    My 95 yr old Mom has advanced Dementia. When she's having a difficult day, I change the subject to "Let me show you this brilliant young singer, I just heard about".
    And we play a Jonathan video then all is right with the world again.

      Jonathan has a healing voice. I've read many comments about how his music has helped people going through cancer treatments, even of giving his CD to their surgeon to play during surgery. Also, how his music has helped people after the loss of a loved one. You and your Mom are in my prayers.

      You may want to watch some video's from his Sold Out Toronto concerts filmed for American PBS. "Compass" is what got me through 2020. Also, "Country Roads" "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" "Parla Piu Piano-the Godfather Theme" "Summertime" "Moon River" "Baby Mine" "Caruso" and more. Also, "Amazing Grace" and "These Are The Special Times/Momenti Splendidi" both video's are Beautiful to watch and listen to. His Home Performance of "Nessun Dorma" is FANTASTIC! He makes it look so easy. Newest Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" per Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart.

    I'm so happy Jonathan, that you are performing this song, How great thou art, which has its origins in my country, Sweden. The text was written after a thunderstorm 1885 by Carl Boberg who found himself witnessing the irresistible power of God.
    In Sweden, the song is called "O store Gud". The music is a Swedish folk melody and the song is one of the world's most widespread spiritual songs. It was quickly translated via German and Russian into English with the title "How great thou art".
    The song played a prominent role during Revival preacher Billy Graham's meetings in the 1950s. Then Elvis Presley recorded it, and the rest is, as they say - history.
    Now you, Jonathan, are a part of this story. You perform the song with that honor and your interpretation is fabolous. It is not a coincidence that you have come this far, but a chosen path greater than both you and I can perceive.

      I'm glad someone understands the difference, sadly Jonathan seems destined to go down the Popera path like Alfie Boe and Russell Watson etc...when vocally he has the potential to be something so much more.
      He certainly has a profoundly beautiful and powerful voice but he wants the admiration of casual music fans instead of serious opera audiences and critiques alike, I sincerely hope he knuckles down now everyone in the Classical-Crossover sphere worships him and actually goes into Opera studies. He can never be considered a truly great Tenor until he has, even Mario Lanza had a brief stint on the operatic stages before he seeked the more glamorous propositions of Hollywood.

Singing "Ava Maria" in a church at 15, (his voice matured so much in one year) At age 20, two performances on the BBC TV show, Songs of Praise, "The Holy City" and "Panis Angelicus." He has also co-written a young children's book, "Jonathan The Porcupine" about bullying, he does a reading of it on here. Watch his song "Compass" dedicated to all the kids who don't fit in, from his sold out concerts in 2019 in Toronto.
