On Friday night I went and saw Ben Folds live at the State Theatre, and he was great to watch live.
He's such an entertainer and loves talking to the audience about the songs and giving a bit of back story, which makes for such a good show.
One of the awesome things that Ben Folds has done over the last few years is pick a song (generally from a very different genre of music) and do a cover version.
On this tour he performed a Ke$ha song - I knew that girl was 'nasty' but hearing her lyrics performed by Ben Folds really hit home how much of a skanky lady she is (google the lyrics to Sleazy). Haha, but he made it sound so lovely and nice.
One of my favourite Ben Folds' covers is a Dr Dre tune! I saw him perform it live at Glastonbury back in 2008, and the crowd went nuts. Oh yeah, there's a bit of naughty language on this one, so consider yourself warned.
