The outdoor venue doesn't do the soloists justice. The combined voices still have as much power and beauty as ever. Love Collabro.

[@ms.rlsteele351]

Tom has a rich tone and is always perfect. He is ready for greater things

[@castilda311]

As always,Tom is dazzling!

[@christinedennison7770]

Yes, he really has such a lovely tone and range x

[@BLykke-tm6qd]

They have Great voices All, and sound really good together 😊

[@timweiyinn5051]

Always love Collabro 😻😻

[@susanmunch6622]

I listen to them every day and they are awesome.

[@juliaglass475]

there certainly are a lot of negative comment's here . It make's me sad to read them. I love these guy's . and will try not to let these comment's get to me. If you don't like them just scroll thru. Richard left because he wanted to follow a different path. Matt put on a few pound's but is by no mean's . overweight or "fat" . They are still the handsome. wholesome fellow's I fell in love with 4 years ago. Please Don't Rain on my Parade.

[@annmarietromblee3413]

Sound is muted in this venue? They are working so hard too in order to please their fan base. Where are the sound engineers? Can hardly hear them. They are singing beautifully but it's not staged properly. They must have sound people who listen to them to be sure all systems are working correctly. They test all sound systems, mics, etc and the men sing and rehearse before the show, to iron out and correct any kinks. The damn ads have a better sound. Get new sound technicians who can remedy stage problems in an outdoor venue. Outdoors is the hardest place to sing, with faulty equipment and four + people. Guys are judged by the SOUND. They are terrific talents. I've been in theater arts for more than I want to admit. The 60's-70,80's 90's years! I want them to succeed. Get professional sound people in there. Bet their sales records reflect the weak sound. They are terrific talents. When Streisand did her Central Park Concert, she was nearly ruined, as the sound was off and people standing outside the park. Over 70,000 people attended in person! Thank God she had the talent,and voice and it was corrected. That's when the candles went on. From then on, she staged EVERY ONE of her performances. It was her way and it paid off obviously. The boys need to see to this themselves, as you can't always rely on the Gophers! Many talents the boys will be working with will tell COLLABRO what to watch out for. God Bless them.

[@mariaelenaagcaoili4131]

I love all of them...with or without Richard! They are still very good singers, 4some is even better...❤❤❤

[@ms.rlsteele351]

Tom's voice incredible.

I love every song....your voices are beautiful..

[@valeriehogg3796]

Amazing voices !!!!!!!!

[@TabrisFruLar]

I still miss when they were five. But they are more than awesome all the time. I remember seeing the original 5 on the stage of BGT. Yeah. I was there. And I cried. Their version of Stars will always be my favourite rendition by collabro.

[@adabenitez4868]

Tabris Fru Lar what happen with the other one?

[@TabrisFruLar]

Ada Benitez unfortunately I have no idea sorry.

[@rosiereedy5497]

Blonde was mean to him....so he left.

[@courtenaysmith5206]

Rosie Reedy Oh. So Richard’s endless drinking binges and rants had nothing to do with it? You really think Richard was innocent here? You have no idea.

[@brookiesykes5216]

Rosie Reedy that's wrong

[@loveyourneighbor9354]

Always great and love their voices. Love Collabro! ♥️

[@christinedennison7770]

Poor Matt, yes, be has put on a bit of weight but we don't know why and he still sings beautifully, remarks can hurt and it's hard losing weight.

[@hollycook6011]

Christine Dennison Couldn't have said it better myself. I've been scrolling through the comments and so many of them make remarks about Matt's changed physique (which I think is still amazing) and it makes me feel sad that people are starting to judge his abilities based upon looks. Sorry to sound like a snob but as a heavy person myself I know that remarks can hurt x

[@christinedennison7770]

@@hollycook6011 yes, I have struggled with my weight for years.I'm not that large but do know how hard it can be to keep trim. I have never been a huge eater but put weight on easily some people don't understand this can be the case.

[@hollycook6011]

Christine Dennison I know how you feel. I was always a big child and I am 14 now so I have been working hard throughout the past year to lose weight and get the body I want; I started rowing and I have worked hard at my football. So far I have lost 5kg and I am hoping for my mum to pay for a year on the Centr app (by Chris Hemsworth) as a Christmas present so that I can lose another 10kg by 2021.

[@christinedennison7770]

[@Sophiewophie45]

They sang Jekyll and Hyde 💗

[@suef6551]

I think they look tired but are doing an excellent job. Richard had a good voice but I did not feel he was one of them and I think they have come together and are regrouping and that their voice has been beautifully. As far as Matt putting on some weight he will get it off when the stress lets up. Good job and I appreciate y'all continuing on after Richard left, that said a lot to me about you all. Hang in there and no that I so enjoy listening to you. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@Lynneheal]

Kool.

[@delwilkinson470]

Sad to hear they have lost that incredible blend and intonation. They are still great!

[@cindelma5289]

It was not a perfect performance, but to be fair, they had no earpieces and the caustic was shitty. For them it must have been like singing with your head under water. You don't hear the music, you don't hear the others and you don't hear yourself. And for this, I think, it was quite OK.

[@ilurvsharrypotter]

Dang I am here for jazzy "Don't Rain"

[@barbaramacmillian1658]

Please come to Adelaide South Australia

[@johnbarham8774]

will do, as long as you keep them there!

[@pattyarditi]

Amazing!!! When you come to Israel????

[@MsGrandunion]

Fantastic performance as always, but I have to say y'all look very tired!

[@1685mymusic]

Very very interesting. The texture needs the fifth voice. It is ‘normal’ four part harmony without the extra depth. They do have great voices but they should have remained a quintet - whether with the original guy or a new guy. The occasional intonation lapses should be sorted by now. But it’s a great concept - should be more successful than it is. Some cleverer programming would help. And now listening the fifth voice to les mis is really missing. But lovely guys they deserve everything they gain. Xxx

[@christinemaddy6164]

Collarbro, please keep well being all of u! Putting on weight and fat or growing thin is not good news.. Concerned because when one person become happiness, and get more prosperous and forget diet! Keeping good Health is wealth, remembered this! Love u guys so take care of what u eat keep fit well! God Bless🙏💕

[@hollycook6011]

christine maddy Are you really that shallow? Do you think all singers have to look perfect? He is one of the best singers I have ever heard and he is happy. That is all that matters to me and if you don't like his new look then why do you continue to watch their performances? If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything

[@libbyc4322]

Who is who? I’m a new fan and I don’t know their names🤗

[@hollycook6011]

libby lesley Firstly, welcome to the Collaborator community!!! From left to right it is Michael Auger, Matt Pagen, Jamie Lambert and then Thomas (Tom) Redgrave 🕺❤️🕺❤️🕺❤️🕺❤️

How come there is only 4 members now....what have i missed

[@hollycook6011]

Deborah Green Richard left to explore a solo career x

[@TabrisFruLar]

Ps. I’m SOOOOO sick of “let it go”. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@M.T.44]

I miss the fifth one.

[@gwenstead3241]

I don't you can hear all the other amazing voices . For goodness sake he left over 2 years .Theyve had a top ten album without him and another one out on 31/8

[@chucklewis6838]

Richard took away more than he brought to the Game. It is too bad. The guys actually do better presentations without him.

[@amaranicole9416]

the fact that you cant even remember his name and call him "The fifth one" kinda says it all darling

[@susanmunch6622]

The guys seem happier now. Just my opinion

[@charlesdell2864]

Which one is gone

[@Matsuna13]

Richard

[@DavidMiller.93]

Richard Hadfield was with them when they won BGT.

[@rosiereedy5497]

The best one...Richard Hadfield, certainly not the same and this version of stars is pathetic ...

[@courtenaysmith5206]

Rosie Reedy Oh seriously give it a rest. He’s living off his girlfriend’s wages three years later and literally has not done a thing. The others are producing major albums and huge tours. It’s not even comparable.

[@alimamykanu7701]

You are five before why four now?

[@k.l.raffensparger5545]

Matt has gotten so heavy!!! He's eating well.

[@joancoates4662]

So much better with the five.

[@dianacampbell7482]

Quite ragged...do they have any new song!

[@ccld4341]

Diana Campbell their new album 'the road to the royal albert hall' is coming out soon!

[@dianacampbell7482]

Boopady Doop I hope it is just the recording here that makes them sound so bad!

[@ccld4341]

Diana Campbell they almost always sound better live than in recording so im sure they're still good :D

[@dianacampbell7482]

Boopady Doop Hope so

[@adamandrews6482]

Where is the 5th one

[@AlxThSeal]

Missing the best one!

[@mariloudomingo2989]

Alan what happened to him???

[@AlxThSeal]

Marilou Domingo He fucked right off to pursue a solo career, after some internal/ego issues IIRC

[@rosiereedy5497]

I miss Richard, his voice is just fanstatic....actually made the group zing....

[@chucklewis6838]

Richard was disagreeable and has different ideas. He really was not happy. He struck out on his own. Instant improvement.

[@johnbarham8774]

What a load of crap

[@11Dossier]

They still sound good but they need that 5th member. I have been a fan since Britain’s Got Talent and I will continue to be one .

[@JimWalsh-rl5dj]

Posh Karaoke

They are great but they were greater with Richard. So sad he left.

[@kennethhoskins1647]

Love Collabro, but Jamie's blond hair and new, oversized chompers are a turn off to me.

[@susieb56]

Quite agree

[@annskinner4904]

I agree too. They need that original fourth voice of Richard. I still like them .

[@944clogue]

IT SHOWS WHEN YOU GET A LITTLE MONEY, WHAT SOMEONE THINKS THEY NEED TO IMPROVE UPON THEMSELVES.... JUST BE REAL... AND STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF.... YOU USUALLY LEARN THIS LATE IN LIFE....

[@jackiealtobelli7903]

I think he looks great! And I'm glad the 5th guy left. They're better without him.

[@leahbates2708]

Absolutely agree. Jamie is no longer the lovely man I saw on the BGT . He’s really changed..in his looks and his huge ego. Thought I was the only person feeling this. Still great vocally .

[@dion23ful]

I like them that much. But here they look and sounds a bit smug and bored, sorry!

[@amagnu100]

four guys missing the guy that made Callabro. front man missing.

[@hollycook6011]

Steve Parkinson *Collabro

[@nicolikail-lee9297]

The missing fifth member added much needed depth to their harmonies. Jamie over signs, and tried to hard causing him to be off pitch, and behind. He has not learned to sing as a group. Sad they haven't improved with time. They need to listen to each other and not try to out sing the other.

[@chucklewis6838]

Nicoli Kail-Lee I couldn't disagree more.

[@courtenaysmith5206]

Richard is entirely to blame here. Three years later it’s probably time to move on.

[@anonymouse9360]

The one blonde guy is getting a bit chubby. What happende to other guy - the best singer?

[@courtenaysmith5206]

Anony Mouse Best singer. Yet three years later he hasn’t done a thing. Maybe need to rethink that.

[@clairemcnamara1749]

Best singer you reckon ? And where is he now ... yep thats right nowhere to be seen. The remaining four are selling out tours worldwide and have released four albums. The "goid one" you refer to is busking on streets.

[@fred21327]

Definitely looks like Matt Pagan has gained weight. No longer the sleek image he had in 2014. He needs to get rid of that excess weight!

[@hollycook6011]

fred21327 Not all singers have to be dead skinny. His voice has improved since BGT (if that's possible) and I personally think he looks amazing as he is. Please be aware that words hurt

[@marianneterblanche2352]

Matt voice has got better and better over the years. Noone knows what they will look like in five years time. His sense of humour, banter and connection with audience. personality, and voice are great assets. He is also a great actor. Not everyone has the same build. If you do not have something good to say don't say it.

[@donnacoupe7359]

fred21327 what makes me smile is that by far the comments about Matts weight are coming from Men!! What’s that about!?

[@rozhunter7645]

Just to add the weight gain is the result of medication

[@pdr1815]

I blew these guys off when they dumped Richard. When did Matt pack on 30 pounds. His faceis rotund. Also I liked the original look of mix matched street clothes and God Thomas's hair look so much better when they won.
