John Barrowman - Closing the Royal Variety Performance

[adorablelittlecat]

I SPY THE CAST OF WICKED! :D

[melanze110]

dankeschön! ^^ i like it how he pronounce the german word :D

[TBevz]

Was anyone else distracted by thinking about how boiling it must be for those girls in the fur after the stage lights had been on for however long?

[AnnieVesper]

JB's absolutely gorgeous!

[LadyLisaaa]

He's great! :D :D

I am German - LOL, I know how to pronounce "Dankeschön" of course :D - and I think John did a good job. :) He's scottish and as far as I know from british friends etc. it's really hard for them to deal with my language, especially when it comes to words with "ö" or "ü" 'cause this doesn't exist in English.

I think it's normal that he didn't sing it like a German would, but it's really okay and he did a great show. :)

[Julianakun]

Before when I watched this, I was simply happy that John was singing. Then I became a Tokio Hotel fan and realized he was pronouncing Dankeschön wrong! LOL

[2HonestIam]

To think that this honour used to belong to talented people not a lucky ,arrogant,smug,conceited,hissy fitting,out of tune,control freak that wouldn't stand out at some karaokes if heard!What are people hearing?he goes out of his range and out of tune practically every song I've heard him murder!He only on TV because there is so many gays controlling the BBC.Imagine him coming on directly after Tom Jones or Joe Longthorne when they were younger?He'd sound like a comedy act!

[Dirkdebruyne]

@2HonestIam jeez, yea, it's the gay maffia sweetheart, taking its revenge after 5000 years of discrimination...or is it just that you are homophobic ?

[2HonestIam]

@Dirkdebruyne Not at all,but its amount to racism and sexism,favouring people on their sexuality instead of ability.I don't slag Alan Carr,Graham Norton or Stephen K. Amos of or Andy Bell,Liberace,Johnny Mathis,Jake Spears,Danny Kaye......because they are all talented,my friend has acted opposite Barrowman on Torchwood and as well as singing flat,he is a hissy fitting,tantrum throwing control freak of a cunt!

[AnnieVesper]

@2HonestIam dearie, why did you hate John? Your words are wrong and so subjective. Professional singers say that JB's voice and technical are good and sound delicious, but you... I adore Sinatra, I like Mathis, etc. I love musicals. And I love John too. Maybe you don't like his timbre. But he's really excellent vocalist. Anyway.

Your opinion is YOUR opinion. It's just YOUR thought.

[2HonestIam]

@AnnieVesper When you say pro singers think JB is good,do you mean musical singers?They are the worst sounding pro singers out there,they have a vibrato like the cowardly lion from OZ,with a few exceptions of course,listen to Michael Ball,he sounds terrible too compared with crooners,power singers,rock singers,opera singers,same goes for most from performing arts colleges,they want to be singers instead of being singers already!

[KatMEW15]

I am soo Jealous of that lead dancer! Bitch!! I agree he has a BEAUTIFUL singing voice & he is soo GORGEOUS!!

[ziggydamaestro]

I think he's changed the O with umlaut to stay in keeping with the style of the song...

For example, who remembers "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" - with the last word pronounced "Shayne" to rhyme with "explain"?

People should research such issues, before making ill-informed opinions...

[Jinx903]

I'm sorry I can't see why everyone's being so fussy about the accent, I'm sure a German singer would struggle to sing in a perfect English accent, give the man a break! he's got an amazing voice!

[zeje333]

I really love John bu he REALLY CAN'T speak german

[SaztasticFantastic]

At 1:57 ish you get a glimpse of Zoe Salmon off Blue Peter :D i'd just like to say how great it was that she pulled this off :D yay i was proud for her great job!!!

And then theres john . . . Just . . .wow :D such an amazing talent, im sure he has enough talents to fill the bill single handedly !

Singing, dancing, acting, skating . . etc etc

The John Barrowman Variety Performance . . . theres somthing worth watching :D

[2HonestIam]

@SaztasticFantastic Listen sweetie,your 18 so probably haven't heard many great singers on TV as they are kept off by Cowell and co. not to show up his puppets,so may I suggest you type in Matt Munro,60's Tom Jones footage,TonyChristie,Sinatra,D­ean Martin,Vic Damone,Al Martino,then after listening to them you and mum sit down and listen to this out of tune,no control rubbish!He's a very bad singer for a professional dear,there's no argument as he's out of tune in most songs.

[cinefreak76]

@CrazyRhianne: the introduction "John Barrowman and the Royal Variety Company" said by Jonathan "Wossy" Ross is just too good to be true. Way too many "r"'s *lol*

[CrazyRhianne]

lol i love the way johnathan ross says his name !! lol BARROW-man

[summerday1983]

he doesn't get the ö in schön *lol*

cute though

[cinefreak76]

@summerday1983: it's not a real 'ö', that's right, but for an english guy he manages quite well - it's at least nearer to 'ö' than 'o' ;)

[Lifewraith08]

scottish guy actually

[cinefreak76]

argh, of course! that's what happens if you're not from the UK - you tend to use 'english' in the same way as 'british' *whistles and sneaks away*

[neos1234125]

I know the feeling my friend catches me up on it all the time.

[missposerbro]

what song is this ???

[elphiegreen]

i love twist and shout! its like ferris bueller!

[DSAKDJA]

[bad2wolf2mcgee]
