@@caretaker2222 , unfortunately with the way the music industry is nowadays compared to Pavarotti's generation its very unlikely that Jonathan will experience a similar level of success and fame, I agree though that he would be deserving of it but to be honest I don't really see celebrity status as important and I'm not sure Jonathan's quite shy exterior is really cut out for that level of attention despite the fact his confidence has clearly grown alot since BGT.
JOHNATHAN IS BRITISH AND BULLIED MERCILESSLY AT SCHOOL BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE, TAKING HIM TO THE DARKEST PLACES A SOUL SHOULD GO, BUT HE WAS GIFTED THE MOST AMAZING VOICE WHICH FORTUNATELY WE ARE ABLE TO ENJOY. HE HAS A LOVING AND SUPPORTIVE FAMILY, AT 17 SIMON COWELL COMPARED HIM TO A YOUNG PAVOROTTI, OUR GAIN, THANKS FOR SHOWCASING THIS TRUE STAR.
This young man us incredible. He had been horrendously bullied at school and was a nervous wreck when he appeared on BGT at the age of 17 as a duo with Charlotte who gave him the courage and support to perform. They made 2 albums then split. He recently released his 4th album. He has come such a long long way and what a kind and compassionate sole he is. People travel from all over the world to attend one of his concerts. He touches your very soul when he sings.
Jonathan and Charlotte appeared on BGT 2012. A few months before, Jonathan had quit school, and was suicidal due to the daily bullying about his weight. When he stepped on stage, Simon said "Just when you think things couldn't get any worse" I hate to think we almost lost this beautiful voice and wonderful young man. We were very fortunate to attend these sold out concerts in Toronto. He stunned everyone by singing "Nessun Dorma" as his Encore. People were standing, crying, cheering and throwing roses on the stage as he sang! It was magical. He also sang "Compass" about those difficult years, there are family pictures in the background. Watching that video is what got me through 2020. it would be great if you did a reaction of that song. Also, "How Great Thou Art" from his live streamed Christmas concert, there's a hint of Elvis in his voice, and that last note is STUNNING!
I think that if you just came across one of his videos you would think that this is a young man with an outstanding voice, but if you first watch his BGT audition and see that scared, shy teenager shaking like a leaf on that stage, you just fall in love with him. The difference between him then and now just makes my heart happy and I wish him a long and successful life and career.
He's still so young, gathering the experience needed for operatic greatness if he so chooses. The snobs of the opera stage will demand that he takes that course before they will accept him as a new Pavarotti but he has the expressive theatrical delivery to wow the opera world, there to be knocked out of court. For me this performance stands againt that of the great man, richer, more rounded and less metallic and he clearly works at his Italian enunciation. The world lies before him.
Jonathan singing "Io Si/Seen" per Grammy award winning composer Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart, as did his new CD "Christmasland Platinum Edition" many traditional songs, also "Caro Gesu Bambino" and "Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle" all are Wonderful! "Amazing Grace/Grazia" and "These Are the Special Times" Music Videos are Both Beautiful to Watch and Listen to.
I tear every time I hear him sing opera. As an 17 yo, he sang on Britten's got talent. So nervous. He was overwhelmed as the audience rose to their feet as he began. I watch that twice a year.
Jonathan has the voice that comes along once in a generation, His power ,passion and performance is sublime and needs to to be experienced live at least once in everyone's lifetime although once is usually not enough .Fans travel the world to hear him perform and be immersed in his voice.He performs amazing classical arias ,classic songs gentle lullabyes and even country style songs all different but brilliantly executed. His voice has the power to reach deep and touch the inner soul of the listener .Once you go to a Jonathan Antoine concert you are never the same

Her reaction makes me melt. The smile she gives I cant tell she had goosepimples when he hit that first high note and her getting goosepimples gave me them
Ginger, your expression at 02:32 is wonderful, gets me like that too. I've watched all perfomances of Caruso that I can and no one catches that moment quite like Jonathon.
After they were on BGT Jonathan and his partner Charlotte did a tour of opera centers in Europe. They met with Pavarotti's coach and after Jonathan performed for him he told Jonathan that there was nothing that he could tell him from a coaching standpoint. Quite high praise given to a 17 year old. You could try the female version with then 17 year old Jackie Evancho.
Please listen and watch Jonathan Antoine video..these are the special times.monenti splendidi...I cry every time I watch it..it is on his Christmas land cd... beautiful beautiful beautiful.xx
Jonathan is the youngest Tenor to achieve 2 #1 Charting Classical Albums in history look him up he will BLOW YOU AWAY Sei STRAORDINARIO BELLISSIMO amore a tutti Jonathan 😘😘❤
@@carolmorgan1291 Thank you for the information. I’ve checked Antoine schedule , but bummer he is not performing in Texas. With the type of job I have it’s impossible for me catch Antoine performance in Michigan, or Florida. 😫
New Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" per Grammy award winning composer Diane Warren's request! It is STUNNING!!! Jonathan's producer Grammy award winning Gregg Field wanted to add a chorus, Jonathan said no, and did the harmonies himself. Gregg Field said Jonathan was right.
I remember this guy, he was on Britain's Got Talent a few years ago, 2012 I think? He sung in a Duo with his friend Charlotte, I just remember he was extremely shy, until he got on stage and then wow!
He made his debut on BGT with Charlotte and they were 16 (Her) and 17 HIm respectively. and both killed it! and its been phenominal for both of them Charlotte went into theater plays musicals etc. and Johnathan here as you see him he is in the top league of all Tenors. no doubt in my mind. And he does not speak italian but his pronunciation is almost flawless he does study the meaning of the lyrics for sure. Thanks for sharing ECF>
By this time, you've probably heard more of Jonathan Antoine's music. But if you haven't, check out his performance of "Empty Chairs & Empty Tables" which is mermerizingly beautiful.
Thanks to the person who proposed this title and to you Ginger & Mike who reacted to it. I knew the song of course cause it's an opera classic gold. But I've never listen it by this artist that I didn't know no more. Really impressive!
Dieser junge Mann ist unglaublich. Er wurde in der Schule furchtbar gemobbt und war ein nervliches Wrack, als er mit 17 Jahren bei BGT als Duo mit Charlotte auftrat, die ihm den Mut und die Unterstützung gab, aufzutreten. Sie nahmen 2 Alben auf und trennten sich dann. Vor kurzem hat er sein 4. Album veröffentlicht. Er hat einen so langen Weg hinter sich gebracht und ist ein sehr freundlicher und mitfühlender Mensch. Die Menschen reisen aus der ganzen Welt an, um eines seiner Konzerte zu besuchen. Er berührt deine Seele, wenn er singt.
Jonathan is amazing! Only 25 years old here and we have all know him since he was 17yrs on BGT. He has had two number one classical albums and released his third and fourth solo albums in 2020. Check out Tenore, Believe, Going The Distance and ChristmasLand. Not only a beautiful singer but a beautiful person! I think the world of him.
Actually he was 24 years old, concerts in Toronto, Canada. Recorded ‘ Going the Distance’ the same year,released in mid- summer of 2020 and recorded ‘ ChristmasLand ‘ in 2020 age 25.
Yes of course! I've lost a year somewhere! He was 24 years old in 2019 when the concert was held in Toronto and he started to record Going The Distance the same year. 25yrs old -ChristmasLand. I wonder what this year will bring?
@@glennishiggins3007 Same here. I also thought he was 24 in 2019. 🙀 During a chat he mentioned his Birthday that he was turning 26 in January. Sad to say, PBS has canceled his concert (s) in Arizona for April,and I wouldn’t be surprised that Florida, Canada,etc all will be canceled too. Have you watched Antoine singing ‘ Momenti Splendidi ‘ in his home studio? , plus he will have a live stream on Friday at 4:00 P.M. on U-Tube.
Please react to Jonathan singing "Summertime" from these same sold out Toronto concerts, filmed for American PBS TV. Both his voice and the Strings section are hauntingly BEAUTIFUL!!! Also, Jonathan's video singing "Io Si/Seen" per Grammy award winning composer Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart as did his recent CD "Christmasland Platinum Edition" which contains "Caro Gesu Bambino" "Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle" and "Silent Night/Stille Nacht" sung in both English and the original German.
I only like mob comedy movies, lol. Jonathan looks familiar, wonder if he was on AGT, BGT, or something like that. No understanding of Italian language but music/singing is universal therefore I can say he has a great operatic voice, powerful when need but also a soft power voice before building up. Also the orchestra did a wonderful job supporting/complementing Jonathan!
Jonathan broke into things on 2012's britain's got talent.. he and friend Charlotte Jaconnelli completely made simone eat crow for summarily judging them before they auditioned... they made it to the finals, but did not win. Since then Jon has continued to perform & evolve grow into a powerful force in Opera & Charlotte has made the British musical stages her home
What an amazing transformation from BGT to where he's at now. Were Luciano Pavarotti and Andre Bocelli this good at Jonathan's age ? Opera experts, talk to me
Please react to the song named "Caruso" sung by Luciano Pavarotti. The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla (from Bologna, northern Italy), wrote this while staying in one of the rooms where Enrico Caruso, former famous tenor (From Neaples, southern Italy), spent the final days of his life. Caruso was 48-years-old when he died, and a few years before Caruso died, he married Dorothy Park Benjamin who was 20 years younger. They had a baby girl they named Gloria. Lucio Dalla wrote this song while imagining how Caruso, who knew he was dying, would have said goodbye to his young wife - the love of his life. curiosity: in sicilian dialect the word caruso means (ragazzo) boy.
You should check out this video from 2012 of his and Charlottes audition on Britain's Got Talent. In this we see how if it was't for Charlotte he would have never auditioned. Also it is another great example of Simon Cowell jumping to a conclusion way too soon. I will put the link down below. ruclips.net/video/ZsNlcr4frs4/видео.html
@@joannebuck3124 That was typical Simon but at the time I don't think he heard it and he ended up showing Simon that you should never judge a book by its cover. No doubt he saw it after and I am sure he was hurt by it.
Have you heard Io Si? Jonathan harmonizes with a line he wrote himself and recorded the day following the video recording. He's amazing. That's io si, not Lo Si.
Mike and Ginger, give Paul Potts - La Prima Volta (First Time Ever I Saw Your Face) (Live At Kiev Opera House) an airing. The phone salesman has come a long way!
Mike, Ginger PLEASE Amira singing this IN A PIANO SHOP IMPROMTU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have the two greatest here and a lot of people would like to see them on the same stage. Just look for Amira Caruso.
@@MikeandGingerAs a teen I watched the first Godfather at a movie theater when it came out. The bloody horse head in the bed put me off watching all the sequels. No way!!!!!😱😱😱🐴🐴🐴🛏🛏🛏
Check out Joe Mcelldery who was on the BGT (?) a pop singer who was on a show training him to sing opera. I think he did a great job of crossing over to opera.
He Went Viral Globally when he was in BGT on You Tube- And Was About to Launch His Concert Live Across The States when Covid Happened- & Has A Global Fan Base-This is a Classical Tenor not a very popular genre! Nobody had heard of Pavarotti until he sang on a football field!
@@adamknight7041 Opera Has Always Been An Elitist Genre-Ticket Prices Alone!-Difficult to judge now just how well known he was before the Nessun Dorma episode! bet many have never heard of Gigli!
@@gabrielleridgway405 not in the public domain perhaps but in opera circles Gigli, Pavarotti, Corelli etc....were household names long before the likes of Pavarotti and Bocelli popularised the genre
Juup britain got talent...amazing audition believe it was a duett he sang with a girl and Simon cowell wanted to Split them....🤔 not sure if they won ...nice to see he is still performing amazing voice!!!!wonder what hapoened to the girl..great reaction..stay real and healthy!!
If I remember correctly, Jonathan and Charlotte came in second, losing out to a performing dog! However, I think Jonathan has done better in the ensuing years than the dog ;)
After 2 successful albums and tour together, SONY offered them each a Solo Contract. Charlotte's album was released first. After, she returned to Music Arts School and graduated. She now has a successful career in Musical Theatre, which was always her dream, and has performed in London's West End! Both are doing what they love.
Fantastic! I guess most like his higher notes, but to me it are his lower notes that I love most. Butter smooth! Great trouser suite (dress?) by the way. I love that color! Although I don't know the name. I'd say olive, but it is not. That sounds quite convincing, right?
@@MikeandGinger Ginger, here is an Opera piece for you, Kathleen Battle singing Ima Voce Pico Far from 1984. One of the most beautiful voices you will ever hear .ruclips.net/video/4FwZKjFJ-qo/видео.html Enjoy.

Please listen to him sing Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, it will take your breath away
love Jonathon thnks
Mike and Ginger, give Paul Potts - La Prima Volta (First Time Ever I Saw Your Face) (Live At Kiev Opera House) an airing. The phone salesman has come a long way!
You should watch his first audition with Charlotte on BGT!! Blew everyone away - Charlotte & Jonathan!
Jonny please don³'t ever the love and emotion you show when you sing love you
thanks to Charlotte he became well known, she herself has a good mucical carreer as well TG.
I believe I could be wrong that the song is about a man gazing into the eyes of the woman he loves though he is ill and he is going to die
Such a smooth and mellow voice! Reminds me of Israel Z, the Hawaiian singer.
Jonathan was on BGT with his friend Charlotte at the time.
fantastik e bravo jonatan
I'm a huge fan of Jonathan !!
Mike, Ginger PLEASE Amira singing this IN A PIANO SHOP IMPROMTU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have the two greatest here and a lot of people would like to see them on the same stage. Just look for Amira Caruso.
Did you see his start competing with his then partner Charlotte,
on one of Simon Cowell's shows in 2012? It's on YouYube.
Yes. And Simon was correct is telling him, Charlotte (a so so singer) would only hold him back
Italian opera the theme from Godfather and Caruso are both on the Italian Gangsters level
So you don't like mafia movies but your leaning Italian. I learnt most of my Italian from mob movies😁😁😁😁😁
What a beautiful voice
🤣 it’s a conundrum, to be sure
@@MikeandGinger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MikeandGingerAs a teen I watched the first Godfather at a movie theater when it came out. The bloody horse head in the bed put me off watching all the sequels. No way!!!!!😱😱😱🐴🐴🐴🛏🛏🛏
Lara Fabian also does a very good version, such a beautiful song and Lara has such a great voice as well. Still enjoyed this rendition though❤️🤘🇦🇺
Check out Joe Mcelldery who was on the BGT (?) a pop singer who was on a show training him to sing opera. I think he did a great job of crossing over to opera.
He Went Viral Globally when he was in BGT on You Tube- And Was About to Launch His Concert Live Across The States when Covid Happened- & Has A Global Fan Base-This is a Classical Tenor not a very popular genre! Nobody had heard of Pavarotti until he sang on a football field!
Unless you liked opera in which case everyone had heard of Pavarotti long before he was introduced to a wider audience at the Italia world cup
@@adamknight7041 Opera Has Always Been An Elitist Genre-Ticket Prices Alone!-Difficult to judge now just how well known he was before the Nessun Dorma episode! bet many have never heard of Gigli!
@@gabrielleridgway405 not in the public domain perhaps but in opera circles Gigli, Pavarotti, Corelli etc....were household names long before the likes of Pavarotti and Bocelli popularised the genre
They lost to a dog act, BGT, unbelievable. He bring tears to my eyes. So emotional. BRAVO 👏
Superb!
A must hear is Jonathan’s duet with himself singing The Prayer
Also, Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy
Juup britain got talent...amazing audition believe it was a duett he sang with a girl and Simon cowell wanted to Split them....🤔 not sure if they won ...nice to see he is still performing amazing voice!!!!wonder what hapoened to the girl..great reaction..stay real and healthy!!
If I remember correctly, Jonathan and Charlotte came in second, losing out to a performing dog! However, I think Jonathan has done better in the ensuing years than the dog ;)
After 2 successful albums and tour together, SONY offered them each a Solo Contract. Charlotte's album was released first. After, she returned to Music Arts School and graduated. She now has a successful career in Musical Theatre, which was always her dream, and has performed in London's West End! Both are doing what they love.
Fantastic! I guess most like his higher notes, but to me it are his lower notes that I love most. Butter smooth! Great trouser suite (dress?) by the way. I love that color! Although I don't know the name. I'd say olive, but it is not. That sounds quite convincing, right?
Thank you! It is olive, but may look slightly different in camera. It is a one piece jumpsuit. - G
@@MikeandGinger Ginger, here is an Opera piece for you, Kathleen Battle singing Ima Voce Pico Far from 1984.
One of the most beautiful voices you will ever hear .ruclips.net/video/4FwZKjFJ-qo/видео.html

#Bigfarmer8// Then you would enjoy ‘ Jonathan Antoine’ album “ ChristmasLand’ his voice is astounding throughout this album.
