Introducing The Weekend Forecast
Ever wonder what Season Two winner Benji Schwimmer has been up to lately. Well if you follow him on twitter you would know that he is a part of a band, the lead singer to be exact. The bands first single is called “Right” and I posted the music video below. I like it the song is pretty catchy and it has a great message. So enjoy and show Benji some love on twitter @BenjiSchwimmer.
Wow. Our little Benji has grown up. I’m happy for him…he’s certainly had quite an amazing life so far! It really does underline how YOUNG he was when he won SYTYCD2.
I always wondered why Julianne Hough never parlayed her dancing with her singing. I hope Benji does it. Might as well use what you got, no?
Benji was 22 when he won young yes but not the youngest. Its good to see him doing other things. I would love to have his band on a result show just to help get them exposure. I know the single is on itunes. The album should be out later this year.
Well looking at old videos of Benji when he was first auditioning for SYTYCD, he actually looked smaller in terms of build. All the dancing looked like it buffed him up a bit.
Song is alright. I like it when he hits the mid-range rather than the tenor/baritone range.
Amanda, I didn’t necessarily mean young by age, but young by…temperament, I guess you’d say. He seemed like he’d been very sheltered before the show. I think he was an incredibly young 22. 🙂
Stephanie,
He’d just gotten back from 2 years in Chile as a missionary. So, I’m sure that going from 2 years on a mission in a foreign country to a stage in Hollywood would certainly be quite the experience.
Season 2 was my fav of all the seasons. I was a HUGE Benjelle fan…loved those two together. I always thought Heidi should be on DWTS rather than Julianne Hough.
however, stick to the dancing Benji. Singing is not his thing.
tamdayc,
I loved Benjelle too. Them along with Heidi is what made me first fall in love with the show and is really the impetus for what has become Pure SYTYCD.
I’m not sure Heidi is as well trained in ballroom as Julianne Hough. Plus, looking at the ratings and Hough’s popularity, I’m sure DWTS is VERY happy with their decision.
He’s a decent singer, but in the video I’m not sure that the dance and the singing quite mesh for me.
