John Barrowman is the new love of my life. He's been around for quite a few years and I've always liked him, but it's only recently that I've discovered how great his body of work really is. He's done countless musical theatere-related shows and concerts and he has quite a following in the U.K. where he lives with his boyfriend, Scott. I've watched a lot of interviews that he's done and I really appreciate his sense of humor and genuine love for what he does. He seems like a really down to earth guy. He has what I consider to be the most beautiful voice of any male singer living today. There's something so soothing and tranquil about it. He also has the ability to belt like a pro! I recently bought his album, "John Barrowman Swings Cole Porter", which has a lot of my old favorites on it. He managed to make them all sound brand new. You might recognize him from his cameo appearance in "De-Lovely". He was also in the show (and dvd) "Putting it Together" with Carol Burnett. He's currently playing a recurring role on "Desperate Housewives". He also just published his second book, "I Am What I Am" which I'm very anxious to read! Anyway, check him out. He's a very versatile performer and I really like how he can go from traditional to modern in a heartbeat. He has one of those voices that doesn't come along very often and he knows how to use it.
