Ben Folds - Video Killed The Radio Star | New Year's Eve, Sydney 2018

[@leokimvideo]

A song that's rarely ever performed live. Not even the Buggles did until many years after is was a hit.

[@SeanRainey]

Ben is so fekking good. The Ben Folds Five cover of this with Rob and Darren is EXCELLENT.

[@terrencemiltner1005]

The cover I never knew I needed. Thanks Ben

[@davidmcgeoch9387]

Sounds excellent.

[@kpad8050]

Super ! From India ! ❤️

[@jonahrank]

Who are the folks in the backing band?

[@harry_mair]

I would also like to know

[@michaelmcdonald3275]

Not an easy song to do .. ok for a karaoke night....

[@harryg2453]

[@user-Gangwon]

[@erroldsouza3632]

Buggles Ben!

[@marsglorious]

Put the stupid phones away and enjoy the experience!

[@annmcalhatton]

You hacked the hell out of that one !! Thanks 🤮

[@davidmcgeoch9387]

Maybe go and play some music rather than sitting around criticising others.

[@jonwoodmass2849]

My poor ears

[@Rocky-ls2tc]

First

[@jonjonc12]

Video Killed the Radio Star is my all time favorite song, but this version is kinda torturous to listen to. The whole band is a little off. The Buggles version is far better!

[@durango8882]

Singing flat🤷🏻‍♂️

[@averydaymond1560]

That’s the genius of it. They’re making sure you appreciate the original much more.

[@danielhkhk7283]

No one can beat the version of The Buggles. One of the best popsongs ever.

[@evanclark88]

Almost everything about this annoyed me. Why is Ben Folds hailed as some kind of genius singer/song writer? I don’t even dislike BFF, but I’m definitely not thinking “I need to hear this amazing vocal talent cover other songs”.

[@verticalhamburger9517]

It's more the fact that he can sing and play complex piano lines at the same time, that and the fact he writes most of the crap

[@Nocgirl]

Just no.

[@Kilroy_5150]

It's a good attempt but i'm just not feeling the energy.

[@gspianoguitar4369]

Jesus that is poor. That sounds like a crap band down at the Dog and Duck who get boo'd off after 20 minutes ..shocking

[@eneedham789]

Totally agree. It’s too high for Ben’s voice for a start. Band wasn’t very tight and rehearsed. Sounds like they didn’t practise this at all. Just terrible. Wow.

[@eneedham789]

What the fuck was that horrible dissonance at the end?

[@MikeEwer]

@@eneedham789 Standard Ben Folds awesomeness.

[@krisn8820]

I expected more. This sucked.

[@taharbesri8000]

Fire the sound engineer.

[@Cascroft-lp6ir]

Dreadful

[@Day1onDay1]

That's a pretty good word for this ya got there!

[@john-lenin]

This is painful to listen to.

[@john-lenin]

He has a terrible voice.
