I feel that at this age he is better than Pavarotti was at this young age! I believe that Jonathan in years to come will be considered even better than Pavarotti.

So confident & still so humble in 2024. He will be only 30 years old next year & will always be my favorite singer. I have been following him for 12 years now & still happily counting!

There is no way of telling how many countless lives you have touched, especially in these times, and the seeds of hope you have sown in hearts desperate for this type of encouragement and inspiration. Thank you for all that you have given us. May our Lord richly bless you in every way, and keep you and your loved ones in His tender care.

Also, "Country Roads" "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" "Parla Piu Piano-the Godfather Theme" "Summertime" "Moon River" "Baby Mine" "Caruso" and more. Also, "Amazing Grace" and "These Are The Special Times/Momenti Splendidi" both video's are Beautiful to watch and listen to. His Home Performance of "Nessun Dorma" is FANTASTIC! He makes it look so easy. Newest Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" per Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart.

      I'm glad someone understands the difference, sadly Jonathan seems destined to go down the Popera path like Alfie Boe and Russell Watson etc...when vocally he has the potential to be something so much more.
      He certainly has a profoundly beautiful and powerful voice but he wants the admiration of casual music fans instead of serious opera audiences and critiques alike, I sincerely hope he knuckles down now everyone in the Classical-Crossover sphere worships him and actually goes into Opera studies. He can never be considered a truly great Tenor until he has, even Mario Lanza had a brief stint on the operatic stages before he seeked the more glamorous propositions of Hollywood.

  • @axelvalter

    I'm so happy Jonathan, that you are performing this song, How great thou art, which has its origins in my country, Sweden. The text was written after a thunderstorm 1885 by Carl Boberg who found himself witnessing the irresistible power of God.
    In Sweden, the song is called "O store Gud". The music is a Swedish folk melody and the song is one of the world's most widespread spiritual songs. It was quickly translated via German and Russian into English with the title "How great thou art".
    The song played a prominent role during Revival preacher Billy Graham's meetings in the 1950s. Then Elvis Presley recorded it, and the rest is, as they say - history.
    Now you, Jonathan, are a part of this story. You perform the song with that honor and your interpretation is fabolous. It is not a coincidence that you have come this far, but a chosen path greater than both you and I can perceive.
