This song is pure magic for me. It’s mesmerizing. It speaks to me. It evokes such beautiful memories of times gone past. When I listen to it, I relive my youth.
Thank you for being YOU - no gimmicks - no enhancements - just a down-to-earth REAL human with a wonderful talent. How lucky we are to have you. Keep well.
Unlike most other tenors, who are, frankly, a bit too bombastic for my tastes, Jonathan's voice is warm and sensitive, and full of feeling; he has the uncanny ability to modulate his tone and delivery on a dime. I have heard some people say that Jonathan's voice is like a cross between this tenor and that tenor, but really, Jonathan's unique voice is in a class of its own.
Jacqueline Hall - What on earth are you talking about? I think this comment belongs to the previous video you had been watching on RUclips prior to viewing this one. Hopefully you will correct your mistake, lol 😝
He’s a pop tenor, not an opera singer! He’s never sung an opera and that’s what opera singers do: sing opera in a theatre without a microphone. He has a great voice, but singing opera requires a completely different technique.
I imagine this man suffered as he grew up....we all do......but when he found the stage , the lights, and even the cameras, he found his HOME !! He has a wonderful ease when he sings, and can well match up like no one else with Sam Jones, Bobby Hatfield, and of course, Pavorotti !!!
This young man is just what this crazy world needs right now. His voice lifts me up and gives me hope. I am in awe and so grateful for your talent and gifts. Thank you for allowing me to experience bliss!💗 May God continue to bless you always!!
god... the murderous imaginary friend of yours that watches children slowly die of diseases? the thing you believe killed the human population multiple times. wow go see a thrapist come back and apologize I will even pay for your therapist
Jonathan Antoine is by far, the greatest singer of all time. He has the most beautiful voice, he chooses the prettiest songs, and listening to Jonathan in interviews, he has a heart bigger than the sky. Jonathan Antoine is a phenomenal human being!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
I am,! every day in fact, as I suspect thousands of others are too. He has single handedly kept me sane throughout this past year of lockdown. He is a wonderful young man & I love him & his spectacular voice. 🥰
Jonathan is a walking talking Divine Inspiration of human possibility and joy! I am so grateful he is so available to the common man! He is one of the best opera style singers i have ever heard! I love his humility and his gratitude to be loved and appreciated by so many! Thank you God for the gift of this soul in our world!
I am always talking about how wonderful it is to see Jonathan so happy he is a ray of love And hope for our world in this critical time. He is radiant, he just glows as he sings.I just love him ❤️🌟😘❤️🙏🏼💐🌈
I Love 💕 Johnathan Antoine I know he is the SWEETEST MOST ADORABLE TENOR MORE LOVEABLE THAN Any other. I Love his Beautiful Smile is. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🌈💥🌟💐with Love ❤️Beverley Poirier May God Bless You My Darling 🙏🏼💋
@Robert Caskie Have you watched his video of "Compass" from these same sold out concerts? It's beautiful and reflects on that time, it also has family pictures in the background. He has also co-authored a children's book called "Jonathan The Porcupine" available on Amazon. He does a reading of it here on RUclips. Enjoy.
Likewise. I wish I had watched his evolution from BGT. Hopefully, other people who have God given talents will hear his story and realize how much they have to offer too.
@@roymerritt348 me too! I just recently started following on other platforms though and I am addicted! He not only has an amazing voice but an amazing personality. What a gift he is!
I remember well when Jonathon first appeared on Britain's Got Talent, Simon Cowell laughed. He soon stopped laughing when Jonathon began singing! He told Jonathon to ditch the girl who appeared with him she would hold him back but in true Jonathon style he said no I will stick with her like she has stuck with me! I became a fan and admirer from that point on. God speed Jonathon don't ever change.
He has certainly changed. Remember before he sang, and he hardly spoke. Then afterward he did start talking. Now he's wonderfully vocal. He has such a great voice.
Jonathan is as much an artist as Monet or Rembrandt. Only he paints his masterpieces with music instead of oils and watercolors. Listen to this song and you can feel the slow, sultry pace of the South during the summer of a gone by era. Amazing
He sang this excellently. His voice has depth and shimmer, and compliments very well the mystical, nocturnal mood of Gershwin's masterpiece. Jonathan deserves his accolades.
I am 88yrs old and listened to a lot of tenors from around world ,but when you and challote appeared in bgt I heard a young man with a great voice, I now believe you have a voice equally as good as pavaroti maybe when it really matures ,I may not be around to see it but take good care of it
@@cliffordwhittingham2027 I know that my reply is late, but the ONLY other tenor that has touched me with his voice like Jonathan do is Jussi Björlings.
@@Xarai what proof do you have that says my God Condones these crimes that you say?!!! My God is an Awesome God and if you don't see that then I feel sorry for your ignorance! But remember God still loves you and you can go to him anytime, even after you said these hurtful things.
Jesus John. Have you ever become something. I saw this guy on AGT many years ago. Voice blew me away. His shy and humble charm hiding this incredible voice with a veil of insecurity due to the cruel nature of judgemental peers in youth. I watched his videos from that show then went about my life. Always remember him though. Then I stumble on this and see what he's become. Wow. He has the power and control of a great opera tenor yet he has the sensitive soul and timing of a blues/jazz singer. The way he has mastered the combination of soft and powerful vocal styles within the same piece is nothing short of moving. This video was like a walk in an opium field and now I'm going to slip down a rabbit hole of his music.
Everybody has heard Summertime sung by various singers and to me, it was just a song that I could take it or leave it. Jonathon ,s version is unique and stirring. I love it now, but only when he sings it. I just love his voice anyway.
Maravillosa! Jonathan really hit it out of the park with this one! What Jonathan is revealing to us is that he is a true artiste, a true interpretative genius who can adapt his voice to an incredibly wide array of musical styles and genres. Bravo!
I've watched Jonathan since he first appeared on BGT. His voice has grown up and become an amazing thing to hear. I get goose bumps every time I hear him sing.
Wow he is the best . He touched my heart and brougt tears to my eyes. Simon Cowel knows how to pick a star. I Remember his UK Got Talent performance , and I thought a star was born . Thanks for posting this magnificent performance for us to enjoy .
I've always adored this song but never as much as i do following your performance. Your voice is amazing ....and just like that the wonderful, shy young man with a huge voice has become a confident man with a voice that is sublime....what a wonderful gift you are to the universe Jonathan. ..
I would love to hear Jonathan's interpretation of "Starry Night". I am sure his sensitivity and talent would bring depth to the song and tears to the eyes of those who listen.

What an incredible performance and way to sing summertime. It doesn't feel like if you were just singing, I really enjoy when you sing because to me it's more like a story that you are telling with differents nuances as long as the song goes on. I'm amazed for such a beautiful way you sing a story in your songs.
I really get chills when I listen to you, your songs are a drug for me, I can't do without them, and you become an international star because it's from France that I listen to your songs, you will compete with Andrea Bocelli. This interpretation of this song in tenor voice fills me with happiness. Know that I take your example and that I created a youtube channel thanks to you !!! Thank you so much. Excuse me if there are any mistakes i'm french
@@carolynneal102 Have you seen the rehearsal video, of Jonathan in the church with the orchestra singing Nessun Dorma, for his Sold out Toronto concerts? Just scroll down and you'll see it. On Twitter and Facebook too. He sang it for his Encore!!!
@@carljacobson8342 I think I've listened to virtually everything now ,I'm addicted ..Even his rehearsals draw me in ..I have to admit since being a small child listening to my father's 78's ,my operatic heart belonged too Mario lanza ,Even though he died before I was even born ,But for me Jonathan evokes that same love like no other opera singer I've heard since lanza
@@carolynneal102, When I was small I used to love listening to Mario Lanza, too. I vaguely remember the movie The Student Prince but my dad purchased the 33&1\3 vinyl record and we played it often. I loved listening to it over and over.
So hauntingly beautiful!!! I keep pressing rewind. THANK YOU, Jonathan! By the way, I'm writing this midway through the Covid-19 brouhaha, when the media wants people hyped. I played your Summertime and immediately felt so deeply soothed, warm, safe, and secure. I especially took to the line 'Nothing can harm you, with Daddy and Mommy standing by'. I'm elderly myself, but there's something in your delivery that surpasses reality. Your orchestral accompianists are PERFECT for you.
Veritasss, I’m 76 years old and have survived the Covid-19 myself. I spent 5 days in the hospital in quarantine. I almost died, but God spared me. He is such an amazing God. My prayers are with you, and I hope you get well soon. The beautiful music that Johnathan sings helped heal my sole also. May our Lord bless both you and this amazing young man.
Rebecca Day, Well Done You, I am a similar Age as you and in lock down, I hope the Non Believer’s in this virus head the people that survive it , like you and many more, Blessing’s to You and as you say this ‘Amazing’ Young Man ‘Genius’
@@lilimiguelez4072 actually he was taken to see an opera instructor (his name escapes me now) who has worked with some of the great Italian names and he said simply... I have nothing to teach this young man. And as far as pop singing... We all have to make a living and Opera - which he sings very, very well- demands a long time... He'll get there, don't worry.
I love Jonathan and he’s such a talented young man. His voice is powerful yet is warm and alluring. I do hope that he gets help with his weight. I’m not criticizing for the sake of being critical rather I worry about the health implications of being morbidly obese. I want to see him live a long and healthy life.
Hello Jonathan, I have your DVD, Going the Distance. Just perfect. I need more so that I can sit and watch you sing. Please keep me posted on your future plans and concert, don’t ever let your star go dark. We all need you in happy ans sad moments. Thank you
Dear Johnathan, the love you express through your beautiful voice, touches our spirits to unspeakable places. So thrilled for your success. Don't change a thing about yourself, you are exactly who God created you to be. Thank you. ❤
A big fan of Lara Fabian and her way of telling a story through sheer mastery of her unbelievable voice. Kinda never found a male singer (tenor, perhaps?) with that degree of emotional sensitivity - before Antoine, that is. ❤️
Your ability to turn a song into a strong, emotional, and an American songbook tune into your own, is what a true artist can achieve. Brilliant performance! All the best to you.
Jonathan is a serious projector of Loving Kindness, Grace, & Humility for this world to witness what direction it needs to go. Thank You Great Man = Jonathan.
I received my CD in the mail this past Friday. I'm so happy with the music. I can relate to Country Roads and Summer Time. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
I feel blessed that I can go and see him live. I know he is a wonderful singer but when im no longer here his voice will have matured to such a level that will surpass any opera singer gone before him. So I will enjoy every opportunity to see him live .
I fell in love with this super talented young man at his audition in front of Simon Cowell. What a voice!!💕
This song is pure magic for me. It’s mesmerizing. It speaks to me. It evokes such beautiful memories of times gone past. When I listen to it, I relive my youth.
I love how I can clearly understand each word he sings! Absolutely fantastic voice, too! It’s a true pleasure to listen to him! Beautiful! ❤
Thank You!
Thank you for being YOU - no gimmicks - no enhancements - just a down-to-earth REAL human with a wonderful talent. How lucky we are to have you. Keep well.
Warmest tenor!! Voice.....We need this in our society of trash...
TOTALLy AGREE RAE :)
Agree!
I agree ...this is a precious hearted Man...I love him!!! Hope he lives to be a 100 n God Blesses Him..
YES! I agree 100%!

Nai Man Somehow I have never thought Him as a tenor only. I think He has a baritone in Him as well!!!
Jacqueline Hall - What on earth are you talking about? I think this comment belongs to the previous video you had been watching on RUclips prior to viewing this one. Hopefully you will correct your mistake, lol 😝
Nailed it Nai!
I think of it as 'Warm' tenor.
How does a British opera singer get to sing American Oldies in a perfect way? Awesome! Fantastic! Fabulous! 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He makes this look easy!!!! I've been following him since his first time on BGT!!!!!! Look forward to seeing you sgain.
American Oldies _ _ ANY Oldies as good as this one transcend countries as well as time.
He’s a pop tenor, not an opera singer! He’s never sung an opera and that’s what opera singers do: sing opera in a theatre without a microphone. He has a great voice, but singing opera requires a completely different technique.
Agree absolutely sublime also he is so humble fantastic opera singer exquisite 👌
To be fair Porgy & Bess is right in the grey zone of opera vs. oldie
SO HAPPY TO LEARN HIS CAREER DEVELOPED AND GREW.
I imagine this man suffered as he grew up....we all do......but when he found the stage , the lights, and even the cameras, he found his HOME !! He has a wonderful ease when he sings, and can well match up like no one else with Sam Jones, Bobby Hatfield, and of course, Pavorotti !!!

I suggest you look up Giuseppe Giacomini. Comfortbaly superior to Jonathan.
And I'm 78 and can say the same thing, there's never been anyone like Jonathan, wonderful singer and wonderful human being.

This song is about my life, being born and raised in the south as a true southern farmer’s daughter. I absolutely love this. Very beautifully done
Everybody has heard Summertime sung by various singers and to me, it was just a song that I could take it or leave it. Jonathon ,s version is unique and stirring. I love it now, but only when he sings it. I just love his voice anyway.
I saw your journey across the stage, now I watch your journey across the world. Well done, young sir, well done. (Tips hat)
He sings so passionate he's amazing.
Great Singer,
A Legend in the making.
I am finding his voice comforting during this difficult time.

A lovely reminder of better days to come. Recorded by many, but none can compare to this. Loved.
Couldn't agree more. Such a wonderful rendition of the original. He has such a way of making great songs so much better!!!
I would love to hear Jonathan's interpretation of "Starry Night". I am sure his sensitivity and talent would bring depth to the song and tears to the eyes of those who listen.

I love Jonathan and he’s such a talented young man. His voice is powerful yet is warm and alluring. I do hope that he gets help with his weight. I’m not criticizing for the sake of being critical rather I worry about the health implications of being morbidly obese. I want to see him live a long and healthy life.
you keep on amazing us Jonathan, brilliant.
Hello Jonathan, I have your DVD, Going the Distance. Just perfect. I need more so that I can sit and watch you sing. Please keep me posted on your future plans and concert, don’t ever let your star go dark. We all need you in happy ans sad moments. Thank you
Dear Johnathan, the love you express through your beautiful voice, touches our spirits to unspeakable places. So thrilled for your success. Don't change a thing about yourself, you are exactly who God created you to be. Thank you. ❤
I just love Jonathan Antoine so much, his voice, his personality, and his kind manner. He is a one in a hundred million.
i bet this dude could do an epic bond song
A big fan of Lara Fabian and her way of telling a story through sheer mastery of her unbelievable voice. Kinda never found a male singer (tenor, perhaps?) with that degree of emotional sensitivity - before Antoine, that is. ❤️
Your ability to turn a song into a strong, emotional, and an American songbook tune into your own, is what a true artist can achieve. Brilliant performance! All the best to you.
I knew from the first time l heard you that you were destined for fame. Thank you Jonathan for sharing your God given voice with the world and me 💕
Jonathan is a serious projector of Loving Kindness, Grace, & Humility for this world to witness what direction it needs to go. Thank You Great Man = Jonathan.
Im so jealous,, i have asthma and can barely make a sentence and not lose my breath. Jonathan it is alwas a pleasure to listen to you sing. ❤
I received my CD in the mail this past Friday. I'm so happy with the music. I can relate to Country Roads and Summer Time. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
I cannot stop listening to his videos
He is so wonderful. What a great talent.
beautiful vibrato best tenor in all time
this kid's voice is amazing...truly a God's gift
I feel blessed that I can go and see him live. I know he is a wonderful singer but when im no longer here his voice will have matured to such a level that will surpass any opera singer gone before him. So I will enjoy every opportunity to see him live .
