most of the people watching this performance has NO idea what the history and story is behind that song. It's a song of trial and tribulations and struggles with being black and southern. it has deep roots in black southern history. love it and love him.

It has deep roots in black southern history? "Ol' Man River" is a show tune from the 1927 musical Show Boat with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, who wrote the song in 1925.

I wanted him to win so badly... His voice is just... Butter...

This is the kind of voice you’re just never prepared for. It just blows you away and you need to hear it again, immendiatelly, to make sure that the experience was actually real. His voice just powers off that stage and takes your whole body for a wild ride. Just a world class voice that come around so rarely. Just stunning! Absolutely amazing power, intonation and control! That's a monster of a voice there!

Strong Broadway voice, definitely a voice for the stage....

This man has a voice that imbodies the south and all of the soul and spirt it has to offer. i can just not get 'enuff of his singing.

Wow.Saw this when it aired. Still like to view once in a while.Still wipe tears.

I also saw this when it aired... Never get tired of watching it.... amazing voice... that song might be over 100 years old... but it was made for him to sing!!!

A Big WWWWOOOOOWWWWW from the UK what a line "I'm tired of living, but scared of dying"

He even looks like Robeson. Living embodiment of him indeed.

He looks like a sweet and cheerful man to meet in real life. He brought tears to my eyes.

There was a lot of people that I wanted to win, but at least their talent has been shared all over the place.Some day we will see them again. For now, WAY TO GO LAWRENCE BEAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

His voice gives me chills

William Warfield would be SO proud of him and his performance

class beyond belief.

what a gentleman and what a talent!!!!!!

one of the best EVER!!!!

to get a standing ovation from piers Morgan is rare indeed, a star was born

I love him. I really wanted him to win that year.

So I saw the title and thought it would be good, but gee whiz. That was world class.

he brought it into the next generation.

This voice shall always be a winner in my book, sing on young man!

Outrageously fabulous voice!! Don't hear such beautiful deep bass voices very often. And to have that range!! Wow!! Somebody needs to snatch this guy up and promote him!!!!

Such a great bass voice!!!

Paul Robeson and William Warfield would be smiling hugely if they could hear him.

What a lovely voice! Id truly love to hear him sing "It is well with my soul".

This man needs to be on Broadway!

+Lawrence Beamen If AGT had the Golden Buzzer at that time, and I were on the panel, I would've hit it when the other judges had me give my comments to the contestant. He touched my heart when he hit the last note.

Simply awesomely wonderful!

My favorite ever from this show.

He should have won with that instrument he has. Incredible vocals and skill!

Lawrence is in a class all by himself, a completely different league then the other contestants. Most all of the other contestants have talent, but it’s very raw and kind of s diamond in the rough. Mr. Beamon on the other hand, has a totally polished voice, ready to step into any studio on the world and work with any of the greatest producers. He needs no further preparation, that voice is like gold and silver and much of the time platinum, which is where his records would find themselves, platinum! Voices like his do not come around too often, which is why I wished they had promote him more. Why not he is a superstar in the making, like Barry White or Lou Rawls, he has that level of vocals starting now and he is still young and could become a much better singer with more training, but his voice is ready for recording right now

This guy needs more credit for this! Holy crap!

Yes he does. I can’t believe people watching some Lady GaGa video for the ten billionth time, not adventurous enough to get out of their bubble see what’s a actually available . I do think they’d find it worth it, especially when everyone was one their feet, but there are many people who just think, Hmn. Nothing new here. They’ll all grow up eventually and realized all they have misses while watching that same Justin Bebier video for the one millionth time. What a waste of a life that can be

Good God man! How many people on this planet could do that???

The best song I've ever heard! Thank so much for singing this!

GREAT VOICE!!! GREAT PERFORMANCE!!! STUNNING!!! :)

Amazing voice... me myself, I have a very deep voice like him, and I know how hard it is to find the right song to sing. He is an inspiration to me as a wanna-be singer on my end. Great performance.

I LOVE this man! Such a beautiful voice and spirit.

Hey I just heard about this! It's at Allen Temple, 8501 International Blvd in Oakland Friday Feb 22 2013. Show starts at seven.

I can't believe it took me this long to notice they use the applause sound to mask cuts. Every skip ahead in the music the crowd conveniently covers a bit of the music. Oh great voice by the way.

Oh my fucking god!!!!

no words
