Billy Elliot - Royal Variety Performance

[HotShotRuksy]

Liam cooke or leon cooke was the best one in talent thing

[lolaRazzYeah]

I had to re-count the fouettes I was that amazed lol :P Well done to all 3 boys x

[BillyEinspired]

you just can't help but love the part when liam, the smallest of the three, gets loaded up with all the coats and bags :D

[jimverweyhchd]

It is a tremendous performance. James steadies Liam after Liam completes his performance. All 3 worked closely together.

[lucyybieberr]

liam mower gives me chills when he dances <3

[flurry345]

most amazing thing I've ever seen

[xxhunnyxxbeexx]

Nearly 30 open-legged fouettes! unbelievable. This was such an incredible show.

[xxhunnyxxbeexx]

@xxhunnyxxbeexx i stand corrected- 35 fouettes!

[kev9089798767]

They must have thought they were dreaming while doing a duet with Elton John.

[1965nighthunter]

great thats all i can say good show

[1234blahluv]

i love how elton's just rocking out behind the piano.

[KTCocopop]

liam mower is so tiny in this!!! and those pirouettes.... WOW!

[CatherineJB7]

aww, Liam was only 12 when this was filmed. So cute!!

[cupcake1360]

I cant actually believe his fouettes at the end! he goes on for so long!

[TheLiLJRead]

I absolutely love this number and this edition is beautiful. Please can you check out my edition of the song that I performed on the Disney land Paris stage. Type in"Joseph read electricity" thank you very much and I hope you enjoy it :)

[ErikaLovesGiuseppe]

OhMiGoshhh! Liam's pirouettes are beaustiful!♥♥

[BillyElliotFan01]

liam <3 <3



[kiaramiren]

OPEN LEG FOUETTES OH MY GOD HIS FORM IS AMAZING.

[hexagon999]

I can't help but imagine someone who's never seen Liam dancing before watching this and thinking all the way through "aww look at that poor kid at the back...I guess he's the one who can't dance..." and then suddenly he comes forward and PHWOAR hahaha xD

[takethatjourney]

awww Liam looks so tiny!!!

[jammie196dodger]

liams voice is not as good here?

[Solyle37]

@jammie196dodger I heard he had only returned to rehersals two days before havin been ill an lost his voice

[katiexpwnsxyou]

I absolutely love Liam, but I think that James and George need more credit. Liam is an extremely talented classical ballet dancer, but James and George are fabulous street dancers. I wish I had been able to see them in Billy Elliot.

[drumlord656]

These are some of the most talented boys I have ever seen. James and George tear it up and then Liam comes up and does some of the most amazing turns I have ever seen.

[Solyle37]

If he could do that in 2004 then I wonder how many can he do now...

[Solyle37]

They all, especially Liam, are ridiculously talented

[Solyle37]

I can't believe Liam is so young. At first he was only signed up 4 6 months but the director soon signed him up 4 over 2 years he was so talented.

[MrBluezz5]

Laim, looks and sounds the youngest! Least by a year! Is that right?

[helliop]

@MrBluezz5 yeah, he's two years younger than the other Original Billys.

[MrBluezz5]

They sound awaful toghether, but on their own their great!

[LisaB976]

i made that 38 pirouettes? HA.

[0Abiio]

I would love to be as talented as all of them!

[TheLiamDude]

It's weird coz I think he's a great dancer and I have no idea what a 'fouette' is.

[angelbabydaqueen1]

wow he was great!!!!!!

[krncybershinsi]

just wanted to share different version performed by Korean Billy Elliots :)

/watch?v=tA69kVYgaiA&feature=f­vsr

[surgboy4791]

...and that ladies and gentlemen is what makes him the great Liam Mower

[pexcornel]

The moment when Liam prepares, that violin starts and he delivers the a la secconde turns in perfect harmony with the music, is Billy Elliot history. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the Billy originals. The hardest work was on their shoulders.

[alonelychild]

@pexcornel couldn't agree more, you put it exactly the way I see it

[MrBluezz5]

LIAM MOVER!!! I LOVE YOU

[xOxSpongexOx]

what does liam do now?

[winxknight]

No one else does the pirouettes as well as Liam Mower!

[Treebard]

Amazing! And beautiful... How many times did that kid twirl????? A-Ma-zing.

[MrBluezz5]

The boy in the middle can't stand still while on the bench, i'm scard he was going to step on Liam's finger. They didn't sound that nice toghether cause their not use to it. But once yo hear them sing sinlgly their all great. BUT LIAM IS THE YOUNGEST AND THE BEST!!!!

[aclnyc2008]

Everyday I try to dance just like Liam Mower.

[lucymunnster]

I've seen the musical 4 times and was lucky enough to see Liam twice - he's definitely the best Billy!! His pirouettes are AMAZING!!! So beautiful and just incredible to watch! Don't think they'll find a better Billy than Liam! Truly amazing!

[Paddyscot]

@lucymunnster You are so Lucky to have seen this show even once. I would give almost anything to get a t5icket but they are at a premium. I agree that Liam is an amazing Billy

[Treebard]

@lucymunnster I counted them, about 35... amazing. I am glad you got to see this - wow, I wish I could! :) Did you ever think, "Liam" is same root as William, or Billy? LOL. I worry about the boys doing too much, too young, and hurting themselves, though, so I'm glad the role is split between the three of them.

[ensubia]

Liam is still the best!!

[prestige16]

Elton's voice is truely amazing....

[AilsaB123]

I counted 42 pirouettes. Absolutly beautiful, Billy Elliot is by far my favourite musical and i pray that it comes to newcastle soon. Fantastic song i love you elton john! Liam Mower is the best billy and very fit! :) Great dancers i keep listening to this song over and over again love you boys keep it up! xxxxxx

[Andygarrett357]

Liam is the KING of the piroutte and clearly the #1 Billy; the first of the best.. Amazing job all the "Billy's" have done from Jamie Bell to the current cast as will be in the future. This play has to be in the top 3.

[scorpioninpink]

the pirrouette is not fast enough...

[bananathumbs]

pfffft. I could do that. ;)

Beautiful :)

[ILOVEEROBPATTINSON1]

omgg, the last dancer was amazing:) was much better than any dancing ive ever seen!

[MalteaserDreamer09]

Liam Mower's pirrouettes were absoltely beautuifull :)

[sugarlady76]

정말 최고의 뮤지컬 빌리 엘리엇.. 이제 우리나라에서도 만날 날이 얼마 안남았구나.. 런던 오리지날 멤버인 이 3명의 빌리를 능가하는 빌리를 본적이 없는데 우리나라 빌리들은 어떤 모습을 보여줄지 기대반 걱정반이라는...

[adiclm29]

lol 2:01 Liam couldn't find the other strap!! It's cute cause it happens all the time. He found it with perfect timing.

[FJMLAM]

BRILLIANT-Such an exciting ending- Very talented kids-Lovely music!

[2503eltonjohn1947]

When will Elton finally get a second star on Walk of Fame for his musicals?

[AdamEfimoff]

I loved this show it won the tony award for best musical and I got see the wonderful David who was perfect

[McGarvinStudios]

It might be just me but George looks like Ron Weasley and James looks like one of the Weasley twins (George and Fred Weasley) from Harry Potter

[georgii222]

@McGarvinStudios not just you... i think the same thing!

[jaspertrio1]

@georgii222 Hi could anybody that loves this show please join this facebook group. The billy elliot national youth theatre performed this to celebrate 5 years of the show and our company performed in our region and got chosen to do the regional showcase. It was the best experience ever and we have the opportunity to do just 2 more shows. This will only be considered if 2,500 people join this facebook group - lets get billy elliot the musical to blackpool opera house please join

[liammowerfanxx]

this video is amazing. i love billy elliot the musical so much that i see it every week and i have met every billy elliot in london :) it's amazing <3 xxxxxxxxxx

[Arthur5041975]

Those boys are great dancers, but terrible singers.

[gladrial89]

@Arthur5041975 I think that's because they are singing together and they don't know how to do that. When I have heard each of them sing seperately they are pretty decent.

[AilsaB123]

@gladrial89 Yeah they all have very different voices so its hard for them to have it sound decent when they are singing together :) xxxx

[spook141]

i really want to go and watch the broadway again!!! but its finished in sydney :'(

[JitterBug217]

Ahh I love this! :) Saw Billy Elliot last night and it was AMAZING, Ollie Gardner played Billy and he was wonderful :)

[brittmstar]

I love how everyone's comment is about Liam when he barley did annything in this video...I'm not trashing him so don't freak...I just think it's amusing...James is my favorite though<

[lulutje1001]

Omg, Liam's piouretts at the end... is that even possible? I just can watch it over and over and over? In other video's he's also amazing but this is thé greatest video of him with his great talent for piourettes ever,, in an other video his foot almost sticks to the same place and that's here a bit diffrent but yea, if u can do so much piourettes I would say that he could use the whóle podium if he'd needed to! x3 Amazing & my fav Billy 4 ever

[lulutje1001]

I love all 3 of them, they're all 3 so good and I'd loved the musical x3

[liammowerfanxx]

This video is amazing. I love you, Liam Mower xx

[homelessheart15]

Liam Mower was the best Billy in my opinion.

The fouettes were amazing, especially as he was so young!

I wonder what how brilliant he is at ballet now...4 years later =o

[adiclm29]

I love cute little Liam in the background while the others are dancing. You just know he's going to do something amazing. And boy, did he deliver. My favorite Billy <3

[luvtap65]

Four years ago... and still amazing to see.

[nsquared703]

They are so amazing!!! I especially love george!!! He is so incredibly cute, I wish i could have seen him perform

[mattiehenFTW]

38 fouettes. I love Liam.

[amal2000100]

fantastic

[tawnteens]

I love how they're mimicking the phasing of Elton John. . so lovely!

[misslep91]

great performance

[osnuseu]

are fantastic!!!!

[thearter12]

Why wasnt Liam doing like any dancing?

[mcflyrdabst]

I bit of dancing was the most impressive sheesh! what skill and control he must have to be able to do that for so long,

When I went it was liam mower absolutely phenomenal

[dramastr22]

I like the broadway choreo much better.

[TheBurbster]

@dramastr22 Yeah, I kinda gotta agree. Maybe because it was performed more technically better, or maybe because the choreo itself is better...or maybe because I'm naturally biased towards Broadway. ;-) But don't get me wrong - these boys are amazing too! :3

[SuperTwilighter97]

i saw james lomas in sweet sixteen and god he was hot !!

[bok0306]

You've got to love Elton John for making Billy Elliot a musical! Otherwise we wouldn't have the chance to see Liam Mower pirouetting for longer than I've ever seen :)

[nicki446]

Liam Mower's fouettes at the end are beautiful - he's so talented!

[bok0306]

@nicki446 Yeah, he's definitely the best ever at doing that!

[TheBurbster]

@nicki446 *jaw drops open at said fouettes* He did them from 4:13-4:41 - about 37 or 38 turns in all (I counted) - and sticks the landing at the end! I'm never complaining about how hard just ONE pirouette is at ballet class again!

[Drebecca911]

@nicki446 i love him too. but there only pump turns.

[nicki446]

@Drebecca911 I know they're only à la secondes, but they're great just the same... I highly doubt any 12 year old kid could pull off that many perfect actual fouettés..

[lollixx359]

Billy Eliott is absolutely incredible!!! Amazing dancing!! :)

[jamspice11]

omgosh, theyre so young here

love them

[davidpuppet]

yes, i remember seeing this. it was quite a while before the show opened i think. i saw the three of them on the underground escalator at victoria station, a while after it opened. i'm sure they danced down the escalator come to think of it!

[winxknight]

Liam mower is the Best Billy Elliot..

[lincolnactive]

this must be one of the first times the show was seen as these are the first three billy's in the west end

[123kooler]

OMG, Liam looks so young here

[TheBurbster]

@123kooler He really does, doesn't he? Especially compared to how tall and handsome he's gotten now. But he'll always look adorable, at least to me, because of his baby face! ^.^

[HannahBroadwayJane]

That is absolutley amazing :'))

The singing and the dancing :'))

i LOVE billy elliot :'))

[rcf789]

oh god i cant watch this

[drummenator]

[jamiewaugh13]

[Shingard]

[WickedFreak10111]

Liam Mower has offically changed my life. Period.

[NinaGemx]

[love5364]

omd ow that boi spinnin at d end 36 tyms hes amazinnn

[superdresser]

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

I´m crying every time i see it.

[cannoch]

Living in the scottish highlands..........we don't get a lot of theatre, if anyone wants to entertain us..........I and many I know just love it and if you want to venture north you would get a good, albeit possibly in your estimations a small audience although I am talking about the whole village. Not likely

[pvpfiish]

wow, this is amazing, it would be an honour to perform with Elton John and the Billys, I think by far Liam mower is the best, but there all great, and there singing made my shiver.

Elton John is just...amazing!

[jessinabox]

Absolute talent. These boys have something amazing.

The control on those pirouettes at the end is absolutely phenomenal. brilliant boys. x

[meAsArtist]

the first one is good

[rich43434]

i can spin like that after 20 pints of cider on a sat night on the town! and sing with a somerset accent..but i dont get paid for doing it

[ericroi]

@rich43434

Now THAT's funny!

Eric from New Orleans (or what's left of it.)

[dramaqueen7777777]

woah how many times did he spin :O

I find it hard to do five :L

xx

[Fiordiligi2]

i counted about 36; that's insane.

[kripsinos]

no geordie accent?? why?

[OhShizzleSticks]

i think the first person on the bench (left) sings the best...

and they all danced well. But that last kid....well he just made me dizzy xD amazing!! =] i love billy elliot

[drummenator]

First kid on the left is James Lomas. I agree that he's the best singer here. The last one doing the pirouettes is Liam Mower.

[dancetmb]

Truly amazing. How talented! I wish i could dance like them

[missdancerx]

WOW a abz luv this show amazin liam is an amazin dancer !

[crazybeachbabes]

he does 39 turns at the end haha amazing

[blahblahblahblah22]

Woah, that kid who danced at the end...wow. Jeez, I can do 6 fouttes. 6. NOT 60000000. He must have had a really good spot, or a wire on his foot, or SOMETHING. I'm impressed!!!!!!!!!!

[SaraBeeBubble]

its just exceptional to watch..

[meAsArtist]

great dance on the end!!!!

[Funttie]

`Billy elliot was from the first moment i saw it my favorite movie, i love the story, the sad story, it kept me going on. Man i love Billy elliiot.

But Oh jeez, those kids are.. what do you call really good singers and also dancers ? I think wonderchild ?

[chelseaageorgee]

[age99999]

[123Ponies4eva123]

[FutureWestEndGirl]

I love billy elliot it is just AMAAZING

[bobbie406]

[PoppyAye123]

I saw billy elliot 2 and a half years ago when leon cooke was Billy and it was the mosty amazing thing :)

and i liams finished position on the fouettes is like, perfection :O hes so good !

[berlygirl123]

The Billys are excellent. However, I can't stand Elton John. Obnoxious!!!!!

[BillyEinspired]

I agree- I can see why they would inviove him in the performence, but I would rather just listen to the Billys

[lconnellan]

was there myself on the 27/7

ollie is amazing.. wat a dancer..

this musical has everything u will not be disappointed

[HollyMushh]

brill :D

i am going to see billy elliot in londons west end on a thursday in august, can anyone please tell me which actor i will have? thanks :) x

[totowongkt]

i t changes.. like sometimes they get understudies~

[aljlinton]

Saw Billy Elliot in London 3 years ago and it was FANTASTIC! I don't know who will play Billy but I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Have a fab time.

[Ariale]

No idea who will be peforming on that particular day, but you can visit their website to find out their current pool of Billies. I was there on 21/7 and it was Ollie. Cute little boy. ^^

[Katwillbehere]

They have three that rotate nights, but we don't know who has each night.

[HollyMushh]

LIAM MOWER IS THE SWEETEST THING :)

cuteee beyond imagination :)

[Territorialprincess]

why is one of them not dancing?

[drummenator]

The two boys who do the first part of the dance were trained more in hip hop and street style dancing, while the third was classically trained in ballet. Their routines for this song were very different in the show, so they had to choose one routine over the other.

[Territorialprincess]

o kk thanx

[Szabooo]

at the end the middle boy

[LiMaBue]

who of them is liam?

[CCSBandGeek]

LiMaBue- when they are on the bench he is the farthest to the right he also does the amazing pirouettes at the end.

[LiMaBue]

thank you :)

Yes, he is amazing

[BillyEinspired]

ahhhh liam's so tiny!!

[volleyballisme]

hes*

[volleyballisme]

the center one on the bench is hunter rizzio hea my friend

[musikgal13]

tell him he is amazing!!!!

[sinead612]

38 :o JESUS :o

amazing

[EViEGx]

I love liam mower :O!

[curviegurlie]

wait. i counted 35 pirouettes and 3 spins before he stopped. still 38 turns in all.

[curviegurlie]

38 pirouettes, that spin and he didn't even stumble on the stop. damn.

i just love seeing long pirouettes lol. the broadway billys, i saw the tv appearances when they all do it together and david does it the longest. i love watching them and rhys from the australia BE was good too. i wonder why the stopped it there. but i love Liam Mower. such a a damn good dancer. i wonder what he's up to now....he just turned 17. i wonder if he'll go back to the stage in another musical. leading role. :-)

[drummenator]

He got in to a ballet school after he finished high school. I believe he's said that he'll pursue dancing first, and acting second.

[Ariale]

I know... Just watching Liam in all these clips is make me squee. Having miss catching him peform in BETM, I sure hope he will have a leading role in a long-running musical in future. He deserves it. (They really should release a DVD starring the original Billies...)

[gofamilyguy01]

38 turns and it made me soooooooooooooooooooooooo dizzy

[lotusloveable]

jesus those turns were magnificent.

[libtib]

he did like 40 spins at the end!!

They're all so talented i wish i could do something on stage like that !!!!!

[hermionehollyrose]

Anyone else seen it live? I was hysterically sobbing soo soo good! x

[jennifercwebster]

yup seen it live twice, seeing it again in two weeks. so so so so so so so amazing x
