Benson Boone THEN and NOW From American Idol Dropout to VMA WINNER!

[@joylong8897]

❤❤ love him! This is wonderful to hear about him. Had just read how he'd never sung. Has a natural talent. Happy for him to share his singing to us. Hopefully stays true to himself. Has a wonderful personality too. Blessed ❤

[@thomasgriffith2953]

He's certainly got talent. Just hope he keeps his feet firmly planted on the ground and doesn't let all this fame go to his head. Stay humble. 😉

[@suzettemeyer3523]

Never forsake your roots, dear!!! Tread careful, choose to stay good and properly alive, and my very best wishes! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LeisaBekkers]

I love how humble, personable, and genuine he is. I think that growing up conforted by four sisters and loving christian parents and family have given him so much humble confidence. So blesed and a fantastic voice.....congratulation Benson .

[@terrymcguire2995]

As a 51 yr old man, someone who is well outside of the demographic of Benson Boone fans, his energy performing live is contagious & he is a fantastic showman! I have attended two of this concert with my 12 yr old daughter and love his music!

Go Dad GO!

Music has no age limits.

[@JuliaGulia1979]

I am just an old 45yr old lady who saw this Benson Boone guy perform Beautiful things on the today show a couple months ago. I had never seen or heard of him before. Blown away. No one like him. Has a Taylor swift like charisma. Now that I have heard his story, I love him, I hope he stays grounded and true to himself.

[@elouise5593]

Probably has better morals than her, if he has stayed true to his faith.

​@@elouise5593why would you use their comment to try and tear her down?

[@Mike_Spor]

I’m happy for him. When I was growing up, I thought I was going to hit the charts, I worked so hard and did my best. But never made it, obviously. First long haul was 1991 to 96. Then again, in 1999 to 2012… I’m 52 now….I haven’t lost hope, thank God guitar and old people still getting respect and the youth cool with it. One more try!!!

[@paulastarnes8277]

I love his sound. His performance and everything about him as an entertainer.

[@kathybarton2177]

He’s absolutely incredible. What a talent!

[@janeayozie8943]

I love benson Boone and his song that called in the stars still hits so hard ❤

[@tlrmd4you]

Good for you benson Boone!! Monroe is a pretty small town, but I absolutely love this guy and his songs!! Go dude!!!

[@elouise5593]

It's not that small, though! I have been there many times.

[@joanaandre5981]

I follow him since american idol he is so good!

[@KWalt]

He’s like a modern day Freddy Mercury! So good!

[@GalacticPenguins69]

Nope he sounds nothing like Freddie not even close but Benson's vocal technique in the original recording of beautiful things sounds exactly like Kurt Cobain in Heart Shaped Box with all those distorted notes that are bad for your vocal cords

[@BarryPannell]

Timothee Chalamet grew a mustache and started a singing career?

[@dethsgreetings]

[@EvieJudge]

6:18 I almost broke my damn table, BENSON IS MINE NOT MAGGIES

[@fanceym2770]

"so sorry he's taken"💀 To all the delulus out there 😂

[@pamelahall350]

I hope he stays the same

[@sadomoreno5829]

What is this 1970, shave that mustache lol

[@user-hn1sw4cf7x]

Wow. Never under estimate a Diddy party again.

[@elouise5593]

A Diddy party?

[@EmilyTheBestie14]

What's that have to do with this video 💀

[@MusiciLoveYouuu]

Industry plant

[@9fa4108f]

damn, and they already forced him into being effeminate. I guess that's the price for the fame

[@Mr.EdThetalkingHorse]

Stay away from Taylor Swift. She hangs with P. Diddy

[@badgumby9544]

Today's music all sounds the same. Lame.

[@Jellylikesilica]

Knock it off! American Idol IS the reason why he blew up regardless of the fact that he dropped out that audition is what gave him the massive exposure that he needed which is now responsible for his current success so just stop it Dude, you know you owe everything to American Idol 🙄

[@elouise5593]

It might have given him exposure, but there are many who made it into the top 3 on AI and faded from sight. Only maybe 1% of his success came from there.

[@louiserodrigues2069]

@@elouise5593 right? Like idk what this person used lol but he could just have disappeared and never made success, but he is just growing up more and more because of his talent, good songs, good album, etc. I didn't even know he was in American Idol when I first heard his songs.
