And surprise (not)! He looks just like a very cute little baby boy. Since Ben was openly carrying him around in NY, I presume he's okay with the idea that people will see pics of him.

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
Well, he probably knows he can't stop it from happening all the time, but he would probably prefer it if it didn't happen. I don't think the blogs I follow would post them, so I haven't seen any photos of Christopher, but I don't look for them, either.
Clueing for looks.

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
Yesterday, Benedict attended a Pink Floyd concert at The Royal Albert Hall and even joined the band in singing:

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
Here are two links to his Royal Albert Hall appearance, I know it's not pictures, but I have no idea where else to put it. One is a video, one is just audio. And since I'm at work right now, I can't listen to it, so I have no idea about the quality...

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
My boyfriend is a huge, huge Pink Floyd fan, and that song is his favourite song - and I love that song, too, it gives me goosebumps. Can't wait to listen to this.

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
It looks like he enjoyed himself!!
And I can't wait for my chance to watch the video later! I'm sure it's fab! (And I'll need to show this to my best friend too, she was raised on Pink Floyd!)

OMG My hubby worships Pink Floyd! I can't wait to show him this.
Can't get to tumblr from work. What song did Ben sing?

It was "Comfortably Numb".

Here is the YouTube-video of it.

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
OMG, that is just the best thing ever!
I used to like PF, back in the day...but once I got into punk, alternative, Indie...I tended not to bother with the old rockers so much.
The Floyd were always the best of the bunch, with their songs being a bit more cutting edge.
I am not familiar with that number at all, but wow, I really like it.
That looked an amazing show and Benedict was just fantastic.

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
Much better quality video than I was able to find last night. He sounds better with better sound quality, though I am not sure this was the best song for him. He was expressive, though!
Clueing for looks.

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
Yeah, he doesn't have the best singing voice out there, and so he acted the lines more than singing them.
Not that I mind, though, I thought it was amazing that he performed like that!

In all honesty the original vocalist on this song, Roger Waters, was not that great a singer. I think Ben certainly captured Roger's style on Comfortably Numb.

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
I'm not a Pink Floyd fan, but I figured that that may have been part of the original style, though I wasn't sure how much. Talk-singing can be good, and Benedict's voice did sound good when he sang in August: Osage County.
