Am I the only one who thinks these videos from Sierra and Julian are some of the best things that began during these difficult times!?

[@gpippind]

Yes, I agree! I'm thrilled that they've come up with a way to let us appreciate the beauty of their singing during these times

[@oddball8974]

Totally

[@tancyleao999]

I love this opera of Borodin … kismet it is a dream at night ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@peterhenry986]

Heard this beautiful when very young… beautiful memories 😊❤ what a beautiful rendition!!!❤❤❤

[@horsewhale9]

The look on her face as she approaches the cadenza; the confidence that shows from that smile and from the gleam in her eyes because she knows she's going to hit it beautifully - oh and she does!!

[@singers47]

Omg. I have listened to this 20 times in a row. How glorious is this? An escape from the cares of the world. It gets no better than this. Thanks to these two talented people for sharing their musical gifts with us mortals.

[@josephsears7047]

Thank God for Sierra…she keeps the tradition of American musical theater alive…👍🇺🇸

[@mariviclopez2101]

Worth the 10 year wait to hear these two sing a duet again! Next to Ramin, Julian's voice perfectly matches with Sierra's lovely soprano.👏👏👏😘😘😘

[@55archduke]

Just like Romeo and Juliet. Or Tony and Maria, right?

[@WMJCPA]

I absolutely agree. Their voices are an organic blend as if they were meant to compliment each other.

[@WMJCPA]

I absolutely love this song. Sierra and Julian do it tremendously.

[@cynnsmith9434]

Their voices blend so beautifully together, what a fun concept for us all at this awful time, housework, chores and beautiful voices. Thanks so much, from Julians birthplace Sheffield UK, Sierra a heavenly creation.

[@frankptarney3861]

One of my all-time favorite songs sung by a beautiful couple. Thanks for the memories! I'll never do any household chores again without this song coming to mind!

[@johnlynch4901]

How anyone could give this a thumbs down is beyond my comprehension. What more could you want? Two beautiful people, two magnificent voices, and an unforgettable song.

[@MrRbjunior83]

Sierra is the most beautiful thing in the modern world! I am happy that thanks to such singers as her, Julian, Ramin and others, this beautiful music continues to live in this terrible world. Thank you!

[@limthiamteik]

This is the best rendition of Stranger in Paradise .... Ever !

[@ernienanos1957]

Sierra, Thank you so much for posting. When I was a little kid, I used to listen to this beautiful song, with my parents. This brings back so many memories. God Bless you, Sierra, God Bless your beautiful voice, God Bless Julian and God Bless Julian's Beautiful voice. Tears in my eyes.

[@FazerWiz]

EVERY time I hear Sierra sing, the quality of her voice and accuracy of her pitch surprises me. Why it should still surprise me when I've seen her in several rolls live and have several of her recorded performances I don't know, but it always does and I always get goose-bumps. Can't wait for her to return to the theatre when this hell is over.

[@jimdailey8228]

She is most definiitely the "goosebumb girl".......

[@blanchefan]

So lovely--so wonderful to hear Sierra again--and Julian! I watch their legendary duet of West Side Story's Tonight about every other day--it's sheer magic. :)

[@JimsJims-ot6ol]

These 2 are sensational together......beautiful cover of Stranger in Paradise!

[@miamiracer]

This is sooo cool.Two of my favorite performers going about their home duties while waiting their turn to sing (beautifully). Sierra is so pretty and Julian, with his salt and pepper hair is handsomer than ever. I only pray to God that this pandemic is over soon and I can see them together on Broadway. By the way, thank you Sierra for coming to Athens Georgia just before COVID hit, I got to see you live!!

[@ingridrajithskysong5369]

The joy these 2 voices and souls bring is priceless ❣️Their ability to bring the depth of human emotions into their vocal performances is a rarity. Thank you for sharing your love of music, your well honed skills and authentic spirits to your work. You are truly a blessing from God. Namaste.

[@charleemikaela2328]

Oh wow, Sierra and Julian, that was wonderful!! I could repeat that for thousands of times. Thank you so much!!

[@remyedwards1097]

Their chemistry is so captivating and I love their style of expression.

[@zeldareyes336]

When your mom says that you need to do the housework, but you want to sing with your friends.

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

😂😂😂

[@tinasnow2937]

Sierra casually being a plant mom while Julian pours his heart out to her: 👩‍🌾

[@paulwei234]

I have listened that they sung together so many songs. This one is the most amazing one.

[@debbieparenti3998]

I have always loved this song. They sing it so beautifully.

[@user-uh5re3co6j]

The best and beautiful duet in the world.

[@jlmjd1964]

Obsessed with these two amazingly talented and beautiful people

[@JimsJims-ot6ol]

These 2 are sensational together!!

[@harryboggon8718]

[@madeleinecimatu6677]

Worth the wait. But we want more....Please.....

These two Julian and Sierra have given us something so beautiful .Really divine !

[@lulamidgeable]

They are both good actors with their voices, not just beautiful singers. It makes such a difference.

[@irmad9375]

Julian & Sierra - that was glorious!

[@israsara]

[@JimsJims-ot6ol]

Pure joy from these two magnificent voices!

[@Concetta20]

Amazing! What a dream to have these two sing this song together! Perfect choice!

[@houstonvanhoy7767]

So beautifully sung, so tongue-in-cheek cute, so much fun to watch and hear!

[@remyedwards1097]

Julian’s voice is so invigorating, heartwarming and very refreshing. He and Sierra’s voice make it so much more enjoyable to watch and listen. Strong chemistry of personality is what makes it so great to see them sing together.

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

This was so beautiful but i couldnt stop appreciating how beautiful Sierras eyes are

[@janettefrancis7445]

Julian and Sierra should do a musical together can't wait for the cd to come out Julian loved South Pacific I went to see it and stream it to spectatual show can't wait to see you in concerts and TV take care you lovely man

[@TheRealCoryKent]

One of my all-time favorite songs from a movie, and that last note, how you both timed it together perfectly!

[@paulschilling4953]

I just ran across this searching for 'Stranger in Paradise' (because I like the tune) and what a wonderful, delightful production I found!

[@lengerrard3810]

Every once in a while two people come along..... but we will wait a long time for this to happen again 🎶🎶👍

[@Armis71]

This is hilariously brilliant! Housework and singing at the same time!

[@55archduke]

In the same vein, check out "Mama's Grand Ole Opry" by Iris Dement

[@carlosgomes9124]

Fantastic love this two, love all of the song's they sing

[@leeday8920]

This is just so perfect! I can't wait for the album and the concert! Thanks so much for this. I didn't realise just how much I needed it! 👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗

[@almorabe4033]

sung well despite household chores...different and unusual presentation yet entertaining, love beautiful Sierra

[@ingridrajithskysong5369]

OOOHHH this is spectacularly glorious -- I cried - the joy in their eyes and smiles as they did this was so heart warming -- their voices exquisite --- I do feel like a mere mortal next to this Godly given talent! Thank you soooo much for this gift!

[@gpippind]

This is so amazing, watching them go about their home duties while singing like angels!

[@marthaabrahamson6813]

One of my favorite songs and that was just beautiful

[@antoniojcarrascoalvarez2526]

The only good thing that has come from this pandemic is that so many wonderful performers have shared their incredible talent with the rest of us.

[@chickchick3953]

I'll never leave this earth without listening to them live first. Love you both.

[@johne6081]

There is nothing like a well-sung duet set to a timeless Russian melody. Delightful!

[@kirsteeny8969]

so incredible! thank you sierra and julian for sharing this masterpiece ❤

[@likeamiracle7487]

wow it's so beautiful a duet to listen to! just make me thrilled and can't stop playing and watching. what lovely charming eyes Sierra has. she really is the best thing we can have in this world! thank you for sharing!

[@jqc0487]

I love these videos I can’t wait for this

[@grahammewburn]

MAGNIFICENT!

[@user-tg6mh6de1v]

Bravissimo! You're great! Such a wonderful musical mix! Borodin would have liked it!

[@janette3196]

I love Julian ovenden and Sierra bravo to them making this album in lock down deserve to win the grammy

[@garypaquin9571]

This duo deserve far more recognition than a mere Grammy. They have been given out by the thousands and to some very mediocre performers.

[@ThirdCultureChinese]

I did not expect her to pull out that vacuum 😂 😂

[@belindanadela4203]

😅

[@rudyvelez1741]

.stirred up some sweet memories from your phenomenal performance at the BBC Proms West Side Story balcony scene..then, I thought you two were a perfect match like you were real lovers as Maruca & Tony...great to see you both singing together again...I really enjoyed it

[@claracosta4352]

I sawthem at the Proms for the first time and I can't get enough. Both are sensational artists refined and totally right at the moment if choosing their repertoire!!! Never leave us please!!!

[@TheRealCoryKent]

I don't know why, but I really liked seeing Sierra water her plants in between her singing parts. Maybe just the love for life in all its forms? :-)

[@geneseedesigns]

I felt a slight nostalgia for the golden days of American musicals when mega talents sang their hearts out on the big screen.

[@yvetteverania8988]

What a great way to end my daaaay! OMG! It’s sooo beautiful! Thank you Sierra and Julian for this video! It’s sooo relaxing and calming.. ohhh your soothing voices waaaaah 🥺😭😍❤️💖🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!!

[@ariespharaoh747]

This is so beautiful, was so great being live. Have a great day everyone

[@montarcilioestrela1590]

Well, I m watching this gorgeous again, and again, and we are on 2023. I hope hear it much more times in future. Marveieuse.

[@darrellsimpson6966]

That was a really sweet version of this wonderful song.

[@xuancle]

Just stumbled upon this clip. Interesting setup and beautiful voices. Awesome!!! Thank you both.

[@Paula_thebestofthestory]

Sierra Boggess, (Words? Floored!) LUV! Dorothy (Tampa Bay, Florida)

[@byronbrunelle6225]

I wasn't going to miss this even it is 8:00 in the morning. Thanks.

[@ashareeoo]

I'm always waiting for a new duet from you two, so this was such a pleasant surprise after so many years. Thank you! 🥰

[@achalin2008]

Creo fervientemente que artistas de esta calidad son angeles. Los angeles nos elevan fisica y espiritualmente y Julian y Sierra lo hacen sin duda; y de una manera exultante. No es la primera vez que los escucho en duo (ej.: balcony scene con la orquesta de John Wilson) . Un balsamo para estoy tiempos dificiles. Gracias

[@jeannetteharrison4011]

Fantastic - what a beautiful pair beautiful voices & beautiful to look at

[@natashatabert1506]

I can't stop listening. Just beautiful, Thank you Sierra and Julian thank you.

[@leosmith1175]

Great as always. Why can’t they make a CD together.

[@carolgarabedian01]

Two nice singers

[@joalexsg9741]

Just amazing duo with this classic movie song adaptation of Alexander Borodin's masterpiece. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrAlexsegal]

It was a stage musical song before it became a movie song.

[@carolbaker7279]

I Love how casual they are!

[@sallybowkett9925]

A beautiful lift to all who hear. Thank you both.

[@debbymann4616]

Beautiful duet!! Loved it!!🎶❤️

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

Divine! Thank you.

[@trugraceful]

Great beginning to the afternoon...thanks for lovely music!

[@ajparadise6649]

Hearing my hero sing my last name in a song is probably the closest I will every get to meeting her, but I will take what I can get. This is was amazing and very beautiful.

[@joanneb3935]

I sing when I do housework, too. Wish I had Julian with me, though. Phew! Love this!! Thanks for sharing, Sierra and Julian!

[@ilanawulf9335]

Thank you so much for this beautiful duet, Sierra and Julian!!

[@Dusyanya]

[@zhlltu]

It is now one of my favorite songs, SO beautiful!!!

[@pattimuse1]

Such a beautiful duet! You sing so beautiful together!🎶♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@hawrnball]

This made me absolutely melt

[@christopherjuniper113]

Delightful in every way - reminds me of 1960s recording I grew up listening to with opera stars Robert Merrill and Regina Resnick staged by Mantovani. Bravo.

[@MrAlexsegal]

I know that Merrill and Resnik took part in a wonderful recording of Kismet back in the 1960s. But I don’t think they ever got round to recording “Stranger in Paradise”. I hope I am wrong about this.

[@originalkyliearnold]

A beautiful recording, and an adorable video. ❤️

[@richardgornalle4536]

Simply beautiful music.

[@robertbecker1638]

Sierra, I am not sure what I can say, but here goes. I have been a fan of Broadway since I was a teenager. I' now 78 and have been married for more than 50 years but whose counting. My wife and I got engaged in Chicago and we saw Gypsy in Chicago that same week. We've been to New York, and London. We've scene Phantom 2 times, but I fell in love with you after seeing your performance of the 25th anniversary. I reached out to try and meet you to tell you just how fantastic I thought you were. Then the BBC released the 2 years when you and Julian were featured at Proms. I can't tell you how many times I have watched those clips. You two were perfect together and really performed fantastic. I really thought you love "tony". Your new album is a dream come true to be able to see you two performing together again, singing the type of music I love. At 78 my bucket list is very small. But you need to know that seeing you preform live and then getting to say hello and thanks for you great work would remove one of the most important items on my list. I don't know how to reach out to you other than to give you my email address and pray that you might some how reach out to me. So hear goes Robert Becker bobpu@@t. Thanks and keep the Broadway music in your heart and keep Julian singing with @t brought tears to my eyes on several occasions. Julian if this somehow gets to you I would hope you would send my comments on to Sierra and to both of you It would be wonderful to meet both of you but that might be a larger order. Love you both.

[@boritajti2870]

love Julian just casually hanging around... and I love the iron with the dress shirt on it :)

[@TimeandMonotony]

Ahhh my favorite love song! This was so beautiful and adorable. 😊

[@conniemoore8475]

Absolutely brilliant thank you 😊

[@robertovens9372]

absolutely Outstanding!
