    This gives me hope. His broadway debut was as a lead! A LEAD! He is truly an inspiration.

    How can a mere mortal have not only such an inhumanly glorious voice but also such a wholly beautiful face?
    Anyway, guess I'm straight now, oops.

    Ben's voice really makes this but I just can't get over what an amazing song this is. It's in my head even when it's not. I'm like, one mental breakdown from getting the sheet music tattooed across my back.

    Dad was there through my childhood, strong and stern
    Teaching me how to stand tall what to learn
    He said
    "walk it off know you can
    Stand your ground, be a man
    Real men keep on fighting till they die"
    Oh now I know I was wrong
    You broke down, you weren’t strong
    Everything you told me was a lie
    I don’t know why oh
    You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do
    Well I saw what you did. I’ve been doing it too
    Guess the winner called dad
    Is a loser called you
    And I think you’ll agree oh
    You’re just like me
    My mother said be a good guy
    Speak your mind
    Settle down with a good girl, sweet and kind
    She said, "hold the door, show you care
    Treat her right, son beware
    A lady never lets you see her shame."
    Oh now I see in your eyes
    All your secrets and your lies
    You are not the lady that you claim
    I’m so ashamed oh
    You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do
    Well I saw you what did. I’ve been doing it too
    Now I wish I’ve been warned I’d grow up to be you
    'cause I think you’ll agree you’re just like me
    Every day parents all of them try breaking the cycle, living a lie
    Everyday people, playing the part, right from the start
    (Benonce Riff)
    You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do
    Well I saw you what did. I’ve been doing it too
    I will take your mistakes and make them anew
    And I think you’ll agree oh
    You’re just like me
    You said to do as I say; don’t do as I do
    Well I saw you did. I’ve been doing it too
    Don’t mean that you failed, 'cause I became you
    Somehow I never knew, but now I can see oh
    You’re just like me

    I'm just watching this for the first time in a long time and does anyone else realize that he's singing this with music in front of him, which means it's likely that he might be seeing the music for maybe the first or second time??? And those riffs off the cuff!?!?!?!? GOSH HE'S SO TALENTED.

    Is the guy behind him's hair red, or is it just the lighting?
