[chloe10103]

[xena6268]

very vey good hope he won brian would have been proud

[xena6268]

had to take a double take

[Voyer4]

excellent this one, I think this was the early 90s,this episode.Cool dutch dude.

[pfordsq]

...The dancers are even yobbo - dancin'.

[kittiesgomow33]

if i heard this on an album i dont thnk id be able to the tell the diff axcept when it comes to the chorus... -.-

there are still as many differences as they are simalarities.

[DeanLisi]

WTF ????????????????????????????

[ostwelf1]

original is original, shut up

[AceOfHeart2012]

Why is this guy not fronting the NEW SWEET? BTW... Where are all of the Sweet Tribute Bands hiding? Somebody could be making mint!

[rvphoto]

AMAZING he sounds so much like BC and looks like him too, he should get a few other band mates that can play like all the others and do a SWEET tribute band.!

[rvphoto]

where does ronald perform where you could go see him Vegas? I am sure it would be a great show!

[lyricistgirl]

This is a really long Stars performance... was it in the final?

[alanmercer23]

I think we need to get this into perspective. The second coming of Brian? First, go and listen to the original on another video, then come back and listen to this guy and you'll lear that he just sang the song in his own voice. He really doesn't actually sound anything like Brian Connolly. Not trying to be mean, me just speaks the truth. He doesn't even pronounce the word "her" after the Little White Dove part like Brian did. It was pronounced more like "harrr". He couldn't be much of a fan, lol

[lyricistgirl]

@alanmercer23

They're supposed to sing it in their own voice. Just that their own voice sounds a lot like the person they're impersonating.

[rvphoto]

This is close as you will ever get to Brian but I must say this guy is awesome and deserves kudos, wish he would put together a tribute band with all the right characters.

[admanphoto]

OMG! I thought it was Brian for a moment. Uncanny.

[TheROTTEN79]

He performed with Andy and Steve at Brian's memorial gig in November 1997 sand for The Hellraizers tribute band. I knew him back then as i worked on the memorial gig and Sweet events back then

[gatnip1]

amazing

[gatnip1]

holy shit!!!

[Merca230e]

It´s funny that he is singing WIG wam bam, since that is the most obvious wig of them all.

[philsaw]

awesome...................

[hellosuzie123]

Stars in your eyes

[Merca230e]

I know many things about The Sweet, but nothing about Brain. You´re joking, right? I thought you meant Brian from Sweet :-)

[Merca230e]

I know, but who the hell is Brain??

[bbbikesde]

Put him into an airplane an send him over the ocean. Adress to Steve !

[spikeman14]

I am 18 and a HUGE fan of the sweet. They are infact my favourite band! Some of their songs are pure genius and Mick Drummer inspired me to learn to play the drums!

[Merca230e]

I don´t know who Andy Cain is. Maybe he was Brian´s best friend, and he called him "brother". I have studied Brian, and the Sweet, for many years. Never ever have i heard anything about Brian having a brother. Maybe Brian was joking. Who knows? I do know one thing, for sure. You can never ever trust the words of an alcoholic. Don´t get me wrong. I absolutely love the Sweet, and their music. I will always remember Brian Francis Connolly.

[TheJetfighter666]

What year is this? This dude has got it all down pat Oh my god he's the second coming of Brian circa '73 .Does Steve or Andy know about him I know it would be wrong but hey why not. It's show biz! He would have to gain 60 pounds though to fit in with the guys now! .I'm bad I know. Long live the Sweet !

[MultiKLAARTJE]

@TheJetfighter666

This was in 2000. Brian was a very good friend of myself.

[TheJetfighter666]

@MultiKLAARTJE I also got to spend time with Brian.The whole group treated us like royalty when they came to the states.They knew they had found true fans in my friends and . I was with them every U.S. tour. [.Only in our area]

[jsand12]

@TheJetfighter666 2000

[Hollaenderin]

der typ is cool

[Rathardican]

weird when you think that brian connoly was mark macmanus (taggart)s brother in real life.

[Merca230e]

Brian had no brother. Brian´s birthname was Connolly. The woman that adopted him, was named Mc Manus. As soon as Brian knew he was adopted, he changed his last name back, to Connolly. Did you notice that it is spelled C O N N O L L Y?

[TheJetfighter666]

Then who is Andy Cain from Hartford Conn? Brian introduced me to him as his brother in '78 I also met Brian's aunties from Scotland that night. It was on the Level Headed tour and we drank on sweet's tab and had a memorable night. Can you fill me in on this .I was at the hotel with them in Buffalo in '75. and the next week in Philly'. We became friends with them Steve was gonna do some guest studio sessions with my band 'The Beast' in the 80's.But we broke up.

[jaydavee]

It seems like the dancers are cooler than their choreographer because they did finesse it afterall.

[astapic]

Looks like the real thing,C'mon Andy join him.

[Vince1303]

Oh WOW!! Brings it all back. Andy get on the phone to him QUICK.

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

It would be a bit hard to get Mick back in the band as he's been dead 7 years. Nice thought though.

[metalbearuk]

Very good,you can tell he's actually studied Brian C's posture, shame about the crap dancers behind!

[mansonmurders]

GREAT job! There will never be another Brian, but Andy, Mick & Steve should reunite with this guy as the frontman! Rest In Peace, Brian...

[1Brian94Connolly5]

ugrs...

mein faschingsoutfit^^

[IamAmetalAngel]

werd ich jemals nen typen in dem outfit an fsching sehn wer ich ihn kidnappen und ihn zwingen das ganze jahr durch so rumzulaufen XD .. mit so geilen typen macht man kein fasching das is ne verarschung von brian connoly.. hmpf.. der würd sich ja im grab umdrehn wen er das wüsste

[1Brian94Connolly5]

^^

wieso nicht, wenns zwei leute machen liegt er wieder richtig.

ne spaß beiseite, hast ja recht!!

[IamAmetalAngel]

nja die idee wär gut aber der arme hat seine ruhe verdient. also kein fasching..

[sneakyarse]

What the....

[swayzekl]

Excellent job,,Man I would pay to see you in concert

[Sawyerbabe1968]

Fuck me, I thought it was Brian.

[ScarlettOHell]

Excellent job!!! I'm surprised Andy or Steve hasn't contacted him yet to sing in their bands- he sounds so much like Brian and is the best singer I've heard to sing Sweet songs. He even looks eerily a lot like Brian.

[jambos1962]

Well mate, good job

[firstnoelnhl]

Not bad. He looks and sounds a lot more like Brian than Brian did those last few years. But nobody can duplicate what Brian did in his prime with the Sweet. You were definitely one of a kind, Mr. Connolly. And missed. RIP.

[XenonCodec]

May I second that comment.

The Sweet, a band of their times, and what f*c*i*ng good times they were!

[aitibi62]

@firstnoelnhl

I could not have explained it any better CHAPEAU!! Great thanks to JolietJakeBlues64 for posting it :-))

[MickeyLove01]

Hilarious, thanks for posting this I haven't laughed so much for ages....

[beamerZ]

Ronald you did a superb job!

You're a drummer but you should doing the lead as a singer.

[Dawn1959]

He's dead on Brian isnt he?Mannerisms included.Great song and pretty good look a like.Thanks.We still love ya Brian and Mick,rip.

[DamballaWedo]

Super!

[PokemonTrainer007]

I was crying for his funeral photo's, but this make me smile!

[beamerZ]

Is that a wig or his real hair?

[ghostlyhorrors]

his real hair i think. when he came on he had long blonde hair. so i'd imagine its his own...

[beamerZ]

Super! i want hair like that too.

[soozun]

His name might actually be spelled "Ronald Klarenbeek"? There's a Web page that mentions "BC Sweet" with Ronald Klarenbeek (vocals), Jeff King (Drums), Paul Green, Marc Pearson, and Micky Smith as a Sweet Tribute band. you can google +"Ronald Klarenbeek" +Sweet and get the results

[soozun]

Ron Clarenbeck

(If you google "Ron Clarenbeck", the first result talks about him appearing at Brian Connolly's memorial show in Nov 1998)

[SynthetiKTeasE]

He kinda sounds like Brian!!.. but steves part is completely retarded!!

[funkemariechen62]

HALLO friendsofgran ich denke du stimmst mir zu das er vielleicht die Klamotten nachahmen kann aber sonst...

[friendofsgran]

he even sounds a bit like Brian

[Jadranko23]

Just fantastic :))

He looks like him but lacks the voice ... however, it's fun and great!

[hakkman2007]

Thats freaky..............

[friendofsgran]

he looks just like him

[stevegainesthehero]

WOW...Brian's twin brother :D 5*
