Maneskin reacts to hearing the original Beggin' blasted from car stereo in NYC

Watch how the band Maneskin reacts when they hear the original version of the song they covered being blasted in the streets of NYC.

I think everyone should bear in mind that the cover they did of Beggin was a song they were given to perform one week on X Factor Italy when they were first trying to become professional as teens. It wasn't their choice either to sing it then or that this was the one that would become so massively successful in the US when they became well known. They did it well, of course, but I'm sure they'd prefer to be known for the great songs they've actually written, of which there are many.

I love how Ethan just immediately starts air drumming

I don't know what point that person was trying to make but many songs have been remade by various artists. In some cases, such as in this situation, Måneskin gave "Beggin" new life! Måneskin's version was well done and presents an upbeat spirit that moves the soul. 💞💞💞

Imagine that you are a very talented Italian singer-songwriter, you have many beautiful songs (mostly in Italian) and you won one the biggest contest in Europe, and you are only known for a cover you did when you were a teenager. Then a stranger on the street out of nowhere plays what he thinks is the original version of that song. Of course you would be uncomfortable or angry and even tired of listening to that song . The guys from Måneskin have a lot of good songs. Yes, their version of Beggin is amazing, but as a fan who has been following them since they participated in X Factor Italy, all the good songs they have are in Italian.

What's the point of this? Trying to embarrass them or making them feel awkward? They know better then everyone that they did a cover and actually a cover of a cover, not of the original song

They just made it a hit again. However, it was was a remake before. I still love Maneskin's version.❤

We're always talking about Francesco Castelluccio (frankie Valli) who was italian too..the song deserved a further italian treatment...

[britischenadligen]

Thomas is just vibing to it not giving a damn lol 🤘

[Apo]

love the reaction! by the naturalness of the movement you can see that they are here because of the music <3

I love Maneskin version, nonetheless. They gave Beggin' their own flare and flavor. It sounds like one of their own creations.

I am a big fan of Maneskin and it is the song Beggin that brought me into the fold, I loved it because I have always been a Four Seasons fan, my older brother was a big fan so I heard all of the Four Seasons stuff growing up, but I love Maneskin's version of the song, I think they did a great job, but yeah everyone needs to listen to all of their music, they are a great band, I'm really happy for their success, , , ,

To people saying they’re only known for Beggin, I think I Want to Be Your Slave and maybe even The Loneliest would beg to differ

[ramujaku]

Been following my these dudes since their Eurovision win, seeing that shit live on air was about some of the mosts satisfying things to happen on that show in years, whoever did this is an asshole. They’re incredibly talented and wonderful.

[xmroepd]

Pretty sure the guy playing the song is fucking aware that Beggin is not an actual Maneskin song.
He was just trying to show a little love and they didn’t know how to react, typical human interaction

[valerianarancio]

Thank god people make remakes, so new generations get to know also the original

[colbyandbrennen]

Why did I think Måneskin were so much older than they are like the fact they're in their early 20s and I thought this video was from at least a decade ago I-

[betsythompson]

Maneskin just made the song sexier !!!!

[toggerz]

Why is everyone assuming the guy was trying to embarrass the band? I'm pretty sure they would have been even more embarrassed if their own song had been blaring at them in public.

I think the just guy wanted to show that he thought they were cool. You can see Ethan and Tommas joining in, it's just Damiano who's trying to ignore the guy, because surprisingly he's the most shy of the 3. Their humility is the reason any of them felt embarrassed.

[sabelsanta]

I love drummers. Their hands are always moving.

[cassif]

Why is noone talking about Damiano lifting his arms and showing that he left his tag on the jacket 😂😂 0:32
