Unlike most other tenors, who are, frankly, a bit too bombastic for my tastes, Jonathan's voice is warm and sensitive, and full of feeling; he has the uncanny ability to modulate his tone and delivery on a dime. I have heard some people say that Jonathan's voice is like a cross between this tenor and that tenor, but really, Jonathan's unique voice is in a class of its own.
Very well said..
Nai Man Somehow I have never thought Him as a tenor only. I think He has a baritone in Him as well!!!
Jacqueline Hall - What on earth are you talking about? I think this comment belongs to the previous video you had been watching on CZcams prior to viewing this one. Hopefully you will correct your mistake, lol 😝
Nailed it Nai!
I think of it as 'Warm' tenor.
Jonathan Antoine is by far, the greatest singer of all time. He has the most beautiful voice, he chooses the prettiest songs, and listening to Jonathan in interviews, he has a heart bigger than the sky. Jonathan Antoine is a phenomenal human being!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Thank you for being YOU - no gimmicks - no enhancements - just a down-to-earth REAL human with a wonderful talent. How lucky we are to have you. Keep well.
Warmest tenor!! Voice.....We need this in our society of trash...
TOTALLy AGREE RAE :)
Agree!
I agree ...this is a precious hearted Man...I love him!!! Hope he lives to be a 100 n God Blesses Him..
YES! I agree 100%!
How does a British opera singer get to sing American Oldies in a perfect way? Awesome! Fantastic! Fabulous! 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He makes this look easy!!!! I've been following him since his first time on BGT!!!!!! Look forward to seeing you sgain.
American Oldies _ _ ANY Oldies as good as this one transcend countries as well as time.
He’s a pop tenor, not an opera singer! He’s never sung an opera and that’s what opera singers do: sing opera in a theatre without a microphone. He has a great voice, but singing opera requires a completely different technique.
Agree absolutely sublime also he is so humble fantastic opera singer exquisite 👌
To be fair Porgy & Bess is right in the grey zone of opera vs. oldie
His confidence level has clearly improved greatly! Good for him!
I’ve just started listening to Jonathan and every song I’ve heard is perfection.
Fantoine 😊🌹
Likewise. I wish I had watched his evolution from BGT. Hopefully, other people who have God given talents will hear his story and realize how much they have to offer too.
@@roymerritt348 me too! I just recently started following on other platforms though and I am addicted! He not only has an amazing voice but an amazing personality. What a gift he is!
I'm 68 and I can say I've never heard a voice as good as johnothons ✌️
Jonothons
freddie korn as a Jonathan myself, this is the worst spelling of my name I’ve seen yet.
Agreed!❤️
I suggest you look up Giuseppe Giacomini. Comfortbaly superior to Jonathan.
And I'm 78 and can say the same thing, there's never been anyone like Jonathan, wonderful singer and wonderful human being.
Jonathan's vocal range is astounding...through tenor, alto and soprano, just magnificent.
I am 88yrs old and listened to a lot of tenors from around world ,but when you and challote appeared in bgt I heard a young man with a great voice, I now believe you have a voice equally as good as pavaroti maybe when it really matures ,I may not be around to see it but take good care of it

I know that my reply is late, but the ONLY other tenor that has touched me with his voice like Jonathan do is Jussi Björlings.
There is nothing this incredible young man can sing without touching your soul.
This young man is just what this crazy world needs right now. His voice lifts me up and gives me hope. I am in awe and so grateful for your talent and gifts. Thank you for allowing me to experience bliss!💗
May God continue to bless you always!!
My sentiments exactly.

god... the murderous imaginary friend of yours that watches children slowly die of diseases? the thing you believe killed the human population multiple times. wow
go see a thrapist come back and apologize I will even pay for your therapist
Heavens yes,, Jonathan we need more of your beautiful voice. You bring comfort amidst our chaos!
@@Xarai ?? at best
Who is still sitting watching Jonathan. My chores still pending. I'm mesmerized by his voice.such an humble singer with a beautiful voice
I am,! every day in fact, as I suspect thousands of others are too. He has single handedly kept me sane throughout this past year of lockdown. He is a wonderful young man & I love him & his spectacular voice. 🥰
I'm 2am saturday February 20/2021 he is great
Halleluuujah
He sang this excellently. His voice has depth and shimmer, and compliments very well the mystical, nocturnal mood of Gershwin's masterpiece. Jonathan deserves his accolades.
What a gorgeously written compliment!
Jonathan has an amazing color voice. Here you can feel love, joy and humility! I've never heard a better version!!! 👍❤️
From an old piano player, your voice is a God given gift and you use it marvelously. Thank you.
This guy has taken popular music to another level and. Such a nice genuine guy 👍👍👍
You get to hear a voice this perfect once in a lifetime.
I fell in love with this super talented young man at his audition in front of Simon Cowell. What a voice!!💕
I saw your journey across the stage, now I watch your journey across the world. Well done, young sir, well done. (Tips hat)
I've watched Jonathan since he first appeared on BGT. His voice has grown up and become an amazing thing to hear. I get goose bumps every time I hear him sing.
Jesus John. Have you ever become something. I saw this guy on AGT many years ago. Voice blew me away. His shy and humble charm hiding this incredible voice with a veil of insecurity due to the cruel nature of judgemental peers in youth. I watched his videos from that show then went about my life. Always remember him though. Then I stumble on this and see what he's become. Wow. He has the power and control of a great opera tenor yet he has the sensitive soul and timing of a blues/jazz singer. The way he has mastered the combination of soft and powerful vocal styles within the same piece is nothing short of moving. This video was like a walk in an opium field and now I'm going to slip down a rabbit hole of his music.
He sings so passionate he's amazing.
Everybody has heard Summertime sung by various singers and to me, it was just a song that I could take it or leave it. Jonathon ,s version is unique and stirring. I love it now, but only when he sings it. I just love his voice anyway.
How. Can anyone not believe erwhelmed by Jonathan's talent
I imagine this man suffered as he grew up....we all do......but when he found the stage , the lights, and even the cameras, he found his HOME !! He has a wonderful ease when he sings, and can well match up like no one else with Sam Jones, Bobby Hatfield, and of course, Pavorotti !!!
I am finding his voice comforting during this difficult time.
What an incredible performance and way to sing summertime. It doesn't feel like if you were just singing, I really enjoy when you sing because to me it's more like a story that you are telling with differents nuances as long as the song goes on. I'm amazed for such a beautiful way you sing a story in your songs.
Jonathan is as much an artist as Monet or Rembrandt. Only he paints his masterpieces with music instead of oils and watercolors. Listen to this song and you can feel the slow, sultry pace of the South during the summer of a gone by era. Amazing
Great description
Carolyn Roberson Oh, thank you! I appreciate your kind remark.
Nancy Milo-Grob , Monet, Rembrandt ? 🤣 😜
ursmue1937 LOL! Well, they ARE well known artists even if they are not-obviously-everybody’s favorites
Well said!
The sweetheart of this young man is revealed in the voice and hands.
I've always adored this song but never as much as i do following your performance. Your voice is amazing ....and just like that the wonderful, shy young man with a huge voice has become a confident man with a voice that is sublime....what a wonderful gift you are to the universe Jonathan. ..
Jonathan has a richness in his voice that Pavarotti never had!
Great Singer,
A Legend in the making.
I guess the bullies from his youth have reconsidered how they treated him.
I'm thrilled he is doing so well.
I could listen to this over and over.. his voice is unlike any others ~
So beautifully rendered by the most exquisite tenor of our generation. ❤
This song is about my life, being born and raised in the south as a true southern farmer’s daughter. I absolutely love this. Very beautifully done
He is just bloody fantastic,amazing voice, love him
I'm amazed how Jonathan can sing beautifully in any genre.
Jonathan is a walking talking Divine Inspiration of human possibility and joy! I am so grateful he is so available to the common man! He is one of the best opera style singers i have ever heard! I love his humility and his gratitude to be loved and appreciated by so many! Thank you God for the gift of this soul in our world!
I am always talking about how wonderful it is to see Jonathan so happy he is a ray of love And hope for our world in this critical time. He is radiant, he just glows as he sings.I just love him ❤️🌟😘❤️🙏🏼💐🌈
Indeed. All those who scorned him when he was in school, well... they are not laughing at him now!
I Love 💕 Johnathan Antoine I know he is the SWEETEST MOST ADORABLE TENOR MORE LOVEABLE THAN Any other. I Love his Beautiful Smile is. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🌈💥🌟💐with Love ❤️Beverley Poirier May God Bless You My Darling 🙏🏼💋
@Robert Caskie Have you watched his video of "Compass" from these same sold out concerts? It's beautiful and reflects on that time, it also has family pictures in the background. He has also co-authored a children's book called "Jonathan The Porcupine" available on Amazon. He does a reading of it here on CZcams. Enjoy.
His definitely a hall of famer
This is THE absolute best performance of this classic I've ever heard. Thank you, Jonathan.
Jonathan really captured the spirit of this song with his voice. That's really good.
"in summertime trains run every ten minutes" 3:16
I'm so happy that what I watched unfolding on Simon's stage has grown even as we watch. I had goosebumps then and i have them listening to you now.
Thank You!
You have a God-given talent Mr. Antoine. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. ❤️
no he has a talent that he worked on with time and dedication
@@Xarai who hurt you?!
@@mertishafj7259 so bc i realize your god.. Whom condones slavery rape murder women as property etc is imaginary that means someone hurt me.....
@@Xarai what proof do you have that says my God Condones these crimes that you say?!!! My God is an Awesome God and if you don't see that then I feel sorry for your ignorance! But remember God still loves you and you can go to him anytime, even after you said these hurtful things.
Summertime is poigant and painful. So perfectly performed.❤
I just love this song and his voice is perfect
I hope he stays just like he is forever
This boy feels the letter with his own heart. He is living the drama or the joy. An artist.
What a wonderful and talented young man.
This guy can sing anything. What a voice.
JONATHAN, MY DEAR BOY, YOU HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL TENOR VOICE! TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR VOICE!
Jonathan, you never cease to amaze me when you lend your hand to different genres of music. Thank You!!
Beautiful , just beautiful. From the soul...
Never heard it sung this way before. God bless you, and He has.\

He is in his own class. I love this beautiful voice!!!
I always enjoy Johnathen he is terrific 😍
Wow he is the best . He touched my heart and brougt tears to my eyes.
Simon Cowel knows how to pick a star. I Remember his UK Got Talent performance , and I thought a star was born . Thanks for posting this magnificent performance for us to enjoy .
I just cant get enough of this young mans voice.
This fine young man has sure matured and opened up since he was on Britians Got Talent!
Ueah, very shy and 'guided' by his schoolfriend! Thanks to her he is now here!
@@fransjebik8554 Thanks to HIM he is living a life blessed 😊🌹
He has certainly changed. Remember before he sang, and he hardly spoke. Then afterward he did start talking. Now he's wonderfully vocal. He has such a great voice.
@@calibean7736 Of course, I only do not want to forget his friend! 🌺
El es grandioso...
SO BEAUTIFUL......................BRAVO!!
Every time jonathon sings a song you really listen to the words ,sings every song with such meaning,just the best ever❤❤
Maravillosa! Jonathan really hit it out of the park with this one! What Jonathan is revealing to us is that he is a true artiste, a true interpretative genius who can adapt his voice to an incredibly wide array of musical styles and genres. Bravo!
Jonathan you have truly spread your wings... What a difference from that not-so-confident-waiting-to-fly kid standing before Simon.
If i live to be 100 i would never get tired of your amazing voice.
It's so soft, so beautiful. IT MAKES ME CRY. Here is a new Pavarotti for sure. Absolutely beautiful voice, no doubt. We love you from the USA.
My dad used to sing this to me when I was little. Given me goosebumps hearing this version
A lovely reminder of better days to come. Recorded by many, but none can compare to this. Loved.
Couldn't agree more. Such a wonderful rendition of the original. He has such a way of making great songs so much better!!!
What a beautiful and respectful rendition of the song.
I really get chills when I listen to you, your songs are a drug for me, I can't do without them, and you become an international star because it's from France that I listen to your songs, you will compete with Andrea Bocelli. This interpretation of this song in tenor voice fills me with happiness. Know that I take your example and that I created a youtube channel thanks to you !!! Thank you so much. Excuse me if there are any mistakes i'm french
I just went on his Instagram and heard him sing nessun dorma ,OMG !!!!
@@carolynneal102 Have you seen the rehearsal video, of Jonathan in the church with the orchestra singing Nessun Dorma, for his Sold out Toronto concerts? Just scroll down and you'll see it. On Twitter and Facebook too. He sang it for his Encore!!!
@@carljacobson8342 I think I've listened to virtually everything now ,I'm addicted ..Even his rehearsals draw me in ..I have to admit since being a small child listening to my father's 78's ,my operatic heart belonged too Mario lanza ,Even though he died before I was even born ,But for me Jonathan evokes that same love like no other opera singer I've heard since lanza
@@carolynneal102, When I was small I used to love listening to Mario Lanza, too. I vaguely remember the movie The Student Prince but my dad purchased the 33&1\3 vinyl record and we played it often. I loved listening to it over and over.
We all do !
Such a Gift for God
I knew from the first time l heard you that you were destined for fame. Thank you Jonathan for sharing your God given voice with the world and me 💕
So lucky to be born with a voice like thus. Omg beautiful.
Me too i am 74 his voice brings me to tears. Such beautiful voice.
I just love Jonathan Antoine so much, his voice, his personality, and his kind manner. He is a one in a hundred million.
Jonathan- can sing anything, suddenly make it my favourite genre- his amazing voice has introduced me to many music styles I would never have listened to before- our Jonathan is MAGIC 🙏👍❤️
O the emotion! Doesn't he bring joy to your soul and tears to your eyes? He is the best.
he makes the younger generation appreciated the real music, Thanks you for that
He is so wonderful. What a great talent.
you keep on amazing us Jonathan, brilliant.
Nice...as simple as that....the little baby is rocked by his warmest voice...
I feel blessed that I can go and see him live. I know he is a wonderful singer but when im no longer here his voice will have matured to such a level that will surpass any opera singer gone before him. So I will enjoy every opportunity to see him live .
I’m so happy for him. What an amazing voice!
I received my CD in the mail this past Friday. I'm so happy with the music. I can relate to Country Roads and Summer Time. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
I love how I can clearly understand each word he sings! Absolutely fantastic voice, too! It’s a true pleasure to listen to him! Beautiful! ❤
Thank You!
Your ability to turn a song into a strong, emotional, and an American songbook tune into your own, is what a true artist can achieve. Brilliant performance! All the best to you.
" … then you'll spread your wings & take to the sky..." & when YOU do Jonathan, you absolutely soar! Such #joy we #share every time you sing!
Jonathan,son you never cease to amaze me with your vocals and the passionate way you deliver in your performances!!!🎶🎙️🎶👍✝️🙏 Thank you
Simon Cowell was right. You have gone from an insecure boy to an amazing man! Rock on, my friend!
I watched Johnathan on ,PBS. Was very enjoyable. !!
Nai man, I would not consider him an opera singer, singing opera requires a perfect technique that he still doesnt
@@lilimiguelez4072 For pity's sake, woman, give him time to grow, will you?!?!
@@lilimiguelez4072 I agree. It is a pity he continues to sing popular songs instead of dedicating himself to opera.
@@lilimiguelez4072 actually he was taken to see an opera instructor (his name escapes me now) who has worked with some of the great Italian names and he said simply... I have nothing to teach this young man. And as far as pop singing... We all have to make a living and Opera - which he sings very, very well- demands a long time... He'll get there, don't worry.
Dear Johnathan, the love you express through your beautiful voice, touches our spirits to unspeakable places. So thrilled for your success. Don't change a thing about yourself, you are exactly who God created you to be. Thank you. ❤
I am so happy Charlotte looked after him when they were young. He has a beautiful voice, and so much talent to share. Sometimes we each need an angel to help us along in this life.
A stunningly impressive rendition of this classic song.
Outstanding
Oh WOW ... this interpretation is just how Gershwin would have wanted it sung .... BRILLIANT !!
What an absolute Boss. I used to have my 7th and 8th grade fine arts students listen to the first performance on Britain's Got Talent. They always got a kick out of the power and beauty of such talent. Cheers, from the States...
There’s something so soothing about watching Jonathan sing. ❤️
i bet this dude could do an epic bond song
So hauntingly beautiful!!! I keep pressing rewind. THANK YOU, Jonathan!
By the way, I'm writing this midway through the Covid-19 brouhaha, when the media wants people hyped. I played your Summertime and immediately felt so deeply soothed, warm, safe, and secure. I especially took to the line 'Nothing can harm you, with Daddy and Mommy standing by'. I'm elderly myself, but there's something in your delivery that surpasses reality. Your orchestral accompianists are PERFECT for you.
Veritasss, I’m 76 years old and have survived the Covid-19 myself. I spent 5 days in the hospital in quarantine. I almost died, but God spared me. He is such an amazing God. My prayers are with you, and I hope you get well soon. The beautiful music that Johnathan sings helped heal my sole also. May our Lord bless both you and this amazing young man.
@@rebeccaday2554 good you are better now....agree this man is amazing
Rebecca Day, Well Done You, I am a similar Age as you and in lock down, I hope the Non Believer’s in this virus head the people that survive it , like you and many more, Blessing’s to You and as you say this ‘Amazing’ Young Man ‘Genius’
Jonathan certainly has a knack at distracting us from the covid brouhaha and media fear mongering! Well done indeed, young man!
@@rebeccaday2554 qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
this kid's voice is amazing...truly a God's gift
I knew it would be BEAUTIFUL but this was actually also a very personal interpretation! A song that been sang SO many times, you’re young but you made it sound new and fresh again!
Buy the cd Going the Distance, The recorded version of this song is without compare.
mz pat in texas: Maybe download? I already downloaded stuff from him.
This is my favorite song I have sang since I was a little girl but oh how you sing this song is Awesome ‼️❤️
The whole arrangement, - and that orchestra? Just sublime.
Is there anything you can’t sing? Country roads, summertime, opera! A voice from heaven. Stay humble young man as you shoot to fame! Hoping you can find a humble young lady ( besides music, lol), to come into your life that has the same passion as you do. Beautiful sounds Jonathan! Love you! ♥️
This man takes me on a magical journey with his voice. I haven't heard tenor like this in a long, long time! Thank you!
Jonathan now has made SUMMERTIME, his song!
He now owns it!🤗
Im so jealous,, i have asthma and can barely make a sentence and not lose my breath. Jonathan it is alwas a pleasure to listen to you sing. ❤
