Bravo, Johathan. I have never really enjoyed opera until I watched you perform, to see the passion and joy you have as well as your great voice has changed my mind. Keep up the great work. You are the greatest tenor of our time and will only get better. :)

[@roxannekent-drury1964]

Yes. I am not a great opera fan, but this guy has made me rethink that.

[@debbiebird1324]

Splendid.

[@14Aymara]

It makes me happy to see how much Jonathan has progressed, not only as a singer, but as a person. He's finally himself. Not nervous, happy, confident. Keep it up, Jonathan.

[@mabel8179]

14Aymara Oh me too! I was just going to say the same. He is so full of joy and humour- a delight to listen to and watch.I followed his journey on BGT.

[@14Aymara]

[@joannrust9551]

I don’t care about his weight but he does look outstanding and in great voice!

[@Knightoftheorient]

2 incredible voices in unison WOW!!!!! And Jonathan has lost alot of weight his looking Dapper

[@mabel8179]

Adam Knight He has- he looks great!

[@robertfleming681]

Awesome! He's growing into his manhood ... looking much more fit!!!! Live long and prosper, Jonathan! Oh, the other guy is pretty good, too ... (smile)

[@m35nd4]

Haha! Totally agree on both counts! Although I do kinda think the other guy just got in the way of us hearing Jonathans god given, effortless pure talent! May only good things come to him :-)

[@margchris]

+M35ND May I remind you that if 'the other guy' hadn't got in the way, this video wouldn't exist. Russell Watson supported and promoted Jonathan Antoine by having him as a guest artist during his 2014 Concert Tour, at a time when things were not looking that great for Jonathan. As for God-given talent, Russell's voice is as much a God-given gift as Jonathan's.

[@gliocchibelli]

+Chrismar I must endorse this comment. Russell and Jonathan are both fine singers, both with incredible talent and I'm grateful that, thanks to Russell, we have had the privilege to see this video of them singing together.

[@m35nd4]

Chrismar wow! So I happened to agree with another person's comment, i voice my opinion on that and you have in some way taken offence to that?? I believe Jonathan at such a young age has a god given talent.. Which he has! I much prefer his voice over the other, it's called an opinion which I'm allowed to have. Do not try to tell me that in your opinion, my opinion is not valid!! I haven't said anything outrageous, rude or crude so pleeeease get a life and let people have genuine opinions

[@margchris]

+M35ND Perhaps you should re-read my post. Nowhere have I said that your opinion was not valid. You, like everyone else on this page are entitled to your opinion and to date no one has put anyone down for their preferences and opinions. I was merely pointing out that without Russell Watson, who you felt was "in the way", Jonathan Antoine (who I happen to think has a wonderful voice) would not have been a guest on the 2014 tour and there would not have been any videos. You may not have said anything rude or crude in your original post but I have removed your response to gliocchibelli which was unnecessary (this person is also entitled to their opinion) and it certainly was rude and crude.

[@captebbtide]

Funny to watch Jonathan put Russ in the shade!😂

[@cinthyasantillan2741]

😱 yac veeeee qbajo d peso🧐 muyyy bien xl yx su salud mucha vida y éxitos a este nuevo talento 👍

[@user-tx7jf4ej3p]

心暖まる声声量かんあら

[@SahanTheMighty]

A lot of touching happening

[@BeryleChambers]

SahanTheMighty They remind me of brothers goofing off and having a great time. Little brother looks happy and eager. Big brother protective and proud. Fun to watch that fraternal dynamic play out.

[@humbalapa]

Jonathan appears to have lost a great deal of weight in this video... I hope he feels healthier and happier within himself for this. His voice remains magical.

[@davidupton4224]

I love this but am wondering what happened to his friend Charlotte? Are they still friends?

[@guiomarmariadocarmokilley383]

E o outro cantou?

[@jaygray7102]

He "just sort of took to it"......I'll say he did

[@pascalebertier1653]

Do tenors need a microphone now .....?

[@mihaimircea7042]

Pascale Bertier if they aren't in an opera house, yes, they need. is something about those halls are constructed to propagate the sound !?

[@loismonroe6156]

[@marjanf56]

sorry russell johnathan out sung you!!

[@kennapop3]

Soon and very soon his agent will be doing a better job to control the quality of his KZbin content. That said he still rose above the poor quality.

[@megjohnson9227]

Where’s the harmony. Disappointing.

[@jeanfarris6340]

Russell can't hold a drop.in the bucket compared to Jonathan. What a contrast None compare to Jonathan, just sounds like noise!
