John Barrowman + youtube = West-End CRACK.

I had a novel to read for class tomorrow. I started it this morning and it really didn't interest me, but I toughed it out, skimmed though to get a basic idea of what was going on and finished the darn thing in record time.

Then, as a reward to myself, I went back to play on youtube. (Oh, youtube!)

Youtube is my new best friend; youtube gave me John Barrowman singing a few bars of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and sequeing right into the "Time Warp". Youtube gave me Barrowman's cameo in The Producers - singing "Sprintime for Hitler". Youtube gave me Barrowman singing "Maria" from West Side Story (and fanboying Stephen Sondheim... and using the phrase "danger zone"). Barrowman... figure skating?? *snerfle*

...Barrowman with David Tennant, fanboying Doctor Who. Speaking of, more Tenant in drag.

Is it wrong that I'm getting I'm getting SUCH A KICK out of Captain Jack Barrowman singing showtunes and jazz standards? A little bit of the fun is watching the painfully awkward choreography-for-tv. Most of the fun is watching a very, um, charismatic man ooze charm and do a passing fair job with these great songs. (Plus, he's really good-looking, even if he seems to be a whore for strange variety shows...) The rest of the fun is coming from wondering if anyone's captured the audio on some of these and vidded them to Doctor Who or Torchwood. 'Cause "Feeling Good"? SUCH a Captain Jack song.

This one's for [livejournal.com profile] thucyken: Barrowman and Bill "Manny from Black Books" Bailey on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Most perfectly, someone's collected a bunch of Tennant and Barrowman tv appearances and vidded them. Crack, I tell you.

I'm going to stop now because this lj, already little more than a tribute to sf, music and pretty men, may entirely devolve into a gooey puddle of pure insanity.

EDIT: Sonata Arctica's video for "Paid In Full" is so very excellent. The song is quite good, the video isn't anything fancy (nor should it be) and they feature the entire keytar solo in the video. Rock on, Finnish metal, rock ON!
