John Barrowman - Maria (West Side Story)
So I stayed home sick from work today. Nothing too serious, I'm just worn out and catching something. (Not a "friend" from India, though!) :-)
Anyway - I've spent way too much time on YouTube today. Boy, that's addictive! I went in search of some clips of John Barrowman. I've been enjoying his role as Captain Jack Harkness on Doctor Who and Torchwood and just wanted to check to see if there were a few interviews with him. Well. Little did I know. The man is an amazing singer. Apparently he's had the lead in 16 West End musicals in London. (That's the UK's version of Broadway, for those of you unfamiliar with the West End.) I have fallen in love with this man's voice. Wow.
Here's a clip of him talking about and then singing "Maria" from West Side Story.

Wow. That brought tears to my eyes. I think that is hands down one of the best versions of "Maria" I've heard. It's probably no surprise to you that I don't watch Doctor Who :-), but you totally have me intrigued by this John Barrowman.
I'm thinking a London trip to see him in the West End needs to be on our trip itinerary...
Oh, that sounds amazing! Let's go! (I feel a little like when I was nine and had a massive crush on Luke Duke.) :-) Oh yes, gotta love the long distance celebrity crush. :-) Absolutely no chance of rejection. :-)
You also had a crush on Errol Flynn and Slim Whitman!!! hahahaha tell-off time!!!!! Love you! Your auntie.
Okay, I'll admit to Errol Flynn - I mean...hello! Robin Hood anyone? He was dreamy. But Slim??? I absolutely deny it. Absolutely. (Besides, I was like three years old and Grandpa had the 8-track...)
Oh no missy!!! Slim WAS definitely a crush. So handsome with that stringy little mustache and that crooning voice. I might still be able to find the 8-track if you want it!!! hahahahahahaha OTFL
