Jai McDowall - Semi-Final - Britain's Got Talent 2011

Jai McDowall's Semi-Final performance on Britain's Got Talent 2011.

[@scratchstefke]

that last note goes straight to my heart... amazing voice!!

[@MsAbob33]

Still my favorite singing performance on Britain's Got Talent to this day.

[@animaREV]

same lol

[@QuasarPsychosis]

Ditto bud

[@Jack_The_Operator]

same here

[@charliereza5544]

Same, I watched it live and still come to find it every so often. Shame the BGT video has comments turned off!

[@MegaLJ3]

The guy is nothing but raw talent.

[@reyhanprasetya1963]

I like the way he is singing Bring Me To Life... So operatic... So classic... So anthemic...

[@EternalSilence4ever]

Agreed!

[@j700jam4]

I love the bridge in the middle with the key change when he goes oh, oh, woah …….. brilliant.

[@barnowl01292]

My village, grew up with his mum, a real gentleman

[@yalllalreadykmnowww]

Uhh can I just say DAYUMN the voice the body the face... You're like a true Disney prince!!!!

[@2000donutman]

The last note made me cry a lot. He totally deserved to win.

[@sharonb3871]

I felt William Wallace'd also! He has such passion. And, he moved me with every single note of his voice. I LOVE SCOTLAND!

[@MsSmudge14]

He's very handsome, a nice presence and has a beautiful accent, it seems to disappear when he sings.

[@Parryrider]

The best performance of this song I have ever heard. The best version, singer etc. It just gives me goosebumps every time I watch this. OMG what a singer and what a song.

[@TheHollowSpectre]

He has such a beautiful, haunting stage presence and a voice to match

[@Roland6596]

Pure crystallised voice

[@bettykelly8842]

I and definitely in love with Jai McDowell. Not only is his voice beautifu; but he is beautiful; I mean, he sings from his soul, and oh what a beautiful soul he has; it shines through in his sincerity, his humility and graciousness. He loves his country deeply; and he worked with people with disabilities. He makes me cry so much when I hear him sing "Are You There". I think of my beloved brother who passed away, and I am saying the words Jai is singing.

[@americanitalianisrael4753]

I will definitely by this guys CD.Beautiful,strong voice.and great to look at too.Fantastic.

[@sl33pw17h4ng3l5]

I got the most intense chills EVER!! listening to him as he hit the final "life"! Holy crap!

[@maricor1117]

your the man...what a powerful voice!!!

[@stormlecat6421]

My Scottish blood still tingles when I hear jai sing

[@olvjos6851]

I think I'm in love. LOL He can belt for sure! He sounds like a baritone.

[@ronnastefan543]

This guy is amazing.

[@vilmat.gonzalez2759]

WOW, i needed to remember him! I imagine him singing a great title to an awesome movie!!! Beautiful voice!!!

[@NatureSmitten]

Amazing voice and such a good seeming man. Love this singer.

[@rachaeljacobs6337]

I am definitely going to get this guy's CDs. He's truly talented!!!!

[@lasheefra2996]

He has a few already! :)

[@rachaeljacobs6337]

Thanks for the info!!

[@rachaeljacobs6337]

I think Simon was aware at how nervous Jai got before a performance. He did believe he'd win the competition, which did take place.

[@donotserorator]

He is a HUMAN BEING.. when you traverse this planet of ours it takes people like you/me to be grounded . You are a credit to Scotland.. and a pleasure to share these islands with you. With best wishes ......Chris...East Sussex..England...UK wity

[@survivrs]

I just don't get tired of hearing him sing this. I realize it's not the entire song but with the time restraints, etc. he is doing a tremendous job with his nerves. I love Ronan but I also love Jai and am hoping their music makes it to the states like Susan's did. I have all 3 of her CD's and would love to buy the CD's from these 2 performers as well!!!!

[@pottsville19431]

I've sent all his video performances to my Email, and listen to them a lot, he's a fantastic talent and has a bright future. I'd love to hear him sing some of the numbers in Phantom of the Opera. Have heard sound bits of his Debut CD, WOW, and look forward to hearing the entire CD soon. The public really picked the right winner.

[@joyaxcatley7414]

love him because you saw the sincerity of his passsion..he took and overcome his fears and nervousness just to perform well and passionately....God bless!

[@chrisbeyer3218]

especially the last final note bring me back to life !! wow wow what an powerful last note

[@yootoob4516]

He looks like a superhero when he's singing, he is so powerful and has an enormous presence. Simon Cowell saw huge dollar signs... just on reselling the panties that would be thrown on stage at Jai's concerts!

[@lg425]

the best until now. Love this song, his voice, his power and everything. thanks for uploading :x

[@raingabe]

[@flx2525]

[@vesanius1]

Darude - Sandstorm

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

Vesanius Fuck your Darude already, Darude there, Darude here...get something else to listen to already. Sheesh...like this is the only song you know...

[@reyhanprasetya1963]

BIOSHOCKFOXX Yeah, I also saw 'Darude-comments' in a video and I don't want to know what Darude likes. I am afraid it IS good and I fall in love with Darude's song. Lol.

[@TheFallenTower]

That was amazing!!! He has an amazing voice!

[@GaidinDaishan]

HOLY CRAP!!!! I'm actually scared........ this guy's voice brings the song to life........

[@chrisbeyer3218]

I loved that song it’s such an beautiful powerful breathtaking prayer song

[@lindalee7322]

I just realized Jai is as short as Dec. I love it that these shows are still available for us to watch again and again all these years later. I love rewatching my favorites. Funny thing is, I remember Jai's name, but not the boy's name who was second runner up. I don't see him listed in the recommendations either. Let's see... Steven Hall competed in 2011, too. Gotta watch him.

[@MrTomstaa88]

3:04 ... WOW

[@phantumgrey]

Holy crap I heard his first audition, but I was NOT ready for this. WOW.

[@nguyenhongoe]

Glad he won he deserves it.. Although i would prefer singers to go on xfactor... This was made to make room for people with other talents... But even so he is fantastic

[@BluebirdintheSky]

Singers in mainstream music should go on X Factor. He isn't in mainstream music.

Thank you for the information SpritmanProductions. Wasn't aware the reason would be because of the population status. Do know that Jai is going to have a great British career in the West End, and all over the world, as has Paul and Susan. Looking forward to his first CD for sure. Again thanks.
