I'm uttely speechless. It's not only an eargasm, Benedict also looks incredibly hot.

Le sigh... why can't I just delete my post, mm?
Sorry for double posting, guys. I guess the blindingly hot Ben was, well, BLINDINGLY hot

I can't get enough of this! How amazing is his voice??

**Posted by besleybean** September 29, 2016 6:02 pm

I know.
I am honestly blown away by it!

I don't think his singing was that great, to be honest. (Which is why I reckoned they chose a song where he can get away with talk-singing, and why he is acting the lines more than singing them).

However, I don't mind that at all. He does a decent job with the singing and an amazing job with being on stage like that! Awesome performance all over.

Ben does have a voice on him though... have you heard him in To The Ends Of The Earth?

I LOVE his acting here! He's just... deadly hot.

No, I haven't seen it, unfortunately.

I think this particular version of the song cries for a johnlock video.

Oh stop it!
Although fair enough if somebody wants too do that, just not on this thread please!

Oh God this kept me awake for most of Wednesday night! I was just about to turn off my computer and go to bed when suddenly my timeline on twitter exploded with exciting messages and pictures. Couldn't believe I missed another fabulous guest appearance on a David Gilmour show at the Royal Albert Hall. Guess this is the place where all the magic happens, ten years ago David Bowie sang exactly the same song (plus Arnold Layne) and now Benedict. And I was actually there two days before Benedict's guest appearance, wondering if he might go to see David Gilmour while he is in London. But of course I never expected him to go on stage and sing... is there anything he can't do?

Yes somebody on Twitter told the Bowie story and wondered if Benedict knew!

If he doesn't, I hope he finds out! I bet he'd appreciate it
