I'm in love with a guy named Ben, and he thinks of me as a friend. I was really depressed about it, while watching Glee, and they sang this. I was so bummed.
wow never get tired of this song... so perfect. and clean vocals. makes me sad, with all he had, talent and success, he still was so unhappy. seems like the stage was his happiest times. so Michael i'm sure you are entertaining heaven on a big beautiful stage, just try not and grab your crouch too much in front of God!! :} keep front row open for all of us!!!!
@MissDecemberBabyy08 Truly saddens me, Not the death part but the fact that you think legend is spelled ledge... Ledge is what he held poor blanket off of. Ledge is what jackson should have been hurled from when he molested countless adolescence. If you asked pedobear who he looked up to and idolized i'm sure he would have responded Micheal Jackson, Because to pedo MJ would have been a "legend".
My most favorite song from Michael Jackson. I remember my mom listening to this and fell in love with it as a kid. Michael Jackson was huge all over the world including in my country. For me personally, I loved him for his music but most of all for how loving and kind he was to everyone. He was very compassionate and he showed it everywhere he went. I admired him and felt sad about his death but I know he lives on because death isn't the end.
no this song was written by michael it was a song to his rat ben that he had as a kid dat hiz dad joe killed with a rat trap so get your facts stright .
this is my ultimate favorite song, loved it since childhood. may Michael now R.I.P.
and may all be well for his family. its sad cause he honestly gave up his childhood for the sake of entertaining ppl and yet during the time he was alive they could only repay him by negative media and demeaning names. sadly he cant witness those who appreciated his wk mourne him as they miss a true genious who inspired many who in turn 2 now great artist. rly upset tht it never came 4 him 2 do da song w/ neyo 2
I like this version, too, but does anyone know of a video where he's singing "Ben" as an adult? Preferably, not a live performance; I want good sound quality.
Michael Did Write It With Help From His Song Writers. It Was About His Rat Ben. Ben Was Michaels Only Friend When He Was Growing Up. True Fans Would Know That :D
"Ben" is a 1972 film about a young boy (played by Lee H. Montgomery) and his pet rat, Ben. This film is a sequel to the 1971 film "Willard". The movie is known for its sentimental theme song, sung by a young Michael Jackson.
Je n'arrête pas d'écouter ta Musique, je n'arrête pas de voir ta danse... Je pleure...J'ai tout simplement du mal a accepté que tu n'es plus parmi nous...
Mais tu serra la dans nos cœurs, dans nos esprits car tu es une LÉGENDE Implacable que Dieu nous as offert...
Tu vie dans nos coeurs, et tu serra toujours dans nos cœurs Michael, !!! Si j'ai des enfants dans l'avenir, je parlerai de toi et je montrerai ta danse et tes chansons...
This is one of my favorite songs which reminded me how loving and so misunderstood from people who did not understand how to love him just like you would do a mouse like Ben.
Boy how people come out of the woodwork.When he was on trial for child molestion,it was som bad for him he had to leave the country,and now look at you assholes.Now you comment.GTH
The lyrics of this truly beautiful song say it all. Listen carefully to a very lonely little boy (written when Michael was 13 yrs old about his pet Rat). RIP beautiful, gentle Michael
R I P michael our thoughts and love are with your family and children. you maybe gone but never forgotten and your music will live on forever. this song is a childhood fav love always x
You've been like a family member, Michael yourgoing to be missed dearly. But never forgotten. R.I.P. Since 1963 i 've remebered Singing your songs and watching you become a legendary musical performer captivating audiences all around the world. My sincered blessing goes out to your family with Love. My God be with you.. A friend forever. Your music lives on across all boarders and cultures always ..Peace! Lord take of him..
lol, NO!!!!!! Jeez, look it up on wiki. The song was written FOR him. It wasn't even written for him, it was written for Donny Osmond, but MJ ended up recording it. It was the theme song for a horror movie about a killer rat named Ben that a friendless psycho befriended. Ben was his best friend and helped the young man kill people. Such a beautiful song for such a creepy movie. I never understood why they chose to put this great song in that movie.
