John Barrowman Long Live Captain Jack
John Barrowman is one of my favourite entertainers. I use the word, entertainer in the widest sense because entertainer doesn’t come close to describe this man’s talent. In all my life I have never seen an entertainer that does such an excellent all around performance on singing, dancing and acting. Nowadays we churn out performers who can only do one job, performers are not trained in the same way that they used to be. John Barrowman is one of those unique entertainers that can do equally well all around. He has talent literally oozing out of him and everything that he does he gives 110% every time. John Barrowman is a man of many talents and he touches people’s hearts everywhere.
My tutor at drama college really annoys me at times. Whenever I talk about John Barrowman my tutor instantly dismisses him and says that he doesn’t like him. I don’t understand this attitude towards a man who has obviously made a great success of his life and the reason is clear because he has extreme talent. John Barrowman is one of those people who were very obviously born to entertain. Could it be that my tutor is actually jealous of John Barrowman’s success? Either way what is important is that I love John Barrowman and it is thanks to my mother that my love for John Barrowman came about.
My mother is a wonderful person, she has always been there for me and is my best friend. When my mother started watching John Barrowman she fell in love with his talent and the ability he has of reaching out and touching the audience’s heart. It was then that my mother introduced me to John Barrowman as well. The reason for introducing me to John Barrowman was for several purposes. The first and probably most important reason was my father. My father is the kind of man who is interested in business, but when it comes to watching live shows or following celebrities he doesn’t quite get it.
Now should Alan Sugar tour the Country my father would be there in an instant. If it was Madonna touring the Country my father couldn’t care less. This is what happened with John Barrowman, my father was just not interested. My mother wanted someone to go to the live shows with her because although she loves John Barrowman it’s not the same going on your own. So when my mother asked if I wanted to go to see John Barrowman I snapped the opportunity up straight away. Having a child I didn’t get out much anyway so this was the perfect opportunity of having some quality time with my mother and some time for me. Soon we started touring the Country every time John Barrowman appeared in something new.
So far we have been to Birmingham, Wales, Bridgewater Hall and Cheltenham to see John Barrowman. Soon we will be going on another tour to see John Barrowman and each time I see him I grow a little more fonder of him. He knows how to capture the heart of the audience and has real stage prescence. This world is a better place because of great performer’s like John Barrowman.
As for me, I’m an actress just an actress, I don’t have any of the skills that John Barrowman has. Singing and dancing are not my strengths, my first love is acting and always has been, but there is always room for improvement. I’d like to do all three, but it’s not easy that’s why people like John Barrowman are so special because they can do all three. You need to train from a young age if you want to be good in all 3 areas. Before I end this post I would like to say thanks, thanks to my mother for introducing me to an entertainer with such high class as John Barrowman and thanks to John Barrowman for all the hard work he puts in. John Barrowman has never dissapointed me, not once and when I met him at the book signing I was amazed by his charm and the twinkle in his eye. John Barrowman is a true inspiration and I enjoy touring the Country following his success in 2009.
