I was NOT expecting James's voice to be this good, this man is incredibly talented

This is literally so wholesome. Notice how Manilow changes his style to match Jame's style. That is how you know he knows what he is doing.

I didn’t think I could find James McAvoy any more attractive, but my attraction has just gone up by 5000%

This was so so special, bless Barry Manilow’s heart, it was so kind of him to play piano for James (who was clearly thrilled) And James killed it 😂

Wow, was not expecting that singing voice to come out of James McAvoy. Kudos.

I can't believe it's been over 40 years since that song was released. Barry was an anomaly back then because disco was at its peak and he came out with beautifully arranged love songs with Broadway appeal.Those songs meant everything to me then and I still love them..

Barry Manilow is a goddamn national treasure! They don't make performers like him anymore.

Awww their sweet hug at the end!!! I love how James seemed so starstruck he couldn't really look Barry in the eye-- and then they both killed it during the performance!! This was just perfect!!

Barry Manilow studied piano at the prestigious Julliard Music School in NY. He spoke about being there in a most modest way when he performed recently at the Palladium. It was an amazing concert and his voice has just not aged at all. Immensely talented and all round nice guy too. Very generous in praise for his backing singers and musicians as well.

Didn’t realize James could sing. Love him even more.

Gotta love James McAvoy 😁 this was great. Great voice.

i could listen to James McAvoy's singing all day long

The feeling you get when your idol is playing the piano and you're doing karaoke to his song

Barry Manilow is such a lovely person, he just makes everyone around him light up

Barry Manilow deserves these moments, he's infectiously fun and enjoys his talents.

I've always loved Copacabana, and I loved hearing James MacAvoy sing it, especially with Barry Manilow playing the piano.

Could it GET more wholesome? No. No, it could not. So sweet. ❤

One of the greatest musical talents with no Hollywood drama

Whoa mamma, that just made James McAvoy even sexier than he already is.... lit the room on fire!!!

This needs to go viral! What an amazing duet, amazing vocals from McAvoy

Imagine singing Copacabana with Barry MANILOW accompanying YOU on piano!? Like, WHAT??!! Who gets to do that!? James McAvoy, that's who.

James and Barry, well done! Lovely ❤️❤️🎂

What a surprise! And James did remarkably, esp considering he was nervous.

My Mom was a huge fan of Barry Manilow, and I knew all of his songs too. I would've been starstruck as well. This was so sweet and uplifting. Big fan of both James & Barry.

Fantastic. Love Barry Manilow and also always impressed by James McAvoy's amazing talent.

Omg! You're a revelation James! 🤩😍 I didn't know you have a gift in singing. A true talented actor! 💯😊❤️

I love Barry Manilow. ❤ I love his music, and his beautiful voice.❤ I love how he’s such a lovely humble guy.❤ I love that he’s been in a relationship for about 50yrs. I used to worry that he had been lonely. ❤ And I love that so many people still love him, and his music.❤

James didn't do half bad, especially for being nervous. Well done to both of them.

Barry Manilow is such a class act!

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!!!!!! Barry you're so awesome!!!! James you're so awesome!!!!!

brilliant love his deep vocal.

james mcavoy is so fit guys don't even lie to yourselves

Love James' accent

How beautiful an artist should be to do it this good. James did it with utter respect to the artist just in the right level. He sang perfectly in tune but never intending to challenge Mr Manilow. He indeed was singing well but with respect and admiration at the same time. Love to all of them. One of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen on this show. Thank you Jonathan and to the other artists participating.

Wow, I'm very impressed with James voice!

Well I never that James could sing. What a fabulous voice to a fantastic song

Love Barry. Love his music.

I'm from Brazil, Copacabana

That was so enjoyable! Two of my favorite performers in what I would never have guessed was possible. Unexpected and great!

Music and musicians never age ❤️

Omg I love James ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍

Absolute prefection from the incomparable Mr. Manilow. One of THE best concerts my gang ever went to! Loved that man since a young teenager. Hats off, Mr. Manilow 🤳

Yes, he was the spotlight in those days … we had enjoy every bit of his songs 👍💫❤️❤️ it been so long ..

This was not something I knew I needed. Well done James & Barry! 💕

How exciting, getting to meet a legend with a story like that, awesome

Wow! Didn't see that coming! That was great!

I wish they finished the song, they were in the vibe!!!

Didn’t have that duet on my 2022 bingo card. Wow.

That was AMAZING!😍

I FELT IN LOVE! This man is... 1:21 is a precious smile

Some of my fav from Manilow's songs are Even Now, Mandy, Ready To Take The Chance Again and so so many more... Growing up listening to his songs some how taught me how to be poetic...

That was great. I'm sure it was on James' bucket list.

Great voice!

Wooooowow!! Well done!

Aaawwww that was awesome 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Just discovered this and all I can say is, “Wow!” I love this!

Is there nothing James cannot do?!

Barry was the man back in the day! Great video. James is just great.😊

LOVE LOVE LOVE James McAvoy

This must be James McAvoy's best memory EVER!!!!!

So cool!!

Oh my God! This is surreal! And delicious!! Two of my favourite performers come together in a most unexpected way!! 💗💗💗

✨ brilliant!!

I bloody loved the spectacle of Barry Manilow movies. ❤

I saw a film called The Pool a while back, a teen slasher movie, the best thing about it was a young Scottish lad, the one and only James, he was also in the movie Wimbledon, again where he was quite young.

Wow ❤

Wow!!!! He’s pretty good!!!!!!

He rocked it! 💓

OMG! How amazing is James! I love this!

That was Epic!

James is a lovely guy

THIS MADE JAMES EVEN MORE HOOOWT IN MY EYES🥺🔥

Bravo, James! Big fan here👏

Wonderful.

What a singer!

Wow! Barry is still alive!

My gosh James Mc Avoy....fell in love with you AGAIN!!!!

So sweet 🙏❤️

Well damn 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😳😳😳

That was awesome!!!🍹

Awesome! 🥰

Wow James that was phenomenal Very talented man Thanks for that I enjoyed that immensely

He can sing and admire him as an actor❤

Wow! ❤

Brandy…. Trying to get the feeling again. Beautiful songs and I’m usually into old R n B!!

Is obvious he is not a singer but is great that he did it anyway, i like that.

That was warm hearted watching.

Happy Birthday, Barry! 💕

First time i ever heard James in his thick accent, not his usual RP English in his movies

Incredible fun.

Barry is saved because of my prayers!! Praise the Lord!!👍👍

oh dear, how lovely!!

Love James McAvoy. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
