Mike and Ginger get their opera on with Caruso, performed by Jonathan Antoine.

[peterkinberger]

Jonathan owns this song with his voice and style !

[thejoshuatree]

From humble beginnings… Mr. Antoine truly has a world class voice.

[cynnsmith]

JOHNATHAN IS BRITISH AND BULLIED MERCILESSLY AT SCHOOL BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE, TAKING HIM TO THE DARKEST PLACES A SOUL SHOULD GO, BUT HE WAS GIFTED THE MOST AMAZING VOICE WHICH FORTUNATELY WE ARE ABLE TO ENJOY. HE HAS A LOVING AND SUPPORTIVE FAMILY, AT 17 SIMON COWELL COMPARED HIM TO A YOUNG PAVOROTTI, OUR GAIN, THANKS FOR SHOWCASING THIS TRUE STAR.

[adamknight]

Jonathan is without doubt the best Tenor of his generation

[priscillachapman]

I so appreciate that you didn’t continuely stop the performance to comment.

[trevorsandra]

Not an opera fanatic but Johnathan has the voice of an angel that i love listening too

[angelalonso]

This boy sings with his heart and soul. He will be the Pavarotti of the XXI century. God bless him.

[markrowland]

I tear every time I hear him sing opera. As an 17 yo, he sang on Britten's got talent. So nervous. He was overwhelmed as the audience rose to their feet as he began. I watch that twice a year.

[kathywulff]

I think that if you just came across one of his videos you would think that this is a young man with an outstanding voice, but if you first watch his BGT audition and see that scared, shy teenager shaking like a leaf on that stage, you just fall in love with him. The difference between him then and now just makes my heart happy and I wish him a long and successful life and career.

[moodaymoom]

This young man us incredible. He had been horrendously bullied at school and was a nervous wreck when he appeared on BGT at the age of 17 as a duo with Charlotte who gave him the courage and support to perform. They made 2 albums then split. He recently released his 4th album. He has come such a long long way and what a kind and compassionate sole he is. People travel from all over the world to attend one of his concerts.
He touches your very soul when he sings.

[vegaswillie]

What a journey from when he was so shy on BGT to now being one of the best singers on this planet.

[carljacobson]

Jonathan and Charlotte appeared on BGT 2012. A few months before, Jonathan had quit school, and was suicidal due to the daily bullying about his weight. When he stepped on stage, Simon said "Just when you think things couldn't get any worse" I hate to think we almost lost this beautiful voice and wonderful young man. We were very fortunate to attend these sold out concerts in Toronto. He stunned everyone by singing "Nessun Dorma" as his Encore. People were standing, crying, cheering and throwing roses on the stage as he sang! It was magical. He also sang "Compass" about those difficult years, there are family pictures in the background. Watching that video is what got me through 2020. it would be great if you did a reaction of that song. Also, "How Great Thou Art" from his live streamed Christmas concert, there's a hint of Elvis in his voice, and that last note is STUNNING!

[ReptilesGeniales]

He articulates very well as he is singing which makes the words stand out and it feels like he means what he sings he’s very talented for sure

[PatriciaBurton-pliv]

Once maybe twice in a lifetime do you hear a voice that fabulous.

[jansmith]

Jonathan has the voice that comes along once in a generation, His power, passion and performance is sublime and needs to to be experienced live at least once in everyone's lifetime although once is usually not enough .Fans travel the world to hear him perform and be immersed in his voice.He performs amazing classical arias, classic songs gentle lullabyes and even country style songs all different but brilliantly executed. His voice has the power to reach deep and touch the inner soul of the listener .Once you go to a Jonathan Antoine concert you are never the same

[rickysikes]

The most mellow and yet so strong a voice.

[janicegreen]

Jonathan is the best. I hope more people will be able to hear him and fall in love as I have.

[williamkilpatrick]

If that voice does not move you you are not human. Even not knowing what the song was about his voice made it impossible to switch off. You just had to listen to the end. STUNNING.

[peebeedee]

He's still so young, gathering the experience needed for operatic greatness if he so chooses. The snobs of the opera stage will demand that he takes that course before they will accept him as a new Pavarotti but he has the expressive theatrical delivery to wow the opera world, there to be knocked out of court.
For me this performance stands againt that of the great man, richer, more rounded and less metallic and he clearly works at his Italian enunciation. The world lies before him.

[peebeedee]

Ginger, your expression at 02:32 is wonderful, gets me like that too. I've watched all perfomances of Caruso that I can and no one catches that moment quite like Jonathon.
