@@phlotographer Have you seen his intro for Amor Ti Vieta, also filmed at these sold out concerts for PBS? It was great.If you haven't heard him sing Compass or Country Roads at these concerts, they're all here on KZread. He sang Nessun Dorma for his encore! Stunning! On his new "Going The Distance"CD.

@@carljacobson8342 Carl -- I am working on various pieces now on YT as I have not seen the PBS concerts. I have learned that he was in Toronto but somehow I missed seeing anything about the concert or we certainly would have attended as we live in the GTA. I would love to hear him and Amira do Nessun Dorma as a duet. One thing I really love about YT is the number of great musicians etc that one can view and likely would never know about in the past without such a venue for showcasing their talents.

@@phlotographer People flew in from all over the world, U.K. Europe, Mexico, across Canada, U.S. and even Australia for these 2 concerts. We flew from Portland OR, worth every mile and every dollar. He sounds even better Live. He has concerts planned for late September thru October 2020, the last one is in Toronto! Unfortunately with the pandemic who knows. Check Jonathans website for 2020 concert details. Buffalo N.Y. PBS station used this concert for their pledge drive, as did many, and Jonathan appeared there in person to help raise money, you might want to check next pledge drive to see if it is scheduled again, "Going The Distance" concert.

Jonathan's self confidence and spokesmanship has blossomed from 2012 since Britain's Got Talent. Really inspirational.

I have listened to this song by him multiple times in the past 3 days. Makes me stop what I'm doing and just listen.

You are a truly brilliant performer with a voice that should be heard everywhere.....

The BEST version of this song I've seen on KZread. From the controlled and outstanding performance from Jonathan, to Tina's stunning playing, this beats the rest hands down. Bravo

Yes this is the very BEST rendition of this song from Les Miserables I have heard, I cannot wait to listen to it again and again. Thank you Jonathan you are amazing.

As good as this definitely is, it has to be Eddie Redmayne for me because you feel he has indeed just lost his friends.

@@suzanba7 stage and film are two very different things. I agree that Eddie Redmayne's version is amazing though. My statement was more aimed towards stage performances..

IDK, it ties with Ramin Karimloo and Eddie Redmayne for me.

While I am not a huge fan of opera, I've always enjoyed Luciano Pavarotti. So when he passed away I was sad because his unique voice was now gone (aside from recordings obviously). Then I saw Jonathan and Charlotte on BGT and was so blown away by how much his voice reminded me of Pavarotti. I enjoy listening to Jonathan sing and imo he fills the void that was left by Pavarotti's passing. This song just shows versitile Jonathan is. Keep on, keeping on good sir! Thank you for blessing everyone with your voice.

This young man is amazing. What a voice. And so shy and humble. He played at our concert hall where I had the pleasure of meeting him and his mum who travels with him. The cellist is outstanding in this

Jonathan your performance has me in tears. MY God man you are simply wonderful. Thank You

His beautiful voice, his confidence, the emotion this young lady puts into her playing cello. And the piano. Absolutely beautiful!

My heart aches as I listen to this version of the song, the brokenness they projected was overflowing and I couldn't help it. It was such a breath-taking performance.

Please buy his Album ‘ Going the Distance ‘.

Jonathan you are absolutely wonderful!!!! God bless you!!! This song was an incredible performance!!!! Best Ive ever heard it sung. !!!!BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is one of my favorites from Jonathan. So lovely.

From 1900 to 1999 we had Enrico Caruso, from 2000 to 2099 we have Jonathan. Bravo.

This is absolutely stunning. I remember seeing his Britain’s Got Talent audition and being blown away that he was so talented at just 17. It makes me so happy to see how much his confidence has grown and how strong his voice is

I have listened to the greatest Tenors Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo but none have brought me to tears of joy like Jonathan has, you truly are one of the greatest ever , Thank You.

Some are meant to kill in war, some are meant to build bridges, some are meant to fix ills. Then there's that beautiful music to heal a hurting world. I'm an industrial machine installer and this talent brings tears to my eyes. This is angelic

Anyone who can give Michael Ball's version a run for it's money, gets my vote. Bravo.

Absolutely, Jonathan is one of the only voices I've heard who is as good or maybe better for this song. His rendition of "Bring Him Home" gives Gary Morris' a run for it's money as well.

Jo Wolf there’s no way he’s better than Michael ball, Michael Ball is incredible. Here’s a video of Michael Ball, in case you needed a reminder: kzread.info/dash/bejne/goOq1dibk5Tfc5s.html. The emotion on flame is incredible, this one is too slow and high imo

A Stop Motion Channel It’s not better than Ball’s version by any means. Hell, I fully recognize that he is one of (if not the) best Marius. But this version is a lot better than many of the ones that non broadway singers have put out.

@Stop Motion Channel. It depends on how you look at it. Johnathan's version is a classical take on the song, Michael Ball's is an actors take, both brilliant, both filled with emotion and feeling.

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

Best opera voice I have heard in all my 61 years old.

I love how Jonathan's self-confidence has elevated so much from the time he first auditioned... such a vast improvement.. Am so glad he found his calling in life and in the process, found himself

And to think that Jonathan almost took his own life. And the world would have never had this. AMAZING!!

yes, his voice is so beautiful, emotional,touching, it really hits the heart, brings out so much emotional passion

I genuinely didn't know Tina Guo did these kinds of concerts. Only seen some of her personal covers/songs. This was a SUPER pleasant surprise. I found a new (to me) angelic voice and he brought out a cellist I've been listening to for several years randomly.

The cellist is absolutely brilliant. Jonathan your voice is so emotional so beautiful. Thank you both of you.

This song makes me think of all the friends I’ve lost to opiates. Rest In Peace Marc, Joe, Andre, Adam, John, Jon, Jonny and Alex. I fucking miss you guys more than you could know

One of the greatest gifts Britain gave the world - Jonathon Antoine : magnifico performance, a stage musical worthy of the greatest theater

I've been listening to different artist sing this song. Jonathan does it the best by far.

First time I've ever heard this song.......BRILLIANT!!!

I would be nervous just making a presentation when there are elders in the crowd. This Amazing Man graces the stage with great poise and charm to win over anybody.
