Get ready for your crush on Brian Sims to go from “hey he’s pretty great” to “take me now.” Your favorite bearded Pennsylvania representative just uploaded a video to Facebook of himself singing along to Jodi Benson as Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
It is lovely and cute and perfect, and hopefully will inspire a series. What would you like to see him sing next? (Personally, we’re torn between “Colors of the Wind” from Pocahontas and “I’ll Make a Man out of You” from Mulan.)
And more broadly, it would be awesome if this got more politicians into the lipdub game — whether they want to or not. Donald Trump would never do anything like this, but we’d love to see someone synchronize clips of him to “Be Prepared” from The Lion King.
In his description, Brian writes, “I hope you’re having as fun of an afternoon as I am! #GoinCampin…with Ariel!” Yes, sir, never were truer words spoken. You certainly are indeed camping.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Sims is your typical politician who at the end of the day is a narcissistic and self centered person, and only cares about himself and his political career.
GayEGO
That is OK, we are not looking for a relationship, just a quick tussle in bed! :>)

@ErikO: @ErikO:
You are so correct. Sims is conceited and very unlikeable. He thinks he’s God’s give to mankind.
robho3
I think he needs to do some Brittany next —dangerous!!!
robho3
Although he is totally copying James cordon’s carpool Kareoki to a certain extent — and James does it soooooo much better.
xanderbear
@robho3: Actually… videos of people singing in the car have been around way longer than James Cordons more recent popularity.
PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID
Muthafucka should be arrested for driving without due care and attention to anything outside his own narcissism

I only look at him here on Queerty and otherwise probably wouldn’t even know he existed. I’ll say I like him more with a beard than without — but I’m biased towards furry guys……;-)
DarkZephyr
@ErikO: And you base this one what?
@john_simpson: And you base this on what?
dwes09
@DarkZephyr: They base it on their imagination. Their solipsism trumps Sims’ imagined narcissism.
Plus they may well be jealous of Sims’ position in the public eye, something they will probably never have.
SteveDenver
He’s adorable and he does a knockout performance — not too over-the-top and very emotive. That was a pleasure.
Now I want to see him do SOMEWHERE THAT’S GREEN from LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.
SteveDenver
@DarkZephyr: As a wise 6th grade teacher once told me: “If people are trying to bring you down, that means they perceive that you’re above them.”
Slash
Don’t know much about him other than his label as the hot gay politician of the moment. Being gay doesn’t make him more interesting in and of itself and it seems a lot of guys here aren’t fans. Too bad. I hope he’s doing a good job. All I know is that it’s true, he’s looking very hot. And I’d do some karaoke with him in a heartbeat.
ErikO
@dwes09: Nope, we base it on reality. He’s a total narcissist and only cares about himself and his political career.
trell
Totally egocentric, narcissistic and a blatant publicity st……

….swoon. What a DISH! <3<3<3

@ErikO: @john_simpson:. “very unlikeable”. Look in the mirror and yes that much I and everyone else here agrees with.
robho3
@xanderbear: oh thank you for correcting me in so stupid.
Tête Carrée
@robho3
If you say “me in so stupid” you’re probably right.
nitejonboy
Honey keep those sexy eyes on the road, there were times where 20 seconds went by before you looked up again, your hunky ass coulda been killed, then where would we be ? We need you in office!!
lucem.ferre
I can’t tolerate guys lip syncing chick songs; doesn’t matter if the guy is gay or straight. It looks ridiculous and stupid.
Heywood Jablowme
@john_simpson: @ErikO: You guys would probably like it better if a closet case like Aaron Schock were lip-synching Ariel. (That video is probably out there somewhere!)
ErikO
@Heywood Jablowme: Nope.
ErikO
@Babycakes: LOL you certainly do love projecting your own issues onto other people. Sims is a boring narcissistic politician who is a media/attention w h o r e that only cares about himself.
Billy Budd
Now THAT is the kind of politician we need. He is not as good as the straight but gay loving canadian prime minister but he gets close
breid
Trolls trolls trolls. SO much negativity
Mo Bro
I initially resisted viewing this video, as I was sure it would destroy any image of Sims’ perceived masculinity, and man was I right. This guy’s nothing but a true-blue cupcake with pink icing. Surprised we didn’t get a rendition of “I Feel Pretty” instead.

He is a bad example. He’s in his car/truck paying more attention to the phone, and not driving. When driving, drive. Do not talk on your phone, text, or watch yourself making a video. He is a danger to himself, and to others.
