Jonathan Antoine - Solo Career Interview

Lorraine Kelly interviews Jonathan Antoine (Jonathan and Charlotte) at the start of his solo career.

[@calibean7736]

I was able to get tickets to his sold out concert in Toronto shortly before COVID hit. I remember him walking out on stage...just walking...and BOOM , Standing Ovation. He was incredible that night. That crowd adored him. Wow, what a show.

[@CARLWISE2008]

Jonathan congratulations on all your life and music. Thank you for being so special. Love you and your family.

[@johnmasse2265]

Nice, humble, and greatly talented young man. Very refreshing.

[@tracey9116]

It's rare to have such a rich, opera voice at such a young age. I am in love with Jonathan's tenor, and could listen for days. He's such a humble young man. Hope he continues on a great path, never giving in to the spoils of stardom.

[@mariazavala2904]

+ReliveTheDream you are such a disgusting human being how can you trash this young man like that. 😧😦

[@rayson700]

+Maria Zavala Hi Maria, Relive the dream. Anagram of The vile made 'err'

[@Bekah474747]

So, true. He also comes off as uber intellegent. I could see him doing a bit of journalism on serous news shows or lite comentary on an entertainment piece. I don't think he'd like to be a judge for American Idol or BGT, as he is too soft hearted for that den of lions.

[@crystalgarcia7393]

+ReliveTheDream you know its funny that you say that cuz there's a lot of girls who would especially me cuz looks doesn't matter I rather be with the ugliest person in the world who has the good is hard then being with someone who stuck up ignorant and care about nothing but themselves I rather be with a nice person instead

[@crystalgarcia7393]

I agree with you too I want him to keep singing cuz I love his voice

[@cruzcommercialrealestate7977]

My Lord this boy is Amazing. I am Crying. Can't stop crying. I love him. God Bless him.

[@MiN-ow9fr]

Don't mind me, I'm just doing my Jonathan Antoine marathon, at least twice a year or when I need to feel happy 😊

[@cynnsmith9434]

Me too, didn't know it was 10 years since BGT, what a stunning voice and a nice humble and caring person. One proud mum for sure, hope joy returns soon.

[@kimmallable]

Man, I really hope this guy's career lasts a really long time.... he seems like a pretty cool dude.

[@Lexusgx550]

Mike F wish him best !

[@bananna858]

He has a phenomenal voice and fabulous hair.

[@MM-Iconoclast]

A beautiful face as well: tinyurl.com/y945l8hn

[@pielcanela1081]

I agree 🥰

[@sarahpick5799]

How fortunate to be able to witness the discovery of this incredible talent. Man brings tears to my eyes. "People seem to like me". Get used to it. All the best to him and his future.

[@Glubber-1]

What has captured many of us to Jonathan, is his humbleness, and non egotistical nature. When you watch him sing, you can see the joy that he has in performing. We are blessed to be able to experience this.

[@shotgunaaron]

Just love this young man. His voice is beyond amazing. God bless him.

[@asulil180]

i really happy to see jonathan career goes well he deserves that he has an amazing voice i am a big fan

[@fredjohnson8937]

[@VelcroKittie]

Seems like such a cool guy, steeped in humility, letting his voice represent the beauty within him. I hope and pray that Jonathan's story serves as a true inspiration for young vocalists across all genres. You really can follow a dream in purity, resulting in the most wonderful manifestation of natural talent. It should never be about fame, but rather sharing a piece of one of the many beautiful things this life has to offer.

[@calibean7736]

Beautifully said. I am also a big fan. Can't wait until he comes to the U.S.

[@janeflesher8584]

What a lovely person he is l love him his voice. Moving and passionate x

[@fayemcp7589]

So nice to see Jonathan Antoine being interviewed on TV, he has an amazing voice & is also a very endearing personality! I feel very lucky that I will see him in Concert this week - at the Royal Albert Hall in the Classical Spectaculars - his is stunning live!

[@TheBlackRuffles]

I am so happy to see you Jonathan relaxed and happy guy!! Cheers to you and your talent! Hello to Charlotte as well!!

[@52lorenzo]

Whenever I hear your songs, I have tears in my eyes, tears of joy. It's like the story of the black goose. I would like to see and hear you live once. Good luck Jonathan.

[@allisongentle3123]

Great to see this wonderful young singer growing in confidence.

[@onefeather2]

Many Blessing for Jonathan and thanks to him for his voice/music he shares with all of us.

[@susandunn6907]

He is adorable !!! What a magnificent voice he was blessed with !!

[@dennisphelps7786]

I just saw Jonathans 2012 performance and he took my breath away. I adore Andrea Bocelli, he has a very smooth perfect pitch as he builds but Jonathan has distinct notes as he builds that give me what I call goose-pimples, chills...my mouth opens as if his sound is coming from my body. But its coming from his...his soul. Its as if the music he sings were created for him. May he sing forever more and bless all who have the ultimate pleasure of experiencing his craft. Kudos Jonathan.

[@MarkDaGardna]

I hope that Johnathon sings into his 80's and 90's...Such an incredible voice!!! Love you Johnathon!!!

[@Godsmasterpiece1993]

I have to see this talented man LIVE before I die! I really want to see him and hear his magnificent voice! A huge fan here!

[@AUNTYLEELEE100]

I love this young man. So talented!

[@tongcai6570]

He has gained such confidence! I see a very bright future for him yet :)

[@johnnie160]

Tong Cai can you see next weeks lottery numbers too?

[@ninjastorm540]

Damn im glad to see hes still doing great and he looks like he has way more confidence in himself and his talent which is awesome. He was the main stand out from Britain's got talent to me man. His voice is amazing, it not only made me like Opera or classical music more but personally i like his Version of "The Prayer" song way better than the original.

[@fayemcp7589]

Those who attended some summer events e.g. Llangollen Eisteddfod, Rochester & Lytham Proms will know that Jonathan continues to amaze us all! I was fortunate to witness his FAB concert at Gawsworth, where an International audience travelled to hear him LIVE; his guests were also enthralled! However, he remains a humble & dignified young man who also has a fun personality! His interaction/collaboration with other artists & his guests is testament to that; such a joy! There are other opportunities to hear him LIVE; a UK tour & scheduled events - details on his FB page & officialfantoines fan page.

[@celiabeverton4514]

He is such a lovely young man I’ll adopt him any day x

[@HazelJuanitaMillanHoffman]

He has such a truly amazing talent, and such a wonderful personality. I pray both kids soar in their careers. Perhaps in the future they will find other projects to work on together...Jonathon, when there is very little out there, that is when you pave the way creating more....good luck young man.

[@chrissielefranc1916]

Such a wonderful voice we don’t hear enough of him,

[@MrRacerfjappe]

Its impossible not to like him as a person. And the talent he posses is mindblowing!

[@kathleenbaylor651]

Dear Jonathan , I love how you sooo love your mom ! I have a daughter I adore and she hardly gives me the time of day. Your mom is very blessed to have you !!

[@kozy15x]

I hope Jonathan never stops. He's destined to be known as one of the all-time greats! Right there with Pavarotti and Caruso

[@fbellaann]

Many Blessings to Jonathan, and best wishes ! I love his voice and personality !

[@povertop6643]

Jonathan you seem like such a kind and gentle person. Very endearing..

[@pdn-vd5om]

Well done Jonathan, such a wonderful voice.

[@bunnythompson8587]

In my lifetime and still every single day I express gratitude for each and every single thing I am given. I give thanks for each gift, Jonathan Antoine is a treasured gift to us all with a voice that saw me in tears, shivers from head to toe when first discovered on American Idol singing. Jonathan deserves every succes and accalade to his credit. He will live on from such a young age to fill us with song, having been compared to Pavarottie his career has only just begun! To our sheer enjoyment!!!!

[@carolegriggs3107]

Jonathan, how much more confident you now are and very eloquent. Looking forward to hearing that you are singing at La Scala, Milan. Roll on the day...

[@carolbamforth7475]

Johnathan has come out of his shell in his music. What a voice

[@denisehall4818]

When this guy opens his mouth to sing it's a miracle.

[@djbenji2643]

I luv your comment.

[@lilygonzalesmercado464]

Jonathan es la ternura de un jovencito en el.corazón y la potencia de un hombre en la garganta!!!!!Jonathan is the tenderness in the heart of boy and the power and beauty of a man in the throat!!!!!

[@dorothybennington]

I'm glad Jonathan actually has a chance to speak now. I noticed that in interviews with he and Charlotte, Jonathan would start to speak but Charlotte would interrupt. He's finally getting his own voice and bringing songs that have been with him over the years . If I were in his shoes (and oozing with as much natural talent as he has), I would be pretty excited too. He's going to work with the best of the best and play the best pieces of music. I look forward to a long career for him. Can't wait to see him in concert one day here in France.

[@MultiLakewood]

+Dorothy Bennington Charlotte did have exhuberance when she spoke. That was part of her charm. In the documentary, it really upset me when Jonathan made fun of her for being nervous in front of Pavarotti's voice coach. Charlotte and Jonathan were good for one another. He admitted he was so shy he would have hid behind the sofa. So perhaps Charlotte was just trying to protect him. I wish they could do a song together someday but I doubt if he would want that to happen. He seems content with singing alone and she seems content singing with others.

[@MultiLakewood]

I agree. He sent me into outer space with his version of "Granada" at Gawsworth a few months ago. I was speaking about socially. It was nice to see him being a teenager for a little while, laughing, socializing and not being isolated. From a voice perspective, his voice is beyond beautiful in the classical setting.

[@marionblackburn5759]

+Nancy Fox It was great to see him being allowed to speak -as in most of the interviews I have watched recently he was talked over and here we see that he is an eloquent and interesting person to interview. Are you a big fan may I ask - as Gawsworth was only last month and not as you say "a few months ago " and to me a fan would still hold that memory dear in their hearts and have the date firmly fixed

[@MultiLakewood]

It was the appearance with the Tredegar Orpheus Choir. I thought he was at Gawsworth for that too. Sorry, if I had the wrong venue, perhaps it was Cardiff? I love Jonathan's voice but do not believe I have to remember every venue he has ever sung to be a fan. He is only 20 years old. They are getting difficult to remember because he keeps adding more and more. Since I am not from the UK, the names of the cities do not hold the same meaning, I am afraid. Although I saw on his FB site a huge group of Fantoines came from around the world to hear him sing which had to be incredible. I am looking forward to November when he appears at Gawsworth again for a solo performance. In regard to being talked over, I do believe a nervous 16 year old girl, not used to the camera may have a tendency to talk quickly, especially if she knew Jonathan was very shy and did not speak much to others. Teenagers are in a learning stage and I am glad Jonathan and Charlotte had time to learn new things about themselves when they were together, even if they were just classmates. For them to go onto bigger and better things is their destiny.

[@miacollection7592]

+Dorothy Bennington +Marion Blackburn your observations are insightful! Jonathan is not only gifted & talented, he is also intelligent, considerate & kind; a young man with great integrity. He is very capable & as we can see he is a delight to interview! Any reasons for saying anything else, are questionable & at the very least, could be seen as negative or mischief making. At worst, it may be more serious attempts to malign when using not so subtle innuendo. Why anyone would, is beyond comprehension! +Nancy Fox you doth protest too much; no fan of Jonathan would comment as you do.

[@m27d96]

He is just so lovely, and a phenomenal singer, love him! 😍😍

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

well done Jonathan ....keep it up

[@patriciabennett1819]

Jonathon deserves all the success as he is mega talented. One of the real operatic stars who shines and will be around for years to come. Making sensational songs special!!! Wow factor for certain. Thank you for video and blessings t and hugs. xoxo

Wow, what a change from the audition til now. His self-confidence has grown exponentially. Good for him!

[@showmoke]

Jonathan Antoine is unbelievable! And at 19, he still has quite a future- some standard vocal training to tweak it here and there- but overall, he's got an amazing gift!

[@dorothylawrence762]

Omg was so suprised. This nothing but awelsome. May The Lord bless and keep you

[@shelleyannette]

Please don't forget Charlotte. You are an awesome talent.

I'm so happy for him, he genuinely deserves this, hurts my heart that him and Charlotte went their own ways but i wish them both the best in life

[@alaitain]

He's the new Tenors ! Amazing ! Keep positive thoughts, and Clear mind. Health life.. You have such a great future ahead !

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

Jonathan sings with less effort than even pavarotti himself, and he has a deeper cleaner voice tone. He is gifted, you can't get that good with practice.

[@stanislavnecas7055]

For me Enrico Caruso

[@mirnamarkovic7681]

You have no clue what you are talking about. Please keep your unprofessional opinion for yourself.

[@SR-jx8yu]

Pavarotti was a trained professional. He was grounded in a solid technique with impeccable breath control and projection. There is no comparison between Jonathan and Pavarotti. Now Jonathan has a powerful voice with a beautiful timbre but he needs to nurture it and receive proper professional training. I hope he looks after his voice and doesn't damage it by singing arias his voice is not ready for. He needs to get a solid understanding of breath control, projection and needs lots of study. He also needs to loose some weight for his own health, but a bit of bulk also help support the sound he makes! I'm overweight too so want people who are overweight to look after themselves! I really like him and am so happy he has found his confidence in such a wonderful art. I just want him to look after his instrument and have professional voice training... which I am sure he must have.

[@marvinsilverman4394]

antoigne have voice for pop songs!, but for opera hmmm...

[@timnylund2116]

@@SR-jx8yu Nailed it. Judging by what he said on his first audition, he has had professional instruction. As for the main comment by Khotta, if you don't know what you're talking about, please don't try to speak on the subject. That kind of talk can be very discouraging to beginning vocalists, and it's dead wrong. You absolutely can get that good with practice, and that is most certainly what Jonathan has done. There are people that carry a natural talent to sing, but those are very few and far between. Most professional vocalists have trained for years, and put in many hours of hard work, as with any other type of musician. Please, research before you speak.

[@josmith1618]

Luv you Jonathan! Great voice!

[@djbenji2643]

This young man has grown so much in the last two and a half years, it is astonishing. He outgrew his need for Charlotte, though she helped him a lot. I hope she is still doing well.

[@inessaamosova4428]

Jonathan was just 17 when he came to BHT, not 19 how you just said.On June 6 & 8, 2019 there were his first concerts in Toronto, Canada.I was present on one of them. He was amazing. I met him after concert.And it become the event of my life.

So great person. He gained some confidence, yet he stayed very clean inside. Not everyone can survive such success without becoming asshole, he seem to be in love with music so much it might never happen to him and that would be great. I wish him only success and good.

[@milagrosfonseca7407]

I wonder if Jonathan ever wished to sing with Pavarotti. I love them both!

[@carljacobson8342]

Jonathan has said he would have loved the chance to sing with Pavarotti. When he was 17 he was sent to Pavarotti's singing coach for a Master Class and was told there was nothing to help him with. At 19, Placido Domingo invited Jonathan to be his special guest for the last night of the itunes Festival, broadcast world wide. Newest Music Video, Jonathan singing "Io Si/Seen" per Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart.

[@angelalonso473]

Este joven será el Pavarotti del siglo XXI. Excelente voz y técnica.

[@maryannwilliams8506]

JONATHAN, THE QUALITY & TEMBER OF YOUR VOICE IS FAR SUPERIOR TO PAVAROTI!!! WHEN YOU RELAX AND/OR ARE HAVING FUN YOU SING SO EFFORTLESSLY THAT IT IS A JOY TO HEAR AND A PLEASURE TO WATCH!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VOICE WITH THE WORLD!!!
