I had never heard of Benson Boone before, to me he has just appeared out of nowhere with his new song "Beautiful Things". Who is Benson Boone and will he be this generations Bruce Springsteen / Bon Jovi? What is is about this kind of self-deprecating man-rock that's currently so popular?

I'm having a difficult time with a lot of things in my life at the moment. Some things I've heard you speak about that you've overcome and also just life in general. There's just a lot going on. And when I watch your videos each day it takes me out of a dark place and I see someone who has overcome a lot for one and also the style of the videos, your humour, the positive vibe you put out there. I just wanted to say it's a really high point in my day and always makes me really happy. So thank you and I hope you keep up doing what you're doing! ...Also, The Darkness ROCK! Best gig I've ever been to at the OVO last February in London. Thanks for all the great content Justin. Hope to see you guys again live soon!✌️Jake Xx
This channel has restored my faith in contemporary music and really cheered me up at a pretty bleak time for the world. You pick some great artists. Thank you everyone involved.
You know what else is f**king phenomenal? You guys, last night in Brisbane🤘🏻First time I’ve seen The Darkness since the Sydney BDO 20 years ago. Worth the wait. Well done sirs. We’ll done 🫡
The chorus reminds me of Heart-Shaped Box. The little pause between please stay and the guitar bend.
Exactly what I heard.
“Hey, wait. I’ve got a new complaint…”😂
That's what it reminded me of! I couldn't figure it out and didn't know Justin's reference.
@@RTCPhotoWorkJustin's reference was to Mutt Lange producer of AC/DC and Def Leppard and his use of stomp vocal choruses.
A buddy plays drums for him and after his show in Seattle I said Benson's on-stage backflip off the bass drum mid-song was the "second most athletic move I've ever seen at the Showbox"
When asked for clarification, I showed him my video of you doing a handstand and clapping your legs to the beat.
Show him David Lee Roth of Valen jumping off the drum riser 10ft high in the air and doing the splits in the late 1970s-early 80s,he was the most athletic and dynamic front man of all time.
What a trooper, performing every night and still making daily video treats.
Such stamina. ⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️
It’s lovely to see a seasoned and established professional really enjoying the talent of someone up and coming
I like hearing your takes but I stay for stay for the comedic chops 👌
The chorus is very Heart Shaped Box.
it’s really a beautiful song! it may be really “trendy” but it’s also really gorgeous and well-done!
Spruce Stringbean lol
Everytime I hear that misspelling it cracks me up😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loved that too!!
YESSSS Benson getting the recognition he deserves!!
I liked the mini Tommy Steel style intro .... nice.
He can sing but I'm not a fan of the Capaldi Sheeranesque modern male vocal. That got better as the song progressed.
Totally agree. This almost baby talk vocal in the verses has surely run it's race by now. Nothing wrong with singing in your own voice and accent.
Glad it's not just me. It's fucking horrible to hear
You voiced my thoughts exactly
This young man is such a talent … he’s one to watch… going to be epic .. ♥️
Chorus is just like HEART SHAPED BOX.
Benson has one of the best male singing voices I've heard in a long time. FYI, he only just starting singing age 18 and was on American idol and then swedish idol. He is so talented.
Absolutely love him, had not heard of him until you shared. Thank you 🙏.
I was surprised and delighted. I love the passion and power, it's amazing to see such raw truthful talent in a 21 Year old. Thanks again Justin!
It’s amazing to me how you can pick up so much in just a few cords of a song!
I was bored off my ass and would have changed the station had this come on the radio since it sounds exactly like everything else out there right now. And I would have missed the chorus which was the good part of the song. Hopefully he makes more songs like the chorus and less like the rest of it.
Oh yes 👍🏻
Lots of promise....the older I get tougher to get excited about the young ones coming up
Yeah, me too. I guess my brain is becoming more rigid and less plastic as I get older, haha.
He didn't come out of nowhere, his in the stars was a huge hit too, he's been producing music for a couple of years, he's a legend
Our faces both 😁 at that chorus.
I do agree it should have been sooner but what a great song!!!
Thank you Justin!!! ✌🏽
Ah, this put such a smile on my face!!
You said it like exactly I felt about the song . I hope Benson Boone will give us more of his rock voice in the future.🤩
Healthy risk is what good art has .
Yip. Tripping along thinking, "Oh, one of those songs with these singers again" then BANG! Hoping the rest of his songs are more like the chorus and looking forward to finding out.
It's like Heart Shaped Box + Happier Than Ever.
I'm still not sure there's enough in that song to hold my attention for more than one listen, but as a performer he's definitely got promise. Considering he's so young, I imagine that his voice could be even better in a few years time.
Spot on Justin. The beauty and range of his voice gives me goosey bumps 😊 As you so well put it at times, eargasm. Thx for sharing this gem. ❤️
Love it! yet another band discovered via JHRA thanks
Spot on Justin....just found him today an hes blown me away as you said - wat a voice-.. songs kept me up way past bed time 🫡🥁🎸🎼
I love how passionnate you are about music.
Even as we speak there are stadiums and sporting events cuing up this chorus. Anthemic arena ish sounds great live I bet. Great tune 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing show in Brisbane last night Justin! 🤘❤️ love how excited Justin is listening to this, gonna check out this guy now
I love your music review Justin , thank you.🙏💕
Always has an ear on early new music. I found Ren and now Benson through the channel
Well.....I'm glad someone likes it.....
Thanks again for another introduction to new music mate
At some point this community needs a the ‘my tattoos walk through’ video… :)
Good day to you Justin... celebration!! It's my 47th birthday today. It's a pitty you are in Australia... going to have a great party😂😂. Have a nice day buddy
Happy Birthday🎉
@@sah-win thanks so much
Happy Birthday! Mine's tomorrow. It's a big one! I'll be 50!
@@stephanieparker8043 i awaited today so... happy birthday too! With Justin, at least, we remain young in the spirit 🤘
@alessandrogiacomini6853 Thank you! 😊
Great episode. I totally agree with you, I didn’t expect the chorus at the beginning of the song!
See you tomorrow in Canberra!!
I love that I can find new music through this ...
Didn"t know you were in Australia!!!Till When!!
“Hey, wait. I’ve got a new complaint…”
his voice reminds me a little of Lewis Capaldi.
I'm racking my brains, is it George Ezra 'Hold My Girl'? What is it? 😟
Of course 03:20 it's Passenger 👏 almost identical.
I like the sentiment of the song. Sappy delivery usually makes me gag, but I feel he actually means it, which is so rare in pop. Also, when I hear emotive vocal phrasing like this I always worry the singer is about to go full emo, but he restrains himself here. So, thank you Mr. Boone for not going full emo.
As a bit of a prog fan, I am a fan of a longer song, and of giving songs time to develop, but there's something in what you said. If it hadn't been on your channel I might have stopped listening to it before it got to the interesting part.
Love your watch Justin!
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnnnn!!!! 🎸🎶🎵
AGAIN 👍🏻
😂❤🎉
Effication is a perfect assessment… yet he rises above many of the male emotive singers
Incredible, he's only 21 years old!
Same old corporate overemotional rubbish.
But hey corporate guy, sell it.
Take a chill pill, Scrooge.
He was on American Idol
05:15 😂😂😂 It's great when one gets surprised by a song
06:03...here it is, another silence 🤣
Enjoyed a lot the episode👏👏👏
Justin you are a sort of musical encyclopedia, the way you review songs it's amazing👍❤️
PS:✌️😎...😜😊😘
I know this will never get through but i would really love so much if Justin made an analysis on a song from a prog metal band named Reliqa, I Don't Know What I Am; it will definitely be food for thought!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Would love to see you react to Noah Kahan! Skip Stick Season -- it's good, but you might really connect with Orange Juice, which is some amazing storytelling, or the rather vulnerable discussions of mental health on Growing Sideways; Your Needs, My Needs; or Call Your Mom. Homesick and Dial Drunk are also fun.
it doesn't matter how where and when. if you're good you rock

This is the song to God. I love it. Not about a girl, not about drugs, not about a hangover or a downer break up. So refreshing.
He sounds alright. I see he was on American Idol. He's playing in Vancouver this year, smallish venue.
I saw Benson Boone when he opened for The Band Camino! He’s even better live! Also check out The Band Camino
Hey Justin love your channel and hoping you're enjoying the Gold Coast and Australia just thought i'd mention an Australian artist who started out as a You Tuber but going places is Go-Jo good music and a funny bloke anyway enjoy Oz ✌
The moustache HAS to go though.
He could give free moustache rides at the carnival....lol
I'm quite liking the reemergence of the 70's tache.
Very Terence Stamp, Sergeant Troy 💂♀️
It’s rock Jim- but not as we know it.
He rides again!!!
Initially gave me reincarnations of Dermot Kennedy - Outnumbered. Ja'dore the switch up in the chorous!
Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like a great tune. Gonna check it. This guy would've "killed it" if he was on American Idol. I guess we're past that era of centrally controlled talent exposure. Like it or not, we live in the age of TikTok culture. I liked MySpace a lot. Don't know what happened there.
You need to do the MK gee live video of looking up.
Saw you guys in Brissy. Hot, fun stuff!
Anyone else hearing heart shaped box in the chorus?
I seriously thought this was your son the first time I heard this and saw the video
Same chords are Ren's 'Chalk Ouines'
I heard a Ren sound, too, but it’s not as obvious in the full video.
His voice at first reminded me of Tom Cochrane.
Benson is saying he has a beautiful love but at any time he could f@&k it up and lose it all. Treat your women like queens till the day you die.
Dude.. go out on your balcony and say " Look at me,POOP!" I live across from you.. that is MY APARTMENT! 8th floor , middle apartment. Say Hi to me!
Go and listen to the Band of Horse and see what a beautiful voice is that
The chorus to this song definitely made me think of Band of Horses. It certainly has a great hook, and he has a great voice.
The verses are a bit…..I don’t want to say sappy, but I can’t think of a better term. I guess a bit simple. A Band of Horses song would have a bit more depth, in my opinion.
It´s true . I do agree with you @@MeganManXxX
Could you take a look at Muireann Bradley - When The Levee Breaks? She's 17 from Donegal. She's a prodigy but not trying to prove something like what this artist sounds like. Please, please, please look at Muireann!!!! It will only be a good thing for sure if you do!!! I want to see you replicate her guitar work and singing.
If you like benson boones stuff Justin I suggest you check out someone called Gavn! Not as famous or big but definitely a similar genre and amazing songs!
Woof!
Ren has in my oppinion inspired people to be greatness
I can certainly understand how the long build-up would make it easy for first-time listeners to dismiss this track as yet another sad young male balladeer if it came onto the radio; but what a fabulous surprise awaits. It reminds us not to judge books by their covers. We should judge artists by the entirety of their song/collection and not by snippets. Love this! ❤
Too busy 😂
Love to see ur response to Die Spitz.
Girl punk band from Austin tx
They’re pretty damn good. I mentioned them before hoping to get JMF to pass along to Justin.
Guitar 🎸
His voice/diction/phrasing is like Lewis Capaldi if he'd had a liiittle bit of helium
😂
Hey Justin, you might like this band called Uncle Reno.
I'm gonna go totally off topic here, but you need to check out "VUKOVI - MERCY KILL", Scottish band with an incredible vocalist (and the video ain't half bad either!)
This song feels really similar to Noah Kahan's Your Needs My Needs. Especially the build and then the belting in the chorus vs Noah's bridge. Noah's lyrics just hit a bit differently. Definitely worth a listen 🎶
I'm also pleasantly surprised by that song! Love the Aussie accent intro haha
Reminds me of a song you’d hear on xfactor, where they’d get through to judges houses
I’m glad you commented this song bc it’s dope. It reminds me, in the chorus, the voice of Eric Nally. Super track!
He's only 21? Wow!
Can you do a review of Paramore's recent rendition of Burning Down the House please?
Benson Boone is the real deal
You should really check out this artist, nothing,nowhere. . He's kind of more on the Indy grid right now, he should be a lot more known than he is. He is like King of the emo rapper sound, but also a great singer and musician. Maybe check out sorry I'm trying, venom, hammer, or death. Again it is crazy to me that he is not popping right now with artists like MGK kind of running that scene, this man is lyrical in a rap sense, is super punk rock, humble and edgy . Big fan . I'm also a great fan of your show as well. From one fellow Justin to another, keep on rocking
Yeah! I liked this!
Yea great voice!
okay - so my first thought on his voice right to start -is - alot of people are sounding like Dirt Miller. and more, yup Dirt Miller.
Aaaaargghhhh sorry. Can’t help it. Music teacher head on. Not D# - A#! Eb - Bb - F - Gmin. Yeah, I know. It’s the same thing, but it’s not too!!! OK. As ye were.
