[thejazzman9191]

Have you recorded this properly yet, because i'd love the MP3 version of this!

[yojosefo]

no download version?! amazing mate! :)

[krristaar]

Woah, this song is so much sexier in jazz

[whathefuck78]

you have talent indeed. congrats

[rredd7777]

This never gets old. Each time I come back and listen, it sounds just as good as ever! But I still can't imagine what could have been so wrong about the earlier take(?) that everyone agreed at the end that that was better. Especially when this take is so perfect.

[theraver2020]

This sounds like Sinatra

[bonslywizard]

It's kinda hard to imagine this song was originally pure pop. :S

[The83rdTrombonist]

It's hard to believe that this isn't a current pop song and not a jazz standard the way you sing.

[woqu34]

this is amazing. what kind of guitar is that?

[LTJustin514]

you got the club voice feeling XD

[mrpineiroxd]

You are literally THEE person who inspired me to sing =] ty

[bensharkey]

@mrpineiroxd For real? :,)

[SunflowerAim]

Can't wait to hear your new album! Woo. :) I was listening to some of your older work and this really shows how you've grown. Love it!

[bensharkey]

@SunflowerAim haha! I'm happy that there is interest out there for it. It's been a lot of work, but it's coming together! :,) I'll post it on my website soon!

[jeffscott66]

Can anyone offer up a chord chart for this?

[SuperParawhore]

This is magnificent! Please do a studio version, I want this on my iPod so badly!

[taralucia]

OMG marry me. And tell me if you have a website where I can buy this song!!!

[SemperEadem8]

A hundred times better than Gaga. Love it!!

[vanillakiki1]

this is just sheer brilliance ....just makes me want to get up and dance just beautiful!

[noonesprinces]

Haha the uy on the chello is lookin at Ben all lovey dovey LOL

[SilentKill8593]

[ericsenn1]

dude, this is really amazing! that took some serious talent to turn a pop song into jazz, and then pull it off and make it great. and you did. this sounds amazing! well done. you just won a subscription.

[MJPTHA3RD]

Dude nice chord choices for guitar. :3

[bpapao]

To the people saying this is better then the original:

ITS DIFFERENT! Of course you're gonna like this one better if you like jazz more then pop, duh.

Nevertheless, Ben and his band f'ing rocks!

[tobyfurtado]

[dyslexicxheart]

[Namuletz]

haha it sounds so good :D

[malditoparasito]

I liked your version of the song and I think with this kind of music (like jazz covers) you would probably find a gap in the music market and I wish you do well. Cheers.

[kr192101]

Would like to hear other songs like Telephone, Why Don't you love me? (Byonce's song.) , Girlfriend (Avril Lavine) & that Baby song by Justin Bevier.

[A1z1u1L]

dude i'm putting this on my ipod!

[Kasik8807]

You guys are pretty down-right amazing~! :D

[JustPlainBekah]

Wow.... I'm not normally one to listen to Jazz, but wow, I think this may have totally changed my perspecitve of this style. Makes a big chacke from rock =)

THANKS!

[sweetsugarbabe100]

Wow what can I say - Amazing. I was having one of those nights, and I was looking for a video tribute on You tube for someone special who died. And I came across your music. And you totally turned my night around. THANK YOU:) There is this saying, but I am not sure who said it, but it goes like this - Music speaks what can not be expressed, soothes the mind & gives it rest, heals the heart & makes it whole flows from heaven to the soul! - Thank You for sharing your gift!

[rockerhead247]

How the hell did you do that? I mean, that takes talent and creativity. Very well done.

[vortiesmodel]

woot!

awesome...

jazz ever!

[ReverendKateColombo]

Actually, to tell you the truth, I'd be really interested in a doo-wop version!

[ReverendKateColombo]

So i really like the arrangement, but for a few comments: the intro is a little off, not by any fault of the singer; I feel like you need to kick it off with something a little less bare, if you know what I mean? Also, is the singer able to go up the octave on that last "-zi"? I feel like that would be much more conclusive...Maybe it'd be too feminine, but I AM a girl, so I do tend to arrange like one. =P

Otherwise, well performed on all accounts. Kudos!

[patryciagaroch]

Great version much better than the gaga version! :)

[patryciagaroch]

Great versionmuch better than the gaga version! :)

[kr192101]

@patryciagaroch I agree

[GABY24MARCH]

THINK IT IS BETTER THAN LADY GAGA VERSION, REALY!

[Jordainio]

hahaha....

Hahahahaha! Not what I was expecting.

[nastashia84]

wow i like this version..very good job changing things up....

[hubbardfan]

i like it... but it almost seems too relaxed... i'd like the drums to grove harder... maybe even when singing lay back the melody a bitttt

[harveypotato]

Don't like the intro, but when the musicians came in, it was redeemed! Love this cover!! I also recorded a jazz version of this song, but haven't uploaded it... needs major work (mixing, etc.). It would be cool if the vocalist would jazz up his vocals.. off-rhythms and whatnot. Take some liberties! Be a jazz vocalist, don't be afraid to play around with the rhythm. I wish I could email you my version (even in it's unfinished form) to give you some ideas. I'd love to help!

[denmoonlight]

very cool i love it =)

[spyelman]

uuu... so cool!

[mariniehore]

AWESOME I want more!

[kayooteya]

AMAZING

[MusicLover161106]

I cant even stop listening to this!!

[SilentKill8593]

Is there a way I can get this on my iPod? If so please tell me cause I love this version and I will put this on my iPod instantly.

[MusicLover161106]

Wow Sooooooo Much Better Than Lady GaGa!!!! Your A Good Singer!! I Mean Reallllllllllyyyyyy Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Lol

[x0xLollipopx0x1]

hahaha I love this version

[satansdna]

Wow! You are extremely talented! How is it that Justin Beiber can manage to obtain a record deal via Youtube yet you are still unsigned? Come to Australia, PLEASE!!!

[rosanitaparis]

Ben, it's a great and awesome artist,

I prefer the jazzy version of Paparazzi

[kootzyyy]

[titin18ful]

[titin18ful]

luv it! i agree, yours is better than the original!=)

[titin18ful]

luv it! i agree!!! urs is much better than the original!=)

[gabrisc90]

Incredible!!!! Thousand times better than the original!!!! This version makes me think that Lady Gaga is a missed jazz piano player and that's horrible

[jeeprockhound]

arrangement is nice but feels rushed.....IMO

[AmySergeantMusic]

I can picture my self going down an elavator and this coming on, its awesome :D x

[OneNightStans]

very nice!!! any chance our band could get the arrangement for this? we're trying ot put together a cabaret show, and this would be perfect!

[SilentKill8593]

Amazing I love this! I like this better than Gagas version!

[TheKaraDanielle]

I LOVE YOU!! You are such a crooner :) I seriously feel like I am in the 40's at a show HAHA :) absolutely amazzzzing :) Jazz is sooo underrated.

[ThePatriciaRolland]

Guuuaaa ¡uuuu ! I love it !!

Good swing jajaja !

It's a wonderful version, Ben,

Your Friend Rosa from France

[Dadaygaleguinha]

Awesome! I AM your biggest fan!

[laredletolvr44]

I absolutely adore this, it's so smooth and your voice is flawless. You are truly very talented! You just got yourself another fan ;).

[avanna08]

I love how you can take any song and make it into your own version. I dont like Lady Gaga, but after hearing your version I can totally listen to her song with your voice in my head :) I know the music industry would totally love an entertainer like you! Cant wait until I see your name on your own album cuz I would definitely listen to your songs.

[amsureful]

wowww  nice voice and handsome hehehe

[Ursugarspice]

Ben you are a real cool cat...like I dig your music...to the max....seriously you are amazing.

[PallidWinter]

I'm very impressed with you voice. I hope you've found places to showcase your talent!

Blessings, Katie (Shroud of Bereavement)

[sarahakaaj]

[negrobazz]

[ligisiukas2]

Dear Ben, your voice is something amazing, i think you were born for singing, hope to see you in biger scenes. Love the way you are living trough what you are singing, every song is just like a new masterpiece. Keep singing, goog luck, best wishes and greatings from Lithuania.

[mkelly5]

Excellent Arrangement Mr. Harris!--you elevated this song to a jazz masterpiece.

[mkelly5]

Excellent arrangement Mr. Harris! You transformed this song into a jazz masterpiece!

[haliaberlin1]

OMG i think i fall in love :) haha you guys are so awesome! congrats from mexico!

[saocb]

I love this jazz cover! And your voice is amazing too! Congratulations :)

[MrVictorClark]

Do you have an MP3 of this song available?

[swiftwatch]

Fantastic! Only 35,000 views? Ridiculous!!! And that 6th grader playing this song has like 28 million.... The world is so unfair.

Keep it up guys!!!

[kruszynka20a]

It's the best cover of that song I've ever heard. And I must say, if Lady Gaga sang it in that way, it would be much better. I'm very happy for what you did with this song. I'm very very impressed :D

[MrVictorClark]

You should try to do a jazz cover of The Devil Went Down to Georgia. I recently had the idea come to my head, and I bet you guys could do it very well.

[mayu7414]

so cool. do u have other videos of jazz version?

[bensharkey]

@mayu7414 I have a lot of Jazz Covers, but I'll try to do more Jazz versions of songs. Thanks!

[carloscastillo14]

@bensharkey hey i like your voice! i love it jajajajajjajajaja i sing too!! jajajajjajajaja do you have make some castings?

[HarmoniaHattu]

I think Paparazzi is a fine song and I sincerely _do_ like the original but gotta say this one is still a lot better! I'd never have believed you could turn this song jazzy in a way as good as this..! Though it's not perfect...it's really groovy! You've got the talent! Just keep on playing&providing us more music like this.B)

[KariP721]

great version i like it soo much better. WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY better! this version is the one that should be on the radio all the time XD

[DiamondScharijn]

woow this version is cool 

[FilmsByDanielleLisa]

I wish that music on the radio today was just like the way this was sung...love it!

[super0810ling]

i think the vocal's voice can be softer n' smoother, anyway nice job!

[wewmole32]

The next Richard Cheese?

[ttay1122]

that. was. AWESOME. I love your interpretation!!!! thats talent just for the arrangement!

[bizzare1bizzare]

It is my dream to be in a jazz band. It is so much fun, but unfortunately I am playing on my own now. Too hard to find buddies in my county. Anyway, Jazz is the best! :P

[lildavid0541]

i caught myself singing this jazz version myself earlier xD. its amazing

[karmi32]

I love your version man! :) :)

[SpiritRe]

Hey Ben. I must admit I am no fan of Lady Gaga. But your jazz version brings just good mood.;-) Greetings from Berlin.

[25ekim05]

JAZZ love it!

[viire2]

I Agree It`s soo good..i love jazz & love what you have done with the song:) (Y)(Y)
