  • Ewan was good but John is just...there are no words.

    

  • i like ewen's ver. better but john sure can melt a heart @w@

  • Why are 11 people hating on John singing this song?

    He's FANTASTIC! *drifts off into a sea of hearts*

  • I seriously don't understand the 11 people who don't like this video. This is so beautiful...

  • how can u not like this song xx

  • ok this was so pretty!

  • i prefer ewan mcgregor singing this

  • i dont care if hes gay, hes still awso1

  • Like this comment if you're pretty sure the 11 people who hit the dislike button are going to get hit by cars.

  • John Barrowman FOREVER!. ;)

  • Wow. I'm lost for words!

  • John makes me wish I were a gay man. <3

  • I love the music and i love him. :)

  • DAMMIT JOHN BE AT COMIC CON IN NYC THIS OCTOBER AND SING TO ME!!!!!!!

  • Every time he says "and this one's for you" and looks RIGHT at the camera, half of me fangasms and the other half gets pathetically fluttery.

  • John will always be my Captain Jack Harkness :)

  • omg, I love him

  • John Barrowman is an absolute gent.

  • ...Ewan MacGregor who?

  • @simplystreeptacular Ewan MacGregor who sang it better. Both versions are incredible and John's an awesome singer. But John is a lyric baritone and Ewan is a Tenor, and so when John sings those high notes, it sounds strained both on the recording and live. I just think this fits Ewan's voice better but to each his own right? :)

  • @DC11961 i like to play both at the same time they dont sync right, but thats probably a good ting because those two singinga duet would most likely be too beautiful for my brain to handle

  • i love it!!

  • OMG he does this song better

  • LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!

  • Brilliant singer and actor, but he's a bit confusing on British TV. Nobody ever addresses the fact that he has an LA accent (Scottish if he's on a talk show in the UK).

  • @surfer53 He was born in Scotland and moved to America when he was 9-ish so he addopted the american accent cause he was made fun of in school. He has said in interviews that when he's with his parents and talks about them his Scottish accent comes back :)

  • I'll comment properly - when I reconstitute myself from the gooey puddle currently soaking my chair cushions.

  • No, John, I don't mind you putting down how you love me in words, please continue.

  • dis 1 FOR U GREGOR <ILV U< NOW ITS GONE

  • I hope he does some singing for children in need 2011

  • i love JOHN BARROWMAN HE ROCKS I WISH I COULD MEET HIM XD XXXXX

  • i want to be that piano player. no i want to be the microphone yeah thats it the microphone

  • @1kissbee the piano player is myleene klass

  • GOING TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT TONIGHT!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!

  • He's such a multi-talented man.

    I love his singing voice.

  • I'm going to his concert in RAH in 12 days!!!! I'm so looking forward to it!!!

  • No, I really don't mind at all

    And yes, my life is wonderful now that you're in my world

  • I was JUST thinking about how he would sound on this song....

  • @FunFlirtyFlute omg so was i! haha when that exact thought crossed my mind i saw this vid in the suggestions column :D

  • YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY John!!!!!!!!!!!

    Your the best.

  • @sakura333 That is Pudsey Bear...not sure where you are from, but this performance was for Charity by looks, specifically Children in Need in England/UK, Pudsey Bear is the mascot.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG

    I LOVE JOHN BARROWMAN

    I LOVE MOULIN ROUGE, which this reminds me of....PERFECT

  • Three cheers for the guys on the strings!

  • I'd love to see him and Ewan do this together. Two Scottish hunks. :O)

  • @MelissaB1976 I would pass out....seriously I would pass out and die.

  • He do well in a miracle movie or Torchwood the musical lol

  • it's the Moulin Rouge version!

  • I would kill to sing with John Barrowman!! x x x

  • LOVE LOVE beautiful song sung by a beautiful guy.

  • i LOVE john barrowman i could listeb=n to him all day

    his voice is so lovely everytime i hear his voice it makes me so happy and calm

    hes a great acter and singer is there anything this man carnt do

    ur arwsome john love u

    hes just the best

  • i like his version better than Elton Johns and I think Elton John's the best !

  • i don't care what people think, i LOVE this man with a passion.

  • idk about any of you, but if you can't sing close to this, then his, ewans, and johns are all good in different ways.

  • Lovely version, although I like the way Ewan's voice waivers a little more on the notes. JB almost has...too much control?

  • I swooned. Prefer mcgreggors but this works just as well :D

  • John is best :)

  • He's so dreamy

  • luv dis song ,awsumxxxxxxxx

  • At 35 to 40 seconds, he kind of goes falsetto and the pitch goes off. Not sure he should need to.

    Love this arrangement of Your Song, and he does a really good job of it (nit-picking aside).

  • love him hes rules the worls i love this song it makes me cry

  • amazing singing voice :D

    still debating over who's better: Ewan or John?

    any thoughts guys? ;)

  • Totally JOHN!!!

  • @ratoc1984 well, I'm not a guy, but I'd have to say Elton, although I find no fault in either Ewan's or John's versions.

  • This is my favorite love song! John Barrowman's Amazing! (Though, I think Ewan McGreggor's is still my favorite) But I enjoy Barrowman's voice more than Elton John's (even if he is the original)

  • I love hem

  • He's lovely. As simple as that! He really, truly cares for his fans, and is incredibly talented. What more can you want in someone famous? I've now met him 10 times, and each time he's been so lovely and considerate, and my opinion of him has gone up every time.

  • that was at policemanandrew btw

  • I totally appreciate your view.

    Guess the world would be rather dull if we all had the same tastes, wouldn't it?

  • @policemanandrew GET A GRIP!!!!!!!

    !He is one of the most talented men ever! and he doesn't do anything to get on tv he's on tv because of his talents!!

  • I understand everyone has different tastes, but why did you feel the need to comment if you came across this video by mistake? Just watch something you do like...life's too short and all that..

  • troll harder

  • Well, if somebody is a "troll" for expressing a view, then you are a very sad person.

    But then again posting an inane comment on Christmas Day, I guess you are rather sad.

    Happy New Year, weirdo.

  • i love this song and john barrowman sings it better

  • BEautiful.... 0=)

  • when she says shake about.

    john's face cracks me up! :)

  • myleen talked about this on paul o'grady today :) <3

  • Echt genial! He is absolutely amazing!

  • This amazing!!! I love him...but there's only one person who can sing this perfectly:Ewan McGregor,but John is really good :D

  • Elton John wrote and sang the original. Though JB sings a very, very good version, I like Elton's better, and Ewan's is also very, very good.

  • I know that Elton wrote&sang the original but the song suits Ewan better,JB you're great!!!

  • I think you are right, as Ewen McGregor is a tenor, and Barrowman is a high baritone, and he has some intonation issues and almost cracks on this. Barrowan has better training, of course.

  • *faints* seriously, is there anything this man can't do?

  • shag girls?

  • my fave part too! :')

    xxxx

  • this makes me cry :')

    i love him

    i lve him

    i love him

    i love him

    i love him

    he's amazingly talented <3

  • john u rock! keep with ur talents :D

    big hug from us in grantham

  • I need to listen to this one more. xD I've listened to the Ewan McGreggor one so much that if anyone sings it and doesn't sound like him, I think they fail. But this version is definitely awesome, too. <3

  • I dont know why, but I cried, that's how good this is, he is soooooooooooooooo good!

  • omg his singing is so *sighs* he's also very handsome!

  • John Barrowman is awsome, he is lucky im not gay or i be humping his leg lol

  • aaahhhh jb! love you!!

  • is there anything he can't do?? <3

  • What a NICE guy!

  • I love John!! Did any one else notice that he kinda had his Scottish accent right at the end there?

  • I love him. Simple.

  • Have to say, he has a GREAT voice and I love some of his other songs.

    Does he remind anyone else of Ewan McGregor when he sings?Maybe cause there both Scottish...

  • ohh.myy.word. i love him more than i can possible put down in words!

    Squeeee :) x

  • i agree completely :)

  • Thank God for John Barrowman, at least I can understand the lyrics now.

    Not that I'm slamming Elton John and Ewan McGregor but at least I can understand his singing without the british accent mangling the words.

  • aaah,i love this song,love John,love Torchwood!!!!♥

  • cheers to that!

  • he sent it me again what is wrong with you RYAN!!! lmfao!!! heheheeeeee x

  • this guy sent me this on msn :S haha RYAN!!!!

  • hahahahah yeah because its amazing hahaha

  • Does anyone know if there is a chance of him performing in the U.S.? I would love to hear him sing live.

  • He's performing at Torchsong in the U.S.

    Details can be found on his official website :)

  • What a stunning man. With an equally gorgeous voice. I love this song.

  • Yeh just great. JB is the best. He's on tour now so if you get chance, go see his show, its knockout. Good vid.

  • I saw him last night a Necastle City Hall, he was so funny, and super gorgeous! :P

  • did he do the 'shite' bit?

  • yeah - the bit with his dad with the scottish accent? he did that bit, lol!

  • i seen him last night and he was pretty good

  • great!

  • John Barrowman is perfect.

  • I like John Barrowman. But this performance was a bit... best friend of the groom, wedding singer-ish. Sorry. Interesting anyway.

  • I agree. He is a marvelous singer no doubt just no... "flavah" haha

    but i still like him ^^

  • ....well, my life is officially complete. *squee!*

  • Like this version but Elton John's version is untouchable.

  • Nice, but I prefer Ewan!!

  • Me too!

  • AHH as much as i love John, i have to go with Ewan!! His voice is awsome!!

    :D

  • i am going to see him live on the 22nd of may :)

    xx

  • i am torn, but john is hotter!

  • just to say..ewan had auto tune and sang it mostly in parts..he is high pitched but not a natural singer.. barrowman just did it live out of a studio. i go with barrowman

  • he most certainly does not! I think the best remake of this song was by Ewan McGregor for the movie Moulin Rouge

  • John sings this way better then elton john.

  • oh i love him. he really is such a sexy guy. i wish i still was working with him! he is such a fun guy!

  • This is simply beatiful!

  • agree (Y)

  • muy buena versión de est rolaaaaaaaa

  • he is a good singer...but I do very much prefer to hear Ewan sing it! He knocked me of my socks with his part in Moulin Rouge! Not to mention he looked gorgeous.

    But still I like Johns voice

  • yeah, but john's also gorgeous and it's live while ewan mcgregors version is pre-recorded. ;)

  • exactly. it's really hard to sound good live, but hes amazing.

  • Ewan Mcgregor voice is better. I love his version the best

  • You can't really compare this to the Elton John version. This is based on the Ewan Mcgregor version, it pretty much skips the first two verses and is sung differently. It's good but I prefer the Ewan Mcgregor version. Just my opinion.

  • Actually, Ewan Mcgregor wasn't trained classically like John was. He did himself proud in the movie, but it wasn't exactly live and he didn't have a background in music

  • Elton john sings it in the same key john has a mix of different harmonys which makes his version of the song special.

  • i'm sorry, but i have to tell you you're wrong. john barrowman is to-tal-ly gay. really, he's born gay and has never felt attracted to a woman. he's gay gay gay. i love him though.

  • its the character he plays in torchwood who's gay. John is 100% homosexual. But really... who cares? when he can do something this good? Granted, i can see why ladies might be... disspaointed, but cmon its more about what he can do on stage.

  • Yeah, he is a brilliant talent. But can't we be a bit wistful.Even if he was bi him and Scott are in it for the long run.

  • i fink he sings dis better den elton john but dats just my opinion

  • Oh wow. Simply love this.

  • absolutely beautiful

    thank you for posting it :)

  • I completely agree i wish he wasnt gay :(. Oh well at least this way i can kid myself he would like me if he wasn't HAHA! He has a beauuutiful voice & Moulin Rouge is the best film ever... good combo.

  • such a shame hes gay...so fit!

  • his CD is amazing he has such an amazing talent (: he also sooo funny he is pretty much every girls dream guy lol..great guy :)

  • his voice is amazing!!!!

    i cant stop listening to this <3

  • love him when he sings he gives me the chills

  • Wow! He did a great job with this. I want to get his CD so bad!

  • Every song performed by John makes me really happy. (:

    He's talented in so many ways!

  • My boyfriend has dedicated this song to me... love you Jared xxxx

  • hes singing this to me you know haha!

  • oh god, his voice makes me melt ahhhhhh

  • What a voice, what a talent, what a man! Amazing xx

  • Oh snap I just fell in love... not the first time I fell for a gay man *depressed*

  • Comment removed

  • NO!!! Johns gay? ... are you sure, i thought he and Scott was just a good friend (roll eyes)

    sorry but you deserve this sarcasm because we're not fucking stupid you know. Im a straight woman but i can still fancy the pants off of him and admire he talent, and do you think if he was straight any of us would stand a chance with him? ..... i as most of us are realistic not delusional lovey (roll eyes again)

  • hahaha! :)

  • LOL Ive noticed that i managed to buger up a lot of my words when i wrote that, mainly cos people like that get up my nose LOL.

    I think some people think we are brainless or something .... Sorry to break it to you but Johns gay!! ...no, is he? derrr!!!! LOL

  • OMG he's gay? *faints from shock* (not at the shock of john being gay, but the shock of how fuckin dumb u are) we are his fans, of course we know he's gay! jesus u are dumb! and i agree with asceses anyone can fancy anyone if they like, gay or straight. oh and u shuld do some research his 'boyfriend' is actually his husband! and as for the steryotyping of gays... not totally true, some arent funny at all. John is tho... LOL

  • This is not an easy song to do live either....

  • ooh my god, i totally didnt clock it was Myleene Klass as well till the end,now she is very hot!

  • I normally HATE wonderful classic songs like this changed but i have to say I totally love johns version, in fact the whole album is excellent and not what i thought. I really thought it would/might be just another "elivator" album from a famous person ..... ohhh but how wrong i was, i just love it!!!!, its the best album ive heard in a long long time

    This man is amazing!!! and so sexy too, what a bonus!!! LOL

  • He didn't change this song, Ewan Mcgregor did in Moulin Rouge, he's doing that version.

  • Ahh..... well as you've probably gathered ive not seen that film.

    Thanks for telling me, i appriciate it

  • I figured that much XD. You should most deffinatly see the film. It's probably one of the best musicals ever made. I'm surprised there isn't a cult about it :\

  • Ive never fancied seeing that film..... before now that is, but i just looked up Ewans version of this song and i now so want to see it. To be honest im not a great fan of Nicole Kidman, her voice grates on my nerves but i think ill risk it LOL LOL ...... many thanks to you again

  • Oh of course, no need to thank me. Yeah Nicole Kidman is pretty annoying. This is one of the few films where she's not like 40 pounds. But, all in all it's quite a fantastic concept for a movie. It's just...great...and moving.

  • Well, I think he is brilliant at all that he does. He is simply an all-round entertainer.

    He can sing, dance, act, and present TV shows.

    PLUS he's darned good-looking!! I know he's a bit of a show-off at times, but he's still cute with it! I'd LOVE to meet him!
