Never in a million years would I believe an opera singer could nail this song.
why is it so darn good though? also hello from the future lol
Jonathan could sing my grocery list and still move me to tears...
What a beautiful thought
O voce minunată, îmi place mult.
Bet he couldn't sing his own since it would be too long XD
@@neurflerat2693 uncalled for !!
His voice is amazing. It's like if you could hear Angel's sing that is what they would sound like.
Incredible how far this man has come. An absolute outstanding singer.
What always broke my heart is that this guy was obviously madly in love with the girl he starred with on America's got Talent but she was clearly not interested in him at all and just wanted to ride in on his coat tails for the fame.
Jonathan Antoine, in my humble opinion, one of the best singer in the world.
3 TIGER , JONATHAN , PAUL POTTS , AND FERNANDO VARELA
Quite possibly the best singer ever. I've listened to recordings of the best for the past 50 years. Very possible that Antoine is the very best ever. He's certainly the very best rags to riches story and the most humble, most caring, most human performer I've ever seen.
I agree 100% one of the best singers in the world
Agree.. one of my personal favorites...
@@le87 Better than Pavarotti? Save me the laugh
This mans voice is the sound of hope
And John Denver sheds a tear from heaven...
He would be so proud!
You said it brother. Oh my lord I also literally teared up.
Yes indeed.
There are no tears in heaven. Just pure joy!
@@ethereal1257 The best kind of tears are tears of pure joy.
John Denver would be ecstatic on hearing this young man and his arrangement of Country Road .
He takes me to another place where I find a peace I have never felt before.
I was just going to comment on this when I read yours. He is one of the very few artists that I don't just listen to their music I also feel the music
John Denver would be on his knees bowing, and saying your the man, your the man…
His voice is great, but using John's song for political angle?? John would 100% be against this video, literally the opposite of what he stood for. All these comments praising this video is absolutely shameful, and John would say the same exact thing. Time to wake up
@Mav I disagree. John would love it.
@@mav2553 What political angle is there? Johh Denver was progressive, and this video might include progressive themes, but in a very diluted. You are reaching to find political meaning in this.
Coming from a proud WV native, this version will be played at my funeral. Absolutely beautiful.
How is it that a lad from London can make an old American like me cry over a song about going home to West Virginia, when I've never even been there? That's really going the distance!
You are not alone. The tears are streaming here as well.
I guess they are also streaming strong up here in France, and they will everywhere where one listens with the heart, because this wonderful guy sings from there: from his big great heart, and that is what one receives!!! Bravo dear Jonathan, please keep it up!
Crying like a baby!
: It must be raining inside my house for I’m to old to be crying like a baby. 😭. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I agree totally
By far the most outstanding version of this song I have ever heard, John Denver had his own unique folkstyle delivery and was a master, But Jonathon Antonne 's classical version is like an Eagle majestically soaring over the mountains and the oceans shores. What a beautiful person and voice with a kind heart!!!
Well said!!!! Your description is as beautiful as his version of this song.
That's just what I was thinking. It's a pleasure to listen to this.
John would’ve agreed I’m sure!
An excellent, elegant and apt description, Mr. Dryden, very well spoken.
I agree 100%, so beautiful
The perfect voice, what a gifted man….I love he is now getting world wide attention.
Jonathan, love him, is the *only* singer I have ever heard in all my 79yrs, who can bring me to tears with that astounding voice of his, and I bless the day he had the guts to walk out on that stage in front of Simon Cowell and blew us all away.
Hello how are you doing
where are you from?
What a wonderful comment - thank you.
As a West Virginian, I can only say that was one of the most beautiful renditions I have ever heard.
I feel I have to visit that amazing place someday when all of this ends ♡♡♡ love from Cali, Colombia, South America :)
@@angeramirez25 Beautiful state to visit in the USA, TAKE it from someone who lives just up the road in Maryland.
His voice is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard. The strength of the notes, the power of him singing them, is incredible
Watch his and Charlotte's first audition on Americas got talent when Johnathon was only 17.
Many would say the greatest operatic voice ever.
As a native born Mountaineer, Country Roads has been a favorite since it was introduced. This is, by far, the best version. I invite Jonathan Antoine to explore the Mountain State for himself. He will soon discover the majesty of a mountain home, applies to "home", wherever that may be. That, of course, is the reason an anthem about a small, oft overlooked state is so universally accepted. It's all about home. Jonathan is an accomplished artist. I'm sure he would enjoy seeing West Virginia first hand.
Love this young man with the gift of a beautiful voice. He is also so sweet and humble. Hope his bullies are ashamed. Never heard this sung better!
I grew up on country music. Jonathan you nailed this song!
This man is from England and captures the beauty of America so sweetly in this song!
Love this young man with a wonderful voice. RIP John Denver.
February 2023-love you Jonathan Antoine❤️
Big love from Australia ❤️ 🇦🇺
I was a Denver fan, and this song always made me feel homesick for Nova Scotia/Cape Breton. We all have a place that we keep in our heart, no matter how far we go or for how long, it's the home of our hearts.
Please take a moment and think of the communities in Nova Scotia, who are having to go through so much horror on top of the current troubles.
Sandra Nelson 💐 Sorry for the sorrow you are facing. I wake up worrying about the people who can’t work and their babies and children. Take care prays and blessings from California. 🍀
Beautiful , between Jonathan and the tragedy in Nova Scotia there are tears , and I would like to comment on it but,,,,,,,, there are no words,,,,,,, just tears,,,,,, Canadians are strong , we will recover and move forward.
I’m a 33 year old man and just broke my heart watching this. Well done amazing singer
I am 70 years old and did exactly the same. That only happened to me once before with Pavarotti.
Watch Susan Boyles 1st audition on Americas got talent it will leave you speechless too.
カントリーロードを聴いて泣く日が来るとは思ってませんでした。彼の歌声は本当に素晴らしい。出会えた事に感謝です。
Jonathan, God has chosen to speak to us through your voice. There is nothing more beautiful.
Amen. 🙏🏻✝️
Well said. Well said.
I was born and still live in West Virginia. This song is sung all over the world. This is absolutely beautiful and makes me cry. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm plastering this on my Facebook timeline.
WONDERFUL! GOD BLESS AMERICA
I'm Swedish, never been to WV, this song is to me one of the most beautiful ones in the world(in languages I can understand of course).
I am from and still in WV as well! It is the one of the best ever recorded!!
I am amazed by him. This is a song that will be played a lot when it comes to spotify! So good to post the tictoc at the start and then he comes in and kills it. Outstanding voice! I love his vibrato too, creates real power to the song. Fabulous!
Another intresting fact is that I participated during World Scout Jamboree 2019 in West Virginia. This song was played even more than the song written for the Jamboree.
Just when you think he can't get any better....he does....powerful, moving, magnificent !! Thank you !
Wait till you hear him sing Nessun Dorma, it's stunning.
Can’t stop smiling at this glorious voice. It’s hard to believe this confident, extremely talented man is the same timid boy we first met on Britain’s Got Talent in 2012. The way he holds the stage with both his commanding presence and his wonderful voice is just breathtaking.
I so agree with your comment. Back then when he sang on BGT - the judges were very cynical and almost mocked him - he has shown them how great he is.
I hope that Johnathan still remembers how much support that Charlotte gave him in the early years, although they have now gone their own separate ways
@@MrMilky1988 I hope she remembers that without his Stunning voice she would not have a West End career and That He Took Her Along When Simon Wanted Him To Go Solo!
Yes. He was at his lowest point. I can't imagine him being that low. If Charlotte hadn't convinced him to get on that stage. The rest is history. They got him help..look at that shinning face.
I'm from a little town in N.C. When I hear this song, I think of my parents and the trips we took all the time.
My dad was born and raised in Salem, WV. My grandparents married and lived there and died there. I have family and relatives still living there and in West Union and Buchannon. Growing up, Daddy always took us there first. Growing up, it became home to me and in the early '90's... it became my home for 9 months. You can set my feet in the city, but the heart will always take you to where you truly belong. The mountains are my home... West Virginia is my home. Thank you, Jonathan.
Mine as well, those mountains are in my blood. I am proud to be Appalachian.
Jonathan, you've become one of my favorites, your voice never fails to thrill me.
I've been around the traps for many years now I am 73 next birthday, glad I am to have felt and enjoyed the thrill of you singing.
Happy birthday! What a beautiful way to celebrate than enjoying his music
@@rosamariagarcia5194 l
Me too. 73 love his singing.
GODBLESS US ALL!
Bom se
A once in a generation talent. Congratulations Jonathan. What a beautiful soul you are.
Jonathan Antoine is our gift from God ❤
All I know is that this version made me cry. That's heartfelt music. You're a gift Jonathan.
🙋🏻♀️Wooo this version made me cry, too! When I'm listening to this song I feel like I'm living in West Virginia, in the time of the old West, handling those horse-drawn carts! Yes it’s amazing!🤔
I was raised with the voice of caruso played constantly. That's how old I am. Johnathan is right up there with all the greats.
Born and raised in West Virginia this guy sings like he has seen the State . Wild Wonderful West Virginia🙏🙏🙏🙏
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains and absolutely love to listen to Jonathan’s version while driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s heaven on earth!
John Denver gave this one a standing ovation. Guaranteed. Wonderful job.
im a west virginian and nobody has sung this song like this man - absolutely magnificant
Fantastic, hope to have the chance to hear you in concert one day in future x
Pavarotti would greet you with open arms as he did with the great artists that sang with him.
Although I am from Texas, I can still relate to the beauty of the song, thank you Jonathan
Country Music by an Opera star. What a world!
I've watched Jonathan on youtube since Britain's Got Talent . He has a beautiful voice and an amazing gift. However, I really didn't think a young brit opera singer could do justice to an American country classic. I was so very wrong. Right in the feels. Well done Jonathan.
I lived most of my life in West Virginia, this got me teary eyed
I live in Serbia, but my eyes are also weeping. Respect.
I live korea
@@sasavucenic386 Serbia it's a beautiful country. I visited only Belgrade others cities but all are wonderful...!!!
Me imagino. La conozco por vídeos y fotografías. 😍
Majestic! I am a fellow West by God Virginian!
Never have I heard this song sang like this. Awesom! This man has such a gift and is one hell of a talent.
I'm a West Virginian & feel moved & so proud when I hear ANYONE singing this song. Jonathan's rendition was 4th of July fireworks spectacular.
Who threw a bucket of water in my face..... Jonathan....... Just Amazing..... Amen
Wow, Jonathan. I wasn't expecting you to sing this classic American folk song but you nailed it.
Knocked this one clear out of the park.
Not an old folk song. John Denver 1971. Just sayin'
Thank you Margaret. My thoughts as well. "Just sayin'" Love that line x
Good music done well has no boundaries....
From a west virginian ill tell ya, you dam right he did..
Beautifull ! He can sing any song and make it shine as long as it has actuall quality like this classic masterpiece has.
I wish you would come get me. A girl can hope. I hear your voice in the morning and it’s a bright new day! God bless you Jonathan!
I am a West Virginia gal. This song means so much to us. Thank you Jonathan for singing about us. Remember your first performance. Knew you were great.
Sweet boy, how I love & admire you! Thanks so much for your beautiful voice! John Denver was a different kind of vocalist, but I can guarantee you that he was proud of that performance.
💐🌸🌷🌼🌹
Wow. That is amazing. I’m a West Virginia fan. Thank. What a gift God has given you🙏👏❤️
As a musician, not a singer, I appreciate singers with great voices....He has one of the greatest voices ever...
Every now and then someone wakes up your soul and inspires you to enjoy every drop of this life we are given. Covid go away we have to much to live for
So why is it that people somehow dont enjoy the supreme talent of Jonathan yet dont have the guts to say what was wrong with all these flawless performances??????
It makes me wonder, is he or she tone deaf , jealous , or just spiteful.
Ignore them ! 🦜🌺
There are no words - so beautiful - reminds me of my mom.
I was in tears after hearing Jonathan Antoine sing!! He was heart stopping and magnificent. BRAVO!!!
Jonathan is the Pavarotti of today !! His voice will go down in history as one of the single greatest of our time.
I agree 👍
A talented young man. Wish him only the best for a brilliant future.
Brilliant, just brilliant. To combine country and opera, with a great twist of Corona... Jonathan you’re my first choice to listen to always. I would so much like to meet you in person. You have exactly the same vibes, as those who run in my family... we would have lots of fun and joy for sure. Love you, always have and always will. ☺️💪👍🤗😘💐
His voice just keeps getting better and better
The things that amaze me are that he seems to sing effortlessly (never forced) whoever arranges the songs he sings seems to have a terrific understanding of how powerful and pure his voice projects and wonderfully pure his tone and delivery are and how his sincerity and interpretation of the lyrics take a song to a level that is so rarely heard and the fact that he sings in any genre is such a treat.
And likely able to produce any style fabulously.
Beautifully put.
Such a joy. I have been a devoted fan since the first time I heard ad and watched him sing.
There is not a song this talented guy can't sing . Because he sings from his heart . God bless you Jonathan XOXO.
Words touch the heart, but music touches the soul. Our nation needs you right now, Jonathan. Your beautiful voice transcends us to another place. Words fail me, but your exceptional voice touches my soul.
This is absolutely beautiful .. we did a harbour cruise around the Famous Sydney Australia Harbour and this song came on with the DJ and everyone sang it , young and old ... was the loudest song sang that night on the cruise ... 👌👌👏👏💯
Please come to Australia Johnathan to perform ... we all love you and your style ... you could sing twinkle twinkle lil star ⭐️ and still make it the no. 1 hit .... One true humble , talented artist right here folks ... God Bless your ❤️Johnathan.. YOU inspire and give many people watching you much hope and joy around the World ... NEVER STOP SINGING AND PERFORMING.. YOU HAVE A GIFTED TALENT FROM GOD .. HE LOVES YOU😇💯👏
Life is old there, though younger than your soul, singing like a mountain, your voice is so serene.
This is literally MY HOME! Bluefield West Virginia...my heart is so full! He's got the voice of an angel....HEAVEN! 💙💛💙💛
*Are you out of your friggin mind! I didn't think anyone could improve on one of my all-time favorites from John Denver, Antoine, you crushed it! You took it up another notch, You blew my mind away, you have blown my hair back, WOW!!!* *I can safely say, that John Denver would have been proud of this version.*
He would..
I think John Denver would be very proud that a phenomenon like Jonathan sings his song!!! Oh my GOD!!
It was a very simple country music song with very low attraction, but Jonathan Antoine HAD MADE it a very special one.
God bless him & forgives John Denver his sins... John Denver R.I.P.
💐💐💐💐💐💐
I didn't think it possible to love that song more than I already did, but of course, Jonathon found a way. 😍 I bawled! LOVE LOVE LOVE from a Midwest girl! Thank you for this beautiful song!!!!
agree this is stunning I love love love it!
One of the best voices to come out of Britain’s Got Talent. Would love to see him live.
Diane Jonathan .If you live in America Jonathan has Numerous Concerts booked which have been put on hold till 2021. because of the Pandemic.If you go to his FB page all His Concert dates etc. Are all there.zalso if you Can purchase his recent Album "Going the Distance" it includes A CD,plus one of his U.S Concerts.It absolutely Amazing.You"ll love it.I have watched it many times and it's so Beautiful
Hope this helps.🎵🎻🎼🎶🙂
@@ivyyeo624 je ne dit rien
Hes absolutely brilliant watching live I was there watching this concert 😁 it was a pleasure to watch him and be there.
diane allen ..Go to a concert. There is nothing like it!
I can't wait to see him in concert!
I’m a huge John Denver fan. I think he would be happy and proud of Jonathan’s rendition. Beautiful!
We are so privileged to know and enjoy this young man's talent in our life-time. It is a rare thing to know such a talent - God given and exceptional in every way. Everything he sings is world class. Long may it continue! And yes his Italian is perfect - Bravo!
I have followed Jonathan ever since his (and Charlotte's) audition on BGT, and never in a million years did I think he would ever sing a classic American country song like this one. However, he not only sang it, he delivered an amazing performance with a fantastic arrangement in the process. Everyone has always said that "Jonathan has an opera voice," and that's true, but he has demonstrated that he can sing almost any song and make it great with that unbelievable voice of his. I'm so glad that he is finally getting the exposure and recognition he deserves, and I am definitely going to buy his new album.
Jonathan was once asked what he sings around the house, he answered "Kiss from a Rose" and "Country Roads". this was a few years ago. Have you heard him sing "Compass" filmed at these same sold out Toronto concerts, it's here on CZcams. We have his new CD "Going the Distance" it's Great. Wait till you here track 12. "Nessun Dorma" it's Stunning!!!
carl jacobson : I lost my breath, and my heart went wild it was astonishing,astounding, stunning hearing ......Jonathan Antoine sing the aria ‘ Nessun Dorma ‘.
In sweat pants lol I remember that audition. This is my favorite
Oh yes!
I also can't imagine Jonathan or people in Italy singing that song. I like the song however, the song died when John Denver was killed and I haven't heard it sung by anyone in 25yrs.
You are absolutely so worthy to sing this. Only you and John Denver
I would include Home Free's rendition on this list.
Absolutely
New Music Video, posted today. Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" It's BEAUTIFUL!
His operatic style put this into a new level. Fabulous. Always like this song. His version gives it the honor it deserves. Thumbs 👍
It's been a long time since the singer is is giving me Goosebumps this guy did
There are so many amazing voices in the world. Then there are those voices that can pierce through you like a bolt of lightning and light up your sense. Bringing tears to your eyes and a shiver through your body, with visible goosebumps. This gentlemen has it. Gracious, what a gift.
I agree .
And a good thing that CZcams can help with this .
Or you never ever will hear them.
Those people set love in it.
The love of music
I didn’t want the song to end. I could float on it.
Watch Jonathan's newer videos "How Great Thou Art" from his live streamed Christmas concert. There's a hint of Elvis in his voice singing this, and the last note is great. Also, "Amazing Grace" and "These Are The Special Times" The videos are STUNNING to watch as well as listen to! All songs are also on his newest CD "Christmasland." Enjoy.
I love how his voice gets better and better, he was just a puppy when he started and now he's a young man.
That song reminds me when I came home from the Navy. Great song.
There's only a handful of songs that have ever moved me to tears. THIS is definitely one! Jonathan, you are truly a gift! I remember when I was a young girl in the mid 70's as we visited Disney World. I sat on the ground in the front about 5 feet from John Denver as he sat on a stool singing Country Roads. I fell in love with that song that night. You brought a whole new love of that song! God bless you on your incredible journey!❤
I am so happy this young man can share his amazingly beautiful voice with the world! Keep singing Jonathon!
A young man who can make any song his own....shout out to the world, and get this song viral
He always brings me to tears. His voice can bring this world together.
Thank you Jonathan I’m a West Virginia girl that’s my favorite song and you made it beautiful!! this is my country home West Virginia
Ah Maestro such a moving but joyful video - As For THE VOICE - Well For Me THE ONLY VOICE and It Will Echo down the Generations I have No Doubt!! A Voice For All Emotions - Be It Happiness -Love- Loneliness or Sadness -The Most Healing Voice I Have Ever Heard! Bless!
Hello my name is Josh Mark how are you doing, i bring you good news
The day I don’t cry when I hear Jonathan sing is the day when they can close my casket. He touches my soul.
You nailed on behalf of myself and 1.8 million West Virginians let say bravo. We are loving people who do life slower in the mountains of Appalachia. I invite the world to come to West Virginia and learn to love your neighbor again. Have a pepperoni roll. God I love being a West Virginian. You did it right Jonathan. As someone who traveled in my teen and early adulation years playing hockey. I was always to come home to West Virginia. Great job
This is still my favorite version of Country Roads, an anthem to connection and making music together. And the video is simply stunning in exploring all that home means to us.
I was raised my whole life in West Virginia,,still live here in this beautiful state,,,Very nice singing!
Thank you sir. Our world needs this and your voice does it so beautiful. Thank you. I pray you and everyone stays healthy and happy during these hard times.
If Johnathan and Charlotte had not been on BGT, oh what the world would be missing. His voice is greatness personified. Have his albums and listen to them to lift my spirit. No one can touch this young man, he is sublime.
Jonathen, so beautifully sung.. thank you.❤
The whole world needed that thank you very much😢😢😢😢🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😴🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍 thank you thank you thank you Jonathan
Jonathan you are absolutely the the most amazing young man I’ve ever seen. I’ve been following you since Britain’s got talent when you made me cry. I love all your music and own it all. You are so real and down to earth, and so talented. I pray you keep your wonderful innocence and joy of singing for ever. You will go far, just remember to take care of yourself along the way. Much gratitude and love for all the joy you bring to this crazy world.
We the people of West Virginia love it...!!!
There is something so compelling about his voice,and also him as a person. He inspires love and compassion. What a guy!
You were blessed with a fantastic voice and a big heart. I loved this version of an American classic.
i'm italian. Antoine is the new young Pavarotti. His passion and his voice is very very emotional!
Takes decades to reach what pavarotti reached.
Have you heard him sing Caruso, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, Parla Piu Piano and more from these same sold out concerts last year in Toronto? Also his Nessun Dorma and Dein Ist Mein Ganzes Herz , (which he does sing in German) are stunning.
@@VanillaDin0saur He has a lot of time :)
Pavarotti WAS the standard, JOHNATHAN is worlds better , to simply put it.
@@722DL he just isnt; he's great but not on that level.
I am a native West Virginia I ❤️ this version I didn’t think anyone could ever do it proud but you did young man the only thing missing was a picture of the mountain state thank you so much for doing this song proud
He has such a wonderful voice. It's a joy listening to him.
