LIAM McNALLY STUNS THE AUDIENCE ON BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT SINGING DANNY BOY

• THE X FACTOR 2015 AUDI... a must watch!
14 year old Liam Mc Nally stuns the audience and judges singing a beautiful rendition of Danny Boy in the 6th week of auditions on Britain's Got talent 2010.

[@normalnani893]

his dad gave him such a beautiful stare full of love and proud. it's very touching

[@patrickfitzpatrick9046]

Thats the best part of the video

[@amun1040]

And when he didn't clap, it was like he was so proud and thought of his sons' achievement as his own. you won't clap for your self, will you?

Being a father, I recognized that look his father had... pure pride and love. Well done, boy.

That's what I thought, this is what angels sound like.

[@kimberlysmith6311]

When he hit the High notes....I got goose bumps!!

[@6BURG9]

Why are people saying that puberty will ruin him? Sure he won't be able to hit those crazy high notes, but his voice will become more rich and powerful. You also don't magically lose your sense of pitch during puberty... A singers ear is his greatest asset.

[@6BURG9]

+Connor McLeod I know the term, what of it

[@6BURG9]

***** What I'm saying is you don't lose your ear. Your sense of pitch, which is arguably the most important tool for a singer.

He may not have become a big star, but Liam has grown into a remarkable tenor and is living in and performing in Copenhagen (2022). He still has those 'enthusiastic' eyes and has a channel on KZbin. kzbin.info

Ah, time for my yearly appointment to weep uncontrollably at this.

[@deaconsmom2000]

Simon is a criminal because he predicted this young man's puberty? Boy sopranos have a shelf life since we no longer castrate them, as a rule. That doesn't mean Liam won't have an amazing voice as an adult. Although this is old, isn't it? I'm guessing his voice is finished changing by now. I'd love to hear him sing as an adult.

[@snookie1238]

My dad was a soprano then he hit puberty and was not a soprano anymore but he still has a amazing voice.

[@RoderBrent]

This kid makes me teary eyed everytime I listen him. Fantastic range and very emotional.

[@JSSTyger]

God dam he got up there. Well done. One of my favorite songs.

[@KareBear0117]

I never understood how someone could get chills and goosebumps from listening to someone sing...until now

[@PFarley731]

This is a pure talent. His voice will only mature and deepen but he'll stay a tenor, bank on it.

[@Shipwright1918]

That took some guts to do, so my hat's off to the lad for getting up there and singing an honest to God, from the heart rendition of Danny Boy. WOW! When Simon says yes, even with his little provisos, you know you did good, although he probably has a point, that voice won't last forever. That said, who knows, maybe he'll be a good tenor or baritone too.

[@sandysutherland2182]

I’ve looked up and down the internet and this is by far the most magnificent rendition of this song ever. Truly excellent. Bravo!

[@Wallendorf2005]

Shouldn't the audience be instructed to keep quiet during the performance and burst into applause and cheers afterwards?

[@thoughtblocked]

It makes singing much less tense and rigid when you know people are loving you.

[@gavinbeck2949]

macedir little late for a reply but although true this type of music should be taken in. A little early clap to assure the singer is nice but any singer with such talent can feel the emotion of the crowd. You can literally feel the crowd clapping without a sound being made and it is incredible. This moment here was just a bunch clowns clapping to high notes that they have been trained to do. His use of vibrato and full control of his voice at such a young age should be clapped for and not because he can hit high notes which is actually easier for him at that age. Yes a little confidence helps but this was just monkeys clapping for something that is truly special and should be taken in rather than yelled over

[@PasserbyP]

I think it's part of the show to get big cheers.

[@bh4508]

If he’s going to perform in front of an audience, he must be able to do it with distractions.

[@JayJacksonJr]

Liam sung this beautifully during his audition. Danny Boy has been one of my favorite Irish Ballad forever. My favorite rendition had been by the Celtic Woman; who I have loved since 2004 and still do. But I have a new favorite. If you like Danny Boy, Irish Ballads, Celtic Woman, and Liam, then this will warm your heart and bring tears to your eyes. Jackie Evancho: Danny Boy (with lyrics)

[@simgingergirl]

What Simon said was very true about his voice. It happened to my brother. He used to play Gavroche, but at about thirteen his voice started breaking. It took him a good year to grow into his baritone.

[@Debukochi]

There is a very good movie (free) on KZbin with Kathleen Bates and Dustin Hoffman that's about a boy going though that transition just as he starts to realize his remarkable talent. One of his instructors has a great quote about it. "That voice. That sound. It wasn't really yours to keep. You borrowed it ...and then it went somewhere else." kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3_KaGhmmpVsmpY

Just knowing how this song matters to the U.K., I can only imagine that this audience was wild and teary-eyed and lump-throated and limp as wet rags after his performance. An incredible moment.

[@isaaczerby2246]

if you sing routinely and train your voice you won't lose your higher notes, only gain lower ones. I am in the midst of puberty with a vocal range of A#2 - G#5 I doubt I'll lose those higher registers because at first I couldn't access them without training months and months and months on just edging my range higher. yes, it might get harder to hit those higher notes, but only if you leave them dormant.

[@sugarcookie572]

His voice is so beautiful it makes you cry.

[@clerkeobrien86]

I'm sorry you're embarrassed. You do wish to be taken seriously. Correct? As Metallica says nothing else matters!

[@avinray]

suzycreamcheesez It's funny you should say that Suzy, since your ID here is anything but serious. If you wish to be a self-appointed grammar Nazi, you may want to first check your own writing before criticising others. If YOU want to be taken seriously, I would suggest that you re-edit (since your post has already been edited once) it to read - You do wish to be taken seriously, correct? As Metallica sings, 'Nothing else matters!'. Go back to your cream and cheesez Suzy and wonder why you don't have any friends... By the way, English is not my native language and yet I use it more proficiently than you madam. Next time you have the urge to be a b**** in here, stop and think that maybe it's not the person's first language and that as long as the meaning is clear, it ought not to matter. It's not an English exam after all. But then again, if you were to think that way, what would a troll like you have left to do I wonder?

I can't stand how talent shows have made it to where everybody claps throughout the damn tune. So distracting and lessens the emotional impact IMO.The great moments of a song should sink into you and then at the end you give a hearty applause. It would be more magical that way, but it doesn't make for compelling television so they don't do it that way.

I actually agree with Simon, and it makes me kind of sad. This young man is a beautiful tenor, but since this was filmed, puberty has probably robbed him of that gift.

[@kristendunn3294]

He's more of a counter tenor, and puberty will deepen his voice but not take it away.

[@stephenscott3420]

Kristen Dunn Actually, this is soprano, not tenor.

[@extraintelligence]

***** It's possible to judge a voice while the singer is still young; the issue arises when that young person grows up and their voice changes.

[@eolsunder]

Yep but also sometimes their voice changes during puberty and doesn't affect their singing ability just their range. Plenty of good singers go through puberty and their voices don't change, or they change in their range but still have amazing voices.
