Ben Folds - Alice Childress

Me playing Alice Childress by Ben Folds Five. Ignore the dodgy singing. Think I've worked the piano bit out quite well.

Good qu bigpants89 - Shopan/France List/Rubonstein???

I don't really like commenting on youtube but this video is so nauseating.

[bigpants89]

As for Defn28, it's people like you who caused the demise of youtube, giving false praise to encourage those less fortunate than yourself. This instant fame culture that we live in is a result of your kind. Oh, and "command of the keyboard"? Who did you think you are - Shopan or something?

[bigpants89]

Well said MegaJobbyjabber! After all, there are hundreds of cases of people choosing to try and disguise their hideous features in order that their mediocre voice will shine through - Lady gaga and Stuart Townend to name a couple. Of course, you then get the opposite sometimes - those who can't stop looking at themselves eg Andrea Bocelli, Stevie Wonder.

I fully endorse the views of bigpants89 - he/she talks sense. Those hands seem so feminine - it's so hard to tell whether the performer (if you can call them that) is male or female. I'd hazard a guess at an outrageously gay man (probably also repugnantly ugly too since we can't see his, no doubt, hideous face).

I'd also like to add that i listened to the Mindy version and i can categorically state that this is much better in my opinion. Mindy's is good, she puts her own spin on it but this sounds much more like the original to me and i think you have a better command of the keyboard

Well done, i really admire anyone who can play the piano and you play very well. The singing isnt that bad man, it's pretty good. I love this song and i dont think for a minute that you murdered it and dont pay attention to the negative shit, you know the green eyed monster is around all the time :)
