[@MrSF247]

Please get your brother to upload more on his channel! He would have an amazing channel with his singing and insights into the broadway/musical theater world. Would love more collab videos with you two singing and playing. As a fellow musician, I don't like too much to say "talented" because talent is maybe only 10% of it. You both have studied and perfected your crafts through years of intentional practice and dedication and it definitely shows.

[@Deipnosophist_the_Gastronomer]

It's like seeing Clark Kent and Superman at the same time.

[@josephzaccardi4597]

Of course your duet sounded amazing, you had 400 years to practice…

[@Xralfixx]

It is not just that… family often have the same kind of resonance within their voice. It is much harder to find someone outside your family to have that extra “oomph” when harmonizing.

I’m an identical twin and this was a lot of fun to watch! The “twin competition” is REAL! The battle to not be the “inferior” twin. It will drive you to success and a lot of counseling. LOL

[@jerryboics9550]

Brother competition is real enough. When you're twin there is no excuses

[@matthieuperrenoud]

Haha, you're so on point about the competition. I'll remember this quote! might even mention it to my therapist.

[@blahdelablah]

If it wasn't for the difference in your voices, I would have been fooled at the beginning! This was an enjoyable video, thank you both.

[@charlielucas3386]

@@loafdad I’m not lying when I say that I was too, 100%!! 😂 Brandon’s reaction made the intro even funnier!!

For me it was the inflection and rhythm in his voice at the beginning, it felt sorta forced in comparison to Brandon's more natural feel. This was definitely fun though!

[@musicislaw77]

Your parents must be over the moon to habe you both grow into such fine performers

[@jaungiga]

Some families hoard all the talent the rest of us is missing, lol. I'm friends with one of those crazy talented families: the father was an amazing painter, great poet and a phenomenal philosofer with some of the most interesting ideas I have ever read; his wife is a stupendous classical singer; their son is a great singer too and also a composer and a multi instrumentalist; their daughter can also sing but she's mainly a world class children's book writer and illustrator (she even won the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award which is almost a Nobel for children's literature). If all of that wouldn't have been enough, the daughter married one of the greatest playwright (THE greatest imo) this country has produced. Amazing.

Ah like my twin brother. Simultaneously the most awkward person and the most comfortable person to be around. Switching between love and hate as often as you blink.

[@afterthestorm7012]

I think that is the best version of "O Holy Night" I may have ever heard. I wouldn't doubt it, if you did it on the first take. You both should be very thankful for each other. Because of your strong competitiveness, you both helped make each other, the incredible musicians and singers, you are today. The banter between you both is really good. A much better and improved Smothers Brothers. (you might have to look them up :) Great job.

[@thrillhouse2114]

Twin? This is Bradley Cooper.

[@OkieRhio]

I have to admit, as a classically trained Coloratura, that Brian has an absolutely Stunning tenor range - and while Brandon might not be a classically trained Singer, you've still got an exceptional Baritone. I never managed to learn to play any instruments well - though I did attempt to learn Guitar, Banjo, and Piano. Never managed to build up good calluses for plucked, and my hands are too small (short fingers lol) to make a full octave on the keyboard without causing pain. Both of you are absolutely consummate artists - Bravo. edit: I absolutely refuse to try and decide which of you is "better looking" - you're both easy on these old eyes!

[@mattturner8212]
