Got to be one of the best lookalikes on the show. And i was shocked at how well he sang. Obviously living up to Pavarotti is always going to be impossible
Absolute straight-up legend, bringing loud beardy joy to successive generations. Brian Blessed and Tom Baker should do a live mad-off against each other, to see who really is King Mad.
National treasure- he could easily have trained as an opera singer- great voice and looks the spit of him - he could and should have been cast as him in a film of Pavarottis life 👍🏻🍻👏🏻👏🏻
Hello Keegan, my partner and I were extremely fortunate to see him the other day, he was absolutely brilliant. But at the end of his interview he fell over, how is he doing now please?
Fought the evil empire in Star Wars? I believe you'll find that was the Trade Federation...honestly Cat Deeley, next you'll be confusing the second sun of Tatooine with the Forest moon of Endor.
He’s absolutely brilliant!! Who is that misery in the audience? It’s a pity she’s there at all. Brian’s singing probably made the roof jump on its rafters! He has so much energy, we should attach him to the National grid!
I met him last week at the Royal Geographical Society , London and I talked with him after the lecture- what a great man! Genuine and very very funny. He left school at 14 and got everything through sheer effort and hard work. He is 72 and he went up to 90,000 feet in a mig 29 this year in preparation for his flight into space with the Russians in 2009.
~This good to watch as we know how entertaining and charming Brian is, he is also one of our Greatest Actors and this is so interesting to see his love of animals, what a fabulous voice you have too.
What a guy. Went to see him doing his one man show in Scunthorpe last night and he was brilliant and inspiring...at the age of 81. He told the story of doing this and also the same sound effect story from Flash Gordon.
A larger than life gentleman! I adore this man. The world seems to have lost it`s gentle eccentrics, as being `different` seems to be frowned upon nowadays. Brian is a man who has had a go at most things... and succeeded! The world has been blessed, to have had Brian Blessed.
I just shut my eyes while listening to that, and for a brief moment I actually couldn't tell, that this wasn't the great man himself. Pavarotti was a genius, and I would genuinely have loved to see him duet with Brian. It would have been like watching him in stereo!
Thanks for uploading this. Brian Blessed rocks. Me and my sister were just trying to guess who he'd be and our first thoughts were Pavarotti. R.I.P Pavarotti.
I remember reading about this in his Book Absolute Pandemonium. He could have gone into Opera but he loved acting more. I love this dude. Gordon's Alive
I remember watching this at the time and was knocked out! The great visual likeness, but to even come that close to his voice (for a non opera singer) was amazing
If I could only meet one famous person, I would choose Brian Blessed. He's awesome.
my uncle brian is very talented and much loved by family and friends! thank you for your support
A man full of life
He's just done a podcast with Richard Herring, go listen it's hilarious.
Same, I'd love to be Blessed with his presence.

I wish I had a quarter of his energy. What a living legend. Long may you continue Brian.
Honestly, this man may be one of the greatest treasures that this nation has EVER produced. He's such an amazing human being!
Got to be one of the best lookalikes on the show. And i was shocked at how well he sang. Obviously living up to Pavarotti is always going to be impossible
I expected he could sing... but never expected that! Truly incredible talent :)
trained opera singer but went into acting instead.
Brian Blessed is 36 years my senior and I hope he outlives me because the world will be lesser without him.
Saw him live last night, aged 82 and did a short burst of this song and damn.... he’s still got it
If they ever decide to make a film about Pavarotti they need to call Brian Blessed. The resemblance is uncanny!
I literally thought that’s who I saw in the thumbnail at first.
Tonight - Pavarotti is going to be Brian blessed.
If you listen on a quiet night you can still here Brian's voice
I always thought the resemblance was uncanny... right down to their larger-than-life presence.
Which pixel was brian?
+Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart The loudest.
Nice, I like that one.
You'll have to speak up. Ludwig Beethoven can't hear you.
You're one to talk, they didn't even have pixels when you were tickling your ivories.
Mushroom Head how you gonna do my boy Ludwig like that 😂
He actually sings quite well! He's amazing, and so full of life!
Brian Blessed just loves being Brian Blessed :)
What a voice!!!!
The guy is a living legend and a national treasure. I hope I have half his energy when I'm his age!
Is there ANYTHING Brian Blessed can't do without excelling himself? He is AMAZING!
on my bucket list....to goose brian blessed...:)
what a dude... gives 100% every time ... great voice too...:)
Filmed with me Mam's toaster in 1957.
LOL
What kind of toast was she making?
12 years ago sounds about right, now we have 8k 60fps just for shits and giggles
I think I've discovered Brian Blessed's secret! His boundless Energy is a by-product of him being a god spending extended stretches in human form!
Amazing. I had no idea he could sing so well. Bravo, Blessed!
He's not got a bad voice, very well done. He did the great Pavarotti proud.
What an amazingly kind and gentle man. And such energy, a pleasure to watch. Why can't everybody in the world be like this?
Absolute straight-up legend, bringing loud beardy joy to successive generations. Brian Blessed and Tom Baker should do a live mad-off against each other, to see who really is King Mad.

He did train as an opera singer - he just chose acting instead.
Have always loved this man - kind and loud and funny. He always brings a smile to the face XD
Brian Blessed is just a gift to humanity, we can all aspire to be a little more like him. Class act.
my uncle brian has an amazing voice! always makes me cry when he sings! my hero!
He's pretty darned good!
Hello Keegan, my partner and I were extremely fortunate to see him the other day, he was absolutely brilliant. But at the end of his interview he fell over, how is he doing now please?
I love how he clearly loves what he does. And yet is so sweet about everything. Whilst being so hilarious at the same time.
Great job, with a resonant voice like his I’m surprised he hasn’t sung more
I've loved him since he was Fancy Smith in Z-Cars and I still do. This is a marvellous clip of one of Britain's most talented actors. Thankyou
i love brian....
is anyone else THAT awesome?!?!!!
Amazing, this guy has really lived life to the full
That microphone wasn't really necessary now, was it?
Best comment
😂 Best comment 🤣👍
This was actually brilliant. Brian Blessed you legend, what a man :D
What a star!
Pavarotti should do Brian Blessed lol
Brian would find a way to bring him back.
god this made me lol !!!
Cept he's dead,
I shudder to think what could have been, if he'd been given lessons since childhood.
Brian Blessed is a legend.
Fought the evil empire in Star Wars? I believe you'll find that was the Trade Federation...honestly Cat Deeley, next you'll be confusing the second sun of Tatooine with the Forest moon of Endor.

Recommend and wtf Harry after 11 years
RUclips leads me to a 11year old shit post from Harry fucking Partridge.
We truly are living in the best timeline
She was just reading off the script.
Brian Blessed, larger than life, lover of life. What a man.
He’s absolutely brilliant!! Who is that misery in the audience? It’s a pity she’s there at all.
Brian’s singing probably made the roof jump on its rafters! He has so much energy, we should attach him to the National grid!
My god, he could be Pavarotti's long lost twin! He looks exactly like him, and he can sing!
If you look up 'larger than life' in a dictionary, there's just a picture of Brian ! What a man !
Wow what a voice singing the opera
Brian Blessed is still awesome and shall always be awesome!! At least in my eyes;)
Oh my god! He is terrific! What a magnificent voice!
ALL BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHTY BLESSED, KING OF ALL WE KNOW!
That was brilliant, and he loves animals. I love him even more now. Good on you Brian!
There truly is no end to his talents.
I love the way he embraces his breakthrough role as Prince Vultan of the Hawkmen.
The SOB could actually sing.
That was not his breakthrough role
I met him last week at the Royal Geographical Society , London and I talked with him after the lecture- what a great man! Genuine and very very funny.

Brian Blessed indeed. He's truly blessed actor. =)
Brian Blessed was 67 here. Pavarotti's was 69 during his last live performance. Pretty damn impressive.
i watched this as a kid, and i loved it :)

The man the beard the voice. The legend!!!!
The captions on O Sole Mio are friggin' hilarious. Brian, Brava!!!
"He's still laughing!" XD Love that man!

I adore Brian Blessed so much, what a treasure he is!
Brilliant, simply brilliant. Well done Brian!

One word IMPRESSIVE!!!!
I watched this episode when it went out and can confirm he did indeed win :D
This actor is great. Love how he played the King in The Black Adder. :D
Goosebumps every time I come across this.
What a guy. Went to see him doing his one man show in Scunthorpe last night and he was brilliant and inspiring...at the age of 81. He told the story of doing this and also the same sound effect story from Flash Gordon.
Just saw him in Newcastle - what a guy :)
Knighted!! That's not good enough, give him the crown, Long Live King Brian Blessed.
i love brian blessed! the guy is a legend in the purest form of the word!
Just when I thought Brian Blessed couldn't get anymore based

Based on basado

"PAVAROTTI'S ALIVE?!"
He's a nice chap if he really has got all those rescue animals.
Mairwen 99 he does. He loves animals
Awesome job by Brian Blessed, singing opera is very difficult to do.
He looks like he really enjoyed it up there
Thanks for uploading this. Brian Blessed rocks. Me and my sister were just trying to guess who he'd be and our first thoughts were Pavarotti. R.I.P Pavarotti.
I remember reading about this in his Book Absolute Pandemonium. He could have gone into Opera but he loved acting more.
I love this dude. Gordon's Alive

Brian Blessed living Yorkshire Legend
I don't even care about the sparse pixelation and staggering framerate; Brian breathes so much life into the camera.
That man is just unstoppable 😂😂😂😂
A true entertainer! Brian is a ledgend, and just a wonderful man in all ways!
I remember watching this at the time and was knocked out! The great visual likeness, but to even come that close to his voice (for a non opera singer) was amazing
What a lovely funny delightfully eccentric man. Love it when he swears! 🤬 🤣
Finally putting his volume to good use!
Your brilliant Brian,National Treasure personified
Dude looks exactly like Pavarotti, that's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen
you can still tell its him - singing wise - fabulous tho - gotta love the bloke - just excentricity at its best
What a fantastic man
