I really don't see why people are hyping about comparisons.. Ed has done alot more gigs and was lucky to get signed with SBTV. Ben has just as much talent as Ed and whoever said Ben has only played 100 gigs in his whole carrier has just publicly proven how ignorant they are, Because their music is slightly different it's hard to compare but they're both fantastic musicians..
I´m tired of everybody complaining about Ed. They are both great! ..and I also think that a lot of you "haters" were a huge Ed Sheeran fans before Ben Howard.
Ben Howard is super-great, Ed Sheeran is super-great! So shut up! And if you don´t like Ed, than don´t speak about him while you listening to Ben! They are both unique in their own way..
Its so sad that at the top of the comments for most 'non-mainstream' music, people are declaring what brought them to this video. Surely we should be appreciating the beauty of the music and not worrying about our own little selves?
@surfbum97 i allready am now, i saw him on a link from another ben howard song. He's very good, got his facebook page aswell! Going to see Ben Howard in November at Manchester! cant wait! :D
@marrey07 I like them both. ♥ But I know what you mean. The most people got a real bad taste in music. I mean for heaven's sake what is Taio cruze?? :D
@marrey07 Ed sheeran = chord progressions in major key , Ben Howard = chord progressions in minor key .Therefore Commercial value(Ed Sheeran) > Commercial value(Ben Howard)
@marrey07 Ed Sheeran is just as talented. Why do you guys always need to bash someone in order to promote another artists? Sheeran worked hard to become famous, he earned and deserves it.
@kat5e1 Being a good musician is not about how many gigs you do, its talent. Ben Howard has more talent than Ed Sheeran any day. His music is beautiful. Ed's is just commercialized and without any substance.
Found out about Ben Howard after reading an interview with Jacko Hooper (who i also didn't know at the time...) as he mentioned him as an influence, now i've found two of my favourite artists in one day, thankyou youtube! Check out his track 'common sense' if you want to find some more beautiful acoustic music by a young man,
Hi, I was just wondering if you would be so good and check out a few of my demo's.. I haven't been doing it long but good to get the views and some feedback :) uploaded a new track today, very rough but still if yoiu get chance have a listen to a few ! Click my username :) x.x
@thePaperElf I often visit Bantham, my family have a flat in Thurlestone, its almost as beautiful as Ben's voice down there ;) Tell him i said that if you ever get the chance! haha
I had never hear any song of Ben Howard, and now I can't stop listening... I'm playing the song over and over again, go to the next one and it happens again... This is awesome!
I just stumbled upon this piece of music...that's how I shared it in my facebook: ...wild spirit music...awakening, refreshing and dancing in my bloodstream ♥ Speaks for itself, doesn't it?! I am hooked...ahhhh how wonderful to find real, raw, good music out there still these days...it could make me cry...no wait, it did :)
Hi, i figured, people listening to Benji are obviously fans of acoustic music as am I, you could maybe check my demo out that i recorded last week :) not been doing this long, but have a look if you have a bit of time :) click on my username x
There seem to be memories that are tied to this song, bringing them up with a haunting power. Shivers come across my body with every piece of melody that it delivers. Brilliant!
Thank god he's going on tour! Without a doubt this guy is heading for big things, I look forward to following his success and being 'smug' that I apprieciated him from the beginning and I'm not going to be one of those that jump on the bandwagon. Major talent Mr Howard!
I have just found Ben through my brother who also introduced me to Mumford and Sons. Absolutely moving music - grabs you by the soul and squeezes you.
I'm so glad I got to see him live because he's getting big and before you know it his tickets gunna be raving expensive :( means there's no chance I'm gunna be able to see him live again -.-
I hate to compare artists, I do agree that each artists are unique and should be measured by their own standards. But I cant help but see him as, just a bit, like a younger Andrew Bird. Of course there are differences, but some striking parrelles in their music as well.
i just wanna say. i saw ben howard and the gang last night in sheffield. and it was fucking brilliant, i mean literally out of the fucking world. you think his voice is amazing when you listen to it on the albums and what not..ppfftt wait till you see him live people seriously. its only a tenner a ticket. i listened to album once, thought 'yeah, fairplay.' then saw them live. and he is now officially i fucking legend. a must must must see. tickets aint gonna this cheap next year i can tell you
