named Ben and riffing
same thing as that post about guys only named Ron who are sidekicks to intelligent girls who have a pet rat; the requirements are specific and there are a few special people out there who meet the requirements. so far i've got
1. be named ben
2. be on broadway
3. sing like an angel
A Beyoncé obsession😌
I ask myself that all the time
Ben platt😂😂
Damn....Those runs.
"I'm gonna cry" SAME LAVON EXACTLY THE SAME ben fankhauser has the voice of an angel omg
I LOVE how this video still moves people 3 years later!! I was so pregnant( 9 months) and I honestly just wanted to get through my verse so everyone can experience the amazing talent that is Ben!!! His voice is beyond perfect and I just needed a memory of that! He's a true R and B singer!!! He riffs and feels music like no other! I miss him! Thanks All!!!
Lavon Fisher-Wilson it's just perfect
I AGREE BEN IS AMAZING BUT QUEEN YOUR RIFFS IN THIS GAVE ME CHILLS TOO :,)
Olivia Simms I was just hearing this song on Spotify when I saw your comment 😂😂😂
fangirl 300 oml 😂😂
This video was so cool, great job!
In which Lavon is me, I am Lavon, we are one
This sounds like it would be the pop version of the song that plays during the end credits of 90s Disney movies.
Always knew I'd get out riffed by Ben! Enjoyed every minute of it!!! Miss him!!
The riff King has entered the building
It isn't even fair how amazing his voice is and how easily he can do those riffs.
Lavon at @1:21 "SAAANG" lol Same!! Ugh that boy is just too good.
Lavon slapping her hand on the table is such a mood 😭😂
IM PHYSICALLY NOT OKY AFTER THIS. IM CRYING AND SHAKING AND LIKE MY WORLD HAS FALLEN INTO PLACE. BLESS YOU FOR THIS AND BLESS GOD FOR BENS TALENT AND BLESS LIKE THE WORLD FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN.
I love that LaVon still sings even though Ben ditches her at the end!
I GOT TO GET ON STAGE! Oh Ben great job
i screamed "RIFF" when i saw the title
In the middle of the song... "I got to go on stage" Oh my god Ben😂😂
And in that moment I swear we were all Lavon!
LaVons reactions to Ben were the best part
I want Ben Fankhauser in my life
Lavon reacting the way she is, like smacking the table, is the biggest and funniest mood I have ever seen
Same, LaVon, same.
no i literally did the exact same thing as you, banging the table and all
ME TOO
so we’re not gonna talk about how good lavon was ?? okay i see how it is .
are we not gonna talk about her ending note!
LAVON IS THE FANDOM 😂
1:17 same
Who. Could. Possibly. Dislike. This?.?.?
they didnt have anything to believe in
jordan pennell lol
The Delaney brothers
Oh amazing
0:53 HOLY RIFFS BATMAN!!!!
1:23 oh my god Ben
TBH I'm Lavon through this whole thing
anyone else listening to Ben's riffing and be like: PREACH IT SISTAH PREACH IT!!!
Meghan Robertshaw omg love your profile picture were did u find that pic
Commytole Toloo either on Pinterest or I just typed in "Newsies Fan Art" on Google images 😅
Meghan Robertshaw oh kl thx
Commytole Toloo you're very welcome!😅
Everyone’s talking about Ben, BUT LAVON’S RANGE AND VOICE IS UNMATCHED! Her head voice and her mix is literally the definition of perfect!!!!!!!
I love that you can hear them actually singing it on stage.
What you can? When?
I could hear them from the beginning. Like it's quieter than LaVon and Ben but it's there in the background. LaVon and Ben were singing backstage at the same time Kara and Jeremy were singing onstage.
@@TonyStark-zz6rr they have a speaker in all the dressing rooms so the actors know what’s happening on stage so they won’t miss their cues
My reaction was exactly like Lavon's
This video still gives me chills 9 years later. They are both so talented and newsies is my favorite musical.
RIFF KING!! I love lavons reactions to Ben!
2:30 goodbye world and all who inhabit it cause I'm dead
Katie Girot me too
I cried
When you sing over your other friends in the cast
"Hope you don't mind we just stole ur song"
I just love the fact that LaVon is just jamming out by herself at the end😂
Same LaVon, same girl
Ben is perfect as Davey! But I would sell my soul to see him to do a run of Jack, just once!
Share the video with us, lady (can't sell my soul to tip in, sorry)
Sing it LaVon! Riff it Ben!
i wanna see Ben play Jack someday but i think he is the best Davey❤❤
i keep rewinding to 1:17! God Ben is just incredible!
rip me im dead and benjamin charles fankhauser killed me
Madison P. me after hearing him sing: 🎶EVERYTHING THAT KILLS ME MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE🎶
its been 5 years and this is still the best thing thats ever happened to musical theater
lavon is me listening to ben honestly
her reactions to his riffs are ME
Benonce
the true queen
This hurt.....
*cause of how hard I laughed*
I didn't like this song, and then I heard this. This. This made me cry happy tears. For like 10 minutes...
no shame
Same, lady, same
WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SING THAT PERFECTLY BEN YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE ME THAT MANY FEELS
I think my favorite part about this video is how this was during an actual performance night and how ben excused himself from the room when he realized he had to be out there ASAP. (wish you could stay in the green room @ my school and sing along with whatever song was going onstage; its too close to the stage)
1:42 I love how you can hear the smile in his voice when he sings "Now that I know you believed in me"
*please tell me I’m not the only one still listening to this in 2021*
I've just found it out and I'm so gonna get adicted to it the next few months
The raw talent these two have omg
i need this professionally recorded
Name a better Riff master.. than Ben I'll wait... Ben should have a riff of with Ben Platt that would be glorious
More like a riff on - both are riff kings in their very own ways
I love that she can't contain her excitement
The riffs have me in tears they are so amazing holy crap
THIS VIDEO IS UNDERAPPRECIATED
i love how ben will never stop doing beyoncé riffs no matter the song 😂
how can so much talent be packed into one video
This video is a weekly traditional for me.
every once and a while i just have to come back to this video
Why is nobody talking about Ben at 1:40 because wow
LOVE YOU LAVON!!!!!!!!!! MOST UNDERRATED CAST MEMBER IN NEWSIES
theatre kid And you are now my favorite! Thank you soooooo much for that compliment!!!
The amount of serotonin this video gives me is immeasurable
i swear this changed my life
All I want to know is how the person filming this didn't either: Crack up laughing/cried/ or sang with them.
Tori Eriavez that’s because it was sitting on a chair I think. Lol
@@lavonfisherwilson How did the chair not cry then?
THIS MAN CAN SING
HE CAN
I'm shook, play this at my funeral... thank you so much
I watch this a total of 50 times a day! I love you both so much!! wow! ❤️
Omg IM FANSIING RN! BEN DUDE THIS IS JUST OMG I CANT FINISH MY SENTENCES THOSE RIFFS
LaVon's reactions were literally the exact same as mine when I saw Ben in Beautiful
Y'ALL ARE BOTH SO GOOD WHAT THE HELL

I didn't know there could be so many riffs in one song but I'm loving it
I keep watching this and she is literally me listening to Ben help
I am Lavon, Lavon is me
This video has my entire heart I've watched it so much since I first found it 😂❤
Now whenever I listen to the regular version of this song I sing all the riffs 😂
Why is LaVon all of us listening to Ben singing this???
Woooow👀👀wow... Woooooooow
God bless Ben and his riffs
Lavon, you are amazing! Keep sharing your gift with the world, girl!! Great job to you too, Ben.
Omg. As a voice and music theater educator, this video absolutely made me bawl. I loved every second of the over the top riffs. There's no way possible that I could sit still hearing you two...I'd be on the ceiling screaming YES!!!!! This is simply the way it's done.

Ben Fankhauser is the reason I'm dead, he's so wonderful and those riffs 😍😆 great singing!
I had the same reaction
I’m pretty sure I watch this at least once a week and I never get tired of it 💕💕💕💕
Love ya LaVon and Ben
lavon finishing the song by herself is so iconic i cant
And it's so in touch with the play, too!
