@lui505 I think it was a stunt. Why else would Ben have drawn attention to it before hand, and on top of that, why would the camera have looked at him on more than that one occasion. I seriously think it was plotted on some level.
i think ben folds could play jazz too... he has some jazzy elements in his songs. that would be so awesome to hear jazz from him. Of course I love all of his stuff.
hahah i handt read the description! i though that guy was real!!! my heart skipped a beat, i was enjoying the song, and the crowds reaction scared me half to death!!
Grrrrrreat!
