The New York guy is Josh Page who sung The Prayer with Josh Groban in concert nine years ago, as a volunteer from the audience. I knew I recognised him, great voices all of them! ☺️❤️
@Robert Garcia: You do realise, that this video is 8 years old? Il Volo weren‘t very popular worldwide till some years ago. And then one could also claim, that the three guys from Il Volo try to copy the three tenors Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras. Thats just nonsense. Just because there are three italian guys singing opera-stuff, that means no one else is allowed to do it or what?
Initially I hated her for saying that, but when I thought about it, it felt like she was a "mole" planted in the audience. How else did the cameraman picked up her words so clearly and at the right time? She probably had a hidden mic in her shirt too.
Linnaeus Now I understand why all those children get cancer……god was too busy giving these three guys good voices to pay attention to anything else. Thanks for clarifying.
If the New Yorker is a tenor, he's got incredible range, because he sounded like a natural baritone to me. Well done!!! They have a great balance and their tone is incredible!!!! The sky is the limit!!!
I can't believe that this was almost seven years ago. I've now heard each of them perform duets with my favorite singer, Jackie Evancho. All were tremendous.
That is a particularly difficult piece to deliver well, from the range, modulation and duration over any given note. Talented singers don't just sing this. They deliver it from their soul or else it won't produce the intended result. This was a truly brilliant performance.
You are right. Both of them have previously sung with Jackie Evancho. Fernando was with Foster in Asia a few years before this. They are not rookie singers.
Erwin, how weird is that this Forte group it's there first time singing together and they all 3 meet online and what are the chances are that. A Hispanic, a Korean, and a new Yorker Howie says lmao and they were analyzing wow, how they harmonize together and all wow.
Ive seen many artists turn up for a show no time to rehearse even. Go on knock em dead.. If you got the talent ..natural born talent you can do it.. They were very very good
Singing in a group CAN be very difficult. The special qualities of each individual voice need to be given the opportunity to shine...but not so much as to stand out when they sing in unison. Former soloists are notorious for “out-singing” other members of the group. Sometimes intentional... sometimes not...but THESE guys obviously know how to blend without taking anything away from the individual voices. It’s a pinch of luck, combined with a lot a natural talent, and even MORE hard work to get it juuust right. THAT ability....amongst a “few” others...is what makes them great!! Beautiful job guys...wishing you all the BEST!!!
As an impromptu opera trio, you swept the favor of the AGT judges, the audience, and, most definitely, me. The "Pie Jesu" is a breathtaking piece of religious music which you performed flawlessly. The perfect pitch, voice control and blend, and amazing tone never fail to deliver me to the edge of tears at the sheer beauty of your rendition. Despite your standing in the AGT finals, I could listen to you endlessly.
From the moment FORTE started to sing I was hooked, beyond hooked! They have tremendous talent and I absolutely love how they harmonize. They are destined for super stardom!
Josh, you're the one who was in the audience at the Josh Groban concert and the two of you did a duet. I've seen the video on youtube and just realized you're that guy. That was a brilliant performance! You guys sound awesome.
Imagine. Just meeting and how great they will be over time. Phenomenal sound, chilling resononance as the three blend in harmonizing those vocals. OMG! 😯😲😃✔💯

I remember singing this song in the high school choir competition with other high school choirs. We won the competition. Such a great and beautiful song.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Good singers are a dime a dozen...there are literally millions of them the world round. But the fact that these three could meet, basically randomly, and have the most amazing *HARMONIES*...That's the true magic of Forte!
My pleasure! I love your work and you've definitely expanded my musical horizons. My taste in music was pretty eclectic before but now I've added opera to the rotation as well. Kinda makes 'Shake to Shuffle' a bit more interesting. Switching from Charlie Daniels to Eminem to Metallica to Forte can make for a fun commute, that's for sure. :D
+Ark Lyte These artists are not ''singers'' they are tenors.To be a good tenor it takes years of education in serious classical music and a lot of sacrifice. To be an excellent tenor like them is extremely rare.Not even hundreds.
Athenian888 By 'singers', I meant those who are gifted with the ability to carry a tune in a pleasant and meaningful way. So, yes, they do qualify. This is a talent you are born with...if you dont have a good voice to begin with, all the training and study in the world wont make a lick of difference. Yes, the three in the video are excellent tenors, and yes, there are probably only a few hundred world class tenors around, but that wasn't really the point of my original comment. :) It was the amazing harmonies that the three of them created that were absolutely magical, especially when you consider how short a time they had been working together.
+Ark Lyte They do sound wonderful, but it isn't really as magical as you might think. It is called being a highly trained classical singer AND being professional in your attitude. If you have these qualifications, you can "throw" together some pretty magical sounding things very quickly. ...But then...it is exactly those qualifications that most of the "good singers" you talk about, don't have.
I am so so so happy to see Hana Ryu back with Forte Tenors!! Brilliant re addition and it will be very exciting to follow these power houses! The sky is the limit for these talented tenors!!!
I became oddly emotional listening to this. It struck a chord with my soul that I can honestly say I've never experienced before. I'll be looking into buying their music; awesome!
being a teenager i wasn't into this type of music but Forte completely changed that. Literally my favorite music type now just wish people wouldn't think i'm weird when i tell them lol.
+nick13213 it's all ok nick13213.....you are in good company with young and old alike. I'm glad you appreciate this type of music. This is music of the soul not like the bubble gum crap we hear today.
This part (3:05) of their performance was the most spine tingling and goose bumps inducing cresendo I have ever heard from an amateur Opera singing group in my life.
Amen.What can I say.This brought me to tears because it was so amazing awesome so Beautiful They Certainly Have Great Voices Great Talent.We Certainly need to hear more of them.Very Well Done.Thanks to them For sharing their Lovely voices. Brilliant.
To just learn English from the guy from South Korea is incredible. These 3 are meant to be the best of friends for life. Fantastic voices, best of luck to all of you.
my Father was a Tenor, Val Valenti, he sang on the Ed Sullivan Show and to many venues to count, he passed away in his mid 40's, listening to these young men just brought me to tears, what talent or as my Mom would say No it's a God given GIFT! BRAVO GUYS! BRAVO
Awesome performance. If they have been together for such a short time, the harmonies and blend is incredible. As a tenor myself, they have great control (as shown around 03:15 and maintaining the vibrato on that decrescendo shows skill). And, as for Hana's top C !!!
qui tollis peccata mundi !!! Just hits it ....they blend so beautifully. They are the guys A Hispanic a Korean and a New Yorker walk into bar and just sing
This is one America’s Got Talent that we missed! That’s why it’s great to you guys who post these, if we did miss one! And I’m glad I didn’t miss this one! These three young men from Puerto Rico and Korea and New York are fabulous! And to think the young man from South Korea had only been in US for four years and just learned English in that period of time! Amazing! And amazing tenor voices and sound! And I love the name of your group, Forte!! And your sound!!
The way that they just met online and decide to put their voices together are genius in my eyes.! So amazing
They are very talented ... their singing is exceptional.They deserve the golden buzzer.
This audition predated golden buzzer shows. There was no GB yet.
The two most difficult thing in show business are stand up comedy and opera. These guys knocked it out of the park. Bravissima!
The New York guy is Josh Page who sung The Prayer with Josh Groban in concert nine years ago, as a volunteer from the audience. I knew I recognised him, great voices all of them! ☺️❤️
How do you turn the volume up
🤔
No wonder everyone was so impressed, definitely so thankful that these three tenors made this very IMPORTANT EVENT
These three are a perfect example of a real singers.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
NO REAL SINGERS ARE IL VOLO. I THINK THESE GUYS ARE TRYING TO COPY THEM
@Robert Garcia: You do realise, that this video is 8 years old? Il Volo weren‘t very popular worldwide till some years ago. And then one could also claim, that the three guys from Il Volo try to copy the three tenors Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras. Thats just nonsense. Just because there are three italian guys singing opera-stuff, that means no one else is allowed to do it or what?
I've heard guys in a group for years and not sound near as good as "Forte", what a great group they are, great harmony. Loved their performance.
THE BEST that has ever performed anywhere on one of these talent shows. Unbelievable
Prejudging people is a cancer in our society. What is wrong with our society? What goes round comes round. What outstanding voices.
Their voices are like a walk thru Heaven. ABSOLUTLY PERFECTION.
I keep coming back to Forte, oh my gosh how breath taking their voices are . Heavenly voices. GOLDEN BUZZER MATERIAL ALL THE WAY.
Oh, yeah!
I just saw them perform tonight in FL, and the whole time I kept thinking that this is what heaven is going to be like! Thank you, Forte.
Chills, tears, incredible. Stay together!!!
Great Job !
The music piece is entitled "Pie Jesu" which is heavenly.. But their voices are grand that makes the piece more divine and extraordinary..
Fantastic singing. Very professional.
I've got the version by the 3 Priests--I think this is the same arrangement.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_Jesu
Looks they sang Webber’s version, leaving off the last two lines.
This clip still makes my heart soar. Bravo and well done!
Shivers for these 3 I love them. Gorgeous voices
I am so glad that these guys found each other...……….what an amazing sound....true talent!!!
I’ll bet you that the girl that said “They look like a joke” is chocking on her words now!
They are absolutely incredible!
Initially I hated her for saying that, but when I thought about it, it felt like she was a "mole" planted in the audience.
How else did the cameraman picked up her words so clearly and at the right time? She probably had a hidden mic in her shirt too.
It's all scripted. Body language or facial expressions can be understood for being real but statements are all scripted. She did her part well.
Love them...learned to love opera from Emanne Baesha
When you have that kind of God-given talent, you could meet at noon and perform together at 8:00 pm and sing perfectly. God bless them.
Linnaeus
Now I understand why all those children get cancer……god was too busy giving these three guys good voices to pay attention to anything else. Thanks for clarifying.
@@loriw2661 Still pissed at your dad?
Or maybe they just worked very hard to study classical music for years...

I love when a common crowd experiences the slight amount of classical music. It's so pure.
Everytime I see this I can hardly breathe

I couldn’t stop the goosebumps and tears.
I got so emotional. Beautiful voices and may God bless them!
These tenors have talent, charisma, and beautiful voices. I wish them well.
I come here to listen every few weeks. it’s that good for my soul. ❤️😃
This moved me to tears. I'm a tenor and I can really appreciate the vocal discipline it takes to sing this song. BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING! and MEANT TO BE!
How amazing. ‘When I was born, there was no internet.’
Now this is made possible. 💕✌🏻
Both Josh and Fernando have won the David Foster music competitions, and Fernando tours with David Foster. Saw them last month absolutely amazing!
You are right. Both of them have previously sung with Jackie Evancho. Fernando was with Foster in Asia a few years before this. They are not rookie singers.
Thank you for sharing. Great to hear. Fantastic talents! All the success possible to them.
There's no problem forming a group and performing after just a few days if all members are excellent vocalist/musicians. Kudos to these men

Didn't realize I had so many hairs at the back of my neck, everyone of them is stood to attention. Absolutely beautiful harmonies.
I never heard of this trio until today. WOW!!!
Apparently they hadn't heard of their trio either until a few days ago as well 😂
Daniel Quick Well, 6 years ago...
I keep watching this over every so often. I remember watching them on TV when they first appeared. I still get amazed and chills listening to them
From the moment FORTE started to sing I was hooked, beyond hooked! They have tremendous talent and I absolutely love how they harmonize. They are destined for super stardom!

My God outstanding just stunning will someone give these guys a recording contract they are stunning well done boys well done impressed
Listen to IL Volo. You'll be stunned by them as well!!!
Wow, there are absolutely no words for these guys, totally impressive
Wow, they send shivers down my spine, tenors never get old with me.
OMG! Australia loves this. Congratulations guys.
They needs to sing around the states for all of us
first Il Divo, then Il Volo...now Forte...ufff I love opera musica honestly this was AMAZING!
Josh, you're the one who was in the audience at the Josh Groban concert and the two of you did a duet. I've seen the video on youtube and just realized you're that guy. That was a brilliant performance! You guys sound awesome.
I just watched that before this one. What a coincidence. ❤️
i kind of thought he looked and sounded like josh groban and i too have seen that video thank you for pointing that out!
On top of all that talent, they just seem like such nice guys. Love them.
A wild surprise and a wonderful moment. Thank you!
Imagine. Just meeting and how great they will be over time. Phenomenal sound, chilling resononance as the three blend in harmonizing those vocals. OMG! 😯😲😃✔💯
Standing ovation of me too! Wow, oh wow. And they only met a couple of days ago. Very forte indeed.
These young men are amazing...moving....so talented. I can't believe there aren't a million views. Bravo...bravo...worthy of the Met and La Scala
They really deserved a golden buzzer
WOW ! ! ! Those voices are out of this world. Gave me goosebumps on my goosebumps .... can’t wait to hear more of these guys.
Those boys were great. Well done my friends, you deserve Vegas. Go get em, and I hope you win !
They got every single one of my votes every week. I love them & can't wait to buy tickets to see them live.
I love to hear them in person!
FORTE - you're fortified with great voices and perfect harmony. Love you guys! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Musicians do this. It’s how music works. And they are true musicians. Music is supernatural!

Amazing to me that three from such different cultures and languages can nail this beautiful song so well.
I remember singing this song in the high school choir competition with other high school choirs. We won the competition. Such a great and beautiful song.
OMG! These three young men are absolutely phenomenal. Wonder if they're still together singing because they are awesome! Bravo!
You guys gave me the cold shivers with your singing. Thank you 👏👏👏
Nobody since Pavarotti has given me goosebumps like you guys just did. You’re amazing!
Good
Listen to IL Volo. You'll get the same goosebumps if not more. Phenomenal!!
