I'm quite torn between whether I like Ben or Sam better as the soloist. Both are absolutely brilliant!

Very nice performance, fellas. Loved it!

I think, since the song called for a Baritone tone, Ben is definitely more suited to the solo, since Sam is more like a tenor with his ability to be able to reach those really high notes. Sam is definitely more talented, more amazing, but Ben is the better soloist for the song.

In fact I think I like this better than the original =$

I remember finding this song back in 2009, and watching this video over again now, I realize this has to be one of my favorite videos of all time.
