Ruthie Henshall, John Barrowman, Mica Paris, Musical Medly

[meirasanya]

Nice to see Whats-his-face from S Club. He's looking a little better than some of the others from the band, saw 3 of them a year or so ago at my University May Ball... so old

[livandjazz]

not as good as alan cummings version of the role as emcee

[kevincostnermyhero]

Whoa....He can act, dance, skate, cook, sing, and sing in another language...and do it all well!? WTF? And he's got the perfect looks and perfect personality too? Barrowman! *shakes fist* Your perfection makes my ovaries explode.

[McLovin33t]

I like Carrie Grant's vocals in this one

[spellbound008]

i ALWAYS Hated that grating Broadway "sing/talking loud" but Mica BLOWS all those hos AWAY! and in a cool 15 seconds!!

[McLovin33t]

Who is the red head in this? At first i thought she was Mica Paris but i realized she wasn't but her name should be on the title. I'm a big Ruthie fan but i like the red head the most in this, as well as Barrowman's intro, very classy beginning.

[melanze110]

John's german accent is terrible but he's an amazing singer =)

[lolatheballerina]

What is wrong with John's accent in the begining?? It's just wrong!

awsome non the less

[devishree]

I think this is my favorite of the medleys

[AlexanderMrazek]

John Barrowman do horrible things to me please!!!

[marsbar23]

what's the third song?

[seanSATIONAL94]

@marsbar23 If They Could See Me Now from Sweet Charity

[musicallytwilight]

the guy that sang edleweiss and the two that sang Somewhere were AMAZING!!! actually they all are but those really stuck out to me for some reason

[PicturesOnSilence1]

I quite like John singing Wilkommen, but (and I never thought I'd say this), I don't think he's camp enough. But that might just be cause I'm basing it on Raul Esparza's performance. It's still brilliant. And Ruthie's amazing, as always.

[waratah08]

What a great video but you can't take anything away from Ruthie or Captain Jack.

[McLovin33t]

I really like Mica Paris in this one.

[ChopinNocturne2901]

HOW could she sing that amazingly well that pregant?!?!?!

[emshicandyflosshead]

I know, shes really good! But i think ruthie is better. But theyr both amazing

[faerie2003]

I was thinking...she's not preg....then she turned sideways...

[pollekesol]

what was she thinking when they sewd that black dress on her :-S

[momoiscrazii]

Ruthie = awesome!!

[McLovin33t]

I like Mica Paris in this. Normally a big Ruthie fan and everyone feel like extras.

[ThatsSoKirby]

OH MY LORD. Jon singing Edelweiss = dream come true

[cutipiejess]

i totally agree with you ..i love musicals and it has def made them more popular in the west end

[wokwithme]

BBC should bring this series back. Now that Musicals are back in style.

[neonlightsonbroadway]

[doctorwhofanatic18]

Yupp, he is

[SoapStar4Life]

screw off, SERIOUSLY?

OMFG ahahaa

That just made my day

XD

What a HOTTIE

[Gorgone55]

I´m german and i never see this show. But what i see here, it`s great. And i love Ruthie Henshall, she has a great voice.

[ihatelosers12]

holy crap she is  how can she preform like that

[supernaturalfunkytow]

dude, shes like, pregnant

[babybluebubblefairy]

ana!

and i luv johns voice :)

[DarkmareLaura]

i loved this show- i never uderstood why the BBC didnt do another series

[ltdreamer]

Probably cause all the people involved have unbelievably busy schedules so that they couldn't get them all together at the same time again.

[WellKnownSecret]

Jon Lee is love. . <3

[GuadaGN]

I know that this is going to sound rather rude, but does anyone else think that the black lady in the black dress looked huge beside the man in the grey suit? For a moment there I thought she was about to crush him.

And on the musical note, I LOVE John´s Wilkommen.

[spacemonkeyz]

It's ok, when she stepped out next to him I just said

"Fuck she's tall"

And yeah, she could totally just crush him. Lol

I hope she was wearing high heels. Because wow, she was tall.

[cherryberlin]

Jon Lee! Better known as the "blond guy of the pop band S Club 7" they was very popular between 1999 and 2003.

[WildQueenie]

Who's the guy who sang 'Edlewiess'? I've hated sound of music for years and haven't listented to a single song from it, but I couldn't get enough of his version of that song!

[Modosarcasm]

Haha, the whole last part you could easily pick out John's voice. He was the only one that you could hear individually.

[purewelshchick]

what is john barrowman singin?

and wat is 'place for us' out of? mind gone blank :P

???

[sidewaysanger]

Wilkomen from Cabaret

[jennNickson]

Place for us is from West Side Story i think x

[Readalfa]

Place for us is indeed from West Side Story- Had to watch it for Marching Band...

[doggys235]

Place for us is actually Somewhere, from West Side Story.

[mehalfdutch]

[Dushdi]

[Dushdi]

John is gorgeous and so talented and I think Ruthie is fantastic too.

[limegreencoops]

[twoonbiscayne]

It's cool, sweetie! *MUAH*!

[lovincake]

[twoonbiscayne]

Well you seem sweet yourself so, as the saying goes, "Give someone a kiss - it's not cheap it's free!" Keep smiling, baby!

[lovincake]

Il ooked on your page, and added you as a friend. How did you get clip of Ana Gasteyer as Elphaba? She was the first Elphaba I saw in Chicago! I just might have been at that show!

[twoonbiscayne]

I loved her on SNL and when i heard she was in WICKED my favorite musical, I was floored. I mean she always spoofs celene dion but who knoew she had the chops to follow Inina menzel? I got the clip off here! i saw the original cast in NYC a few years ago. It was Awesome!!!!

[twoonbiscayne]

I want to marry John Marrowman! OMG!!! What a Man! What A Man! WHAT A MAN!

[twoonbiscayne]

I meant "Barrowman!"! OOPS!@ TYPO!

[booklover68]

Ruthie is great, but the makeup makes her look very sad for the whole time.

[futurespy007]

this is a really good medely!

i wish theyd do another series of it :)

[events1206]

Was this on BBC? What show was this? Why did I miss this?!

[kimsala76]

I love John Barrowman and I adore Ruthie Henshall. Nothing gets much better than this:)

[Renamon333]

Cool! Love it!

[stefi321]

ahaaha john barrowman makes a great mc but i couldnt see him in the production myself he's not creepy enough lol also he sings welkommonen instead of wilkommonen at one point.

[kermityoung]

Carrie Grant and Ruthie Henshall are two totally great and gorgeous singers.

[jadeylou1]

love ruthie henshall

shes amazing

[Demonarrows]

the thing daving grant does which really annoys me is carrying on the "r" sound into "us" if that makes sense, so instead of "place for us" its "place forus" if u get me...

[goughy034]

I see what you mean now. I never noticed it before as I was always singing along to it. i have performed this song on stage and we always used to get told of by the musical director for singing forus.

[Eponine32]

David Grant (i think thats his surname) has one of the best voices there IMO, his voice suited that song so much...

Mica Paris definately doesnt suit showtunes, i agree tho she does have a nice voice..

[GaelicFreak]

Who else can see John as the Emcee?

[AngelsHell]

who is the pregnant one? I don't know her ^^

[Jimee1987]

Carrie Grant is the one who was pregnant at the time.

Mica Paris is a very talented singer, but her voice is totally unsuited to 'Matchmaker' (especially as it's meant to be sung by children). The whole clip is fab though, thanks for posting it.

[jasminegrace]

osvaldoe,i agree with u completely.anyone can be racist whether ur balck,white or even purple.But i do really like this piece of music.being musical in all aspects i can see where ur all comin from but in my opinion the people in this piece are all very talented.not bein bias but especially john barrowman and ruthie henshall but i've liked then 4eva.but mica paris has a lovely voice.

[osvaldoe]

benjirocks, Mica is indeed a GREAT singer and one of my personal faves although I don't agree with your assessment of her talents and believe she sounded great and can sing anything. As far as being black automatically disqualifying you from being racist that's as shortsighted as your opinion of Mica's talents. Color has nothing to do with being racist. Unforetunately racism comes in all colors.

[osvaldoe]

To amoreseitu and especially to bengirocks,

Why is it that I detect more than a hint of racism in your comments? You say that Mica & David's voices "ruined" it yet you don't explain how or why.

Fever77, I was going to begin my comment with why must this always be a race issue, why not just enjoy the music but I can see now why you feel this way. They were all very talented. Why does it matter what color they are? It's really a shame that it's 2007 and some folks are still prejudiced.

[benjirocks]

how can i be racist if i'm black? get off your high horse!!! mica paris is a great singer, she does not however suit showtunes and should therefore 'stick to what shes good at'!!

[Lisanye]

Easy. Racism is against a colour, and so it doesn't matter what colour you are. No one is exempt.

[ColumbiaTD]

this is too TheFever777 what do ya mean white people have no soul in singing or dancing? Have you ever heard of Gene Kelly? Watch his dancng and tell me he has no soul! And singing ? Have you heard of Idina Menzel? Listen to her and tell me she has no soul! And guess what the ppl I've just mentioned are WHITE! Black ppl and white ppl both have soul so just shut the fuck up.

[amoreseitu]

the Fever77, Mica does have a fantastic voice, I just didn't think that the song suited her!

[benjirocks]

totally right!! she should stick to what she's good at

[masada42]

I just love how the camera opens on a close up of John's face, the 'almost' maniacal (or is it another word?) look in eyes is awesome!!

[amoreseitu]

sorry, i meant to say, not everyone's voices ruined somewhere, just mica's and david's at the start

[TheFever77]

Mica was the best out of the lot, knobody can touch her. Please! What are you on. No offence but white people have no soul, in their voices or their dancing.

[eringobraugh]

No offence but white people have no soul? Oh yeah, like you can possibly expect someone not to be offended by that. I don't have a problem with Micabut I do have a problem with your racist comment

[amoreseitu]

the harmonies in somewhere are good, but their voices kind of ruin it

[ruthiexfan]

carrie wrecks this a bit everyone else rocks ruthie n john r the best xx

[stefi321]

ruthie henshall is so awesome

[Phantomlover1302]

That was sooo good! I LOVE Ruthie Henshall! She's so awesome! Everyone did a fantastic job!

[nptorchwood]

i wanted 2 sing along!!!!
