I think I've never been so fascinated with an artist before. What he creates is just beyond words, there's something ethereal to whatever he does. And the more I delve into interviews and stuff like this the more I feel this weird connection without knowing this person. I'm seeing this video for the first time but have been listening to him for a long time without knowing much about him. Hearing about the fears he had before going to France and how it worked out for him eventually is just what I needed to hear now as I'm moving to Paris soon and have been feeling super anxious the last few days especially because of the language barrier. I'm so glad I stumbled across this video (whatever weird coincidence might've brought me here)
I totally understand what you mean about him being ethereal, and him being so different talking and everything. Not gonna lie I cried during this video because of how talented he is and his aura is just so beautiful.
He looks really handsome with short hair and I love that little piece hanging in the front like a greaser haha but I guess he found his true self with his beautiful long hair- it's gives him a glamorous 70's look
I have been in love with this individual for five years and cant believe I'm just stumbling across this landmine. Not sure how something so simplistic can embody so much character. Garrett is a mastermind.
All you should be jelly. He's from Grand Haven MI, where I live. He came to my school once in 2011 and played for us in out gym. He also played for every other school in the district
I teared up, and wept when Mr. Borns started talking about the little French girl. I keep trying not to like him. He keeps getting even more awesome! Much love. Hope I get to see him live soon...
Well this just made my day. What a stinkin adorable kid. How lucky I am that such talented people exist to make my creative thoughts a reality.... and I hope I get to see him on monday! gotta find a ticket
Wow...this gem is 5 years ago. Terrific. I "discovered" Mr. Borns last night (Christmas 2016) on PBS Front and Center. Check out that performance filmed at IRIDIUM in NYC.
This is the version of BØRNS that my uncle knew, he went to my uncles school where my uncle is the assistant super attendant, every Christmas my uncle talks about how he knows BØRNS and now i actually love Borns just went and saw him in Grand Rapids at 20 Monroe live truly a Greta artist
Was this before he became BORNS?! What a savage at music.
Sam Valladares yea
Sam Valladares I guess so dude this is very Savage I don't like him on ukelele though lol
He stole our Ø for some reason, what a weirdo, but he can make music!
He was always Børns when you think about it
and look where he is 4 years later.... what an awesome performer
And now it's six years later :)
@@Danielle-rs6hg 8 yrs
8 years and no one knows where he is. 😂💔
9 years oMG

Hope you're doing great in paris. I too want to visit paris once in my lifetime.❤
He's got that magic. Something else lol
I hope it worked out for you, too….
it did :-) thank you

Robert Plant-esque!
wow he was only 18 here
i sure hope that crowd was clapping like crazy cuz the mics barely picked the applause up and he deserved so much applause for that

that little hair strand casually bouncing on his forehead is the end of me
I think short hair suits him more, but the long hair does make his image more unique.
U right
Kind of looks like an attractive version of Steve from stranger things
Anne Summers ouch
Anne Summers but actually Yes
OH MY GOD 💀💀💀
I️ KNOW RIGHT OMF
BUT STEVE IS ATTRACTIVE😫
If I were a little girl and heard him singing from across the street I would be mesmerized too.
0:20 - Mademoiselle
6:45 - Princess Song
8:00 - TEDx Funk
11:40 - Time Flies
It's amazing to see how his sense of style changed so drastically.
What a truly lovely rosy human being. This man is the definition of good vibes, love, and happiness. I wish I had the pleasure of knowing him.
He looks so much healthier here Borns please take good care of your health😔
All you should be jelly. He's from Grand Haven MI, where I live. He came to my school once in 2011 and played for us in out gym. He also played for every other school in the district
Also Grand Rapid (look at the title) is 45 minutes from where I live.
Also his song "mitten" is about Michigan.
no one actually cares
Sophia Reyes aw, don't be a party pooper. I think that's really exciting. He's a fun musician to listen to.
Ha same. My cousin was friends with him in highschool and lived in the same neighborhood. :)
@@chloestaff3259 really?
You're sooooooo gorgeous!! Gosh this was a decade ago, your talent never goes out of style. Come back please
"remember in 2011 when we were at Tedx Grand Rapids and we heard Garret Borns" said the man at the end, and he was so right about saying that!
how can someone hold so much talent :')
omg a smol bean here. hes so incredible! i love how far he's come.
Love his beat boxing.
Garrett has a mesmerizing voice that just hypnotizes that motivates you to finish what it is you need to get done
So much talent.
true
He's just a natural performer!
you are saying he's been dope this whole time and i just discovered him last year in a youtube ad?
How is someone THAT confident??
still incredibly hot ugh
his face after his freestyle though, lol. he's so adorbs
I hope these songs are on one of his albums. Dopamine was really good though.
I can't find his album Dopahan anywhere.
+Courtny E. Spotify
Ahmad White have you heard blue madonna? what do you think?
n wo Ahh blue madonna is a piece of art
he is so inspirational to me. also I love that hes not wearing shoes
Tylar Osborne I thought I was the only one who noticed XD
Tylar Osborne It makes it easier to control the loops when you have full sensation with your feet
it's probably to feel the beat, i know a lot of people do that
This is just so magnificent- everything about it is in harmony; his voice, the guitar, the background rhythm, the video....
L Norman there is no guitar, you mean ukulele?
haha yep sorry I'm bad with instruments
This guy is gonna need a movie and I’m sure he will be remember as a musical genius in the midst of temptation.
HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT LOVE HIM OMGNN
"wanna bring a few friends onstage"
*whole world comes out*
Biggest smile on my face from that improvised piece. So cool!
I teared up, and wept when Mr. Borns started talking about the little French girl. I keep trying not to like him. He keeps getting even more awesome! Much love. Hope I get to see him live soon...
He's so precious! I'm in love!!
I swear i was straight a second ago
Last year Prince said he would be great.
what??when???
Yeah when?!
he kinda reminds me of him
WHAT? DO YOU HAVE FOOTAGE OF THIS?
I seen them in concert this past December and it was amazing. He was amazing.
I like the rawness of how you can still hear his harmonic voice effect while he's speaking between songs.
He was kinda incredible! Love his music now.
i saw him live in paris!!!! breathtakingly beautiful
I have been a subscriber of this channel for a long time ago, and I feel so bad for never seen this before He is so talented.
This guy omg 😍
He is so amazinggg. I love his journey; it's so interesting.
I love his confidence, talent and willingness to take risks at such a young age. Amazing what he has achieved. Amazing music.
This guy is genius! Borns are one of the best artists I have ever saw.
He literally looks like a baby here🥺. Who knew everyone would be electrified after a few years.
i love him so much
he really looked like christian slater in heathers mixed with patrick fugit in almost famous when he had shorter hair
+jeejunee Exactly! He's so adorable ^_^
True!!! They look exactly alike!!!
I just watched Almost Famous for the first time, and I was totally crushing on Patrick Fugit. I definitely see the similarities.
a333 bruuuhhh so true
a333 I'm getting more of a River Phoenix/Zac Hanson vibe.
Thank You to Everyone who made this video possible ! Garrett Borns is BRILLIANT !
The love I have for borns surpasses his looks and even his musical talents
Soo talented so beautiful
He's so young here aw, yet his music is already so ingenious and beautiful
the aura he gives off is honestly so pretty
Headed to the top :)
The way he rolls those r's is driving me crazy with love
Long hair= sexy af short hair= sexy af
+SorryImJenna i agree
+disco dad G money is a sex symbol. My new favorite artist. He's also from Michigan makes me like him ever more.
he's a sex god
100% agreed
kinda looks like stilinski
Saman I love that song so much I watch this at least once a day
He was so amazing, I'd love to see him live someday
His dimples 😭❤️
Garrett looks like Evan Peters bruh.
yeah but i think garrett is like, the effeminate version of him
omfg this explains why i think of even peters singing borns songs when im just listening to his music
Oh my it's so true. Have crushes on both I need help oh my
Amy Silva Evan looks like him
borns before borns is the ultimate thing. and borns while it's borns is the following ultimate thing.
Well this just made my day. What a stinkin adorable kid. How lucky I am that such talented people exist to make my creative thoughts a reality.... and I hope I get to see him on monday! gotta find a ticket
hes never not hot
"the ultimate language of love is music"
this is my favorite thing ever ever ever.
he's literally so pretty
Still incredible
He used to be so country!! I love either version of him
He is like a dream here
he's using a voice duplicator, which is why it sounds like there are 2 of him singing/talking. pretty cool effect... gives melodies way more depth
Wow...this gem is 5 years ago. Terrific. I "discovered" Mr. Borns last night (Christmas 2016) on PBS Front and Center. Check out that performance filmed at IRIDIUM in NYC.
Herb DeCordova thanks!!
Love him so much omg
In love with him. Mesmerizing
He will forever be my favorite musician
He went to the same elementary school as I do now (rosymound elementary) he came there today with his band and I got his autograph!!!!!!!
Omg he is so incredibly talented!! I love him so much!!
You're amazing
who else wants a full version of "princess in her evening dress"?
What an incredible musician.
And also, his face is perfect, oh my
This is the version of BØRNS that my uncle knew, he went to my uncles school where my uncle is the assistant super attendant, every Christmas my uncle talks about how he knows BØRNS and now i actually love Borns just went and saw him in Grand Rapids at 20 Monroe live truly a Greta artist
he is so talented, i love him
Such a talented human being.
He looks like Matthew Gray Gubler.
i was thinking the exact same thing!!! w the hair and the lankiness idk but i totally see it
I guess that's why I'm in mad love with both of them .. :|
HE DOES HOLY COW
kind of reminds me a mix of Gubler and Michael Jackson... so talented, eccentric, adorable, handsome, and lovely.
Someone also said Evan Peters in the comments so I'm gonna add that as well cause I agree lol
That freestyle was just awesome 🔥🔥🔥
love love love!!!
It's amazing to see where he started to 5 short years later
God my ears are so pleased
Ich höre jetzt die ganze Zeit Scheeeeriiin
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Dankeschön
he... is... GORGEOUS
I like T.E.D talks and BØRNS what a day to be alive 😊
I am seeing him in concert in a couple days and this made me more of a fan than I already was!
God he’s so beautiful I wish I can see him in concert
AN ANGEL WE DO NOT DESERVE
Been listening to him for about 2yrs thanks to Lana but recently came across this....that little rap of TED just made me love him even more 😍😍
