What Really Happened Between Jonathan and Charlotte From Britain's Got Talent

[@constancemack3185]

This couple, Paul Potts, and Susan Boyle's auditions were my ALL TIME FAVORITE!! I've watched them over and over and still cry. Not only are they extremely talented, they were ALL so humble and sweet during their auditions. SO happy for their successes!!! ❤

[@fatguywithadrone1873]

she's no talent drag on him

[@davidjma7226]

Yes. Simon Cowell's comment that he made at their first live show was proven correct. He told him to dump her.

[@Lucinka58]

@@davidjma7226it would have been wrong to dump her. Singers of different styles can come together and create incredible music even if their paths then go different directions........ if he dumped her, she would be forgotten, the fact that he stuck with her (what helped his confidence too cause without her he would not have been able to go on) helped them both.

[@TheGreatDetectiveKnows]

It's always when you're forced to compromise and when there are huge artistic restrictions and rules that creativity booms. IMO this is why some bands with members with completely different styles are so successful, it's a push and pull and they're forced to make it work, creating very intricate and sophisticated pieces. When you have a complete free-for-all to do what you want things become easier, which is not always better for the music itself. People don't seem to understand this in modern art, which is one reason why quality has increasingly gone down and become lazy. Of course, when you have personalities with different visions not only do you make epic masterpieces, but the environment also becomes hostile and a battle, which is probably why these sorts of pairs don't last long, even with deep friendships.

[@paponeable]

Opera singer???

[@suedavis3525]

They were right for each other at the time but their musical styles and goals were entirely different. Jonathan is a phenomenal talent and should be an opera superstar if he follows the right path.

[@deniseg-hill1730]

He has sung all over the world so I don't understand why he isn't well known I always think of how Pavarotti was so famous

[@billybobjones4317]

No only Johno was talented, she had his coat tails to hang onto that kept her relevant for way past her due date, had she allowed Johno to go solo, she would have fallen by the wayside at her next attempt and would never have gone any further., it was all thanks to Johno being a good friend and thankfully it didn't ruin his chances as he was so good he could drag a lesser talent along with him. Not sure why people are trying to prop Charlotte to be better than she eventually showed once the Johno bubble faded from her. She was just okay as good singers are a dime a dozen, we see them every year trying out for these talent shows around the world as well as on KZbin, only the odd special talent shines through.

[@Lucinka58]

if they are good friends, friendship is never lost...... even if they don't speak daily, even if they don't speak for years, they are friends and I am sure if one ever needed something the other would be there to help. I got friends like that, and even if we don't keep in touch religiously, when we do meet or speak on the phone, we feel as if we just last spoke "yesterday" and not months ago. Their lives are busy, it doesn't mean that they stopped being friends just because they don't keep in touch daily.

[@heldercapela]

[@James-gr3cw]

The 2 is special and they have beautiful voices ❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@marionwallsten7507]

I perceived Charlotte to provide the angelic background for Jonathan's performance. The duo was perfect together.😊

[@moirafitzgerald5353]

They were beautiful together, but there's only so many duets suitable for their vocal style as a duo. Charlotte supported Jonathan as he didn't have the confidence to perform alone and encouraged him to follow his dreams. He wasn't just shy, but had been badly bullied at school and Charlotte stuck up for him as she wasn't one to " judge a book by it's cover." Charlotte got to know Jonathan as a person and was a true friend who encouraged him and gave him confidence to perform with her by his side. He didn't have the confidence or belief in his talent as Charlotte and their singing teacher knew that he had great potential, and could have a bright future and realise his dreams. At no point did Charlotte take advantage of his incredible talent, she put her dreams on hold in order to facilitate him to achieve his. They had always planned to follow their own chosen genre of music from the beginning but Jonathan needed Charlotte by his side to be able to perform. I honestly don't think that the comments about Charlotte's weight are appropriate tbh. She's a talented, warm hearted person with a beautiful soul who was simply giving her friend Jonathan the support he needed so that he could realise his dreams and potential. Neither of them could have envisioned that their duet would go viral. They were teenagers and were encouraged by their singing teacher to audition for BGT as she knew that it was the only way forward for Jonathan and his astounding voice. Due to their singing teacher putting them as a duo we were all blessed to hear their amazing talent. Many people share strong relationships as teenagers, but go their seperate ways and follow their own chosen path in life. How many of you still have those closest of friends in your lives today? Charlotte and Jonathan are no different. Just be happy for them both, respect them and wish them both happiness in life as individuals. For all we know Charlotte could have an undisclosed medical condition or could be on a medication that has lead to weight gain. Why does it matter that she's gained weight anyway? She's pursuing her career in music sharing her God given talent with us as is Jonathan. Obviously this is my personal opinion and my interpretation of their story.

[@Lucinka58]

I don't think their friendship will ever die or be lost. True friends stay friends forever, even if they don't keep in touch for years they would be there in a heartbeat if the other needed them. Right now both of them are doing well and they don't "need" each other........ doesn't mean they lost the friendship just because each has gone their own way.

[@moirafitzgerald5353]

@@Lucinka58 I agree with you 100% re Charlotte and Jonathan turning to each other during times of need if arose. I rarely speak to my best friend of over 40yrs but I know that if either of us were in trouble and needed help which has happened in the past I'm always there for her in a heartbeat as she would be for me.

I know quite a bit about him. At school she was the sort of girl who he wouldn't have thought would even know his name. Then she said she heard him singing one of her favorite songs "Bring Him Home" thru the wall from the classroom next door at school and had to find out who he was. She knew she wanted to be a part of that voice. So their teacher put them together for their exams and to sing at her wedding. When Charlotte signed up for the BGT audition she originally put just her own name down then she added Jon's name (without asking him) because she thought she would get farther with him than she would alone. It's a blessing to us all that he agreed to do it.

They were not right for each other, they never where. Jonathans Talents dwarfed Charlotte's by a factor of 10 and thats being generous. Charlotte knew that her hitching herself to him in BGT would give her more success, vs going on by herself. Its a shame for Jonathan because if he didnt have her, his career would be much more advanced than it is now. Conversely, if Charlotte didn't have Jonathan, she wouldn't have had 1/10 of the success. Stings but its true

that's more polite than i would have said but very accurate. i watched that first audition and i could see he was a tremendously talented lad, and she was riding his coat tails.

[@robertmcmillan1420]

sorry I dont have a comment . These two singing together is " off the map " Have no idea what is to become off it

[@peterd788]

It was always obvious that one was far more talented than the other. That doesn't mean either has no merit.

[@marion521]

They didn't appear on America's Got Talent -get the basic facts correct

[@barbarahocepied5031]

Now this is an earth shattering mistake!

[@JonnaManskov]

Jonathan you are so good. You look like my hero Meet Loff. Thanks fore you from me and Denmark

[@DeEmperor1]

I love this update. Thanks. I have been wondering how they are fairing.

[@Iamalwayslearning-in5dk]

They were and are friends, but they are also on to difference path in life.

She supported him. She encouraged him. Without her he would never have stepped on a stage. After he succeeded, he didn’t need her any longer. And Simons nasty comment probably sowed the seed.

[@hekv6533]

Agree 🙏

[@hinagikugamesnstuff2452]

What the hell? Did you watch the video? They made music together quite while! Saying that HE dumped HER is just wrong.

[@marion521]

The split was mutual

[@bossmodl3thalpoppa484]

It wasn’t a nasty comment…it was reality….try living there

[@robmarshall956]

Plus she couldn’t sing.

[@iamtheiamweareallone]

Let them stay parted. They’re happy

[@MissesWitch]

they brought each-other success, so it's a little sad to see them apart!

[@odaizoh]

She never liked Jonathan. But was clearly told that she would not make it solo, so stuck with him for a long time. Jonathan however was quite in love with the more assertive and strong willed girl, since he himself was very timid. Eventually she could no longer stand the awkward puppy dog love that he clearly had and she had to get out of that situation. And the thing that everyone knew would happen, happened; she flopped and he became a mediocre star. Both of them were good singers, but to be great, it takes more than that. They both needed each other for this to happen. The shy diamond in the rough and the theater singer with a will of iron.

Looks like Charlotte followed in Jonathan's footsteps.

[@alisonholland7531]

I just realised Jonathan looks like Maui ❤
