If You're The One - Ben Sharkey Original

[death2ipod]

oh ben! i forgot that i used to listen to you all the time. i remembered you this morning and i'm so happy i did. your voice has not fallen by the wayside, i see, but has only improved. still as beautiful and as flawless as my ears remember. please tell me you have an album out, now. if you don't i do believe i may cry.

[bensharkey]

@death2ipod Ah.. yes.. I remember your comments! Thanks again, I'm glad you were able to stop by for a visit! I actually do have an album out! Check it out and let me know what you think! it's on iTunes and Amazon.. the links are on my website: bensharkey dotcom

[death2ipod]

@bensharkey aw i'm so glad my comments to you were memorable :] i just took a listen...it's about time, man! i love it. if i had money to spend right now, i'd be all over snagging that off itunes. i think my favorite, and i'd love to hear more, would be your cover of billie jean. not many people can pull off doing a cover that big. but i doubt any cover is too big for you. beautiful :]

[fozzarelli]

for those of you that don't know, Ben painted that picture in the background too! Awesome dude. and amazingly talented. I need to get a painting done by him

[InaFriese]

Wow, you´re so sweet and you have a wonderful voice. You are just great!!! Kiss.

[TheAldhiemalfoy]

[kanibabs]

Will you marry me, Ben?

[bensharkey]

@Kabanify haha! you found my deviant art profile huh? thank you! :,P

[cassandra73de]

so wonderful.. awesome.. you make me speechless..

[mepmug01]

Hello Ben,

Thanks for sharing this song! And putting the lyrics with it too. It's great. You really have the looks and voice for a singer! Wonder how your plans/carreer are going. Great also to read that you are painting too! As I am. You are a very creative and busy person I think. Mazzel tov at all you do!

Hugs and be well. Mannes.

[NutellaMrs]

this is my favorite song! :-)

[SplitPZ]

Love the lyrics! Great job performing. You have a really strong voice. Beautiful painting!

[vaanneessaa92]

I LOVE IT! :) 

[alchiaradiluna]

I don't even know how long I spent on your channel these days, after finding out. I really think you're absolutely amazing. I wanted to ask if you would like to sing "stay" by Gavin DeGraw...I bet it would be a perfect song for your voice. Ciao Ben!

[twinsehayes]

If you put this on Itunes i will buy this. I love it. this is probably my favorite love song right now.

[Kabanify]

who is the girl on that picture behind you?)

[RuntLaLaLa]

wow i like the painting

&nice vid ;)

[The2StoogesAndDavid]

you still remind me of jd's brother from scrubs

[discovery781]

sounds like another u-tube wanna-be

[mattnpatxi]

@discovery781 nope, hes just someone who wants to let his talkent out. a u-tube wannabe is someone under 20 who doesent know anything about life.

[BJUK]

Ben now going along the list - love this too.

[racc91]

Ben your music is amazing and you are a great singer.. well i already told you that before, by the way your picture is so good the parts of the face are incredible, ¿do you have any online gallery? I look forward to see your work.

Receive hugs from Mexico.

[yoanelisabeth]

damn i love your voice veryyyyyyyyyyyy much :) Greetings From Indonesia

[starlitsky222]

Oh, Ben!!!!!!!! This is fantastic! Is that your GF (the picture)? If so, or if NOT so, who the HECK painted that?! That's tiiiiiight!!!!

[bensharkey]

@starlitsky222 Hey babe! No, that's not my GF... ha ha, but! I did paint the picture. It's part of a 7 piece series called "DOLL FACE" Each one is made up of three well known female faces this one is: Kate Moss' Eyes, Keira Knightly's nose, and Angelina Jolie's Lips.

[Agginss]

@bensharkey Wow you painted that?! whats really good :D

[BrunoAlvesGuedes]

Eae Ben ...Toca Song For You ??? Vai fica Style!!!

Abraço.

[Fanyfollinglove]

Tienes un talento increible :O y la cancion es preciosa

[javajunkie101]

I needed to come back to this video a second time. It was time for that gorgeous voice of yours to put me in a good mood. Cannot wait to see and hear more from you, love. And yes...that smile still makes me blush!!!!!! Love it, sweetie!

[newmoonrises]

You have such an amazing voice. You are so confident in singing. keep up the good work and keep making videos cause i love listening to them.

[VioletBlue2008]

Beautiful.

[thisisacrummyname]

Ben, I love this song... and I look foward to listing to more of your music.. you never dissapoint me.. I was curious to know are you going to put this up on iTunes with your other music?

[bensharkey]

@thisisacrummyname Thank you! Yes! This song will be a part of my album. (which will probably come out soon after the new year)

[kukanakamaoli]

@bensharkey let us know when your album comes out!

[Madsen1447]

Ben I think you are just beautiful and I love your voice, xxoo's

[tiffany6888]

i absolutely love this song...(of course)..i should be more criticizing...but i just don't want to lol

[dancewithme8900]

hi ben!

my name is Daniela and i'm from a little country called Portugal...

just to say you are one of the most talented musicians on youtube!

never drop that magic that you have when you sing =)

hope the best to you!!

and hope to see you on the top hits here, soon =)

One time someone told me this: it's not the words that move us, but the actions that we make when we heard them... so don't listen to those that just want to make you feel bad, just follow your dreams no metter what!

GOOD LUCK

[vaanneessaa92]

You're a great singer. And the lyrics of this song are very beautilful! And I love all the pictures I see in your videos! Sorry for my way to write, i'm spanish and I write like I can... :) Can you please sing another song of Jamie Cullum, I love him and you sing very well in the song you have here of I'm Singing in the rain! thank you and continue uploading songs! ;)

[perryman24]

Ben, you are fantastic!!!! You totally have passion for what you do and it shows! Your the perfect mix of Michael Buble and Jason Mraz. This song is perfect for me right now!!!! Amazing amazing amazing voice! Your just mister hunky stud! My only advice, stop being so gosh darn cute!

[theonlyrealDeJaVu]

great :)

[goodgrammarishot]

Did you paint that painting? As well as the others on your walls? They're great, and almost distract me from your musical talent, almost.

[somedaywewillflyaway]

The lighting in the video is better this time. Nice melody! But the lyrics are horrible! No originality! Romeo and Juliet?? This song is full of cliches! Even the face in the painting looks way too stereotypical and esthetical. We don't need another Romeo! Stop pretending you're prince charming, because he doesn't exist. Get real! You'll get many more fans.

[bensharkey]

@somedaywewillflyaway I appreciate your criticism but the song is kinda about the cliche's. This person that I'm singing about may be that "one" that you can be cliche with.. that's what the song is about. If you ever see a couple that is in love, walking through the park.. it's a bit of a cliche. It doesn't mean that the cliche is wrong, and it doesn't make me want to hold hands with someone special in the park any less. You get what I'm saying?

[bensharkey]

@somedaywewillflyaway About the painting.. it's a commentary on contemporary ideals of beauty. I've heard women say "I want Jolie's lips" or "I want Kate Moss' Eyes" so this painting is a collage of three "Beautiful women" put together. the Proportions are also played with. So the ending result is something that doesn't look quite right. It's meant to be Stereotypical, and esthetical, You got the surface of the painting, but Art is more about what the meaning is rather than just a picture.

[WagnerDanny]

@bensharkey I was going to comment on the proportions of the face, but after reading your process and the reasoning for your choices I see what you're speaking to. I think it's awesome you paint and sing. I do these things as well although I'm more of a painter/drawer then singer, lol. It's good to have a variety of artistic interests.

[tazzena]

@somedaywewillflyaway I thinl someone has a bitter bone! I rally think this song is cute.. Yeah I guess it is kinda Cheesy, but that is what love is to some people... And uh hell yes I want a Romeo... So I want the sad ending no, but someone willing to die for me hell yeah! :D

[roland4859]

I'll take you and the painting. lol GREAT WORK on both!!! :)

[mihzinhahh]

great performing girl of Ipanema... Come to Brazil and we'll go to dance samba =)

[eefgirl]

Amazing song sweetheart! Nothing beats a live performance though :-) Love ya

[tracey002]

[Simoneaird955]

Loving your vocals Ben!!

[Sammielou1109]

You Are Amaze Ben Keep it going Coz like Tbh i love your versions more than theres

RAW talent :) (L)

[bensharkey]

@Sammielou1109 Thank you! this one is an original of mine though. not a cover version. :,P

[javajunkie101]

Sweet voice, honey and don't get me started on that adorable smile! I am subscribing.

[bensharkey]

@javajunkie101 haha! thank you!! :,P

[FunnyBunny2702]

I for my part find not only the song extremely great but also this Angelina Jolie picture in the background... simply first-class what you make there! Thumbs high :D

[bensharkey]

@FunnyBunny2702 :,) thank you! It's angelina Jolie's Lips.. Kate Moss' Eyes and Keira Knightly's nose.

[FunnyBunny2702]

@bensharkey Really Kate Moss her eyes and the nose is not also from Angelina... moves... does not fall at all on ^^

[gwithadream]

@bensharkey I thought I recognized the lips. Despite your incredible artwork & song, I couldn't help but be drawn to by your eyes. Nice light-hearted song. It makes me wonder what you & Coblie Caillat would sound like recording an original song together. She always has those light little songs about love, too.

[MrMskorge05]

Hey Ben, just discovered your channel and I am NOT dissapointed. great vocals. My question is not about singing tho. I love the picture you have hanging on your wall. can you tell me more about it? where did you get it? who made it? ;) two thumbs up. my fav. so far is home - michal buble. keep going strong!

[bensharkey]

@MrMskorge05 Thank you! I'm the artist who painted it. It's a montage of three famous women's features.

[gr3gorbox]

@bensharkey are there angelina jolie's lips?? ;)

[vaanneessaa92]

@gr3gorbox yes! He put that there are in the first comentari!

[RadicalComedy]

such a talent, magnetism..loved the song.~Raven

Bravo Ben! This is a wonderful original that really speaks to me especially right now in life ... I can't wait to see you live again - when will that be?

[bensharkey]

@jimlcmn Thanks! I'm glad it speaks to you! I'm performing at Ignite in the MGM Casino on July 31st at 8pm for 3 hours. :,)

[jimlcmn]

Bravo Ben! This is a wonderful original and actually speaks to me more than you know right now trying to decide what to do in life ... I can't wait to see you live again - when will that be?

[txgirl115]

@emyllsomar Thanks for the comment. Yes, I paint. I just painted the piece behind me. :,)

[emyllsomar]

@bensharkey Awesome work, that piece is great. A multi-talented artist, I do not see many these days.  I am a painter as well, that is why I asked do you have any other works on display publicly or online..?
