John Barrowman - It Only Takes A Moment

[surferbra23]

I didn't know Tom Cruise could sing?

[pennypyro42]

@surferbra23 lol that's not Tom Cruise

[surferbra23]

@pennypyro42 Usually some people catch on with the sarcasm but in your case it might take a while.

[pennypyro42]

@surferbra23 well i kinda thought you might not be serious...

[brittanyavocado]

I have so many feelings. I LOVE YOU JOHN BARROWMAN. I LOVE THIS SONG. OH GOD. ;____; <3 <3

[denizyyy]

Wow so hübsch und so eine schöne Stimme = Traummann

[xXnaDilXx]

@denizyyy du weißt, dass er schwul ist..^^ ansonsten ich stimm dir zu

[cptrgkirk]

Outstanding ... I love this song and Barrowman did it very well. I will be searching for his music and enjoying his tunes soon.

[FayFlouriteFan]

He's Scottish, bisexual, hot as hell, and can sing. Definitely a candidate for Man of the Year. :D

~FFF

[julia651117]

@FayFlouriteFan John's not bisexual - he's Gay

[LvCrochet]

i love him.

[scottstheone2]

no, but a 58 yr old man with NO kids can. That'd be me.

[aquaticmechanic]

i love john barrowman, but his singing performances seem very inconsistent in quality... 

[PigPenguin91]

I LOVE THIS MAN. He's a brilliant actor, and Jack is one of my favorite Doctor Who characters. But also, he has a flippin' fantastic voice!! He can sing big, theatre numbers like this, but he also sounds amazing on more pop songs.

[belladonna1999]

he's like a scottish tom cruise only better

[GamingAirbender]

John Barrowman for the next Glee guest star!! :D

[CamilleonProductions]

That's really creepy. He goes from action-packed Captain Jack to poised, almost-opera classic singing. Awesome though.

[Avyncentia]

John Barrowman sings WAY better than he acts (Torchwood, anyone?).

[pdrow1]

He shows a bit of potential, lolz.

[ReneeMauriceOriginal]

Only a little bit of clapping? Come on!!!

[tehpixie]

captain jack have my babies

[ColtsBrasslineBR]

Captain Jack Harkness!!!

[cajungial]

Swoon @ 0:55 and 2:05..... *sigh*

[Scubaqueen111]

Marcy, oh... HELL , YES when that crush is the incomparable John Barrowman!! Move over babe, I'm 54!! :D

[TAGE0808]

.lpl

[TAGE0808]

Would you send me lyrics of this song to gjj9504@ymail.com?

[MegaMuffinLad]

I was Cornelius in my schools recent production of Hello, Dolly! I did a good job, but no performance I have seen of this song has beat this guys.

[04fieldshield]

Just as i listed in "Wall-E"

[davetheking1000]

hot hot hot

[SuXperia1]

Hi, can anyone tell me which version this is and where I can find the notation of this version?

[MegaBeecharmer]

Realy like this song , sung by J.Barrowman, he is such a happy fellow , just have to love him , donsent one !.Amazing in "La Cage Aux Folles" realy good show, dont let America take John from the U.K !. As we love him here.

[kate22uk]

@MegaBeecharmer I don't think we have much to worry about - John and Scott are Brits through & through...John might take visits to the US for work but reckon he knows where his home is :-D

[ElxViraxCromwell]

Holy Crap! GO CAPTIAN JACK! (his role in Dr. Who) He is amazing..xDDD I would lov tosee him play the role of Cornelius if they re-made it..Though nobody could play Dolly like Babs

[HortensiaBubbles]

@ElxViraxCromwell - I dunno. I wouldn't mind seeing Ruthie Henshall take a crack at Dolly!

[rogharm]

fabulous voice and orchestration. love it!!!!!!******great voice correct arrangement!!!!!!!!!!******ROG­HARM in great minor key operatic arrangement. he has correct phrasing and voice control. rated 11+

[ShanniBan123]

He has such a beautiful voice. Fantastic :-)

[FunFlirtyFlute]

wow!

Gotta love it, he's AMAZING. I seriously think I'm in love

Not only that but this is an incredible register for a guy to sing in, bravo!

[Saphira4eva]

I look at you John Barrowman, and all I can see is Captain Jack >.> It's very sad. Sorry.

[4xl5yk7p]

What a wonderful performer... he compels us to watch and listen... and it is truly wonderful to easily understand the words!!

[eumaximodemimmesmo]

ahhh i prefeer michael crawford's version... that ones makes me cry...

[gs85retired]

Thank for your woinderful song. You have suck a great voice

[bluejaybelle]

iT MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME IHEAR IT.iTS SO STUNNINGLY MOVING!!!

[PigPenguin91]

I just LOVE him! Too bad he's way too old for me, doesn't know I exist, is happily in a relationship, and is gay. :( Oh well, I can admire form afar. He has such an amazing voice!!!!!!!!! He's a fantastic, actor, too, but until recently I didn't realize he sung. His voice just leaves me speechless, it's so amazing.

[sandyforgod]

Aside from a love song to a lover, what a wonderful way for a father to honor the birth of his baby daughter!

[bookworm266]

@sandyforgod - very good point.

[leyreita]

Este hombre es una maravilla

[stonetemplepilot420]

hes a really good singer but for some reason i like the michael crawford version better

[Rubberman202]

...Hearing this song makes me think of WALL-E and that beautiful ending!

[GameShowGuy]

Touching and wonderful.

[rogharm]

he is new to me but he sounds great. great voice and orchestration. great post love it. ROGHARM thanks for posting!!!!GREAT*******

[kaocean]

too cute for words....such a voice, such a look!!!

[funnygames1]

If Tom Cruise could sing...

[dance2Bhappy13]

HAHAHAA omg!

[MinhChau31]

Both John's voice and the melody of this song are mesmerizing :x

[MargOZ01]

That was gorgeous!  :-)

[iamthestarlight001]

he looks so young!!!! aww bless i just wanna put him in my pocket and take him home!! love you john

[tytyty858]

the incredible John Barrowman

[MrMoviemaster26]

Absolutely amazing!!! Best version ever & he's such an incredible performer & fantastic as Captain Jack Harkness

[jimene89]

Omg! I love this song! And John makes it even better! (Faints in happiness) I never knew he could sing that well!

[mariokart81]

captain jack is back!!!

[blair4jim]

Absolutely beautiful, John Barrowmans voice at it's best.

[TheCharliemartinjr]

That's really wonderful!!! I really love this song! John Barrowman is a great singer!

[PiscesPrincess77]

Love his classical voice

[Kismetico]

Michael Crawford sang this in the film Hello Dolly, at that time , young and sweet as John B is in this clip......Michael went onto huge fame as the Phantom in the the stage version.

Good film i Dolly was too.

[Broadwaychica]

*grins* I love John Barrowman. Seriously, we need more people with his kind of talent! :D

[knl143]

Too bad... Many teenagers likes modern songs today... :P

[crayonpafc]

I'm 17 and most of my ipod and music that I listen to are from musicals and are mainly John Barrowman XD

I don't like many modern songs really

[knl143]

lol we have the same age... im 17 too

and i like oldies like Air Supply and like orchestra a bit... :)

[POPNFRESH271]

SAMEEEE!!

[RainOnYourParade0x]

Totally agreed! Musicals are better XD

[Cookiie1234]

i'm sixteen and ive got bob dylan, beatles, david bowie on mine. and a hell of alot of john barrowman and musical number. :P

hehe.

[knl143]

hey im seventeen! xD

[saxophinc]

Me too. :) hip hop and rap are not music there just a bunch of words mixed together with one simple beat playing over and over again.

[marjasofia94]

yes but his hair cut was terible at this day, wassn't it?!

he looks so cute in Torchwood!

[bimba2021]

marjasofia94 - I agree, the haircut wasn't as flattering to JB as the Capt Jack Harkness look. Remember that this performance is from 2003, and was broadcast on PBS in the USA in August, 2004. The concert was called "An Evening with the Pops- A Salute to Jerry Herman". The orchestra backing JB is the Boston Pops Orchestra with conductor Keith Lockhart.

[crochetingmama]

Geogrous!! He is so talented and it so dosent hurt that he is way sexy. I am so jelous of Scott Gil right now!!!

[astroxzombiexlove]

I'm always jealous of him :(

[wanturlove]

Shame on you cretins who write such disgusting sentences. Not only has America dumbed down, but civility seems to have gone by the wayside.

[KSUgolfstud89]

Wonderful Song!!!!!

[bananya122cliff]

why are you watching this then? save your comments for people who give a shit.

[temarifanatic03]

only way i can describe you: an INTOLERANT, IGNORANT ASSHOLE WHO DOESN'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT

[thatduffgirl]

My son's kindergarten teacher looks just like John Barrowman. I never miss a PT conference. Heehee...

[Xfel13]

John Barrowman is fantastic! I admire him and I love his singing because he truly sings from his heart

[weemouse101]

No wonder why he's such a draw card in Torchwood. :-)

[mashamaven]

John, you are wonderful! Can a 58 year old woman with three (25, 27, 31) sons have a crush on you?

marcy

[sarahstoneham5]

@mashamaven i think its ok, im 15, hes gay, 44, married with three dogs i think we havent got a hope in hell, but its always fine to love him

[TheDoctorWholigan]

@mashamaven sure barrowman turns straights, gay and lesbians stright

[sbergman27]

@TheDoctorWholigan Well... I'm Gay, and have never been a Barrrowman fan. Perhaps because in the new "faux who" he played a character who was far too full of himself.

But I must say, this is good. He reminds me of Streisand, here. This was a "Hello Dolly" song. But it wasn't sung by Dolly. He's singing it like Streisand would have sung it. And he does it with enough feeling to avoid my thinking "Hey! This guy is full of himself!". Great performance!

[TheDoctorWholigan]

@sbergman27 i think that you may not be a borrowman fan bc you knew what he was like before doctor who and couldn't accept the character i though he played very well.

[sbergman27]

@TheDoctorWholigan In fact, I'd never even heard of him before his appearance as Harkness. I'm sure Barrowman played it well. I should probably clarify by saying that I didn't care for the character.

[Brownshoe24]

John Barrowman can sing

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

@Brownshoe24 it only iss springtime for hitler and germanyyy

[KryazhevKonstantin]

просто супер!!!

[clareandellie]

i think he looks sexy. so BLAH to all you who think he looks bad ¬¬

yeah anyway, he is gay. so, :)

he's also very sexy, cute, amazing and sweet.

love john barrowman <3

ellie x

[leisor]

i don't think he has a problem with looking and sounding gay. after all he IS gay. lol

[AutumnTheMagic]

rhaaa holy damnation ! (yes it's my expression :p) I would like just one day, one moment, just John, me and his great.. talent (lol) he have a so beautiful voice..

i'm in love i think lol, when i hear this song (by john) I float.. it's strange but so good inside !

[colinmcphan]

I like Johns voice but I miss the passion and tenderness that Michael Crawford sang it with in the movie Hello Dolly. Michael sounded like a young man in love. This just sounds like a nice version. I also hope Michael gets back to performing soon and records a new version of this song. I also wish John amd Michael would team-up and do something together!

[laimitoshka]

the most wonderful man in the warld

[RunzN2Walls]

What is a warld?

[Lobeley]

i think it means world.. ;)

[lilsweetpegasus]

Even heavier sigh.....

[mikeyirish1967]

(heavy sigh)

[spazmoidium60]

Who cares what he's wearing? He could be dressed in a ragged T-shirt and jeans for all I care. John is incredibly talented and I must admit, incredibly nice to look at. I didn't know until recently that he could sing at all. I've been amazed by his talent.

[NotaFro]

he's a fantastic singer and an incredibly good-looking man, but i don't like his hair or what he's wearing - i want to make it clear i still love him

[Donnangelo7]

he looks like tom cruise, hahaha naw good job though. haha

[Minisha]

He looks better than Tom Cruise. He's taller too, which is a plus. XD

[Havenscope]

Extremely power voice and wonderful performance, but I prefer the film version.

[juanbrujox]

Wall-E!!!! Lovers scene!

[PositivelyEmerald]

hahaha yeah!!

[DRtorchwoodWHO]

He has the most gorgeous voice in the whole universe.... i love him...

x

[stitchcastle]

wow, Captain Jack's got some pipes.

[SetoJoeyy]

This was the most beautiful song I have ever heard sung by anyone. I adore John Barrowman more than ever before. He is truly amazing. I'm so stunned I can't even use exclamation points.

[ricmaciel]

Yeah. This guy is ok. I saw a couple of his videos and he is nice. But, my opinion, this song is totally Michael Crawford and everyone should see it! lol

I hope Michael Crawford gets back soon!

[TheAntiPleb]

Wonderful voice. And not just because he's good-looking...

[tonygrrl]

Well done, another fine performance :D

[lillybruce]

My God, you are beautiful - and the song was nice, too. I could just lick you clean!

[chersooty]

i could lick him clean to

[SabreQueen]

you're not the only ones...

[meredith33333]

Very, very nice. Excellent job.

[shuttheeffupcesar]

hot!

[cassygirl1]

I think John did a lovely job and has a gorgeous voice. As far as cheesiness goes?

That's just the layman's term for theatrical performing. A broader more emotive form, it's always more moving because it's so genuine.

I have always had the most respect for performers who aren't afraid to feel anything in front of others.

[nyssa7]

I think JOHN(Cheesiest man around) Don't get me wrong I love him to bits and think it has a wonderful voice!!!!But, everyone who ever has works with him thinks he's a cheesehead-including Noel Clarke and was ranked#2 in the UK as the cheesiest perfomer. Anyway, I think he had some lyrics 'cause I have the dvd of 'Dolly' and watched over and over and have the soundtrack and no their's a least a couple of lines that Johnny sings that weren't in their;otherwise a Wonderful job by JOHN!!!

[Minisha]

But that's why we love him. ^_^

[rnrburge]

man....i was in the musical hello dolly not that long ago and i played the character that sings this song...the girl...any ways this is making me remeber it...and now i'm crying

[mebee4]

I'm in tears - I've heard this song so many times before, but that was just unbelievably, astoundingly beautiful! John Barrowman - I swear you have the voice of an angel!

[TORCHWOODJ]

I love this song and John... in the end of this song it made me cry just a little bit :)

[bear6331]

Wonderful performance he did. :)

His voice and this song are

perfectly matched !

Someday I wish to sing this song

to someone I really love.

[silivrenniel08]

he kinda looks like a mixture between tom cruise and leonardo decaprio kinda ruins it for me but he had a great voice and i love this song :)

[rebelkimy]

MEGALA-WHOOO?!?!?!?!?!?!

[red21rican]

this is so funny...wall-e is responsible for alot of people loving this song...including me too!!!

[Falzar22]

you r right!

[SpaceEmperorDarrell]

wow...i never knew he had that voice! awesome!

[elpresidio]

The original Hello Dolly version seen in Walle-E and also "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" also seen in Wall-E are both on YouTube. Do a search on the titles and you will find them.

[raullife2]

yeah me too

[elpresidio]

I had to listen to this after hearing this in Wall*E

[ronwilliams753]

Who cares about the hair? It's a lovely song and I think it is beautifully sung

[NotaFro]

love john, but what's with the hair?

[jackdoc5]

great performance by the lovely jb. does anyone know what performance this was, and if i can find it on itunes? thanks for the help!

[bimba2021]

jackdoc5-This performance is from a Jerry Herman tribute concert with The Boston Pops Orchestra was broadcast on the PBS public TV network under the title "An Evening with the Boston Pops" on 22 August 2004. It was an all Jerry Herman song night; the song list also included John Barrowman singing "I Am What I Am" which is also posted on youtube. I have not found this performance on dvd for sale anywhere yet. Maybe an e-mail to PBS or to WGBH in Boston, MA might yield some answers.

[jackdoc5]

bimba2021- thank you so much!! :)

[bimba2021]

There's another YouTube vid of Barrowman singing I Won't Send Roses from Jerry Herman's Mack and Mabel which is even better. He sang it in his UK concert tour this past spring as well as at the Boston Pops concert in August, 2004.

[nyman52]

and you are totaly stupid

[secularfreethinkers]

Oh. My. God. You did not just insult the most gorgeous man on the planet did you? He is so amazing...this probably isn't the best performance he's ever given but still...that's no excuse to insult his singing, have seen him sing anything else? And if you have and you didn't like it then why even bother clicking on this link?

[1torchwoodfan1]

AUTHORWORLD...IF YOU HATE JOHN BARROWMAN THEN WHY WATCH VIDEOS WITH HIM IN IT??ITS JUST STUPID!!NO SORRY...YOUR STUPID!!leave john barrowman alone.ok.go bother someone else!

hes amazing!

[EriksChristine]

oh my god...he looks like John Stamos from Full House!!!

[MileyCyrus4111996]

Your right!!!!!!

[LiveThruDance93]

Its good, but its no Micheal Crawford!

[alexdaws]

NO ITS JOHN BARROWMAN!

LOL

:)

[56premiere]

We need John over here in the States also. Please share him with us more. He's one heck of a talented guy! Actor, singer, TV personality, expert fundraiser, "comedian" and activist. He's probably the first true "everyman" of the 21st Century.

[jdlazar]

I agree completely.  He is truly amazing!

[BRITatHEART11]

Did anyone else drool on the keyboard?

[juliajacko3000]

*wipes up puddles of drool*

...well, it's JB singing beautifully! what d'ya expect! :)

[lourdesmont]

Drool? Drool? I couldn't manage any drool cause I just melted!

[BRITatHEART11]

lol, i dont blame you!

[BigBirdy100]

It only takes a moment to fall in love with John B. Swoooon.

[InuStar]

One of the best performances I've seen from him! Fantastic!

[juliajacko3000]

I agree 100%. Absolutely fantastic performance!

I'm hooked :D

[animelover13579]

Oh my god. I absolutely adore John Barrowman. What an amazing singer!

[juliajacko3000]

and with this performance John Barrowman reached perfection.

He truely is an amzingly talented person, is there nothing he can do?!

[tigerstriped]

Man, John Barrowman could have "married me a little" but I doubt that would've ever happened....he's already got a fella

*will continue to squee in any case*
