  • amazing performance !!! for me much more better than Cumming ...

  • such a brave guy

  • @lbendik6301 watch Alan cummings version and you'll see brave

  • @SchiffThomas the difference is that alan cummings has not only done other works that required him to be outside the norm, but he is also more sexually ambiguous in his real life. I.e., he doesn't normally have to prescribe to gender role norms. John Stamos is usually thought of as very masculine and thus is supposed to act a certain way; this role is a huge move away from that. Sorry, im a psych student lol.

  • @lbendik6301 John also seems a bit more ...... I don't think i wanna say clean cut but ........ Yeah Alan's just more into it, and just melts into the roll lol

  • Alan Cumming did a better job ....

  • @SchiffThomas I totally agree, he´s performance was so fluid, so effortlessness, so sexual and yet so natural... Alan Cumming is one of the best Emcee´s (if not the best)

  • Comment removed

  • You like her? So does Rosie! gaspppp uncle jessie! hahahah

  • Much more respect for John Stamos now.

  • Mucho mejor escenografiA en el cabaret venezolano hecho por Luis fernandez.

  • OMG ITS JOHN STAMOS!!!

    I didnt realize that til 0:25 XD

  • Ehhh... I liked NPH and Alan Cumming better...

  • Damn even as freaky Emcee he's still hotter than hell! He's such a great actor, singer, dancer...he's got talent! And he's so hilarious, plus extremely brave to get in stage in that outfit...haha.

  • He's absolutely wonderful! 8D

  • Super, ich liebe dieses Musical, erst recht mit Mr. Stamos

  • Wow!

  • Hes great!!!!!!!

  • Uncle Jessie!

  • WHAT IS THE TITLE?

  • lol Fabulous!

  • U get the impression that its not a real cabaret, and it seems really scripted the way he does it unlike alan cummings

  • John Stamos isn't the best, but he is certainly far better than he let's on.

  • why would ppl come to this vid just to dislike it T_T

  • I actually really appreciate his work in this role. Alan Cummings was so amazing and ultimately iconic that most of the following MC's regardless of talent come across as watered down imitations. Stamos is uncomfotable w/the dance aspect of what he's doing but he is SO different from Cummings (and has a great voice) that I can enjoy the performance without comparing the two. He has some accent issues here and there but still..he's good.

  • @PeekabooS1 I really agree with your comment and I'm glad it was said. I hope you get enough thumbs up to make it to the top of the comments.

  • i love this. like omg. i love it.

  • GOOD BUT ALAN CUMMINGS WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!

  • sexier emcee ever!!

  • @tranurse

    thanks for the info ;-)

    ah well, plenty more fish on the beach.

  • my goodness, john stamos!

    what an interesting role to play...

  • @CATtie397 for most it is a surprise to see john stamos playing a very different character than you are prolly familiar with, but let me explain to you why john would pick a kind of role like this. john did not start out on full house, yet a lot of people know him as uncle jesse. they also see him as uncle jesse when he's not, he's john stamos. when rolls come along where he doesn't have to play a character like uncle jesse, he goes for it so that he could show you all that he's not uncle jesse.

  • i like him!!

  • He is fantastic! He uses the same adlibs as Alan Cumming but presents them in a totally different way, which is brilliant to see! I think the others such as NPH and Raul are amazing too, but they use their own adlibs to make it original, which is amazing but its great to see that he uses the same ones but makes it totally different, true talent :)

  • He'll do for me! Now someone shatter my dream & tell me he's straight in real life.

    @old blue scott....kannste mal mit dem staendigen Wiederholen Deines negativen Kommentars aufhoeren? Ich meine die Darstellung war hervorragend.

  • @peddytheviking he is. he used to be married to rebecca romain, and i know i spelled that wrong. sorry.

  • Uncle Jessie!

  • i want to see this soooo badly!!!

  • John Stamos' German is just horrible.

  • @oldbluescott

    bon soir is francais. so is bienvenue ;)

    his german is horrible but i loved this. never thought i would see john stamos do this.

  • @bcrocker33 Yes, much of the lyrics are the same statements repeated in German, French, and English. I can't speak for how good his French is, but his German makes my ears bleed. Still, I love John Stamos and want to see this show live!

  • @oldbluescott I don´t think his German is awful. Ich finde sogar, dass er ganz gut deutsch spricht, denn vor allem für Englischsprachige ist die deutsche Aussprache ein ziemlich harter Brocken :3

    Great performance!!!

  • John Stamos is far more talented than alan cumming!

  • Johhy I hardly knew ye! Fabulous!

  • John Stamos what a versital actor!

  • HOLY SHIITT!!!!

  • Hilarious at 6:13 !!!!

  • That was fricking amazing . . .I wouldn't have believed he had it in him! So glad to be wrong.

  • Holy Crap!!! I went half way through it without knowing who it was!!! He did amazing!!! Loved it, and my respect for him has really grown!!! And now I see why my Mom thinks he's sexy!!! lol

  • Loved it!!!!!

  • sooo cool!

  • It is in the beginning!

  • I have a question.

    What's scene of CABARET?

  • holy crap i didnt think he was this good

  • I saw him twice in the part and he was amazing

  • do you know who the Sally was at this performance?

  • Mary-Kate?  :-P

  • is this really john stamos?????????

  • Yes, that's him

  • I don't think I'll ever be able to watch Full House ever again. At least not in the same mindset...*shudder*

    I ♥ John Stamos! :)

  • what is his name?

    I love his!!!!!

  • This is NOT John Stamos! Holy shit!

  • This guy's got a better voice than Cumming but Cumming gives it more attitude.

  • Still think i might like Alan Cumming a little better. but this is DEFINITELY a close second!

  • Hilarious adlibs....woke ppl in my house up laughing.....and sweet god, that package looks lethal. Surprised one of the girls didn't lose an eye....

  • BEST

  • I was thinking the same....Uncle Jessie...what the fart? LOL. I love it!!!

  • this is not at all like the uncle jessie i know!

    wow what a suprise i had no clue he would be doing broadway, he doesn't seem like that type of person!!!

    but i like it!!! :):):)

  • his accent is not the best. its sort of hard to understand his speaking. but his singing his gorgeous!

  • why is it over 14's over

  • he's hot!!!!

  • Caberet is so good!!!!

  • omg....i have never seen a sexier version :) love yas john stamos!!!

  • Comment removed

  • WHATS THIS???

  • Yeah, he opens a door at the back of the stage and comes out.

  • Uncle Jessie what happened to you haha

  • @ACTTEENS2008 thats the person who plays uncle jessie wow

  • @ACTTEENS2008 Watch his biography. He wanted to pull away from the charming character of Uncle Jesse because nobody knew him as anything other than that.

  • @love2liveit correct like i tryed to explain on here before. people see him as uncle jesse, and some don't even know who john stamos is, less you mention uncle jesse. i find it to be very annoying, and as you can see from the roles that he jumps on, john wants to go in another direction with his characters as well. i am sure he is also a lil bit annoyed with it as well.

  • i love Caberet and I love him!

  • Wow. It took me 2/3 into the video to realize that was John Stamos...

  • thats good though, right?? a sign of a good actor!!

  • recontra chevere!!

  • who was the sally?

  • I feel hes incoherent, and doesnt inunciate...hhmm I like Alan Cumming more

  • who played sally bowles here?

  • lots of adlibs. very funny. he did a great job.

  • honey, let joel grey do the moment. he's best at it :)

  • wow i am extremely shocked..wow. its really good. very very good!

  • I think he is wonderful.

  • he did pretty good, he is more funny than creepy which is different for the emcees that i have seen. Personally i like the creepy emcees i think the creepiness brings comedy to itself without trying just because the emcee is so strange rather than an actor try to preform the character as a comedy

  • even though hes a tv and movie actor, he pretty good

    not as creepy as creepy as joel grey in the movie...*shudders*

  • oh my god!

    i love joel gray as the emcee. he IS the original after all.

    personally, i think alan cumming was the creepiest but yeah, joel gray is also up there, haha.

  • he's better than the movie

  • he is amazing!!! who is he???

  • john stamos.

    he most famously played "uncle jesse" on full house.

  • That's not uncle jesse is it?

  • indeed it IS john stamos...

  • Um, this is bad. Wow, how much stage experience does he have

  • ehm... srry, but he isn't Asier Etxeandia.

  • he is Asier Etxeandia from spain!!

  • Pretty dang good. Well well well, who knew?

  • i am like wow

  • or perhaps it is a character choice to show how laid back and carefree the character is. Granted he isn't Joel Grey or Alan Cumming, but it's John Stamos...the guy from Full House. Give him a break he did a pretty good job

  • Wow, This is one of the most AMAZING Emcees I have ever seen!!!

  • My respect and liking of John stamos just went waaayyy up. This is awesome. I love the putting his hands in his pockets thing. I don't think he brought enough femininity to the role, but other than that, he's great!

  • This is suprisingly good! I never knew John Stamos had it in him.

    I dont think Alejandro Parker is actually "more better". I find his moaning, woo-ing and laughing during the performance a little distracting; I feel it takes away from the song instead of enhancing it....:/

    But of course, that's just my humble opinion. ;)

  • I love this version of the song! It's the best I've seen so far on youtube. I have yet to go and see Cabaret on stage. I think that John Barrowman would be good at playing this role :D

    I love how this guy says virgins. His face as he says it is too cute :D

    x

  • I JUST LOVE JOHN STAMOS

  • That is very sexy. Fab. Brilliant comic timing in it, great jokes. Love it.

  • That was insanely good.

  • Take a look at the argentinian Emcee, Alejandro Paker... you will see he's much more better

  • he is sssssoooooooo sexy!!!!

    and i love that song!!!!

  • He's amazing

  • he is, I keep coming back to this video.. I think he's my favorite Emcee

  • He's definetly MINE ^^

    I have seen this video sooooooooo many times

  • I remember when I first heard he was gonna be Emcee. I was like What??? But then I really think he was really great in the role. I think he knew people would be like WHAtT at first,, and wanted to surprise us all. lol

  • the best

  • wow, he's good (not to mention sexy:) ). my fave emcee is actually michael c hall of 'dexter' and 'six feet under' fame.

  • JOHN STAMOS?!?!!? He did great, but I prefer Alan

  • cabaret! cabaret!! cabaret!!!

  • I think joel grey was the best

  • no doubt joel gray invinted the role but i do love jhon

  • Non, Nono non pas de tout de rienne, vouleez vous... HE's origaianl, spoofing on the origianl show, the dude is straght likes zeeee womens...with 2 fingers not 3 :)

  • I think he did a good job with this. Pretty funny, but the one thing I hate is his dancing. I know the dances and choerography but he does it too fast and quick! I like it smooth and sexy... if you know what I mean. And NO, he doesn't stand a chance against Joel Grey or Alan Cumming... but, he still is funny qith some "added" stuff! :)

  • All I have to say is, "Scoreboard". You can hear people loving it and going somewhere away from the bustle of the city for a while. Great job John Stamos!

  • Stamos was good as the emcee, but he can't compare to Joel Grey and Alan Cumming. Grey played the part a bit evil and as if he truly was the emcee. Cumming played the emcee as more naughty and seemed to be having a spontaneous interaction with the audience, even though he was in full control. Stamos seemed to be acting a part and making choreographed moves and was more tongue in cheek than evil or risque as Grey and Cumming were. Only problem with Alan is that he gets too risque at times.

  • It's good, but he butchers the French...

  • Sorry, but my previous comment did not state that I have to date not found a full recording of the John Stamoa version of Cabaret the revival. There is a version of most of the complete play with Alan Cummings. It is on You Tube and is the "Donmar Warehouse" production of the play in about seventeen scenes. It was made for TV so it is CLOSE to the play on stage, but like the movie version with Joel Grey, it was a bit sanitized and de-sexualized.

  • This version with John Stamos, in my opinion, is so far the best interpretation of the Emcee. It's more androgenous, less femmy, and may confuse one. John plays the part as masculine with little hints of femininity. Confusing at best, sexy, cute, and sometimes disturbing. Watch the whole play. The ending is disturbing and sad and maya shed some light on his character.

  • He's not gay enough but is better than Adam as Emcee I'm afraid

  • i'm just glad he didn't still act like a rock star *cough adam pascal cough*

  • No way!

    This is John Stamos!

  • Omg, I know right? I started watching this thinking, wow, this is gonna be a laugh. And it was...but not 'cause he sucked!! His performance is my favorite on youtube! Lol.

  • I like the original dude more. xDD

    John's good though.

  • Gee. He's playing this character exactly like Alan Cummings played it. Is he supposed to be doing that, because if not he's cheating. You're supposed to make the character your own, not rip off someone else's work.

  • Hmmm...I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that. I'm a big fan of Alan Cummings, but to me, he plays it CREEPY. It gives me the willies. And I like this version b/c, atleast in this scene, I feel like John Stamos makes it more playful. And I like his improv. ^.^

  • HaHa, that's what happens when an actor lacks true talent. He either plays a character exactly as it's written, or copies the performance from someone talented.

  • who was the sallt bowles to his emcee?

  • That was pretty great. xD

  • he looks gay

    xD

    i love john stamos

    and he speaks german too xD (0:51 & 0:45) xD

  • LOLOLOL.

  • Woooow John Stamos is surprisingly good. I would've paid to see him (but I was only 8 or 9 when he was the Emcee and I don't think my parents would've brought me to watch this).

  • that was about 7 or so when she first seen it xP

  • I like the fact that he loses the accent. It makes it more mysterious, like the Emcee is playing a part.

  • i think it depends on which version of the play you like morer to tell who is better at playing the host-i think there all good in different ways but in my opinion joel grey the overall best by far!!

  • one of the hottest things I've ever seen

  • hawt.

  • He keeps losing his accent.

  • he does but he's still doing a good job so u kinda forgive it cuz it's not really horrible!

  • John Stamos Did A Pretty Good Job.But I'm More Fond Of Fabian Richard,But He Still Does Great.And Helga Is Pretty Hot In This Cast I Would Tap That :D I Would Try Helga!

  • I don't really like John Stamos, but I love him as the Emcee!! I thought he was fantastic!

    If only the kids could see their "Uncle Jesse" in THIS video xD

  • This was a really great performance. I've seen the show several times. This was one of the better shows.

  • *applause*

    Excellent Emcee.

  • Ah, but nobody will ever compare to Joel Grey...

  • I saw Joel Grey do Cabaret in person years ago, and I think John Stamos does it just as good, if not better !

  • ces magnifique

  • I saw him live and the show was amazin! So was he...

  • love it

  • omg!! i cant believe john stamos did cabaret! how cool/weird!

  • his face is beautiful

  • Julian Clary was excellent as the Emcee in the West End. Suited him right down to the ground.

  • The new West End production of Cabaret is one of the best ever!

  • ALAN WAS HORRIBLE AND DID NOT NEED MAKEUP.HE WAS SO UGLY.JOHN WAS PERFECT AS EMCEE AND VERY;VERT GOOD:JOHN AND NEIL lead Cabaret Star Rankings.

  • Please tell me how he was horrible. Do you even have a reason? And no, being ugly is not a reason.

  • JOHN STAMOS WAS THE BEST EMCEE EVER!!!

  • I didn't like it....he's way too manly.

  • i have to admit neil patrick harris comes a close 2nd to alan

  • alan cumming was the best emcee

    john's not horrible but...

    the fact remains

  • John Stamos And Neil Harris lead Cabaret Star Rankings.

  • I watch them all too and John STamos was the best and hottest of them all.ALAN WAS SOOOOO UGLY. By the way John and Neil Harris got the biggest ratings.

  • I thought Alan was awesome! So funny!

  • Alan Cumming was without a doubt the best Emcee. Broadway is not about looks (and John Stamos isn't that good looking), it's about talent and Alan Cumming is more talented. Joh Stamos is good but Alan Cumming is the best. Have you seen his video where he sings I don't care much? It's amazing.

  • John played Emcee in six months.HE was the best of all.Alan was so ugly.John was so hot,hot,hot.

  • Are you really judging performance by looks? That's shallow.

  • was he a replacement with the '98 Broadway Production?

  • Unfortunately yes...

  • Oh. My. God...Is that really John Stamos? As in "Uncle Jesse" John? o.0

  • Have Mercy.
