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.

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

I feel like we need a monthly Brandon and Brian crossover series.

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.

He is heavier than you Brandon and doesn't speak exactly like you. That was brilliant! Love it! You guys love each other, we can tell...!!!

Brian has a lovely Broadway voice. And your harmonies are delightful. Such talent is inspirational. Thank you, both!

OMG the 2008 video looks like a skit, with the metal twin and the more classical one! Loved the video!

And that's why you're twins, there was too much talent, charm and good looks for one person! It is a beautiful thing to see brothers compete, advance and respect one another. Thanks for your videos!

Oh no... THEY'RE BOTH VAMPYRES. 😆🤣😂

I LOVE the embrace of the vampire memes xD

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.

Sibling harmony, especially twin harmony is really something special. That’s wild stuff

So much talent it had to be spread across two people!

So at 500k we’re getting the Simon and Garfunkel redux right?

This is one of the most wholesome videos I have seen in a really really long time. I love your chemistry together, guys. I came to the channel to learn how to play classical guitar and I have learned so much more than just how to play. Thank you so much Brandon!

"He taught me everything I know about things that go...pluck!" Lol

Probably one of my favorite videos ever.

Me and my twin watched this together and honestly this was hilarious, we both play both guitar and piano and the oud, we specially related to the competition aspect of it and just how you both got along in general, we too always get asked if we ever switched places, and honestly we have yet to do it well but one day we can get the day like this video hahaha.hopefully we both have such a close relationship like you 2 do at your age, truly an inspiration :D.

Ha! You didn't fool me, your jaws are different. On the question on who is more handsome. Well, Brandon is our handsome vampire. Brian is our handsome Disney prince. Both are immortal.

Brian looks like if Brandon were in one of those movies where a nerdy guy takes a pill or finds a spell that turns him into a more confident, slightly more jacked dude who doesn't need his glasses and immediately becomes a bit of a jerk when the newfound popularity goes directly to his head.

@vspirit

Hm. That's oddly accurate. You do get the notion that one is more introverted and the other extroverted. But you have to discount the fact that Brandon actually seems to have plenty of charm, confidence and charisma of his own and Brian's personality seems to be actually great, lol. But there's definitely a classic nerd and jock vibe going on between these two. From the looks of them alone, you'd think one would be a scientist and the other a high school sports celebrity turned wall street trader who don't look like they'd get along, and not insanely talented classically trained musicians who not only have a great rship with one another as both friends and bros but actually helped drive one another to be where they each are today. It's both so wholesome (though in a realistic sorta way) and sonically pleasing. It's stuff like this that reminds me of the fact that despite all its shortcomings, KZread is a great platform to find incredibly high-quality media. And why I watch vids on it (and other streaming sites) and hardly watch TV now. Also, talk about incredibly good genes.

I thought Brandon was perfection if perfection is a person. Turns out perfection has a brother.

You guys give off serious early Simon & Garfunkel vibes. Amazing playing and singing.

14:09 Nice f# not an easy task for a bass-baritone 😉 and from a seated position!!

5:25 we Germans write "Laute" and pronounce the "au" like "ow" in Power. Also the "te" like in (Te)st. Also "Acker" is german for field (or acre). :D Nice to have met your twin brother. You both are such great Artists. Greetings!

400 000 fans of classical guitar. Just incredible.

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!

Can't believe my eyes, thought you were joking. Beautiful brothers. God bless you both.

Oh no 😳 There are two exactly clones of thousand year old vampires

I started guitar because my brother played it too haha, and it turned into my career 🎸🎸

That intro gave me one of the most profound experiences in the uncanny valley I have ever had. 🤣

I didn't know your twin was Bradley Cooper. Such a cool person though..

when you and your twin have the same energy and just became a clone of each other. i do agree he had a great voice that first few notes of oh holy night is goosebumps worthy

Brian: -Theorbu and lut Us: We don't do that here.

This was so much fun. Loved the jam session. Two very talented brothers. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. ❤ God bless you both. 😇

This was just so wholesome, so awesome, and a delight from start to finish. What a couple of guys - Mum and Dad must be proud!

Brother's got a great voice (like his vibrato, so natural), but so do u, identical vocal cords! 😁 enjoyed the harmonies.

I have a twin brother too. I play guitar and he piano. But wow - to go on camera together is very brave :)

Why is this duet of O Holy Night not on my Spotify Christmas playlist? Absolutely fantastic, guys!

I was smiling like a proud parent throughout the video and tears started flowing down at the end when both of you started performing O Holy night. You both are just amazing and i am glad to be born in the same timeline as you guys.

Did not expect this to be a musical treat! Was a bit fooled at the start by Brian as well 😂🤣 what a great twin reveal! Next goal for Brandon, let's get him to 500k! 💪

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.

Dang y’all fooled me! I had no idea you have a twin. I honestly thought this was like those “parent trap” videos It wasn’t until both of you were in the same shot and started to see the subtle differences. Congrats to both of you and your talents!
