He does that like he has been performing on stage all his life. What a great guy. He's a firefighter. He's good looking. He reacted very well to the joke being played on him. AND he's a great singer. He seems to have it all. Good luck to you, Andy. His wife and his father are both in tears. How awesome is that. I sure hope he got a recording contract out of this performance.

I've been a performing musician for 70 yrs, I've also been a session man ,hundreds of times, theatres clubs radio Tv, cruises around the world-with major stars...and can honestly say I would choose his version , sung with genuine sincerity & honest emotion, and equally if not better than any I've heard. Well done Andy !! *****

If you have been performing for over 70 years It’s assumed that even if you started your career as a child of 10 you are now 80 years old. With all due respect, I’m guessing your hearing and vision aren’t what they once were. Having said that I respectfully disagree with your statement. It is false.

You obviously do not understand English, The word 'false' is not applicable in this context..I respectfully suggest that those who make errors in 'making assumptions' , should not then make a statement/s, based on their assumptions. Quite irrational.!!@@JustinTyme33

I was a prodigy, starting fiddle @ 5yrs old, (2nd WW was still going) & the falsity if it can be called that, I made a mistake, I have actually been playing for 80 years.

This heart wrenching song is from Les Miserables, the musical about the poverty and distress during "The French revolution". The character who sings this song, is a man, about to go out into the fighting & warfare in the streets, to save the young man who his adoptive ward daughter has formed an attachment with, and plan to marry, if the starvation and conflict, don't claim their young lives first. His ward lost her mother in illness and tragic life circumstances. Thank you fireman, you melted my heart, and I was crying tears of pain, for the sorrows suffered by those people, tears of joy for the love demonstrated by the brave man in the story, and tears of delight in your magnificent voice. Thank you Michael McIntyre Big Show, Michael and all the actors and crew, top show! I loved it. God bless you all brothers & sisters around the world.

So very beautiful. I was crying along with his family. So wonderful that you gave him this chance , Michael. He's such an amazing talented. He sings with such heart. Beautiful voice. Love his vibrato.

Wow! Wasn't that emotional to watch? 😬😭😭😭😭😭😭👏👏👏👏🤗

I wept in awe of your beautiful voice. I wept for the story that you told with that voice. I thank Michael McIntyre for giving you the opportunity to sing for us all. 💖💖💖

The sheer beauty and passion in this man’s voice...what a great rendition of a beautiful song that always reminds me of my father. Tears flowing freely here.

Absolutely blown to pieces by that voice! 🤯

The stage presence is outstanding! The entire performance is just spectacular. Seems like he's been singing all his life. A talent that's utterly stellar. No one can deny the fact that aside from serving the community, this man has a huge passion for singing. Wanna see him perform somewhere else as well. Sign him up!

In the words of his dad “blown away” ...What a stunning performance. Tears smiles and more tears watching him and his beautiful family. What a talented man.

Please tell me somebody important heard him and is going to give Andy a chance?

His grandfather must be so proud. The one and only Fireman Sam XD Thank you again for another great vid and take care of yourself please, Mate

Oh god I am so moved that was lovely when they showed his dad in tears by his sons performance I sobbed, how wonderful. Micheal Macintyre he makes you laugh he makes you cry.Thank you Brilliant !!!!

Am actually in tears Brilliantly done!!

Michael McIntyre is as funny as getting kung Flu!! This is literally the best thing he's EVER done.

This was so beautiful I was in tears. His voice was beyond sublime and the passion and emotion tore at my heart strings. He could easily perform in the West End and match every other performer there.

Truly an amazing voice! Michael, you are a gem! I love watching you!

It's a long time since I have been brought to tears by a voice - his is stunning !

OMG I have heard many singers in my 75 years of life but I never heard a better version of this song….Never ever 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

Fireman Andy Quinn is AMAZING!! Any song from Les Miserable is good, and when sung by someone filled with talent, it becomes phenomenal. Andy needs to try out for BGT or The Voice because he has talent that everyone should hear!!!

I hope to hear more amazing singing from Andy. A Star in the making. Loved it from South Africa

Michael made me smile and Andy’s voice gave me chills. Well done!

I'm ugly crying ... what a beautiful voice. Great sport, Andy, thank you for performing!!!!

I have never cried watching Michael McIntyre until tonight ❤️❣️

Thank you Michael. My brother Greg passed away four weeks, two days ago at only 65. This is comforting. He had great faith so I’m sure God would ‘bring him home, bring him joy, he is young’ ❤️

Well, sadly, I am just seeing this for the first time. My goodness what an amazing and beautiful voice this young man has. That is what is called pure and real talent. I hope this opportunity has opened doors for him!!! Absolutely loved this!!!

Speechless. My chills had chills. Beautiful, stellar voice. I hope he becomes big in the future. Congratulations and keep singing, Andy!!! :)

From a paramedic from across the Pond, thank you for your service, and BRAVO!! Well done! You melted my heart.

Wow!!!! What a great talent and a lovely man!

Oh my goodness...this is probably my favourite performance on this show so far. What a totally lovely young man and his beautiful young wife! I was overwhelmed by his performane... wishing this family God's richest blessing💥💪😇

I rarely cry, but I did when I heard and saw Andy sing. And the joy of his family really touched my heart. I hope his debut in this show will start a career for him! 🍀🎼🍀 ... P.S. And apparently it did kick off a career as I just learned from an earlier comment here. Well done, Andy! 🎼🎼🎼🍀

Hi Michael I just want to say wow it’s so amazing what you do for other people like that and big big fan me and my mum watch you all the time here in Aus and are both huge fans. Thanks a lot for the laughs.!!!!!

well then. i did not expect this from him. that was amazing.

Caught it on a repeat I WAS BLOWN AWAY what a talented man big respect for what he does as a fire man but dude you belong behind a microphone

Probably the best thing I've ever seen on KZread

This should have millions of views.

I didn't want the song to end,AMAZING

LOVE THIS MANS VOICE ,Australia loves this !!!!!

So amazing sending praise and love from NZ!!!!! OMG 😲

What a beautiful performance, I would like to hear so much more from this singer.

What a brilliant voice Andy has got hope he goes far

It's my favorite of all the Unexpected Stars I've seen. Bravo! And the choice of song-- superb!

Truly beautiful. What magnificent voice. Fantastic performance, Andy....😢😢😢

Cor! They're usually good but Andy's voice is outstanding. What a polished performance too, the guy's a natural. They seem like such a lovely family and watching his dad bursting with pride almost made me cry!

WOW! Outstanding! Brought tears to my eyes!

Beautiful I am in tears,what a voice .

Excellent Performance Mr Fireman

Marvellous. He is a singer since he was born. Amazing !

Love! Love! Love! Thank you for sharing your talent Andy, you are gifted with a beautiful strong voice with pure emotion on the rendition!!! For the duration of your song, you transported me to Broadway away from all the chaos looming in the world today. And great thanks to Michael for being such a wonderful human being! The whole production is so well done.! God bless you & all your staff. Best of luck, Andy. You’re blessed with a great gift and a warm family!🌺🌼🌸🌿🪴❤️🌴🌼🌱🪴😇👼❤️ (Edited for grammar ☺️)

When i watched his dad go,that got me more than i expected.Absolutely brilliant!

Well there's no smoke damage on those lungs! 😂👌💗👌

Just read Michael's book and he said at the end to watch this fireman. Absolutely brilliant voice and performance. Have we now lost him back to the fire service? The book was good too!

Glad to have you out of the secret singers closet Fire Fighter Andy!
