Hey, Ben you sound amazing.. . good JOB!!!
Your voice is so sweet, i think you should sing for children, you can make music / movies like Dudu Fisher or Uncle Moishe.
Good luck.

No need to be nasty.

impressed!!
December 3, 2009 8:26 am

Very inspiring. . may he go mechayil lechayil;
How sad that once again we cant have it, without guys making cruel, unnecessary and harmful comments;
Dont like it?? At least have the mentchlechkeit, to keep your opinions to yourself. . and not have nachas from putting down, yet again, a fellow jew . . Poshut some people revel in open critiscism on a regular basis. . jealousy perhaps??????

nice

December 3, 2009 7:17 am

to #24
December 3, 2009 6:54 am

Sometimes a niggun sung perfectly is quite off the mark.

Mixture
December 3, 2009 6:38 am

He sounds like a mixture between Shlomo Carelbach and Mordechai Ben David.

wow
December 3, 2009 6:11 am

stunning voice hatzlacha rabba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

Rules
December 3, 2009 5:44 am

There’s got to be rules in this competition. There’s nothing in this guy’s audition besides the music and filters to make his voice sound better.

Is that what this competition is about? Whose studio recording is better? What if a guy doesn’t have money to compete with this level of professionalism?

It’s a pretty stupid competition this way.

enjoyable
December 3, 2009 5:21 am

very hartzig, thanks!

nice
December 3, 2009 4:56 am

Although not Superstar quality voice, he has a nice sweetness in the voice.

one contestant
December 3, 2009 4:50 am

and we have our first william hung

beutiful soothing voice.
December 3, 2009 4:17 am
Key
December 3, 2009 4:08 am

Ebm is too low a key for this song to shine. Fm would have been preferable, or even Gm – highest note being E (touching F), doable for most able bodied singers.

excellent!
December 3, 2009 3:48 am

great voice ben! keep on going!!!!!!!

Beaitfull!
December 3, 2009 3:43 am

i am sure you will become an extremly famous singer! Hatzlacha Raba!!!

December 3, 2009 1:40 am

go binyomin. proud of you to do this. good luck

video?
December 3, 2009 1:32 am

who put together this video?

what makes a singer a great singer?
December 3, 2009 1:07 am

is this talent? or is this your average guy singing a Nigun very nicely.
listen to avraham fried sing a nigun “pitch” “range” “control” in one word TALENT, i’m not putting anyone down but y does every average joe think they’ve got it?
you guys don’t watch TV? but this looks like “America’s got talent” with a chasidishe twist.
either way, if this is it hatzlacha rabah on a new career path.

studio
December 3, 2009 12:20 am

December 2, 2009 6:16 pm
