Ben Lee : One hit Wonder
Re: One hit Wonder
come on. he has been around for over a decade. his song 'cigarettes will kill you' was number two on a triple j hottest one hundred. the man is not a one hit wonder and you are ignorant if you think he is.

Re: One hit Wonder
Considering that he hasn't really ever been part of mainstream (pop) music, being in the top of the pops isn't exactly the goal for Indie and Alternative artists.
What does it really mean to be in the top of the pops charts? Absolutely nothing, according to the fact that the Crazy Frog went to number 1.

One hit (to the head with a bottle) wonder.
Re: One hit Wonder
no way at all. he's put out like 7 albums or something and he has a consistently growing fan base. what would his hit even be? catch my disease? can you even consider that a hit?

Re: One hit Wonder
You can argue the degree of success but he has definately had a few successful songs that have been bought by advertisers and bigtime tv shows.
Most one hit wonders release a song and you never hear from them ever again! He definately must have some talent to still be around today.
About his attitude however - he does come across as precocious twat but I do think people are a bit too hard on him. I wonder if growing up and surviving in NYC does that to ya?

Re: One hit Wonder
i don't think he comes across as anything except just what he is. he just writes and sings and plays his little guitar because its what he loves to do. he makes pop music because he loves pop music. he's made things that i don't love, but doesn't that just make you love him more? you can tell that he loves everything he does, knowing that his fanbase might not feel the same way.
Re: One hit Wonder
I guess my opinion of his attitude has been shaped from what other people in the media have said about him. His critics don't seem to effect him at all - which is good I and earns my respect.
I've never heard him in interviews be anything more than an intelligent, passionate artist. I guess that is what makes him a good artist!
