  • Man Can Sing !!!!! xx

  • Thank you for posting Barrowman's wonderful singing..

    --------Ellen 

  • So sad he's gay......

  • Comment removed

  • I fall in love with him when i watch this clip.I was surprised to know that he is gay :(( Look ! He's very manly

  • @Linhmint What a clever comment !! Yes - just about all gay mean are incredibly effiminate ... you can spot them all a mile off ... good point !!

  • Love love love he's my fav actor and now male singer DW forever!!!! TW forever!!!!

  • Bravissimo!!! He's a great performer!

  • @HisNamelsTim - I couldn't possibly agree with you more!!! John is an AMAZING performer.

  • Can there be a John Barrowman video on YouTube where there are more comments other than "I WISH HE WASN'T GAY"? No? Okay.

  • GRANDIOSO.

  • Hey, anyone knows if I can get (download, order, buy, steal...) the whole Sunset Boulevard musical (with JB of course)? Or if such video at least exists? Thanks so much for any answer!

    Maria

  • I made a band name... Heck yeah it's sunset boulevard.

  • I still think this is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard.

  • My dear divine....

  • How is he so fucking amazing.

  • john: may be the biggest stars of all. er ist so großartig. besser geht gar nicht.

  • I luvvv this song its my fav by John its always stuck in my head im reading his book "I am what i am" and listening sometimes hes my hero from sci-fi hero to author theres nothing he cant do( exept die ) :-p luv u john!!!!!!

  • @TheFaceofBoe0800 You forget that he can't die, because he's Captain Jack :)

  • @LibbyDeters But the face of boe does die...

  • @AlphieThropp well yeah, but by that point he's only a face and it's super gross anyway.

  • @LibbyDeters So?

  • @AlphieThropp I don't know. i confuse myself. Never mind :)

  • @AlphieThropp sorry, jumping in here. We see the Face of Boe die, yes. But the Doctor might not be there long enough to see him come back to life! We see Jack die plenty of times as well, but we're always there to see him come back; sometimes it takes seconds/minutes, sometimes it takes a long time. So yeah, just putting that out there, haha.

  • Performing this song tomorrow. All thanks to J'Barry

  • he is a god! :D lovelovelove!!

  • john, john, john~ he has no idea just how much we love him

  • He is Great! Very much like Michael Buble` Anyone know any concert date in Los Angeles. He would be very worth seeing in person!

  • Ooohhhh baby.

  • John Barrowman should walk around in a dark suit with unfastened bow tie for all eternity. He is hot.

  • I'm a 37 year-old English singer living in Galway, Ireland. I'm working hard on my singing and would very much appreciate any honest critical feedback on my version of Sunset Boulevard here on Youtube (or the other demos) to help me improve. (Just type my name.) It was recorded a while ago now, and every singer must think they can do better later on, but there it's all I have. Thank you very much for any feedback offered.

  • John Barrowman would make a good james bond!!!

  • if you like that song, you must listen it to Murat boz. search it murat boz ''sunset boulevard''

  • he s the best of them who have sung this song...

  • He certainly is handsome.  And he can sing too.

  • Not a bad version. I prefer the original London Joe, though. Kevin Anderson. Also, I prefer Hugh Jackman and Michael Ball :)

  • *sigh* so happy i got to meet him after a concert he did in my town. He's such a nice guy and not at all big-headed (which makes a refreashing change) ;)

  • Watching him as Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who, I never imagined he sang!

  • Musical IS singing and acting at the same time. :)

  • @Darthic80 singing is acting by itself, in a more professional point of view (logically seeing the "commercial world" you wuoldn't quite say it sometimes)

  • I like his Joe to Elaine Paige's Norma!

  • my only wish in life from now on is this this amazing man will sing this for me. the chills are neverending

  • I love this man. I'm probably a little biased, what with the wonderment that is Jack Harkness, but I still think he's amazing

  • On my "So sad that his is gay"-list on No. 1

  • He played Patrick Logan in Desperate Housewives... :)) I loved his charachter even if he was the bad guy ;)

  • i love the way he sings sunset..so american it makes it alot more authentic

  • I asolutely love John Barrowman, I adore him and I think he understands the song so well, and still, I feel Michael Ball's (for whom I feel nothing at all) version is, not better, but more right, darker, dirtier.

  • i loved this song only when I heard it performed by John Barrowman!! He's amazing!! I keep lisitening to it again and again and every time it's like I m hearing for the 1st time!!

  • PLS CHECK MY VERSİON FOLKS AND COMMENT AND SHARE AND RATE AND I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY IT :)

  • goosebumps... hes amazing!!!!

  • OMG, I really can't get tired of this song!

    Better -- I can't get tired of watching John Barrowman singing this song!!! <3

  • I liked everything except for his hand motions during "rages." Kind-of took me out of the moment for a second. But the best I've hear of this song!

  • There is a difference when one has a whole stage to play with versus a stand-alone microphone so its only natural that John Barrowman over-exaggerate, if you will, his motions and not move around.

    That being said, the emotion in his voice makes me incredibly happy. *Sighs* he is a fantastic singer, to be sure.

  • Mmmm :)

  • Amazing song! It perfectly describes that area too. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a genius

  • Chills. I can't stop listening.

  • good voice but his vowels are too lazy. just syain. made him sound as if he didn't care that much about what he was doing, he sounded like he was bored. that's just me.

  • Suspenseful!... wait did I spell that right?

  • @Ninafan68 btw, here he is not acting... he's just singing -_-'

    anyways.... if u really watched touchwood or dr who b4 knoing he was gay u wouldnt even kno he was, I know I didnt. n 'he's a gay guy trying to act straight'? He is open about him being gay

  • @ccmyp Hes a REAL bloody actor...people think he's straight and a womanizer, but he's gay...why are ALL the bloody hot guys gay?

  • For some reason, I can't watch any Youtube videos. I get the black screen where the video is suppose to show but nothing else and it won't open. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

  • @aussielaurence download adobe flash player

  • @aussielaurence download adobe flash player to get youtube to work properly

  • *squeals!*

    Oh gods, I'm speechless!!! *---*

  • aw bless ive never seen him with such short hair!

    very sexy man ;))))))))))

    LOVE YOU JOHN <3

    amazing voicexxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Can't help it but I am reminded of Ricky Martin with John Barrowman's interpretation of this song. Hugh Jackson has a more powerful, macho feel to his version.... just my opinion...

  • Sexuality is not a choice!

  • why/ Why is he gay?

    This is just not fair.

  • I love you John!!!

  • Just Brilliant

  • John, marry meeee!

  • This unnaturally perfect.

  • j'adore cette chansson =D

  • The best Joe Gillis ever! And Betty Buckley was his most perfect Norma. x

  • @RoonJazz I'll never forget this performance!!!

  • like a chinese movie: find job and find a girl 找工作找女朋友

  • omg real music aaahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • my god ! his voice is amazing especially from the last chorus,, so powerful and amazing <3

  • falling in love with his voice :)))))

    Amazin!! So emotional!!

  • Comment removed

  • its probebly because of John but I realy love this version

  • LOVE THIS SONG!

  • Oh holy crap, Captain Jack Harkness from The Torchwood Institute in Cardiff can sing?

  • @mikakarl11 John Barrowman has had extensive concert tours as well as having originally made his name on Broadway and in the West End long before Torchwood.

  • @thechosennerf Yes I know that now. But I had never seen him in anything but Torchwood earlier, and never bothered to check his bio.

  • @mikakarl11 That was exactly my reaction.

  • @mikakarl11 John Barrowman was in Musical Theatre 16 years before Doctor Who. :)

  • I didn't quite know how the song went at all. I love these kinds of songs!

  • What people need to realize is that he's at a concert, not actually acting during a show. Also, he is not "overacting". There was a live audience, and you have to physically do things bigger because they're far away, so they can't see as well. We're seeing an up-close camera view of a performance meant to be seen even in the far back of the audience.

  • @CossetteDAuvergne Couldn't have said it better - filming any sort of theatre performances often makes them look staged and a little fake, even though from the audience on the same night they looked very real. It's why acting for stage and film is so different - on camera, the audience sees the little emotions, whereas on stage even subtlety has to be 'larger' in order for the whole audience to be able to see it. And like you say - he's at concert, not the show itself :)

  • Still, possibly, the best musical I ever seen.

    Fantastic.

    Saw it several times with John & Betty Buckley.

  • I can't wait to watch him on Stricly come dancing at christmas

  • @scarblissettx me niether. Its gonna be aweome

    I am not a Strictly Came Dancing fan but i am making an exception for John :P lol

  • i love both hugh jackman and john barrowman. they are both awesome singers and actors. multi talented which is such a rarity these days

  • i love JB but he's not a patch on Hugh. this is just too melodramatic.

    an sorry, i know he is gay. i got gay friends, its not a problem, but he should be able to play the role straight and not camp. the character is neither gay or effeminate so john should play it that way. he's done it before with other characters.

    like i said, John is really talented but this doesn't show off his talent

  • @RedKingCommandz He's not actually acting the part, though, he's singing the song.

  • oh mi gosh amazing luv it luv it luv it he sings this song so well it makes me smile everytime :)

  • Oh my goodness! I don't know where I've been but this is the first time I've heard John Barrowman and my heart is literally pounding!!!! What talent! This is how I felt when I discovered Josh Groban (sorry, I'm a hard-core Grobanite all the way.) Now I'm completely in love with this guy!

  • This is so GOOD! Why is he gay?????? :(

    (nothing against gay people at all)

  • @Heyyoutaco Nothing against "the gays", but why even mention it? His sexuality has nothing to do with any of this, these comments really always add fuel to the fire. He is Gay, because he is simple as that - there are some great gays out there... and some awful ones, like everything, good and bag in all sorts of lifes lucky dip.

    Personally, I think his voice is great, just not this song, I think he hasn't embraced the character fully.

  • wow you now when some one is a amazing singer because you get chills and i got chills :D john rocks

  • i hate it, that he has a gift to do everything great. i have no gift apart from my children.

  • @LLOYD19851012 im sure u have a gift. u just need to find it. perhaps ur gift is how ur able to raise ur children. everyone has a gift. sometimes they hide though. u have one. dont give up

  • I just don't feel the character's jadedness as much in John's version. He doesn't convince me that he's really "sold out".

  • Just wow. This gave me chills. It's the best I've heard this song sung

  • dude awesome

  • I love him.... he's cute... and sings well usually... but this song is really bad performed... really bad... he can do it much better. The tone is too low for him

  • This is such a wonderful song and I love John Barrowman, he puts so much passion into his songs

  • nice... I really like it, he fits the role better... but still... I prefer the rough way hugh sings it

  • Pál Tamás - Sunset Boulevard

    a hungarian version, not bad ;)

  • he is so awsome .. i love him . he is a great singer and actor .. <3

  • What is this voice?

  • John <3 !!!!!

    I love you so much

  • Love Hugh J. & Michael B., but Barrowman is the perfect Joe.

  • @TheCatgirl6 and @347Nitro - this is much earlier than CoE, it was filmed in September/October 2005 for broadcast in 2006.

  • replay replay replay replay replay :)

  • @gittarengitarren:

    ist geil, wer das net hört hat keine Ahnung.

    In English like, mmh, that or nothing else, or so. It s great..

  • @gittaren too bad that button doesn't exist... ha who cares hit it!

  • He is such a beautiful man!!!!

  • The emotion in his voice is so raw and beautiful, plus he is handsome and charming! How can someone be so perfect?

  • Comment removed

  • Right at the end, that arm motion he makes....for some reason, I always think he's going to do the spanking motion thing.

  • Every time watch this I think i'm going to explode. It is the best.

  • lol at the cinematic endin

  • I like this key he sings it in. I wonder if it's the original key.

  • this is so good!!!!! :D

  • sorry to all you who disagree but in my opinion there is no comparisson between jackmans version and this,...this wins hands down!!!!! fabulous voice

  • @tonoh09 why do you have to compare singers? does it matter who is better than ? its a matter of opinion. i do a much better version of this song.thats my opinion . and my mothers. so there . i will put it on you tube in a couple of weeks.

  • @mitzi7416 just sharing my opinion! ah right, cool..cant wait to hear that so, looking forward to it

  • love this song

  • John Barrowman is defintely my celebrity man crush, <3 <3

    I love his acting as Jack Harkness, and his singing, it's clear he loves to sing, and he puts alot of quality into his singing

  • i just keep singing this song over and over again

  • sometimes transcribe audio can be really funny XD

  • John is a great singer and perfromer dont get me wrong - -but Hugh is better as in overall performance - singing may not be as good, but not far behind - and delivery is superior. (IMO)

  • There's a lot of comparison in the comments here and there with the version of hugh Jackman. I like them both, they are very different because the two put the attention in two different things. You can see (hear) very well that JB takes a lot of care in the sound emission and in the quality of the voice that comes out, while HJ is more focused on the acting and body language.

    In both cases it is a very conscious choice and anyway both give a very satisfying rendition of the piece.

  • he is so hot he has such a good vocie i am sorry michael and hugh john is better

  • nice songs and voice

  • I hate the musicals, but its simply fantastic.

  • 100000000000000000000000000000­00000000000 stars for Captain Jack

  • The thing I love the most about John Barrowman is that he's a refined gay man, not like Elton John, and I've yet to find anyone who hates him or calls him a faggot and shit...the media has to show more of him, as a GOOD role model for LGBT teens...seriously, it's him or Lady Gaga, and my parents know which one they want me to be a fan of.

  • @Dawning0angel I know exactly what you mean!! Sure Gaga accepted an award and said it was for 'the gays' but this man is an inspiration to be who you are and love every second of it!! Gaga makes a spectacle of herself, but John... He is on a whole other level. Refined is almost an understatement.

  • @xbookfreekx Yeah...his 'making of me' inspired me to come out...

  • Why is Andrew Lord Webber at the beginning?? What is this from?

  • There is NO competition when it comes to this song!

    JB :)

  • definately the best version of this song i've heard, he really acts the song. you can hear it in his voice without watching the video.

    i love it!

  • he is good but michael ball is better

  • WOOOOOO!!! GO CAPTAIN JACK

  • i tink hugh jackson is rely good @ dis song cas ges not rlly lik de singin lukin type if ye no wat i mean nd hes kinda quirky in it but john barrowman is lik singin it nd is rely good!!!!!!

  • Saw him in Sunset Boulevard in the mid nineties in London...legend :-)

  • I have so much respect for Captain Jack!! And where can I buy him singing this.. so I can blast it in my living room?. ;)

  • Rex Smith song this better with more drama and better pacing - He was Diahann Carrol's Joe to her unforgetable Norma Desmond

  • he is so good

  • He makes it look so easy! He is great!

  • He is simply amazing. Thats all i can say. Love you John xx

  • I wish I could have this video on endless repeat! I love John Barrowman!

  • CAPTAIN JACK FTW!!!

  • @Murtagh42 I SECOND THAT!!!!

  • I'm waiting for him to sing the phone book! He is so effortless!

  • Jóóóó pasi ejjha :)

  • Beautifully Done by a Beautiful performer.

  • WOW was für eine krasse stimme. besonders am schluss. WOW

  • John Barrowman has an incredible voice, no doubt about that! BRAVO!!!

  • Beautiful voice, musical!

  • OMG! his voice.....Great

  • Hugh and John are both awesome i cant really decide between them. I absolutely love john much more but i kinda have to say (sorry john) but Hugh's version is better.

  • Have now listened to this as well as Michael Ball's and Hugh Jackman's versions.

    And I haven't changed my mind - Michael's is the best by far!!!

  • john is great. und wenn ich nicht schon verheiratet wäre würde ich seine stimme heiraten. john ist wirklich großartig. watching her sunset

  • i love him.

  • John Barrowman's a champ

  • He's theatrical for a reason, though. In the theater, they're taught to play to the back of the house so actors' movements are usually a little over the top. TV acting and theater acting are very, very different things.
