His evolution in confidence since Britain’s got talent is just amazing and he deserves so much praise for his talent!

[annagardner]

He has gained so much confidence and has no pretence at all. He's amazing.

Jonathan you may already know this but if not you should. So many singers today use electronic gimmicks to enhance their sound and without them they often fall flat. Look at you in this setting...so simple..no gimmicks .. just a small room with average acoustics and limited equipment.. then you begin to sing and the small room becomes a stage.. an event! You fill the room with a sound that is nothing short of spectacular.
Yes, bravo Jonathan! And even with all this talent you maintain a kind soul as well.

You know true talent when one can transform their living room in an opera.

[pondgazer]

One minute he's joking about his shorts in the living room; a few minutes later I'm practically bawling my eyes out. Such depth of feeling. I believed every word he was singing. I love this young man. What a gift he is to all of us.

[michaelkoval]

This guy is seriously one of the best singers ever. He continues to get better and better. A true once in a lifetime voice.

The fact that you offer your content free during this lockdown and financial crisis says a lot about your soul, my friend. I watch this at least twice a day. You are a beautiful man, Jonathan.

[twisterjester]

It's a rare performer who sings without a lot of technical intervention and still blows me away. You, Mr. Antoine, are one of those performers.

[lillykalinka]

So nice Mr. Antoine. I saw you too the first time, when you were trembling so much and then blows the judges away with your voice. It was a great moment to see, as a star was born. Greetings from Germany.

[SMewett]

What confidence that takes, to just stand there and perform, without hiding behind a mic. 🙏

[hammerhead]

I love that this huge global talent has the same living room that any other 20-something nerdy dude would have. Jonathan is an inspiration. <3

I remember Simon's remark, and the girl in the audience also. "Just when you think, it can't get any worse"!, " This is a joke!" And then you and Charlotte opened your mouths and sang, and the whole world took notice, I could feel your voice resonate all the way up to the top Nose bleed seats in the balcony, and thousands of ears there, and millions of them on You Tube, were blessed with your voice. I am 77 yrs old been around long enough to remember Caruso, and all the great Tenors since. any you sir! are at the top of that category.The other thing I love about your singing. is the finesse and . delectably you sing modern pop, and Rock also. a rare thing for a tenor. many have tried but you my friend have succeeded. God Bless you! Thank you so much for the rare peace you give to us all.

Been following you since you were shaking nervous awaiting our judgement during the Got Talent show.. thank you AND your shorts 😁

[lisarg]

Amazing ! Your rendition is the best ! (We don’t care - shorts, tie dye, fancy duds- you, your character, your voice - that’s what we come to see!💖)

As my twin had died June 18, 2020 of ALS, I found your music most comforting. She was 56 and I listen in my grief that is the most devastating of my entire life. Walking on after sharing the very first breaths is not something I can describe. I find comfort in music but yours cuts quite deeply with this song. Thank you for the tender heart you that comes out with your voice carrying us all away....to places unknown peacefully. My tears fall at the beauty of your voice.

[lancelenoir]

I wonder if the 147, 394 views realize they just saw and listened to one of the best natural voices of all time. For free I might add.

[geoffreypickles]

What an amazing voice you have, wish you were our neighbour, we could listen you all day 👍

[electrofibars]

Born to sing.. new generation of tenor.

[DietrichLasa]

I am pleased that Jonathan's recording firm cooperates with him and his sharing through this channel. Recording contracts can be terribly limiting. Whoever can afford to buy his CDs and DVDs will be inspired to do so and those who can't will still be blessed by this voice and humanness that emanates from his presence. Somewhere, Jonathan mentions that we should treat everyone equally since all personal stories have the same value. I would say that his voice makes everyone transcend the story and that equality is right there, where the story becomes insignificant by being drowned in love beyond any storyline.

I’m so proud of you Jonathan! God continue to bless you! 💕🥰
