You have to check out Ben Jelen.
He's an amazing new artist, Michelle, told me about him, I just joined his website and I'd like you guys/gals to also do the same thing, It would be really wonderful and beneficial to you and Ben Jelen.
You really must check out his single, its really new, "come on" his cd comes out on March 9, 2004.
:wink:
Hopefully there isn't already a thread about this, if there is, I'm sorry.
I hate using the "search" button, not my thing.
Thanks,
Amanda-Lynette :razz:
-
since Michelle recommended him, I decided to check it out...
he's good! I'm impressed.
You can stream the video from the website:
http://maverick.com/benjelen/
he looks like a young Steven Tyler or Johnny Rzeznek. :lol:
-
She's a smart girl.
if you join you can say either her (Candyzdandy) or me AmandaPanda87 recommended you!
It would be helpful to the both of us.
Thank you Kevin for checking him out. I really appreciate it.

yummy... like the whole ppl coming out of the piano deal.

I think that Vanessa kind of lead the way for piano players right now in the music industry. She was not really the "first" because Tori Amos is an oldie who plays the piano, but Nessa, when she came out all these other people did, or are doing so now.
Its great.
I love the piano, I really do, its soothing and beautiful.
Manda :)

Come on
And finally the silence,
looking out, looking back across the sky,
Trying to find a meaning,
knowing that I just left it all behind
Still I smell a lingering softness
Where did she go, how did she go, I wanna know
I wanna know that she'll be coming here to me
Come on, without you I'll never feel the love inside
of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on
Thinking back before her,
I never knew the meaning of alone
Still the flag is feeling foreign,
I live the day to escape into a phone
Speaking of a world not real then
where did she go how did she go, I wanna know
I wanna know that she'll be coming here to me
Come on...
She's coming, She's coming here to me, I'm needing,
desiring to kiss her now, I'm living for her,
breathing for her, singing for her fairytale.
She'll Hear You (by ben jelen AND Zack Halbrecht)
The years flash by, today melts to yesterdays memories,
Time's holding us tight
I'm looking back to remember the days we said we'd never say goodbye.
And now you're gone, my hands melt to yesterday's melodies
time's pushing along,
still looking back to hold on to the days we said we'd never say goodbye.
Sometimes I feel like we've been running too far from the truth
You know I'm tired of hearing 'another day another time'
all this senseless waiting won't fill these dark empty rooms,
why won't you come home?
I wish, I feel, I can't believe I've seen these nights
pass by, those hands, what happened to those eyes, my
eyes seduced by that smile that crumbles away, washes
away those tears, let tears roll by, she'll hear you
cry, yeah she'll hear you.
sometimes I feel...
you know I hate to say it, but since you've gone I know that
even though I'm feeling low, I guess I'm feeling free.
We can live our own existence 'cause I know these
dreams will bring you back to me.
I'm dreaming a world with you, I wish the night was longer
I'm chasing the way we were, I wish that I could catch us.
I'm feeling your hand in mine, I wish I'd held it closer
I know that I will soon find, I know that she can hear me say
She'll hear you, these dreams will bring you back to me.
Give It All Away
Swinging round in circles, looking for the way,
Fleeing from the time when she wanted me to stay.
My world is swirling round, this time I know it well,
Our love is coming down again.
Then I realize inside me, I’ve had myself all wrong,
This time I know for certain, I’ve never been that strong
The moment you remember, those times you stop to think,
Our love will come undone again.
But with demons sitting at my side,
An angel’s come to ask me why
And slowly I give up inside to say
To feel alive, I’d give it all away
Destructive words to make it so, but none of this is you you know
Another year, another week, another set of summer sheets
Another ‘we should hang out again soon’
Another drink, another kiss
And with demons sitting at my side,
Another angel asks me why
And it doesn’t take too much to say
To feel alive, I’d give it all away
Again, and again and again
Then she’s sitting at my side
An angel’s come to ask me why
And it takes nothing to say
To feel alive, I’ll give it all away.
Rocks
Strokes of dark, a brush of light,
I watch you bring your canvas into light.
oh I know thats how you see the world,
I know that you see anything you like.
But now I'm doubting me,
I know I shouldn't be but
I've been down, I've been down
Cause it was love wasn't it?
Well its killing me not having it.
Its hard to not remeber,
forget its not the same,
when still you come and tell me
'sorry I came without an invitation-just wanted to be loved.'
The last perfect thing,
you know that you bring me back to life.
On and on and on and on,
I think about you all day long,
I need you to be stronger.
cause now I'm doubting me -
I know I shouldn't be but
I've been down, I've been down
cause it was love...
yeah, I hear the sound,
and I know that you'll be
coming round - you know I'll wait for you.
oh love, its killing me not having it.
I need you to
be stronger, don't wanna hear the sound,
'cause rocks upoun my window mean that you're coming round.
And how could I resist when I think you're still in love.
How can I move on when I wanna be in love with you.

Its almost impossible not to like Ben.. he's talented, as down to earth as it gets, and has a quite scrumptous accent ;)
You may have heard "come on" from AOL or seen him perform on MTV for the first time, but if you haven't, i really suggest you check him out,
Ben plays Piano, Violin, and Guitar, and posts on his message boards regularly, so thats kinda nice, and gives you a reason to check out his site =) www.benjelen.com
on his site theres a media player where you can hear some of his songs that will be on "Give it All Away" his debut album that debuts in late March.

i want to hear about SF tricia!
even though you're like.. at it right now probably
weee im excited!
i cant wait to see ben again!
tell us how it went!
ooh and pictures tooooo
oh i should have asked you to say somethign to him for me, hopefully he remmebers me lol
oh well too late now
-
LOL...I just got home
The show was incredible!
My friend Rene and I were the first ones in line (cause we're dorks like that). At like 6:45, Ben came off the escalator. It seemed like a few people noticed it was him, but not many. I said hi and he smiled at me. *insert fan girl moment* After that, who should show up but Tyler Hilton. Rene and I were both like "Was that Tyler Hilton?!?!?" By the time we realized it, he was gone. LOL Right around 7, we were all invited in. The meet and greet was done right away. Since Rene and I were first, we just took pics...we had nothing for him to sign until after they gave us CD samplers which was after we were done. So anyway, we sat down and goofed off for a little while and then noticed that Tyler Hilton had come back in. We decided to go "get some water" *cough*MeetTyler*cough* and we somehow ended up talking to Tyler as he was leaving for his soundcheck. We went back in the room thing and sat down.
Ben opened with "Give It All Way". He then played "She'll Hear You" followed by "Come On". The last two songs were done on guitar: "Free She'll Be" and "Setting of the Sun". It was amazing how incredible his voice sounded. I'm sure we've all been to shows where the singer sounds like total crap and you can tell they've edited the voice for the album. Not so with Ben. His voice was beautiful and flawless. He is so sweet and unassuming. I can only hope he keeps his wonderful attitude in the future when everyone starts screaming his name.
Thank you to Ben and Maverick for giving us the opportunity to see such an amazing show!

I had a Ben-related blonde moment yesterday!
I have some left over birthday, so yesterday, I thought I should spend it, so I told my mom I wanted to go get a CD. She can't, so I go with my dad after visiting my Grandma in the hospital. We go to the hospital and I'm looking for the CD I want : Ben Jelen - Give It All Away. "It came out March 14th, dad, I don't know why they don't have it. Best Buy normally have new CDs!" I go home, go to benjelen.com..... March 30th...
Thought I'd share. :)
-
You can buy it for Ipod now. It's been out for a while now...
-
Yeah but I think I'll just wait for the whole cd to come out.

I'm excited...everday gets closer to the big day...March 30~~~

Awww Gina! That sucks! Poor planing on Rocks part, though. . .
Shame they're going to waste. . .
BUT now you can get up at 4 again to watch the Yankees!
-
Well, I asked Rocks a few days ago about them, cuz I had emailed him about...a week or so ago w/no response so finally I got an email back 2 days ago saying he sent them, and I got them today. It's kind of my fault, but I had no way of knowing if they'd be here on time or not... and being sick- I guess I couldn't have gotten there neway.
Yeah but it sucks they're going to waste, no one can use them now :?
They're just gonna go in my scrapbook I suppose
I'm soooo bummed :(
-
Still, if they were sent right when you asked . . .
What's the postmark . . .ehh nevermind why worry about things you can't change.
:cry:
-
Hmm.. lemme look...YESTERDAY :x ugh
I'm just so bummed. . . I could be on my way to see him right now :(
-
lol Gina I just realized the link you posted is from his official site, wow I must've been way out of it last night, haha
I was actually trying to find a song called "Christine" Scotty told me about, dangit I should have asked him for it lol.. ohh well next time he is on aim i'll ask him, or if Scotty see's this maybe he can pm me *hint* ;)
-
You won't like it :wink:

Well, next time I talk to her I'll ask her about it.
oh, thanks! if you get a chance to, but if not that's okay because i was going to try emailing her from my other email and seeing if that would work. I replied to the email she sent the streat team, so maybe it was just the replying that didn't work? who knows :?

rocks was away for a little while so maybe her inbox just got too full.

hey, i have a question -- for anyone who's part of the street team, rocks recently sent out an email saying that you can buy his cd, with his autograph, with stickers, as a pack online. I want to get this, but mom won't pay for anything online by credit card, and they won't let us pay by money order. SO, i was wondering if someone could order this for me and then i could send you the money? :-/ just wondering.....
-
oh my god? are you serious?! I totally want that, can you someone forward the e-mail to me or something, because I will definately defiantately buy that!!!!!
Manda
Please Please Please, Centenok@sbcglobal.net!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about not being on sooner the internet here at my hotel was down.
My dad said that he wouldn't order til we got back and that means Wednesday and I don't know if you can still order them then? If so, we will otherwise, we can't. I'm sorry.... I'm bummed toooo :cry:
ALBUM COMES OUT TOMARROW THO!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D
-
I was bummed. I was planning on getting some money for Easter to buy it! But today, I found out that I tied for 1st place in the NCAA Bracket thing. If you split it, I end up with about $40, which should be enough to buy the CD. I might also buy Ursh's new cd.
-
it's ok gina! I don't know if you can still order, i'm assuming so, but if not it's ok! Wednesday I'll be in NYC all day, so let me know on Thursday what you find out!
-
Most definately will!
*TOMARROW!*

I went to the Sam Goody thing last night cause Jessica invited me and told me about it! Thanks Jess!
Due to work and family friends being over I wasn't able to get there until 7pm (right when it was supposed to start). I went to buy the CD and get a wristband and while waiting in line some guy tapped me on the shoulder and walked by saying "Good choice!". I'm a new fan... and at that point I only had a lil idea of what Ben Jelen looked like. So I wondered if it was, but Jessica told me it was just his bass player (who is really hot btw!). I got the CD and then went out and met up with Jessica and Stephanie for the concert. He was really incredible! I was blown away! His songs as so beautiful and he delivers them which such passion! And he is SO talented! He played the piano, guitar and violin all perfectly! I was hooked last night! haha. Then we got in line to meet him. He was really sweet! I got my CD cover signed. I told him my friend recrutted me to come, and he definitely made a new fan that night! He smiled and was like "aw! thanks!" :D
Pictures to come soon! Just gotta get them uploaded! but i'll only be able to post links since the picture system changed and my host program doesnt give me links in the right format :(
-
my pictures:
just a warning, they're bad quality and have a girls head in like every picture, haha. So don't expect much:

The waste byproducts of bubblegum pop...
Jelenbeans, Jolly Branchers, Mandy's Candy.
At least a Nessaholic has a more adult conotation. Nothing candy coated, its addictive and will probably kill us in the end. *dies waiting for new CD*

I got my promo pack today! I'm going to order the fan pack tonight!
and i'm going shopping with my friend ally in syracuse this coming tuesday at one of the biggest malls in the country, so i'm def. going to do some promoting there!
-
Woot woot, Carousel Mall! :D Loooove it!
-
UGH I just went to order the cd, and now it's saying we have to pay by credit card! So i'm emailing customer service again to complain and see if they can help me. bitches :evil:
G- YES my favorite mall! I hardly ever get to go there. I'm searching for a prom dress.....yeah i kind of procrastinated :-P OH, and i'll reiterate this again - me and my friend allison are on a date hunt - so if yall know some hot desperate guys - hook some sistahs up :wink: :wink: :razz:
-
I go there once every month or two usually... :wink: Aww its ok, I JUST got my dress while I was in Texas haha.
And I'll see if I can find you some hotties for prom dates... though my situation with my prom date isnt all too well either (though i do have one.. blah)
-
LOl! well i have a lot of ideas for prom dresses, but the one i really really reaaaaaally want from Rampage.com i can only buy with credit card, which my mom won't do. So i'm going to see if i can find one to take its place.
Haha if i go stag that will be fine. I didn't go to prom last year cuz i was a loser, so i'm all about having fun this year. No fancy-could-be-wedding-dress for me :-P
-
teehee I just joined the Ben Jelen forums today (as Gina already noticed :P)
His music is growing so much on me, I <3 it. Right now my favourite is Christine,- I can't stop listening to it! - closely followed by She'll Hear You.
So what do you actually have to do to become a Jelenbean? :?:
-
Mine is "Give It All Away". The piano after the drum breaks in is uber-catchy. I forget what it's called, but number 8 sounds like the Crank Yanker theme song. I think it's 8....
-
You just have to ask someone, Rachel made mine (Leikela) you can email her or somethin, she's nice, I'm sure she'd do it for ya ricardo_is_mine@yahoo.ca
Also... you have to check and make sure the name of the jelenbean that you wanna be isn't already taken from this list http://www.freewebs.com/rae/jbeanlist.htm
:D
-
oh, I want to be the lacrosse Jelenbean...is there any way you can have someone make one of those for me Gina? please oh please?!
I'll love you forever and ever and ever!
:heart:
Manda
-
I heard that one song, Come On, I think it's called. Eh. It was okay; the piano was a little bit Sims-like, you know? It wasn't good for whatever style he was going for, I don't think. I'm pretty sure I thought the lyrics were queer, too. Hold on.
. . .
I don't remember if I did or not. :\ But, since we are CERTAINLY on the subject, I just want everyone to know that I just realized 'The Scientist' by Coldplay is one of the greatest songs in the history of the universe.
-
I GOT MY BEN JELEN SIGNED CD BOOKLET AND STICKER PACK...OH YEAH AND OF COURSE THE CD!!!

edit: I'm tryin to figure out where to get tickets... can't find them on ticketmaster.
I checked out Northern Light's webpage, and they don't have tickets up for sale yet.
i know what you mean! I'm hoping that dad says he'll take us, I'll call him on Monday (he's gone for the weekend) and see what he says!

Awesome, thanks Jess! I'm curious where this Syracuse show is cuz it says TBD. BLAH! The shows aren't that far away, they better hurry it up :wink:
-
i know! i'm wondering if it's going to the be the same place where Rooney played, but i'm not sure.
-
:D Alls I know is that they said the shows are "intimate" so... its gotta be a smaller place. I love smaller venues.
(so maybe we can meet him! ahhh 8) )
-
I lovvvvvvvvvvve the chorus. :X :X :X
The drums are whacked-out, yo. (awesome)
EDIT: It would probably help if I specified which song I was talking about . . . "Come On" is it. Yeah, 'cause I think I said I didn't like the song in a previous post, but . . . yeah.

-
i feeeeeeeeeeel loved lol
well yeah thats cool
-
ahh I FINALLY got his cd today! OMG it is so good so far! I am only on the 3rd song but still! haha
And they only had 2 copies left! My friend said that they were getting 12 on Thursday (today) so his albums are selling out fast!
It was so funny. When I went to buy the album one of the other guy workers were there also & looked to see what album I got & the ladie was like "yeah he's supposed to be pretty good, Ben Jelen" & the guy was all "jelen like a felen" then to me "are you jelen like a felen" lmao I was all "yup" & started cracking up, lol
-
YAY! It's an incredible album!!!
and please tell me he said it "Yellin" and not "Gelin" haha
-
My favorite songs are: Come On, Give It All Away, and Rocks
i don't really care for Stay or Wicked Little Town - but those are the only two. all the other ones are awesome!
-
my fav are rocks and criminal.
i think im the only one that likes criminal alotttttt to be a fav
-
aaaah it's a good thing i'm a loser :-P because i just got an email from rocks and the first 10 people who responded to her got free tickets and a special meet n greet pass - so i hope i'm one of the first ten! It's a pair so gina if you read this before i talk to you and i'm one of the first ten you'll have a free ticket! *crosses fingers*
-
rocks is the bomb.
even though she told me I did have a show...it's just 5 hours away.
Smart ass.
-
lol - well i haven't gotten an email back yet - so i dunno - but i hope so!
-
YAY! It's an incredible album!!!
and please tell me he said it "Yellin" and not "Gelin" haha
Yeah it is! My favorite songs are definitely rocks, & christine! I had come on & christine stuck in my head all day!
Oh & he said Gelin lol
-
lol - well i haven't gotten an email back yet - so i dunno - but i hope so!
Ahhh please tell me that we'll get tickets!
edit: Jess I sent an email to Rocks again, and also posted on the BJMB cuz you can do that too... but you only get lamenated passes not tickets. So if we don't get the email thing, we can atleast get the passes I think.
-
i still haven't heard anything - but i don't think that anyone else has as well.
i posted on the official board too but there are about 9879387593845 different RSVP threads for the Clifton Park show :-P I didn't know so many people were going!
-
haha well theres like 10 threads about it, I didn't know if I was supposed to make a new thread like everyone else did or reply in one of theirs so I just made my own cuz it seemed like thats what everyone else was doin, lol. *fingers crossed that we atleast get one of them*
-
lol no worries! I'm pretty sure i was one of the first 10 since i pretty much recieved it right after she sent the emails - but there is a chance that i wasn't. even so, tickets are only 10$ so that's not a lot of money anyways. I'm more concerned with the passes :-P
-
yeah, definately. I'll pay for the tickets, I just really really wanted the passes!!!
-
yeah, definately. I'll pay for the tickets, I just really really wanted the passes!!!
Me too! *crosses fingers*
-
Man you guys are lucky! I wanna see Ben! :cry:
-
My favorite songs are: Come On, Give It All Away, and Rocks
i don't really care for Stay or Wicked Little Town - but those are the only two. all the other ones are awesome!
omg I am SO starting to love wicked little town!
-
I was just looking through Teen Vogue article, in which he discusses the similarity between him and Nessa I copied it up for you guys if you wanna read:
"Ben Jelen wants to be sure to distinguish himself as a singer-songwriter when his album, Give It All Away, come out on Maverick this month. "They want me to be like the male Vanessa Carlton," the 24-year-old says of his handlers. "They need a gimmick for it to make sense to them, so they're like, 'Ben, Piano Boy!' And I'm like, 'But guys I also play guitar and violin.'" He may have worked with producers-du-jour The Matrix and hung out with label Alanis Morisette, but Ben claims his life hasn't that much. And despite having the requiste rocker crush on Winona Ryder, Ben says that he's single and open to finding love. "I really love being close to someone," he says, and then reveals an ulterior motive. "There's always plenty to write about in those situations."
xoxoxox
-
ooh thanks for sharing!
-
Nope . . . Best songs: Come On, Christine, and Falling Down
-
Does anybody have a pic. where Ben is playing the violin??? I'm covering my school binder with Ben Jelen pics :D I want one where he's playing the guitar too! That'd be cool!
I'm giving into peer presure... I'm a freakin Benaholic now. So now on my binder I will have all Ben Jelen... & well my signed single from Evan & Jaron but still people will know I'm obsessed with Ben, haha
-
I know that holly has a few - or was it jess? i can't remember which one but one of them has some where he is :-P
-
ooh thanks for sharing!
You're welcome Jess :) I haven't actually heard any of his music at all, I really must because he seems so, so talented! The picture in the article was mega hot too! hehe

I hope so too gina! I might sneak it in my purse with my camera and stuff. though i'm sure it won't be a problem, my friends that go there take pictures all the time and never get anything taken from them
-
:D Idk if I wanna bring my digital or just a disposable camera cuz... my digital can only take like 16 pics. Hmmmm
-
:D Idk if I wanna bring my digital or just a disposable camera cuz... my digital can only take like 16 pics. Hmmmm
I just talked to my friend Emily and she said that they do allow cameras at Northern lights, so i'd bring a disposable one - that way you know nothing will happen to it and you'll have more pictures to take
-
ahh I can't stop listening to my Ben Jelen cd! *dies*

Sit infront of me, turn around you'll see... i'm everything you'd want, all you'd ever need. :wink:

Jess, let me know if you got it too.. check yer ben jelen team email addy!
-
wtf?!? I didn't get anything....i responded right when she sent me the email and there's nothing in my yahoo inbox or streat team inbox.....
-
Are you serious?!
Well I think mine was just sent like right before I got it... so I'm gunna keep my fingers crossed because if you can definately go you have to respond to the email- so maybe someone won't. I would just send her an email again saying if someone can't go you definately can
-
i just sent her an email asking her why i didn't recieve one - i don't want to sound whiny or anything but it just really bugs me why i didn't when i know i sent it in well before other people did - you know? gah
-
I know you did, wait... did you send another email besides the time we both sent one that one day? because I did... maybe she got annoyed with my emails
but jessss you have to get a pass tooooo! :(
-

-
U HAVE TO GET A PAAAAAAAAAASSS!!!!!
keep buggin her. IM her. email her. talk to her on the boards
i don't want to be overbearing about it or anything - i'll still go whether i get a pass or not - i just don't understand why i'm not getting one
-
oh but did she say why?
-
no - she hasn't emailed me about it and everyone else who's getting one has gotten their emails - so i'm assuming that i didn't get one
-
hey laura i added you you can add me if you want :-)
Okay! I'll add ya! :D
-
Oh & how do I get the chance to get passes? Because you know I'm already going to a billion concerts, but I can probably convince my mom to take me to a Ben concert if I like got a pass to meet him, then she'd have to take me, hehe
Can you guys give me a link to where I can sign up & stuff please?
-

Ok, so here's how we got the tickets and passes: we're part of the streat team, and the girl who runs it, rocks, sent out an email to everyone who's part of the streat team about three concerts (the norther lights one, and two others, i think connecticut and one other one) and if you were one of the first 10 people to respond you got free tickets and passes.
i don't know if she's going to do that for any other ones though - but she might!
-

Boston is the other one. I'm not sure either if she'll do it for all the shows, but from getting to know what rocks is like... she probably will do it for all of the shows :wink: We'll fill u in if we hear anything
-
rocks will do whatever she can to hook up as many fans as possible.
I've met her a couple of times. We talk on AIM alot. She's uber cool and wants nothing more than for all the fans to get hooked up.
She is limited by her employers (Maverick) though, so you do have to be understanding with her.
-
Yes, what Tricia said. If she should she'd hook all the great fans that help promote n things up but she can't but she does a great job with always coming through for atleast a bunch of lucky fans :)
-
she is greaaaaaat!!!! Rocks Rocks
-
I saw his video. Whatever fangirls, I'm not impressed.
Your not impressed that he can actually play the piano, play the violin, play the guitar, write his own music, & is actually talented? Well it takes a lot to impress you then huh? :roll:
-

*sigh* it's times like this laura, when you just have to say "too each his own" keith doesn't care what anyone else says, so it's no use in arguing.
anyways, i hope that rocks does a free ticket/m&g for a show you can go to!
-
Yeah if rocks does, do you think you could let me know please? Anywhere in Southern Cali I could see him, preferably San Diego or somewhere close to there!
Tho I'd probably have to wait till summer to see him :cry: since I'm already going to Wango Tango, & Madonna's opening night both this month, so I dunno. Maybe if something comes up *shrug*
-
SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY :D :D :D

SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY :D :D :D

Exactly, it's my opinion, Laura. I just don't care for him :roll:
-
Okay. It just seems like it takes a lot to impress you because he can play all these incredible instruments & is incredibly talented, I was just shocked when you said you weren't impressed lol. That's all I meant. But it is cool, it's your opinion. And I wasn't trying to argue, just being sarcastic...

OMG SO GOOOOOOOOD! i can't believe it! aaaah! freaking best night ever!
there weren't many people there, like 50 or so, so we were all up close to the stage! He was so good, he was sick though and was going to cancel but decided not too. He sounded pretty kick ass if i do say so myself for being sick! Aaaaah i keep thinking about it and being all happy :-P anyways i brought my recorder and got about 98% of the show taped, it cut out after the beginning of Come On, and then i didn't notice it stopped until the first part of Let It Be was done, but i switched the side so i got the other half of it taped.
He came out and sang "Stay" and "Wicked Little Town" on the piano, and then he played "Setting Sun" on the guitar and the violin at the very end. which by the way his violin is waaaayyy cool. Then he played "Revolution" which was awesome too! He went back to the piano and played "Give It All Away", "Falling Down" to which Gina screamed loudly too :-P "Come On", "Let It Be" which was amaaaazing and then "Criminal" which made me happy cuz that's what i put on my tshirt :-D
then he went off stage and the guy was like "are there any jelenbeans in the audience?" and he did a contest for the person with the most creative jelenbean name to get to announce Ben back on to stage to do an encore and we were all pointing to Gina, but some mom got it cuz it was mother's day. He came back out and played "Christine" and then added in "Slow Down" because his voice was feeling better, then played "She'll Hear You" which was awesome, and then "Rocks"!
It was so freaking awesome! we got to meet him afterwards! everyone rushed in line so we hung out till we were about the last ones in line (there were a few people behind us) so we could have more time to talk to him and stuff :-P
He was very impressed with Gina's jelenbean name, had a moment with her and called her beautiful, and then he signed stuff for me and we got a pic and i was like "wow you're like five feet taller than me" and i looked up and he was all smiling and laughing and i was all *melt* so i had a moment with him....aaaah so freaking awesome.
yeah so it was a kick ass night. Got two and a half hours of sleep, but hell it was so freaking worth it. :-D
-
YES what Jess said! Last night was absolutely amazing!!!!! I had the BEST TIME! Ben was incredible especially for being sick and he is absolutely the sweetest guy ever! :D ::sigh:: I was soo happy to meet him and talk to him and get autographs and pictures!

i knooowww. the internet kinda killed his record sales since it was really only the hard core, or at least anti downloading, fans that bought his cd.
i think he's recording in georgia, that's what he said in his last post. i'm trying to do everything in my power to get down there for the show, but i don't think it's going to work out :-/
-
i knooowww. the internet kinda killed his record sales since it was really only the hard core, or at least anti downloading, fans that bought his cd.
it wasnt the net, the net was the only thing working FOR him.
There was zero publicity on the part of the record company. I never once saw the video on TV or heard anything about him in the mass media.

this is true. but most people i know just downloaded his songs instead of buying his cd.
but yeah, maverick did just about nothing to promote him. he was on TRL once, which is good, and i know Rocks does a lot on the website, but outside of that i haven't seen a whoole lot of promo on him. hopefully things will be different for the second album.
-
from the myspace group:

Did anybody else besides me find it funny that they would use the word harmonizing?
yes, I must be more obsessed with Nessa than I thought
And I was just wondering what happened to Ben Jelen... I was gonna bump this thread to, so that's good to hear.
-
Let's hope the second album gets more publicity, Ben's really talented and more ppl need to see that. Stupid MAVERICK :?
-
sooo it looks like i am more than likely going to NYC to see him on Dec. 5th! he'll be playing new stuff - i'm excited to hear it!
-
*jealousy*
have fun Jess!
-
*jealousy*

I just got Give It All Away today. It's pretty good. I wish Revolution was on it.
-
Glad you like it, and yeah I love "Revolution" oh so much!

For some odd reason I hated his voice when I first heard him but now im hooked!
I love his music, Ive been listening to his cd for a while now without actually seeing what he looked like until a few minutes ago when I googled him and holy hell hes GOREGEOUS :oops:
Now I aspire to be Mrs Jelen lol, I know join the cue but ahh hes lovely.

-
I got his new "Rejected EP"! It's REALLY good! I was kinda surprised at how the main instrument seems to be guitar rather than piano though.
It has 5 songs:
Driver
Teenage Suburban Queen
Room 1023
Tell Me Everything
Baby Girl
I guess it's all the songs that were rejected by someone (Ben, Producer, etc), except for Baby Girl which is a new one (and my favorite!)
I think the songs are good... so if those are the rejected ones I cant wait to see which ones have made the album!
Here are the lyrics to "Baby Girl"! It's soooo pretty!
He wrote it shortly after his sister died :cry:
"Baby girl it’s time for waking
For your love we’ve been aching
So open your eyes
Dawn is breaking
See the whole new world
That’s been waiting
And in your dreams
Be reborn
Look through your sleep
Free your soul
You’ll never be left alone
You’ll always be here at home
We’ll be holding you together
We’ll remember how you shown
You’ll soon be on your own way
You’ll rise to a fresh new day
When you run in fields of flowers
You’ll recall from where you came
Daddy’s girl
No more crying
In strong arms
You’ll be lying
Mother to the child
You’ll be shining
Newborn spark of light
Soon arriving
And in her dreams
Where they kiss
From all of us
Tell her this
You’ll never be left alone
You’ll always be here at home
We’ll be holding you together
We’ll remember how you shown
You’ll soon be on your own way
You’ll rise to a fresh new day
When you run in fields of flowers
You’ll recall from where you came
Believe in circles
Believe in grace
We’ll miss you daughter
Miss you sister
Miss you lover
Miss you friend
Baby girl
It’s time for waking
For your love
We’ve been aching
So open up your eyes
Dawn is breaking
See the whole new world
That’s been waiting"

yep, and the other person singing is Sebastian, his 13 year old brother, who has a woooonderful voice.
most of the songs ben wrote while on the road, so they pretty much had to be played on guitar, since you can't really fit a piano on a tour bus :-P
-
His brother DOES have a great voice!
Do you know how old his sister was or what she died from? That's so sad!!
-

ummm i'm not sure how old she was or what she died from, but i know she was young. i want to say 11, but i'm not sure if that was nina, or another of his siblings.
-
When will his second CD be coming out? I can't wait!
I listened to Give it All Away last week... that's such a great CD.
-
he's still recording his 2nd cd, so probably sometime laaaate late next year :-)
but in the meantime you should buy his EP off the Ben Jelen eStore!
-

i think she was like 18 or something
and she died unexpectantly in her sleep, he said the doctors call it 'adult cot death' where you just die in your sleep for no reason... she was perfectly healthy.. she just went to sleep and never woke up.. strange huh?

that's so sad...a good friend of the family had their child die of sids, which is basically what she died of, only for babies.

Two boys that I absolutely can't get enough of! Bet that was an amazing show... and running into Ben prolly only made it 100X better :wink:

*Wishing I were at his NYC show right now... uugh*
