Jonathan as always is absolutely astonishing. But my GOD that Cellist was phenomenal, no wonder she works with Hans Zimmer

[terrietackett]

This lovely woman makes her cello cry....So fitting for this song.

I am a recent Jonathan Antoine Addict. One thing I’m noticing with him is that he doesn’t just sing a song, he fully lives it. Here he is completely and perfectly living a soldier with survivor guilt…as an old soldier it is heart wrenching to watch. What an amazing performance!!

[edemontfort]

He gets better and better. His stage presence has blossomed and that voice is simply awesome.

Probably thousands of tenors can sing the notes with perfect pitch. BUT -- only a handul can imbue this song with the pathos and sadness that the lyrics demand. Johnathan is at the top of that very short list.

You ever just listen to a person so perfect that also speaks your pain? This man is an angel.

[alberteats]

Prodigy of a lifetime. So glad he did not stop pursuing his singing career.

That is definitely world class cello playing, by far.. what a touch she has and her dynamics are just emotionally moving. Nothing needs to be said about Jonathon’s voice that hasn’t already been said from the second he auditioned for a Britain’s Got Talent. The man has a world class voice like none heard in a long time. He was just born to do this and we are just lucky to share in it.

As an Iranian when I was watching this performance months ago I could never imagine that what will happen to my country months later..I feel this song within my bones..my heart and thoughts are with all the young brave lives that we lost through this ongoing revolution

This song is either a massive favorite or a huge flop based on the emotion put behind it. Jonathan shows the pain behind this song and it's absolutely stunning. Personally, I don't know how anyone can perform this song as well as Jonathan did and not cry during the performance.

[bohogland]

I’m so happy that he made it to the big stages!

[eduardocalix]

Boy how I cried over this. Superb performance and the "phantom faces at the window..." part really gave it an entire new meaning to the empty chairs, Magnificent!

[charlescarver]

I’m 82 years old and I’m a fan of this young man.

Jonathan, thank you for sharing your amazing talent with all of us. I am currently in Afghanistan and you have no idea how helpful your songs are to me. Thank you again, I hope this comment finds you well!

This hit me hard. I sit at a kitchen table and bench that my maternal great grandfather made. It is 100 years old and my emotions run high how many people sat at this table? All gone I sit a lone.😮😢

[antonioj.olivaresalbaladej]

One of the best renditions I've ever heard. Jonathan is great but adding Tina is an incredible plus.

[valkyriesardo]

A key change while delivering a sustained note and with a transition as smooth as silk...boggling. And that cellist is exquisite.

[hazzachannel]

STILL THE MOST HAUNTING EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE. JONATHAN YOU MADE THIS YOUR OWN.

[braxtonfriday]

I've never cried at this song before, but holy crap this guy is amazing.

[blackace]

It's easy to see that Jonathan understands pain on a deep level. Anyone who has was put through some shit as a kid would recognize that from his appearance on AGT. The passion that understanding puts into his music is....indescribable. I could listen and watch this man sing all day on repeat and never be bored. Glad to see you are shining bright Jonathan. From one bullied kid to another, it fills my heart with such joy :)
