I couldn't carry on watching, because you were too annoying.

[@Maerahn]

I think you're actually the first reactor I've seen to have picked up on how Charlotte was feeling during this audition; all the others focus completely on Jonathon, and are oblivious to the effects of the passive shade thrown at her, and how stoic she is about holding it together in spite of that. You earned my deepest respect for that.

[@christiestephen1312]

I have purchased every album he has put out, he is one of the best male singers I’ve ever heard

[@karen141257]

jonathan is a legend

[@nobodyshome]

6 albums later and trained by Pavoratti's vocal coach... Jonathan has not done too bad...

[@Gifted1k]

not too bad at all :)

[@Rosiepooh75]

He keeps improving!

[@carljacobson8342]

New Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" per Grammy Award winning composer Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart!

[@elizabitty213]

Wow I had no idea so glad! 😃

[@DX88]

And he tossed Charlotte to the gutter

[@Sonja14athome]

I have watched this clip literally 100s of times and Jonathan's voice here still brings me to tears every time. I love watching first time reactions to his performance! Check out any of his subsequent performances here on YT over the past 10 yrs. You will not be disappointed!

[@joannahuskey6425]

Ten years later I'm still moved to tears when I watch this video. They've grown as performers in their own way.

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

Ten years later, I am still his devoted fan :)

[@sempaijiraya561]

Dude that was an amazing performance!

[@Gifted1k]

Yes ot was!!

My goosebumps get so crazy listening to this young man it feels almost like they would never go away He’s incredible 😍🙏🏻😃

[@sissyfour]

I got to see Jonathan live June of last year in Toronto, he is so talented

[@Gifted1k]

nice!! yeah he has an amazing voice!!😃

[@caylapelkey3305]

Hands down top 3 auditions....like EVER!!! Chills, tears & shrills! Just beautiful!

[@Gifted1k]

i must agree with you there!!

[@lisyhope]

They both have a great voice and a beautiful heart. Good luck to them.

[@Gifted1k]

Yes that is true :)

[@Jobladesuck]

His version of unchained melody is one of my favourite ever renditions of the song and worth checking out. I read he has a net worth now of 8million dollars. I love the power of friendship. She stood by him and he stands by her. So cute 🥰

[@sylviamcauley8454]

Listen to him sing Empty Chairs at Empty Tables it is incredible

[@gloriannburick1837]

I listened to 4 different men sing that song and Jonathan put the most feelings into it.

[@Sonja14athome]

The first time I heard Empty Chairs at Empty Tables was Jonathan singing it here on YT. The song itself blew me away. Its relevance to issues around the world today-unmistakable, and sad considering it is about events from 1815 to 1832. Jonathan's performance of it - Heartrending.

[@carljacobson8342]

New Music Video, Jonathan Antoine singing "lo Si/Seen" He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart.

[@helloghfgh4482]

you gotta see their other performances!

[@Gifted1k]

i will check them out!!

[@msdarby515]

This is my very most favorite BGT moment ever! I was showing it to people years ago and watching them react to it........haha...now I'm watching people on KZbin. Unfortunately not too many have found it. I saw a video they did later......I don't know if it was their next BGT appearance.....but Charlotte knew she'd come in to high in the first part and it didn't sound the best. She's very good, but Jonathan is truly world-class. I always wondered if he had a bit of a crush and if he'd had more confidence if more would have happened between the two....but they were very young, also.

[@williamronneywilliams2639]

Jonathan has developed into a world class singer touring world wide, worth reacting to how far he has come.

[@sachathedragon5766]

They both have such BEAUTIFUL voices..

[@funnyguy6044]

this guy was so good!

[@Gifted1k]

yes he was!

[@nobodyshome]

6 albums later he still is not too bad lol

[@thegroovetube3247]

Her mic was way down compared to his for some reason. See their later performances - she really holds her own. Incredible for a 16 and 17 year old.

[@Gifted1k]

i did noticed that!! i shall do that!!

[@millacolic]

I comeback to listen to this performance over and over again and it always sounds as if I hear it for the first time . Just breathtaking❤️🍀👍🙏👏😻

[@forgiven36511]

Be honest... They are incredible period....

[@mzpatintexas8329]

Actually Neil Murray. .......Charlottes mike wasn’t turned down Jonathan voice booms, at that age he didn’t perform with a mike so he drowned her out. They did turn her mike up to match Jonathan range. In this performance Charlotte was in the incorrect octave.

[@deanb61]

@@mzpatintexas8329 I went to see Jonathan perform live a couple of years ago. He held the microphone so far away from him that I'm pretty sure I was mostly just hearing his voice un-amplified. He has a phenomenal voice. But having said that, Charlotte is also pretty good, just not quite in the world beating class of Jonathan. She's more of a musical theatre singer, but still a pretty good one.

[@geraldinegallegosrealme7155]

I love your reaction. Time has proven that Jonathan was the selfless person in that friendship. ..❤️

[@sachathedragon5766]

Let's be real though, that was a fucking Golden Buzzer performance

[@NC-Mama-Bear]

There was no golden buzzer at that time.

They made several records together and in this competion they ended as number two. A trained dog was number one - England loves dogs !

Yes same bro

[@patriciasaudargas8679]

Charlotte was Jonathan's protector but in the end he became her protector. I kinda got the feeling he was in love with her but for her it was always a friend zone which actually works best if you are going to work together

[@sharona5646]

I think their singing teacher really set Charlotte up here! He/she knew Jonathan wouldn’t go on his own! Charlotte was sacrificed!

[@kristinezachrich8584]

watch the semi-finals. Simon eats his words

[@Kristen242008]

My personal opinion, I do kinda agree with Simon. Don't get me wrong, Charlotte is great. This was not the song that really showcased her voice, I love the second song they sing on the show together. That really showed off her talent a lot better. There just isn't that many songs that they can do together. They could definitely go a lot farther as 2 solo artists, rather than a duo.

[@demonliquidator]

Simon is brutal... but he's also a businessman.

[@Gifted1k]

true

[@phillipsmith5405]

Jonathan is great has some great covers I like when he sings the lion king song can u feel the love tonight

@@Gifted1k What her goal was before BGT. Performing musicals on stage.

[@workingtowardit9298]

Say what you will about Simon, he is brutally honest. Charlotte is a good performer but honestly Jonathan is on another level. If you check his newer videos, you'll notice a phenomenal improvement from 2012. As he matures he just keeps getting better.

[@onehandcowboy]

After BGT Simon even helped them into the world of music, Some like a mentor 😎

[@Sonja14athome]

@Wendy Green In all honesty, Simon was just being honest - harsh, but honest and, quite frankly, and unfortunately, that harshness is what performers in acting, dance and music, both vocal and instrumental, are subject to. In fact all the arts carry the same harshness from executives and critics. They are merciless. To them it's business and they don't find it necessary to be concerned about the artists' self esteem. If you are going for a career in the arts, you'd be well advised to develop a thick skin because you're definitely going to need it.

[@bethporter470]

Simon gave them a contract they made several albums then later gave both a separate contracts he did wonderful she didn't do much. She went back to school.

[@Gifted1k]

oh i see, thank you for that

[@hazelanglin5907]

Simon doesn't think before he speaks

[@valkyriesardo278]

I used to think Simon could be too unkind, but later decided false hope is far more cruel. Simon knows his stuff and he calls them as he sees them. Who could listen to that audition and not be aware that a voice like Jonathan's comes along once in a generation and only if we're lucky? The duet would have to end eventually or Jonathan would never acheive his destiny. However, nothing needs to end the friendship.

[@christywright3430]

It's so funny to watch the dollar signs flash in Simon's eyes right after he just got thru rollin them 🤣🤣

[@Gifted1k]

LMAO!!

[@cactusjuice8277]

When simon told jonathan to dump her and you said "we're scrapping" 🤣🤣🤣 that shit was hilarious.

[@Gifted1k]

lmao

[@abbymorel4925]

They did not too badly on bgt (Simon even apologised. Really!) After coming in 2nd on final, they recorded 3 or 4 albums together. Then, they mutually decided to split. He has gone on to have a maturing voice, that he can control outrageously. He has several other videos here on YT. Maybe check them out.

[@Gifted1k]

we shall do that Abby! thank you so much :)

[@mzpatintexas8329]

Abby ,.... Simon did apologize to Charlotte. Jonathan and Charlotte recorded 2 albums Together’ and Perhaps Love’.

Plus he released two albums in 2020 ‘ Going the Distance’ recorded in 2019 and ‘ChristmasLand’ recorded and released the same year.

@@Gifted1k I think you're right, when Simon said "I'm worried you might hold him back" she nods her head and you can see that she knows that already, she knew as well as anyone that she was singing with the next Pavarotti. She knew she would hold him back one day but she also knew she had to get him to that point. The selfish thing to do would have been to try and ride his coattails.

[@RRR-is3rf]

They lost to a dog WTH !

[@Gifted1k]

thats nuts 😳

[@jl6332]

Mmm I guess she was the sacrifice their music teacher decided to make to help the boy. The song choice was picked cause it fit perfectly for him and the mistakes she did made it a little bit worse for her. I dont think Simon was being rude either by telling him to dump her, he just wanted to direct him to the best path. In the end Im glad to see they're both doing well.

[@emilyminer3530]

No she wasn't the sacrifice. It was her plan. In school she was doing her music lesson and could hear Jonathan singing in the next room and she had to find out who that voice belonged to. Then their teacher had them sing "The Prayer" at her wedding so they had already sung it together. Charlotte was the one to fill out the BGT application but didn't tell Jonathan until last minute because he was still in a dark place and they didn't know how he would react. Charlotte said BGT had always been her dream but was Jonathan's nightmare. It's a blessing he agreed to do it.
