I caught a glance of Ben Sharkey on the homepage of YouTube yesterday and my "cute guy autopilot" kicked in and I found myself watching a bunch of his YouTube clips. Ben is a Michigan 3D artist who comes off as pretty shy when he's working without a script or soundtrack -- but absolutely sparkles once the tunes are rolling.
He has a few original songs up, but also tends to love covering songs from classic and popular crooners -- from Frank Sinatra to Michael Buble. Check out another tune and a cute clip of him showing off his moves after the jump.
I'm always kind of interested in seeing folks who have a vast range of interest and styles... I mean, who would have thought that a guy who loves covering Michael Buble songs would also have moves like this?!?





How cute is he?

Sooooo cute! I wanna eat him up!

I totally agree. You could just eat him up. Not only easy on the eyes, but really not too bad on the ears either !

LOL, not quite ready for a record deal, but gotta give him kudos for putting it out there. But really, with a killer smile like that, he can pretty much get away with anything... I saw like five of his videos in a row (in mute) ;-)

His Eyes are gourgeous. And what a smile. He should try out for American Idol- he would go far. YUM YUM!!

yeah well, I am not into those self promoting totally into themselves toast of the day guys.
I have realized that the poster amodellife is actually Ben Sharkey himself. He is slipping into the 'amodellife' moniker and then promoting himself, defending against anybody who thinks he is gay etc. What's the big deal man? Your smile is just too obvious. And one good advice from my grandmother Imelda: get your big mole removed, those things can turn problematic.
Other than that, I don't think this guy has American Idol audition quality. I have seen thousand cuter and more talented performer.
Call me jealous or hater or whatever. But don't I also have a right to post my opinion? No?

Ok this goes to you crissant lover, I respect your opinion on Ben Shakey I don't agree with you but I do respect it. But what you said about his "big mole" was rude and if you must know...it's not a mole, it's a birthmark. Totally diffrent. Good day :)

Wait - he's not out? Seriously? He's "straight"? I get the whole - I want to be famous so I can't be out - thing, but c'mon. He's gayer on a butch day than Ryan Seacrest and Anderson Cooper on their queeniest day are, combined! It's a shame that he's afraid to be out.

this is to Et han, If you've ever been to any of the openly gay youtube channels you would find out how shark infested youtubes waters are. (no pun intended) There is so much gay bashing going on that it would distract from anything anybody is trying to do. And what is with gay people hating on guys that aren't out? We all have to go through the same thing at some point in our lives. Some guys just take longer than others. I've heard of guys not coming out untill their in there 50's! It's a shame but we don't have to push anybody in the pool. Oh and Croissant lover, Ben must have pissed you off somehow for you to say that kind of stuff. You seem so bitter, stop spreading hate man.
