John Barrowman: For Your Consideration

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (24)

There’s nothing out there tonight, folks. But I can’t leave you hanging. The Freebies list arrives this week, and I thought I might squeeze in another For Your Consideration. This one is for the ladies. And a lot of men, too.

This is three years old, but it’s the first I’ve seen of it. And this much cool has no expiration date. Enjoy.

And this is just from last year, but somehow, I missed it, too.

And this is just bizarre.

And don’t forget: “Memphis Beat,” tonight at 10pm on TNT.

I haven't watched much of Torchwood, but what I've seen, I've liked, and I'll likely pick up the DVDs when circumstances allow. From the series I get that Captain Jack is, shall we say, open to possibilities?

Barrowman however, is gay as a garden party.

And more power to him.

I say gay is still a contender regardless.

I feel liberal, ultra modern and super rainbow connection when I imagine doing it with extremely hot gay guys. If I weren't already me, I'd envy my cool, inclusive mindset.

God he's pretty..Doctor Who hasn't been the same without him.

replica I'm proud of you for wanting to sleep with all men, regardless of their sexuality...it's like looking in a mirror!

I only adored him more when I saw some television interview of his Scottish accent. And I'm sure he goes both ways - at least that's what I tell myself when I'm in the bunk.

I am obsessed with Captain Jack. Frankly, I don't think him being gay is the biggest hurdle to me sleeping with him. The best I can hope for is that he ends up in a tv show sleeping with a woman who looks like me.

AHH. I've actually just been marathoning season 2 of Torchwood so imagine my delight at coming here and getting to see even more of that pretty pretty face.

And as far as awesome/weird John Barrowman youtube videos....this one's not exactly new either but hey it has shiny pants and dancing!

He seems so much more relaxed as a Scotsman.
Works for me.

Godtopus be praised. No wonder the man has done so much work in musicals on the West End. Even screwing around on a game show, he still has great control and technique of his voice. That was just his falsetto, too. I really need to look up something with him actually singing full voice. Can we find him a movie musical to star in real quick? Please? I'll accept a guest spot on Glee as a holdover, but I bet he'd kill in a nice meaty romantic drama. The singing, the dancing, the fucking anything that breathes. He's got it all. Or can at least pull it off on a cheesy sci-fi show, which is really only a couple steps removed from a musical melodrama.

Oh...Oh, my. Well. He is rather pretty, isn't he? Rather. Mmmm.

Too bad I've got my list all ready to go. Let the diversion begin because I am ready.

Still pretty though.

Add a photo of John Barrowman in a military trench coat and this page may literally explode with hot-but-unavailable-ness.

Oh John Barrowman. In an alternate universe you are straight, and we are in love. No, scratch that. In an alternate universe you are bi and you, me, and Gareth David-Lloyd are in love.

He's just so ridiculously charming I can't even stand it.

DAMN YOU MOFFAT, BRING HIM BACK TO DR WHO. :(

love the code-switching video - I'm a code-switcher myself, it's weird how there's a bit of a stigma against it.

@robert,

yes, do find something to listen to with JB singing full-out. I think you'll love it. My current fave track of his is 'I Won't Send Roses', from his latest album. The control, the perfect enunciation. I feel lucky to have seen him on stage a few times, most recently in La Cage aux Folles.
It doesn't hurt that he's pretty and charming and funny, too!

Years ago, I was in London, and I had tickets to see Betty Buckley in Sunset Boulevard. Some horrific English flu variant had beset myself, my mother, and my sister, but we dragged out aching, shivering carcasses to see this, only to find out Betty Buckley had the same flu we did. It was all worth it however, when we saw this young, massively hot guy Joe Gillis. That was, as you've guessed, John Barrowman. He's been on my Rohypnol list for looooooong time. (That sounded just a little bit rape-y, but ah well.)

I adore him with the Scottish accent. If I was in a room with David Tennant and John Barrowman and they were both talking in their natural accents I think I would probably just melt into a puddle of lust.

Posted by: the artist formerly known as squeeziee at June 23, 2010 8:12 AM

Gaaaaaaah! The panty melting accent. That makes him so much hotter.

Posted by: BWeaves at June 23, 2010 8:24 AM

Rowr! Godowhatever, that is the perfect start to what I can't help but suspect is going to be an awful day. I think I'll just leave this up for those moments I want to shive someone.

Posted by: Lee at June 23, 2010 8:53 AM

Ahhh, thank you. I needed to get my Barrowman fix for the week, and this totally did it. That whole The Weakest Link episode is on youtube (or at least it was) and it's excellent.

Also, with respect, it's totally
ooooWEEEEooooooooo

Posted by: esme at June 23, 2010 11:53 AM

Do you think the Scotch women melt for American accents?

Posted by: Mr. Tusks at June 23, 2010 1:06 PM

Shit. Why did you do this. I was just becoming comfortable with Matt Smith and you run a montage of Barrowmand and Tennant. Back to square one for me.

Robert: Check out Barrowman's rendition of "Night and Day" in DeLovely. You will melt.

The first time I met Captain Jack, I was like: "Who does this smoothie think he is? Rose, why are you letting him sweep you off your feet? I don't trust him!"

Of course, by the end of that two-parter I loved him and was very happy that the Doctor saved him.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at June 23, 2010 2:46 PM

Ok. I looked up some clips. Even his vibrato is lovely. I'll have to pick up that new album of his to zen myself out at an awful teaching job starting in two weeks. No little snot nosed brat could take my mood down after listening to a voice that pure. Too bad no one is writing for a pure tenor lead anymore. It's rock tenor or legit baritone in modern musical theater for any show that has a chance of lasting.

Posted by: Robert at June 23, 2010 3:47 PM

Mmm, yes... I'll have some of that. And he plays for my team!

Sorry ladies, you have entirely too many other options to choose from... the Barrowman is all ours. GRRRRROOWWWWWLLL!

Seriously, though, any fan of Barrowman who hasn't seen Shark Attack 3: Megalodon needs to get on that, pronto. His character is basically Tom Cruise with a big ol' wink, the movie is deliciously terrible, and John himself utters the single greatest line of dialogue ever, by anyone, anywhere. I daren't spoil it for you.

Posted by: Quiet Wyatt at June 23, 2010 4:49 PM

Okay Quiet Wyatt, you win. I hate shark movies, but I'll watch it!

But I really want to see him in musicals...

Man, I love hot men who can sing.
