I ran into him performing a few times in the Paris metro and every time stopped and listened. I'd be late for work or meeting friends but it was always worth it. Everyone stared unblinking: it was surreal to see and hear such a performer for free and in such proximity with thousands of other people walking by not recognizing his amazing talents.

Guy got booed out of the hall, and Mr. Clementine explained that he shall never just play music on order, because thats what he did when he was on the streets, and now he is selling out venues. More tears.... I love this guy

It was eerily beautiful wasn’t it! I think how stripped down it sounded with only his voice and the simple and powerful piano accompaniment really made the song so arresting.

He has the same presence as Nat King Cole....very mellow and enchanting. He performs like Nina Simone....as though a theater troupe is behind him acting out scenes to a play he's written. Beautifully performed. This is the first I'm hearing of him. Now excuse me whilst I take to the web and search other performances.

If I had but a cup of his talent I would have chosen a different path in life. Nothing about BenJamin Clementine is common. Nothing. How does such creativity go unnoticed? Yes this is just "music" but it is also something much much more powerful - Is it poetry; is it theater; story telling? What ever it is this performance is unique, original and performed which such passion you can't help but be amazed. If Alice Smith, Laura Mvula, Lianna La Havas, Micheal Kiwanuka and Benjamin Clementine represent what musically awaits the industry then i can not wait.

Ridiculously good; unique presence in music - feels like he's only got one foot in this world, and his thinking is elsewhere. Had good fortune to see him at Somerset House last summer and he created a beautiful atmosphere. Leaving that concert was like leaving the cinema after a thought provoking film, then reconnecting with the outside world - having had it on pause for a while and forgetting it existed...
