Alan Cumming performs "Mein Herr"

[@maddieadams3413]

alan should perform cabaret as a one-man show. no joke.

Precisely!

Absolutely!

[@jenbeveridge4618]

Cabaret should be a one man show of Alan singing all the songs, cause he does every single one perfectly.

I always thought Alan Cumming would make an awesome Doctor

This never occurred to me before, but YES!

Sir John McPoopington XVII Jr I was literally thinking that omds

[@eissaphir]

Old post but he will actually be in Doctor Who (not as the Doctor but anyway)

[@hellmouthboy]

It always catches me off guard how Scottish he actually is

[@superchubbles]

Someone just pointed out to me that Alan played that kids' TV guy in Spy Kids and my brain exploded.

[@lilywelsh5308]

he's amazing isn't he

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

You mean Floop.

[@mortalkaiban]

I used to sing the song he sang in that movie when I was a kid. Something like..."You can dream my dream..etc."

[@raina9872]

mortalkaiban It’s a cruel cruel world, all you little boys and girls, and some mean nasty people want to have you for their supper. 😂

[@MoiraRussell]

my sexuality is this video at the three-minute mark

[@Marianne_L]

Interesting to see him perform using his accent. Personally, I think it makes it ten times better, but perhaps that's my Scottish bias.

[@zqueen1229]

I imagine Shrek

[@lissabear135]

my god. this whole thing. just... GAH. WHY IS HE SO ATTRACTIVE

[@vitart-info]

Exactly my thoughts every time I see him!

[@grittyfaithgrittyfacts]

Because he's bi. Bi guys are smoke shows bc of how confidently transgressive they are. Girl catnip.

[@alexl92]

Alan Cummings is the original Andrew Scott: so intense. Even his “softer” roles have undertow of danger. Both can play anything and be epic. So awesome!

[@francesca556]

You’re so right for this!

[@drewskivanderbilt2897]

If only Alan could turn Cabaret into a one man show performed by him

[@valmacclinchy]

Yes, please!

[@XISCify]

It's so nice to hear someone from the UK actually singing in their native accent instead of putting on a fake American one. Wish they'd do it more often.

[@lanamonroe463]

XISCify he’s actually from ireland :)

[@lanamonroe463]

Sappho omfg i said ireland BAHAHA i meant he’s scottish sryyyy

[@cece-707]

we don't put on a 'fake american accent' when we sing. the vowels you use while singing are naturally more open, and you lose a lot of the distinct stress patterns of an accent to the rhythm of song, so it sounds more 'american'.

[@bethanbaker7066]

@@cece-707 Exactly, I'm Scottish and i naturally use a PR British accent when singing which sometimes slips into American just because i mostly sing musical theatre. If I really try i can do it in a Scottish one but it just sounds strange unless its folk music. I also just want to add that I can't speak in another accent at all, I've tried and I'm horrendous at it, it only happens when I sing.

[@ApproximatelyJane]

It's fun to see how this song turns out out of context, when a performer really puts his back into making it impressive instead of playing it as epic trainwreck Sally.

[@sonyahannah]

Not every actor/singer could successfully sing with a convincing "German accent" while articulating the English/Scottish glottal stop [ "beh-er off," for example]. Superb!

[@abbyniloingsigh7188]

I always had a crush on him as a teenager in Son of the Mask, but I never realized this is really a popular opinion. Glad he is appreciated.

[@dee_lulu]

Son of Mask had such low ratings on the internet but a lot of people had seen it. I thought it was a rare thing to like Loki in that movie but here I am-- a bi having a huge crush on another, older bi.

[@-DARKLY-]

I had a crush on him after X-men 2 😅

[@janeminwell4395]

This man has an outrageous amount of charisma.

[@valmacclinchy]

Alan is a living legend.

[@Wisepati]

I love this with the Scottish accent coming through. He is just such an amazing performer, and I love to watch him. He does a great interview as well. Why can’t I find people as cool as that to be friends with? 🤣

[@omegajrz1269]

Imagine having Alan, David Bowie and Freddie Mercury as best friends.

[@ladyarabellamalfoy]

What I like about this version that it is serious and tragic as it actually is and not covered with showy vocals and performance like it's usually done. But it is still emotional and showy enough for the song to be mind-blowing. The pain is all there.

[@valmacclinchy]

Alan is such a unique and gifted artist. Legend.

[@sonyahannah]

Would love to see him as a vampire. . . or as the "Sweet Transvestite" of RHS.

[@NotSpelledAlex]

yes.. i love rocky horror

[@somedude5191]

I would die happy if he was in the Rocky horror picture show

[@sanjadanilovic]

The best version I've heard. What a phenomenal actor; a masterclass in acting every single time.

[@bloodyadorable2656]

I live for the way he says "I always said that I was a rover"

[@annacrane6982]

I recently saw him perform this live, he absolutely OWNED it, I was blown away, mesmerised the whole time. I met him after too, wow is he cool! but I was surprised that he came across as quite...I suppose you could call it unsure, there were 15 strangers staring at him after all so I don't blame him!

[@JavertRA]

A lot of people who seem so confident whilst performing are surprisingly shy in real life.

[@valmacclinchy]

I danced with Alan in 1999, in Cabaret at Studio 54. What an honor it was.. Alan is such a versatile and mesmerizing artist, and offstage he's sweet and humble.

[@brynnanashton2865]

It's an absolute love! You give me chills, Alan! You are a masterpiece of art yourself!

[@susanadams8896]

What a brilliant entertainer👏🏻 and what a brilliant actor...so much love and respect for Allen.

[@erfanashkan5925]

it was a ''fine'' afaire killed me

[@califdad4]

this is really good, but the fact that someone compares this to Liza Minnelli's is something he was not trying to do, this is his and his alone. Liza's is her version and the one that will always be remembered when someone thinks of Mien Herr, almost 40 years later and the reason this is being done today!

[@artistphx]

As talented as he is, he can pull of almost anything!

[@kendahke]

Alan Cummings is everything. That is fantastic!

[@JanXD91]

i absolutely adore him! i was very young when i first saw a film starring Alan Cumming and it wasn't a very big role so i didn't pay much attention to him. When i was a teenager i saw him in X2 and i loved his portrayal of Kurt Wagner. Ever since then im just fascinated by him! not only is he crazy talented but he just seems like an all around nice guy and very chill.

[@Jaybers100]

Amazing performance. Guys a legend.

[@barbaraharney3050]
