[GiRTheDuck]

God thats sooooo good I was nearly in tears ... Brian for Prime Minister

[Phoenixmedianetwork]

[pixargod]

CHISWICK! FRESH HORSES!!

[foleyp1976]

wow, he's good

[wednesdaymac]

I have to go dig out my original London recording of Cats now, just to hear him again as the first Deuteronomy! This man can truly do anything.

[theone225]

Before I watched this, I always thought they were the same people

[Callithyia]

Brian, why aren't you in opera?? Good God, please at least be the Pirate King in Penzance, once, just for me?

[SPDLST]

Magnifico! Encore!

[TCRoofgap]

i thought they were the same person :S

[hellojacobhitch4545]

Kat, shut the fuck up.

[sgtret]

Gordon's Alive!!!!

[lekocafe]

Brian Blessed is just a gift to humanity, we can all aspire to be a little more like him. Class act.

[BeckoningChasm]

I love Brian Blessed. How could we define "bombast" if there were no Brian Blessed?

[Noishe78]

SCRAMBLED!!!!

[GameJourney]

He acts like Robin Williams

[MrBennjjo]

@GameJourney Robin Williams acts like Brian Blessed.

[Firemayden]

@MrBennjjo Pfft! Williams is a sad wannabe.

[kyrax07]

0:19 "Follow me! I'll lead the way!"

[xXHomerSimpsonXx]

[haywoodjabuzzoff]

[PsychoLivo]

Nice one Brian! Very impressive. ^_^

[DrebinNr893]

I am Dave! Yognaut! And I HAVE THE BALLS!!!

[wiseass888]

We must follow me, 0:19!

[Aspire198]

f*** me its brian blessed XD

[Jimmyboy679]

@martythetickler now why woulsd you even doubt him?!

[martythetickler]

@Jimmyboy679 Well, it never occurred to me he'd be able to sing, much less sing THAT.

[nuttygirl2001]

His accent is ridiculously British, but I love it all the same :D

[TheYahmez]

@nuttygirl2001 lol you say that as if its a bad thingm also his accent is posh english, i wouldn't say british (i know england is IN britain but just wouldn't say british)

[PhantomBolt]

@nuttygirl2001 How could he be "ridiculously British" if England is not the only country in Britain..?

[theone225]

I always thought that they were the same person until I sat at home and watched Stars in Their Eyes

[sharkmaster99]

I can finally imagine Professor Griswold!

[joetri10]

@sharkmaster99 i love how most comments on these videos are Yognaughts ;D

[sharkmaster99]

@joetri10 You'd better believe it!

"Follow me!"

[intermender]

There is only one.. Brian Blessed :D

[danielsauntiejo]

WOW!!!

[thejacalofskaro74]

What is he doing with Kenneth Branaghs's dog?

[roquefort88888]

Fuck me, he can sing too...

[JakenJragin]

As Jack black once said.

My voice is, Voice Is.....POWERFUUUUUUL!!!!!!

[rexana]

HOLY CRAP HE'S LIKE PAVAROTTI'S LONG LOST TWIN

[AeonofOblivion]

Cat was all over him like a horny schoolgirl!! Tut!

[kumarg83]

Who the fuck dislikes this?

[15niall]

GOT ANY JAM?!?!?

[sharkmaster99]

@15niall I'm sorry but it's all in the moon.

[lilmisschuckles]

i love brian blessed!

[internecinefine]

What an amazing bloke Brian is.

[Ezhno111]

FOLLOW ME

[TheDisneygirl211]

i watched this as a kid, and i loved it :) <3 well done brian :) x

[netsurferx1]

Because it's mandatory: GORDON'S ALIVE!

[specialistsound]

I absolutely love this guy

[mick82]

not being english, i didn't know brian blessed. when I watched black adder i thought that he looked much like a younger pavarotti, especially the expression of his eyes. in this video, the likeness is astounding... maybe not the voice (that's different, but he's great for being mainly an actor), but the way he moves, looks and acts are almost... true.

[GrahamChapman]

BRIAN BLESSED is one of those people that will probably/hopefully live on forever, just like Shakespear. Such. A. Personality.

[raven66614]

Shitland pony ? D:

WTF :S 

[giygasattack]

@raven66614 Shetland Pony

[Rickashay18]

Well, he looks like him anyway. He doesn't sing like him though. He's got a great voice but it's not like Pavarotti's

[catbass93]

Well, his pronunciation could definitely use some work, but voice-wise...WOW

[Love09081979]

Looks just like Big Pav, but sounds rather like a baritone.;-)

[jakobitis89]

Everyone knows exactly which THAT line is!

[syntaxx91]

FOLLOH ME

[teddybrownlegend]

What a star!

[ryananderson280195]

i mentioned this to him and he nearly killed me

[godzilloid]

Is there anything he can't do???

[KamiKaZantA]

I wish I could be like Brian Blessed, down to earth and just be himself.

[coberself]

Legend !!

[starcommand84]

he looks just like Pavarotti

[CorriTimigan]

He's always joking when he says it, but I seriously believe there is no end to Brian Blessed's talents! Brought a tear to my eye!

[Sam93Brown]

is there anything he cant do????? speak quietly i suppose lol

[TheGeneralCritic]

I Blessed'd my pants.

[jamesdrewry001]

The title of 'Sir Brian Blessed' would definitely suit this great man!

[DivineRequiem]

Long live Brian Blessed!!!!

[Bozpot]

Hmm...sounds like Brian Blessed to me, not Luciano Pavarotti. Not bad for a Brian Blessed impression, though! Very powerful and rich.

[sirtinycreep]

This was a great show, far better than X Factor crap.

[OLDMANBADGER]

awesomeness of the Blessed . Worship him

[babystinky]

no one in the world can sing pavs. nice try though:)

[llewsedwod]

@babystinky

So 'O Sole mio' was written in 1898... and it wasn't originally by Pavarotti.. SO I think that anyone has the right to sing the song...

Pavarotti gave his own interpretation and it was wonderful...

[HikoSeijuroXIII]

Replace every narration in film history with Brian's voice. What's changed?

[TheRumpoKid]

7 people dont understand how cosmically AWESOME this man is!! :-o

[atticusboyx]

BLESSED FOR PM!

[ghydhgis]

he deserves to be the owner of the universe

[Hotshotter3000]

Brian Blessed didn't act in Star Wars, but he should have. Seriously, that was a friggen awesome performance on stage.

[calvin567]

@Hotshotter3000 he did, he was in Episode I as king of the gungans ^^

[Hotshotter3000]

@calvin567 Boss Nass was voiced by Brian Blessed? Darn, I didn't know that.

[lh16]

@Hotshotter3000 he shouldve been darth vaders voice

[TheThing88]

@lh16 Haha, just imagine that:

NO, LUKE, YOU IMBECILE, I'M YOUR FATHER!

[JakenJragin]

@lh16 Wow! I just imagined an amalgamation of James Earl Jones and Brian Blessed's voice.....and i had to change my pants.

[drew2pac]

i love brian blessed! the guy is a legend in the purest form of the word!

[MrBluntCunt]

I remember this. It was superb.

[grimTales1]

Awesome job by Brian Blessed, singing opera is very difficult to do.

He looks like he really enjoyed it up there

[ukchris64]

Fantastic, this guy is just so funny, although try looking up 'The Brian Blessed song.'

Great live in a pub

[FinalGamerJames]

Goddamn that's beautiful. Amazing Blessed.

[wesker100000000]

Gordons alive.

[TJB147]

does anybody know the name of the song that starts at 0:21?

[gcfcjohn]

@TJB147 Lucky Man by Verve

[Andreazor]

Where does this man get all his energy from? Such a non-stop full throttle man!

[seredin89]

2:20

"...the fuck is this guy?"

poor young folk.

[ukstevey]

Hehe pretty good.

[CidSilverWing]

Goodness me, he ranks right up there with Tony Jay O.o

[53104]

This is the shit!!

He looks and sounds a lot like him

[godzilloid]

Why do they give him a microphone? He doesn't need it.

[MaskedMan66]

@godzilloid I know what you mean! He came to a "Doctor Who" convention in Chicago years ago, and in an auditorium filled with 1000 people, he most certainly did not need a mic!

[Kropikovo]

@godzilloid It was just for recording purposes ;)

[nickshel]

@godzilloid Are you going to read his lips then?

[veteran501]

What a funny person :D and his voice is marvelous!

[sompret]

Ah Brian. The more I watch of you, the more I think you're a jolly manchild of a giant dwarf with a bombastic voice.

[Widmerpool99]

Absolute straight-up legend, bringing loud beardy joy to successive generations. Brian Blessed and Tom Baker should do a live mad-off against each other, to see who really is King Mad.

[jacksawild]

Of course he doesn't compare to Pavarotti but it does not matter.. he's Brian Fucking Blessed.

[Mole1992]

hes a true entertainer and FUCKING HILARIOUS

[kkontiki]

I hate this shows which show nothing more than wanna-be nobodies.

[UnaBooker]

@kkontiki Whatever, but I think you will find that Brian Blessed is DEFINATELY not a wanna-be nobody. Perhaps if you had taken the time to punctuate your sentence it wouldn't have taken me so long to 'try' and work out what the hell you were moaning about!

[audimanpov]

The man is a living legend !! Jesus H Christ, if Katherine Zeta Jones can get a bloody CBE then Brian more than deserves a gong.

[dragonballfan4321]

wow un b  lievable

[janegael]

He's a national treasure -- why hasn't he been knighted?????

[sharkboy214]

old man blessed had a farm ei ei oh ha ha funny

[TayR0C]

holy fuck. He looks just like him

[hop208]

I keep seeing him as the Ghost of Christmas Present. Did he ever play that part?

[sweenyadam]

Dude is a big singer anyway. Wasn't he in 'Cats'?

[Helldeskr]

Well ,

Maybe it's not perfect..but he could fool me..

Brian is the greatest... i did not know he was boss nass , but ofcourse it;s him

BE GONE WITH HIM ! !!!

actually he could also do a voice double for Patrick Steward ;)

[foreverbrotherinarms]

For people who dont know: Brian Blessed played 'boss nass' (the gungan leader) in star wars: episode 1

[DanRaccoon]

did he win on that ep? I never saw it D:

[McPrfctday]

He still runs 10 miles a day at 73. Chuck who?

[IMI212]

Yes Brian can sing classically but his phonetics are all wrong.He's not pronouncing the words or holding the notes as it should be done

[thehoff1982]

the universe can't handle brian - he's awesome!!!

[ElendilARK]

XD That man...what a legend.

[JacknifeSoprano92]

2000 animals!!!!

[KateLarking]

Awesome - what a voice! Check out his starring role in the short film MR BOJAGI - google it.

[cptfunkstar]

No wonder a tramp thought he was Pavarotti! Fuck me, he's a dead ringer, he can sing too, the guy's a genius!

[drleatherface]

What a legend.

[domparis1978]

## Just one Cornetto....Give it to meeeeee ##

[harrison42247]

what a great man on my top 3 of all time people I would like to meet

[SPeacock]

Brilliant performance by the one and only Brian Blessed :) Great guy.

[fonecrusher1]

The guy is built like a tank. Must have played rugby at some stage.

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

He can do ANYTHING!

[MattyMerrt]

Give him a knighthood!!!

[queenoftartan]

Why does Kat Deeley talk to him like he's a slow learner?

[TatooineWindAndFire]

Finally putting his volume to good use!

[Callithyia]

"He's still laughing!" XD Love that man!

[antsman88]

come on. who else could have done pavarotti!

[hugh0221]

Brian Blessed indeed. He's truly blessed actor. =)

[GusF]

Apparently, his dad lived to be 99 and all of his uncles lived to be much the same age. Let's hope that he does too!

[lukenukem1976]

@GusF

His Dad is still going and is 102 !

[GusF]

@lukenukem1976 I hate to correct but he says in that Richard and Judy interview in the related videos that his dad died in 2007 and that he was 99.

[lukenukem1976]

@GusF Sorry, the other half was using my account and I did not make that statement, however I can tell that you that on the 21/5/2010 at the Medina theatre he stated that his father was still alive at 102. I'm more than a little pissed that he is fibbing about such things.

[GusF]

@lukenukem1976 Really? That's a bit odd. It's hard to know which to believe in that case. Why would he lie about it in either case?

[lukenukem1976]

@GusF Really! And why? Gawd knows! I think we should google into it! :)

[sailingforde04]

@GusF He's a national treasure - one of the best things about the UK!

[hollywoodwerewolf]

@GusF living until 99 while working in their prime as miners. Strong, strong men.

[MyMerlin1]

He would make a good father christmas.

[otikya]

What do you mean? He is father chrismas..

[MaskedMan66]

@otikya Has he EVER played the Ghost of Christmas Present? If ever a man was born to play a role...

[moonshoes1000]

I reckon top man he really enjoys the lime light.. Good for him

[Nibor7301]

He actually sings quite well! He's amazing, and so full of life!

[Deoceres]

Hoooooooooolllllleeeee sheeeeet :O I love this man even more now! What a legend!

[hmrdulcimer]

Amazing. I had no idea he could sing so well. Bravo, Blessed!

[denton908]

He used to act in musical theatre. He really is a great man.

[phalanger2000]

@hmrdulcimer blessed my hole...talented

[Lobos222]

"...the trouble of going through that door and being somebody else was terrifying..."

Why do I find that strange coming from an actor?

[AECSRQ]

only Brian Blessed could have pulled that off so well.

[ste309w]

living legend!

[orichalcoshotmailcom]

how can you not love Brian Blessed?

[Remorse1994]

72? he could pass for 40!

[DeAztec62]

he wasnt 72 then

[Exarian]

he has the strongest voice I've ever heard.

[TobeUK]

did he win?

[DemonicGenocide]

@TobeUK I think so ya

[chapmasi]

one of Yorkshires finest exports :)

[alexjonesfan]

I've loved him since his 'Fancy Smith' days but didn't realise he had such a good voice. Can't believe he's 72!

[darkcolmar]

the resemblance is uncanny

[Kakutachi]

woooow

he is soooo wasome!

[punkromantic]

hes 72!!

[TheWarmLittleCentre]

he looks 10 years younger eh?

[Charapova100]

i know, he's amazing!! born in 1936 and he's still doing panto and stuff, i went to see him yesterday in Aladdin

[lunchboxattacks1]

The man is a treasure.
