Despite the fact I wanted to see them live on this video, Ben Fold's actions are amaaaaaazing<333

[DaKilla27]

1:13 ....wat. I know it's fake but you think they'd try a little harder...

[ubersoldat512]

Great, now i have a man-crush on Ben Folds...

[tdogg98264]

hahaha i love this. playing with his elbows and dropping the piano. cool effect. This is why Ben Folds is the coolest artist out there.

[piratessfifi]

hahaha i love how he's just slapping the piano

[piratessfifi]

oh my god he's adorable

[q0zi]

So you were the director over 10 years ago? Nice.

[q0zi]

And they're still better at acting than Christiano Ronaldo.

[Chezmat1]

what's the point of all that set up of all that expensive equipment if they're just lip syncing......

[SpankyWhispette]

@Chezmat1 Do you not even bother reading the uploader comments when they're all the same?? Or the description for that matter.

[allforleyna80]

amazing haha he's totally making fun of the fact hes lip syncing

[dbf678]

Is this playback? It very seems like!

[fillXinXblankXstares]

Wow. Just wow. xD I love them.

[bakerrchick099]

this makes me love ben folds ten times more than i already do! hes so funny!

[drummingislife91]

that is one of the funniest things I have seen.

[timopay]

i think it's pretty obvious how they're making fun of lip syncing and faking live performances with this video.

[theend13]

Video would be worthwhile if it didn't have the album version of the song dubbed over it. It's not as if Ben Folds Five are not good live, not sure why they would do this.

[PeterDemetris]

From the director: please see my response in the description section.

[sodemored]

@theend13 read the description!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[macolypse]

Always remembered seeing this and wondering if they took the piss cos the show wouldn't let them play live - Ben just slapping the keys and Robert's flapping away cos he's got them so loose!...

[PeterDemetris]

From the director: please see my response in the description section.

[macolypse]

Appreciate the insight, it makes sense now and I agree, it's possibly a more entertaining vid than if they could've played live... Re: Ben dropping the piano - do you mean you've fixed it for YouTube cos I'm sure when I watched the original I thought he was late dropping it?...

[PeterDemetris]

Yes he was late dropping the piano. I slipped it into sync for this upload. Tough decision but it didn't make much difference to the performance which I thought was terrific.

[Hoffman1222]

Where is the original live audio, do you have a video with that?

[toldo101]

Is this really live? There's no way he can play so accurately with his elbows...

[tikalal]

I can't stop laughing at the way he 'plays' the piano!

[madeonamacbookpro]

His hands are hilarious, he plays so well, thanks for the vid. I love Ben Folds's music, he is my musical inspiration
