Benson Boone - "Beautiful Things" | 2024 VMAs

[@tjr622]

But how cool is it for him to perform on the same stage as Katy Perry the judge that told him he was gonna be big one day

[@lornahorwood2928]

I never thought of that , that’s so true!!! So proud of him

[@b19wing]

Yeah how he selfishly left American Idol so cool

[@Mazeral_Videos]

He left so that he could build his career. And spoiler alert, he did just that. He didn’t “selfishly” leave. He could’ve easily won and he almost did. He deserves this and he wanted people to see him for his talent not because TV made him look good.

He's like a cross between Freddie Mercury / stage presence and Tyler Perry of Aerosmith / voice. Benson is amazing!!!

[@Andrew_cp1]

Notice that almost every performance at the VMAs used excessive playback, while this guy delivered the rawest vocals of the night with acrobatics, while still sustaining very difficult high notes.

[@Okwhateverloll]

Yeah, I liked his performance the best! It was live and authentic.

[@AnimeKitte]

What's insane is he didn't even know he could sing well until just a few years ago. 😂

[@yalettcolmenares1540]

I think so too. Almost everyone used the background playback to support themselves (like Sabrina who I think didn't show off her fabulous voice) but he showed that you can sing excellently.

[@lizanya6433]

probably because all he did was sit, stand, and walk around for the majority of the performance. the TWO backflips were pretty cool but like… come on. other people were doing choreography.
