@@HappyLife693 I was going to say that wayyyy before you. Actually i was thinking it before I saw video. I am known in my family as an acoustic clairvoyant. Ave maria e aahhhh. I would sing this in our prison choir.
Most people are just walking empty shells. This looks like London, the notorious soul draining city where everyone is running in their hamster wheel afraid to stop even for a second.
This hymn is so special to me. My husband and I would have been married 60 years this year. He passed and this song was our favorite. It was sung at our wedding and his funeral. You and the young lady have brought me great joy this day. Thank you.

@@alonzogarbanzo I had to stop a whole family, Mom, Dad, 2 kids and Grandparents here in Canada, they were ALL on their phones playing Pokemon walking along a beach... Meanwhile, above their heads, a Bald Eagle was preening himself... I pointed to the bird on a pole 30 feet up, to be fair they were amazed...🦅
She opens her mouth and an angel flows out from her soul. I had goosebumps from the first note she sang. ❤. This was incredible. Thank you, bless you for this.
There are people with angelic voices. When you vibrate at a high level you will stop and experience their goodness. For those who just walk by their vibrations are much lower.
If you are too busy in your life to be able to stop and listen to a blessing such as this, you need to effectually change your lifestyle. Bring back humanity!
How sad that not one person took a few minutes to appreciate some real talent, taking place in front of their eyes, and for no charge….absolutely beautiful
Her angelic voice immediately touched my soul so strongly that my eyes filled with warm tears rolling down my face. Absolutely moving and beautiful beyond words ❤
@@ronlheureux7623 No you can't! There's only one Britain. Unless you mean Britons, but can't spell. The young lady's voice is very sweet and I enjoyed listening to her very much.
Many who do not seek fame will have it thrust upon them. But, still most who deserve it will never see it. And God help those whom it is thrust upon, for many will not be prepared for it.
Are people so locked into their daily schedule that they can't even stop for 30 seconds? Even in Shawshank every prisoner stopped what they were doing to listen. Even if you don't like opera, Ave Maria transcends everything and it's just pure beauty and emotion.
@@zureai Hey argue-bot, you could have scrolled by this suggestion but you stopped here to listen. it would be extremely unlikely that someone that was listening would not even glance over at the artists,
@@thereisnospoon52 Not a suggestion, I’m subscribed to this guy. And I can browse on the web and comment while I’m sitting in my Uber towards my destination. Lol
This performance has immersed me in two emotions -- First, serenity from the sheer beauty of the voice and music; and second, sadness that so many people were so busy hurriedly attending to the details of their lives that they couldn't pause even for a moment to appreciate it.
Exactly my sentiments. Not one single person stopped to listen to world class operatic singing. As you say they were too busy rushing to the sea like ignorant non cultured lemmings…..too busy on their phones talking dross.
This young woman’s voice is so angelic, I can’t believe she was just walking to be somewhere. So many with wonderfully hidden talents we don’t see. Brendan, you did a great job not overpowering her voice. Thanks to you both for sharing this precious moment❤
I think Brendan head haunts his performers for his channel, but no criticism as he has brought us so much joy over the years from people we wouldn’t ever hear sing or play.
The dynamics in rhe second part, where her voice was warmed up and fully resonant, were absolutely PERFECT! What a treat to my singer's soul, thank you!
I cannot believe that people just walked on by and did not stop to listen to this most beautiful presentation of Ave Maria. Dr. K this woman was beyond good. She was magnificent! I am not a religious person. This presentation makes me question myself. Thank you to both of you.
Her beauty, effortless clarity of voice lent with sincerity to John's playing, gave me goosebumps ... and yes, the world is fucked up when people don't stop to appreciate such awesome talent.
AGREE, Folks are dealing w/ issue after issue and folks don't remember how live.. All stressed , angry , uptight , 24 / 7.. FOLKS , STOP , LOOK AROUND , UP N DOWN AT WHAT WE HAVE
To be fair, at least one person sat down on the steps to have his lunch while listening. It looked like he was about to applaud, just when the video ended. But yes... So sad that the vast majority of the passersby were in too much of a hurry to stop & appreciate the beautiful music.
I just love hearing these very varied impromptu performances. The sponteneity of two people connecting briefly, to.make music, brings me pleasure. Brendan thank you. X
And to think, if people put the same amount of time into learning to sing like this, than they do with “social” networks, the entire world would be an amazing place! This was lovely.
@@nancyterrywhittemore2015 its always beautiful to see accomplished musicians play and sing with their harts. I don't think people know hiw much work has gone into learning how to play and sing. It brought tears to my eyes because of how beautiful it was. I dont even know the words. Avay Maria is is Italian? Beautiful done. Made my day .
And not one person stopped to listen. The voice of an angel and a charismatic and wonderful pianist to accompany her.....what more do we need in our day people? I loved it.
I don't know about others, but i am usually in a city only when i am running an errand, and have no time to spare. The other thing is, that i don't like being recorded, so even if i would for some odd reason be able to stop and listen, i would look to be out of camera. Apart from that, classic music and actually being able to perform music without autotune and electronics is generally underappreciated today which is another reason nobody stops and listens.
It would take something mighty important to keep me from stopping to listen to this young lady sing as all those other people walked on by. What a beautiful voice. Bonus: what a beautiful smile and unassuming demeanor. Thank you both for sharing this, one of the best performances of this song that I have ever heard. Simply beautiful. ❤️
I've never seen myself as a classical music fan, but this amazingly talented young lady had me mesmerised. No microphone, special effects or these voice changing software you hear about...just pure, raw talent and a voice of a goddess. Somebody else mentioned this, but how can you walk past this and not stop. I really hope the right people see this video and offer her a life changing opportunity.
Absolutely, Pure for sure, Not that you'd need to, but imagine in a studio no noises just her n the way Brendan played that piece, 👍 The serious look on his face, he delivered that on the Level of her playing field, N it was top draw stuff
My favourite song, so beautifully sang and played. Unbelievable how people just walk on by and not listen to this. I would of stood there and given a round of applause afterwards.
The young lady is so talented, peaceful and humble and gave of herself completely to the moment. Her voice is effortless and melodious and the hymn came through as a complete spiritual message. Its Diwali as I hear this and I can feel the blessing. Thank you to both of you.
I waa brouvht to tears too. What are the odds of this being a chance circumstance? To be a musician of talent is hours and hours of work. Those two are phenomenal together. I learned how to play guitar . I appreciate music and talent when i see it. Those people walking by are clueless. I'm so glad and fortunate to see such beauty that words cannot do this justice. . Thanyou for making my day.
@@johnramirez5032 Hi John. As you say this does seem to be an incredible coincidence that an unassuming very talented opera singer happens to walk by. However the area looks to be Covent Garden in London, home of the Royal Opera House only a few hundred yards away,. Also it is bang smack in the middle of the West End where Opera is also performed at the Colosseum nearby. Bear in mind that not every trained opera singer can get work in opera and end up playing their talents in the West End musicals. She is extremely talented and it is a shame that nobody had the time to just stop and appreciate her talent.
I am an old metal head from the 1980's. When I hear perfect pitch, my skin starts to curl, and I think the world is finally good again. This was beautiful. I hope this lady is working, doing what she loves! If not, I hope she is teaching and passing on her skills to the next Generation, so that our kids can have music, just like we did. With the classics, as well as those that brought us Metal, like Iron Maiden, and many others! Music is a language, not a sheet of paper! When written with class and skill, the animals will head,,,,,
Born halfway the 70's, gabber untill I'll die and still need a daily portion of techno...Watching this moment of two talented people got me into tears. I was shocked people just passed by, not realising they were passing by something special! No force in nature would be able to move me if I would have been blessed with a private performance like this.
I would love to hear more from this talented voice so pure in her intonation. i’ve been thru a very rough period lately losing my wife of many years having covid and then losing my dog. my sister has been diagnosed with cancer and my own health has gone down a lot. this is the first item in my morning and how beautiful the pianist and to then listen to this purity of voice what a beautiful start to my day. thank you and Iintend to listen to this many times. you both have brought peace to my world .
This dear lady (Jessica Norton) sings this so wonderfully. What brilliance, to perform this cold, without vocally "warming up", and crucially in a manner without artifice or exaggeration, simply pure, and completely appropriate for this piece.
Perfect pitch, perfect timing, perfect voice! The whole package, and she just happens to wander by, like an angel from on high, and make his entire year. And she turns the pages as needed to continue singing and to help the good Dr. K continue trying to keep up with her.
Watching for the second time here after a day or so and it came to my mind that maybe she was already warmed up from some prior thing/practice. Doesn't diminish her greatness a drop tho
Oh my god, i had this in church for my daughters funeral 2 years ago, tears rolling, first time i have had the courage to listen to it, this is amazing, thank you so much xx
A well trained human voice on top of her innate voice and skull shape. Very good, very pleasant to hear. No idea what an angel sounds like but unlikely to be defined by western European choral music and the buildings designed to handle it
Beautifully sung - and without a warmup! I can't believe that people were just walking on by. I would have hit the brakes so fast I might have broken something, to listen to such wonderful music as that... Thank you both for the unexpected gift.
Had I the chance opportunity to be passing by as this performance was happening, I'd have stopped dead in my tracks and listened, in reverence and gratitude. What a rare and beautiful moment...and to watch people just walking by as if these God-given gifts happen all of the time. Heartbreaking. Bravo to the young lady with the voice of an angel, to our wonderful pianist, but mostly to God for giving us this gift.
Wow, she was damned good! Just pulled off the street, no chance to warm up her voice and she starts belting out those beautiful soprano notes! As others have said in the comments, how can you not stop and listen to that and appreciate it? I'm looking at her thinking man, she'd normally be on a stage in a beautiful gown singing that. Beautifully done young lady, beautifully done.
We, who follow Brendan, know that he can handle a piano but this girl's singing was also superb! Greetings from the countryside in SE Sweden BTW. Thank You both.
No matter what I was doing and where I was going, I would have had to have stopped. What is wrong with people???? That was absolutely beautiful and I find it sad that everyone was in such a rush that not one person stopped to listen and absorb a bit of beauty in these trying times. I loved it.
Free. Spontaneous. When the universe presents you with such experiences, to not stop and appreciate them is like rejecting a sunset or ignoring a waterfall.
I’m not a classical fan but I have to say, that was truly wonderful. I could not have walked past without stopping and listening to such a beautiful performance both from the singer and Doc K
Beautiful…having sung this in church choir, I’ve never heard it performed Moore wonderfully. Just think, walked up un rehearsed, outdoors in cool weather performing with a stranger. Absolutely incredible.
OMG, Brendan Kavanaugh.....what a beautiful surprise to hear the two of you ...her voice is of angels 😘....such pure joy to listen to on a terribly cold winterlike day....thank you so very much for sharing this treat❗🎼🎶🎶🎹😎🍁🍁🍁❤😘🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏
WOW! Just phenomenal voice. Who wouldn't be completely moved after listening to this magnificent street performance. Thanks Brendan for yet another wonderfully powerful post!! ❤️ 🎼🎵🎶🎹
She is amazing and the accompaniment too. Her voice is so pure and beautiful. I don't see how those people walking past, can just walk past without even seaming to listen.
I've been around for a long time and I've never heard a better or more beautiful rendition of this most beautiful song than Brendan and Jessica. BRAVO!!!
Hail Mary, full of grace, Mary, full of grace, Mary, full of grace, Hail, Hail, the Lord. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed, Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Thy womb, Jesus. Hail Mary!
I usually avoid anything religious like the plague but I had to hear this all the way through. She's as blessed with her voice as you are with the piano. It was a treat to listen to you both. ❤
Imo.....Unfortunately, They wouldn't appreciate this beautiful ANGELIC singing..💟 Tht's why I don't listen to "them" anymore due to tht... This [awesome] LADY is SPECTACULAR : ) 💕 I LOVE her singing - It's so BEAUTIFUL! 💜🌹💜
Absolutely beautiful. I can’t imagine coming upon this scene and not stopping to listen to this woman’s lovely voice and rendition of Ave Maria. What were the passersby thinking ( or not thinking) as they ignored this beautiful moment in time. 😮

Notice, she sang this cold. No warm up, no vocal stretches, cold. That is talent.

It’s a good way to strain one’s voice. I’m sure she went and had a hot drink soon afterwards.

There is a huge problem with mankind when only one person allowed themselves to stop and enjoy this beautiful moment in time. Wonderful performance!❤
They don't know what to do.
Most people are just walking empty shells. This looks like London, the notorious soul draining city where everyone is running in their hamster wheel afraid to stop even for a second.
I agree and Fortunately for those who stopped by on RUclips, over 7 million, they were treated to a beautiful performance. 😊
🙏💚🙏Wonderful 🙏💚🙏DANKE für die Er-innerung 🙏💚🙏
Stop making busy hard-working folks out to be monsters because they don't want to stand around on the street corner listening to somebody perform
how can you walk past that? the world needs to slow down and appreciate a beautiful voice...well done
Totally agree.
I have commented the same a few times on Brendan's videos. Have these people no soul?
I was thinking the same thing !!!!
I’d stop and listen and I am not a fan of this sort of thing. (Or opera of any kind). Just beautiful
I don’t know how they just pass by
The moment she started singing, it was like the stormy clouds parted and a column of sun rays came from above. Goosebumps.
It is the music of Angels .
So beautiful.
Well said!
What a gift. So many people didn't stop, they show the sign of the times. Empty and missing all the beauty around them. This girl is a treasure.
Yes I was very surprised the lack of an audiance.
sad very😢some people seem to be numb to the beauty of the arts and nature
The girl being a treasure HAS to be the UNDERSTATEMENT of the CENTURY!!! ❤

Come to think of it, the hilarious Idea might do great!
"Boogie-woogie fiasco"...brilliant!
With her slim build, I was not expecting the tone of her vocal: lovely: well done!
Loved it, love the girl, voice
Awesome 👏
How can anybody walk past without stopping 😢 Beautifully sung and played ❤
They are all listening to rubbish on their headphones.
My thoughts exactly!
Just heavenly.So many ignorant,soulless people in my opinion.😢❤
I'm baffled. How is everyone too busy to stop and listen to greatness?
I totally agree 💯
Saw one person stop…my goodness people…enjoy life for a second. Well done you two
I bet the acoustics are poor out there.
They had important things to do, like talk on their phones.

There's a massive hospital virtually next door to this building where he is playing. I think most people are either patients or work there.
Never judge. We do not know what commitments others may have.
This broken and sad world really needs to hear more beautiful music like that. It lifts up the very soul.

The voice of an Angel. She touched my soul. Beautiful!
More than Good Brendan She Sang that without Warming up! WOW..... Girl You Have an Amazing Talent! 🤩
I would love to hear more from this talented voice so pure in her intonation. i’ve been thru a very rough period lately losing my wife of many years having covid and then losing my dog. my sister has been diagnosed with cancer and my own health has gone down a lot. this is the first item in my morning and how beautiful the pianist and to then listen to this purity of voice what a beautiful start to my day. thank you and Iintend to listen to this many times. you both have brought peace to my world .
Bless you Ray!
i wish you well
I am sending good wishes your way!!
God Bless you, Ray.
Listen to music a beautiful balm for illness and worries.
Her beautiful voice is matched by her gentle, graceful demeanor. This made my day. Thank you for sharing Dr. K.
Agreed.
What is this talented singer's good name, please?
Wow, spine tingling... the lady's voice is beautiful. To be able to sing like that just off the cuff is a rare talent. Thank you.
Just off the cuff? Shes probably had thousands of hours of training and performed at numerous recitals.
pure talent. that is a lifetime of passion and commitment.
And her face radiated such calmness, contentedness, something my vocabulary is missing.
Beautiful singing & playing such talented, nice people & wonderful to watch & listen to
No warm-up. WOW!
Just beautiful - thank you so much for stopping to sing. Ngl, it brought a tear to my eye, what a fantastic performance from you both.
Yes, it was terrific!
What a lovely encounter ❤
She hit the first note and i was hooked. The young lady did not disappoint. Good luck to her
I'm not an opera fan but this would have stopped me dead in my tracks had I been there. Absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous, excellent latin and tuning, and she’s not full of herself.
This dear lady (Jessica Norton) sings this so wonderfully. What brilliance, to perform this cold, without vocally "warming up", and crucially in a manner without artifice or exaggeration, simply pure, and completely appropriate for this piece.
Perfect pitch, perfect timing, perfect voice! The whole package, and she just happens to wander by, like an angel from on high, and make his entire year. And she turns the pages as needed to continue singing and to help the good Dr. K continue trying to keep up with her.
This is one of history's most beautiful songs. Delivered like this, even better! Bravo!
Agree…👍❤️
Both are very talented. She just starts belting out notes perfectly!!!! Without warming up, they both just go to it!! That really is amazing.
Can we have an encore in the near future from you both Amazing 👏
Watching for the second time here after a day or so and it came to my mind that maybe she was already warmed up from some prior thing/practice. Doesn't diminish her greatness a drop tho
Oh my god, i had this in church for my daughters funeral 2 years ago, tears rolling, first time i have had the courage to listen to it, this is amazing, thank you so much xx
May God comfort you in your loss.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis. xx
Please find comfort and peace everyday in her beautiful memory.
♥️♥️♥️
I actually sit here and cried listening to her gorgeous voice sing this absolutely beautiful song, Ave Maria.
Instant tears!
She has the voice of an angel ❤❤🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼
A well trained human voice on top of her innate voice and skull shape. Very good, very pleasant to hear. No idea what an angel sounds like but unlikely to be defined by western European choral music and the buildings designed to handle it
A taste of heaven.
Beautifully sung - and without a warmup! I can't believe that people were just walking on by. I would have hit the brakes so fast I might have broken something, to listen to such wonderful music as that... Thank you both for the unexpected gift.
Gee, almost as if it wasn’t spontaneous after all?
absolutely, some people do see (or hear) what right under the noses?
I remember my mother singing this in the choir..... brings tears to my eyes... thanks for posting!!
Thank you for sharing, your piano skills with her stunning voice was amazing!!
Had I the chance opportunity to be passing by as this performance was happening, I'd have stopped dead in my tracks and listened, in reverence and gratitude. What a rare and beautiful moment...and to watch people just walking by as if these God-given gifts happen all of the time. Heartbreaking.
Bravo to the young lady with the voice of an angel, to our wonderful pianist, but mostly to God for giving us this gift.
Amazing! Thank you both for a beautiful display of talent 👏
Absolutely beautiful, people like this make the world a much better place. Thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪
Such a beautiful song and she sang it so well. It always sends shivers down my spine.
❤️
And tears of pure joy. I heart skipped a beat at the intro.
It’s a hymn not a song, it’s the Hail Mary
Wow, she was damned good! Just pulled off the street, no chance to warm up her voice and she starts belting out those beautiful soprano notes! As others have said in the comments, how can you not stop and listen to that and appreciate it? I'm looking at her thinking man, she'd normally be on a stage in a beautiful gown singing that. Beautifully done young lady, beautifully done.
Unfortunately to be on stage or record you need connections. Perhaps she is.
We, who follow Brendan, know that he can handle a piano but this girl's singing was also superb! Greetings from the countryside in SE Sweden BTW. Thank You both.
Brilliant! Beautifully sung..off the cuff..on the street, in the cold. Kudos!
How touching to the soul is God's gift of music - beautiful - thank you for sharing 💖
No matter what I was doing and where I was going, I would have had to have stopped. What is wrong with people???? That was absolutely beautiful and I find it sad that everyone was in such a rush that not one person stopped to listen and absorb a bit of beauty in these trying times. I loved it.
1:31 to 1:54 One man stopped briefly.
@@elsenored562 4:02 to 4:14 (heh heh)
The English are anti-Catholic.
Free. Spontaneous. When the universe presents you with such experiences, to not stop and appreciate them is like rejecting a sunset or ignoring a waterfall.
So very beautiful. I came back two weeks later and watched this again. Such beauty in an insane world.
I’m not a classical fan but I have to say, that was truly wonderful. I could not have walked past without stopping and listening to such a beautiful performance both from the singer and Doc K
Beautiful…having sung this in church choir, I’ve never heard it performed Moore wonderfully. Just think, walked up un rehearsed, outdoors in cool weather performing with a stranger. Absolutely incredible.
What a gift to be able to sing. The pleasure us non -singers get from listening to such a beautiful voice is immense.
I believe we can all be taught to be better singers.
@@robertewalt7789 Hahaha Robert, I love your optimism, if only it were true❤️
Two lovely human beings! And kudos to Franz Schubert
OMG, Brendan Kavanaugh.....what a beautiful surprise to hear the two of you ...her voice is of angels 😘....such pure joy to listen to on a terribly cold winterlike day....thank you so very much for sharing this treat❗🎼🎶🎶🎹😎🍁🍁🍁❤😘🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏
Beautiful girl, beautiful voice!
Your voice just soars like an Angel. I’ve listened 3 times in a row and you have truly turned my day around. Thank you both. 😊❤
I kept replaying this over & over, just do beautiful.
Absolutely heavenly
Thank you both for this. "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
WOW! Just phenomenal voice. Who wouldn't be completely moved after listening to this magnificent street performance. Thanks Brendan for yet another wonderfully powerful post!! ❤️ 🎼🎵🎶🎹
She is amazing and the accompaniment too. Her voice is so pure and beautiful.
I don't see how those people walking past, can just walk past without even seaming to listen.
I've been around for a long time and I've never heard a better or more beautiful rendition of this most beautiful song than Brendan and Jessica. BRAVO!!!
What an absolutely beautiful voice from that young lady, so very talented and so beautifully sung, she literally had me in tears. Bravo!
Beautiful voice! Thank you for putting a smile on my face. 😊
Didn't expect that, Guitar on her back threw me in a totally different direction. Beautiful lady, with a beautiful voice. More of her please.
Dr K thought he was harassing a busker and was surprised to find out it was a proper opera singer
I’m shocked no one stopped to listen!!!! Consider yourself with a standing ovation!
♥️
What a beautiful voice, so pure. I really hope this young lady gets the recognition she deserves ❤️
I have no idea what she said but the musical power brought tears. The total is greater than the sum of its parts. Thanks, you two!
Not sure if you don't know the song, but it's called "Ave Maria"
I agree mate it did the same to me ,the power of all sorts of music and songs can provoke all sorts of emotions in us humans
Hail Mary, full of grace,
Mary, full of grace,
Mary, full of grace,
Hail, Hail, the Lord.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed,
Blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Thy womb, Jesus.
Hail Mary!
@@C_Morla Loverly music great singing. thank you x😅
🎶 Schubert
Truly moving - such purity in her voice. What a gift
I usually avoid anything religious like the plague but I had to hear this all the way through. She's as blessed with her voice as you are with the piano. It was a treat to listen to you both. ❤
Yea Christianity is a plague/ You should stick to the Atheist Songbook or Mohammed's Hymns for the Chosen Race.
Beautifully sung and of course very well played by Dr K.
Wow !! Goosebumps - What a voice ! Beautiful, clear, soprano !
Goosebumbs!!! Welldone Brendan, you managed to let her shine by playing so delicately!!
Amazing beautiful voice I love this song
Voice of a Angel
Absolutely beautiful... I agree. Don't understand how anyone can just walk pass...
This is the kind of music that transcends. Nobody can listen to this and not be touched. Bravo!
That's the thing. They can. Alas.
And what’s next? Thanks
She deserves to be in the finals of Britain’s Got Talent!
Don’t wish to be contrary, but she is so much better than that IMHO.
Imo.....Unfortunately,
They wouldn't appreciate this beautiful ANGELIC singing..💟
Tht's why I don't listen to "them" anymore due to tht...
This [awesome] LADY is SPECTACULAR : ) 💕
I LOVE her singing -
It's so BEAUTIFUL! 💜🌹💜
The judges on BGT aren't fit to lick her shoes.
She deserves much better
Beautiful performance. She has a wonderful gift❤️🌹🌹
If I happened upon this moment I really don’t think I could keep walking by. ❤
Not possible.
Absolutely beautiful. I can’t imagine coming upon this scene and not stopping to listen to this woman’s lovely voice and rendition of Ave Maria. What were the passersby thinking ( or not thinking) as they ignored this beautiful moment in time. 😮
Oh I doubt they ignored it. Impossible! They were elevated in their heart or soul as they moved through the day.
@@rosevan7845well said. I hope that was true!
