They are different people.
- portman 17y agoCan anyone point to proof that they are in fact different people? I know Merton claims to not be Ben Folds, but the voice, style, and facial structure are extremely similar. http://www.broadwayworld.com/columnpic/ben-folds1.jpg http://www.broadwayworld.com/columnpic/ben-folds1.jpg http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/piano-chat-improv-merton-chat-roulette.jpg http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/piano-c...
- petercooper 17y agoIt's hard for me to provide proof but I've been a Ben Folds (Five) fan for 14 years and been to almost as many gigs, and I didn't believe Merton was Ben Folds for a second. His playing style isn't similar (as far as pop rock pianists go) and his voice is quite different (Folds' North Carolina accent usually comes out when doing impromptu stuff - less so with studio recordings). Merton also looks somewhat younger (Folds hasn't aged too well in the last cpl years IMHO).
