Getting teached by Rolando Villazon, now that is a true honor.

When Jonathan Antoine was just 19, Placido Domingo requested him to be his Special Guest for the itunes Global Festival of Music!

I Love Johnathon!!!

[@jodymichelle4965]

There is something humanizing about an educated, proper opera singer say fu*king. I also love his enthusiasm for teaching and helping others no matter the genre they end up choosing. I have enjoyed watching Charlotte and Johnathan grow and change. Johnathan is an extraordinary classical singer. I think people forget Charlotte did not start out singing opera and it is a world away from theatre style singing. The fact that she was able to hold her own with Johnathan was great and to see them support each other was inspiring and very endearing.

[@maj-brittsjogrenjacobsen7193]

So happy to see this video. How young they are. Very sweet to see them and hear them. ❤❤❤

[@patriciamurphy2838]

You're having such a delightful time which brings smiles to my face. although, they've gone down their respective paths oh, I'm glad you stuck it out Britain's Got Talent.

i love how this even this perceived "pro" is blown away by jonathans voice , it is so natural and effortless , everyone who he sings for has this same reaction

Blown??? Not at all, he was just being empathetic to the two novices..

[@elbrujo6974]

I couldn't help but notice the amazement and admiration of the person that was listening and coaching you two. I wish that I will be around in the next 10 years to hear you Jonathan and how your voice will grow with your age. You are truly amazing Jonathan and I can see nothing but wonders for you in the future.

[@glennishiggins3007]

It's wonderful to see how Jonathan has progressed since this Masterclass. He has graced the stage with Placido Domingo, performed at the Royal Albert Hall and had his own concert in the US! Canada next. ❤️

[@bonniec.9962]

Absolutely astonishing is right! I follow Jonathan, have listened every day to their first album "TOGETHER" and now "Perhaps Love"! I'm amazed at his every note, range, sound production, rich voice and incredible delivery! The surprises on Perhaps Love with his 3 superb solos are out of this world. I can't get enough!

[@artembabin3339]

Villazon is good and kind man, and great singer...

[@user-dy2xu3uv8k]

Just imagine being 17 or 18 years old, being invited to another country to train with one of the best of your profession, given one bit of advice, and then told you are flawless. I wonder how long it took Jonathan to realize just exactly what that meant?

[@Dclangers]

What a beautiful comment :D

[@saimiaomiao]

Learning singing with Rolando is fun!

[@darkvmaster07]

Yo creo que villazon posee una gran voz, y aunque varios afirmen que no tiene idea de como explicar la tecnica vocal, enseña a las jovenes promesas a proyectar la energia propia de cada cantante, a empaparse del personaje, a liberarlos de la rigidez vocal que muchos tenores tienen al inicio de su carrera...!! Grande Villazonn.!!!

[@gustrapos]

Roloando Villazon is a Hell of a Singer!

[@JoseGarcia-nn5jh]

rolando is amaizing

[@rockfloyd4630]

Charlotte & Jonathan, you are amazing singers. I really love the way both of you sing. I wish you all the best. And, in the right moment, come to Brazil for a presentation. Would be great to see both singing here, in the other side of the ocean! Congratulations from Brazil.

Quelle chance pour ces jeunes d'avoir pu recevoir les conseils de Rolando Villazon, un très très grand ténor, mais aussi le plus chaleureux !!!

[@tommyhaddox1]

Great to be able to share Jonathon and Charlottes journey through success from the outset. They are mixing in the best of circles and already are head and shoulders above almost everyone on the planet,especially when you take their ages into account.

Rolando is absolutely correct. He can't rush this or else he won't get the foundation he needs. Such talent from Jonathan!

[@haymuchoporcorregir]

WOOOOW what a professor!!!! I could note a great difference before and after they have been instructed by him. Charlotte is now using her real voice and it sounds muuuuuch better than her auditions. Really good

I love this guys

[@TheMtnMojo]

What a great opportunity for the two of you.

[@jewelmarkess]

Very interesting video. Thank you. You are right only he can make that choice. His voice sounds really fantastic here.

[@firsttenor76]

Nice, I got free vocal training by simply watching this lol.

[@EllyinAdelaide]

I love the smile on Rolando's face at 0:55 when he realises he's hearing an opera prodigy.

[@ignezmaciel2102]

[@adamknight7041]

@@ALyub-dl6do , ludicrous comment and I suppose you're an opera snot who knows it all don't you?...🙄 Jonathan has one of the most natural Tenor voices I've ever heard unlike 90% of contemporary opera stars who sound mechanical and devoid of emotion.

[@MultiKamil97]

He smiled especially when Jonathan sang that high Bb4. As a tenor he knew that this note is not an easy cake so it made him really fascinated about how well Jonathan projected it :)

I am so surprised and extremely happy to see these two face a real opera singer. I think that the two of them are wonderful individuals. I would like to see some American “singers” get humbled by a true classical vocalist. Excellent video!

[@PopcornAnny]

Good Advice Mr. Villazon,"natural" -- it reminds me of the Martina Arroyo master class I saw, but I was only a teenager. I love that song!!!

[@bonniec.9962]

I agree... I love that part.... it's how I would have responded too! Love it!

[@steveh88]

The title is "The Prayer". It is the song they performed during their first audition. You for "The Prayer by Jonathan and Charlotte [Full Album Version] " here on youtube and you can hear the version from their CD.

[@eyeshowyou]

Jonathan is a huge talent

[@vivianhooverparker7821]

Johnathon has an amazing voice but I knew once he took his chin off of his chest it would change his whole dynamic. Charlotte knew she wasn't an opera singer but she was willing to learn a different technique to get better. This is what a true performer. Willing to learn something new to better their craft.

[@brianb1943]

Wow!!! I really wish I could study with Rolando Villazon. :) He's so knowledgeable and sees potential in his students. From what many singers have told me, it's true that you need to have a lot of patience to make it to where the top is. And I really hope for the best to both of the singers in this video!

[@jaggass]

Its never too late for Rolando Villazon to become a Mr Bean tribute act.

[@pugh.joseph]

You're right

[@joeyspinoza4636]

Interesting voice. Interesting age. I wish him the best. He has the potential, but he will need a lot of work. The raw voice is quite good, it is rich and warm and he seems to have some ability with his softer voice. The voice seems to be somewhat like a baritone (not quite) but with the tenor range, I would love to hear more operatic arias in the future.

[@valkyriesardo278]

It is lovely to finally hear that duet without the orchestra. I see a friendship that will endure even if their love for music takes a separate path.

[@lilimarlene7813]

When the teacher realizes the student is going to surpass him..... ❤️

[@adamknight7041]

In what aspect? How many professional Opera's in the grandest opera venues has Jonathan performed in to date?...Answer = 0

[@lilimarlene7813]

@@adamknight7041 Uhh.....note I wrote ‘is going to, ‘ not that Jonathan has surpassed him. BTW, it’s ‘professional operas,’ not ‘Opera’s.’ I suspect a genuine opera aficionado would know that.

[@adamknight7041]

​@@lilimarlene7813 I genuinely don't think Jonathan will ever pursue Opera because he's too content with singing for Popera audiences and the casual listening public. He'll just be another Bocelli or Alfie Boe not a Pavarotti or Bjorling

[@Minahino17]

eresme cm yo igual, pero es porque estudiamos y cada día nos volvemos más exigentes y eso nos hace ser autocríticos, cuando eres ignorante, no te da nada porque piensas o te crees que lo haces bien. Mi compañera de canto tomó clases con Montserrat Caballé y mi maestra tomó clases con ella igualmente; al igual que con Pavarotti y cantó con Bocelli y siempre me decía que los nervios eran parte del día a día, pero que cuando te paras y ya vas a cantar, debes alejar todos esos pensamientos.

[@ItsGrapeHD]

wowww this is amazing, both of them Charlotte and Jonathan, i really in love with them, so fantastic,i hope a brilliant future for them

[@jewelmarkess]

It's so moving. I do hope he gets training and gets to pursue his dream. I think he should pursue opera, but he may need to work on a lot more than voice for that. In terms of money top opera singers are doing quite well, but it takes a lot of work, dedication and a bit of luck getting there.

[@ravecoh123]

great, great, great :D

[@Saberil1]

Oh my God...that's just from one class of a few hours, from one instructor. Both of you should be coached by some of the best in the business as often as possible, and seriously, there's a rainbow at the end of the journey for you both, and you're blessed to be starting with a legion of fans that will only grow! :) Find a path, stick with it and enjoy the experience!

[@AndySaenz]

When you're good enough to make a world-famous opera singer like Ronaldo Villazon curse, you should be very pleased with yourself! Lol

[@janekerigan235]

Talking about b flat. There's a recording here in KZbin that compares the different b flats of different tenors. I accidentally saw it and Jonathan's b flat seem to sound very similar to Caruso..LoL..look for it it's actually the 1st one sang. It was suppose to be a guessing game. But its funny how all the tenor legends stood out among the rest. I meant I haven't really listened extensively to Caruso,pavarotti and Domingo but they are among the 5 I picked out as the beat of 20. I guess b flats says a lot about a tenor as much as a high c

[@gustavotbf]

I absolutely agree with you on the B flat topic. We usually measure a tenor's greatness by the power of their high C's. But it really takes a great tenor to sing perfectly controlled high Bb's, either pianissimo, fortissimo, with crescendo or diminuendo and with different vowels.

[@carutico]

Thanks for your explanation.... I mean it.

[@EDDDY4085]

Me encanta Charlotte

[@Knightoftheorient]

Rolando > "F@#K that's a big voice!" LOL :-) Wasn't expecting that to slip out.

[@jewelmarkess]

Yes it was nice. It's good to see Rolando teaching, he really shows he may be good at it too. It's unfortunate how his own career turned out though.

[@johnyliltoe]

Finally it's pointed out that she's not an opera singer. Kept getting annoyed with the BGT interpretation that she'd hold Johnathan back when she's actually a great singer, just not an opera singer.

[@selenaofseattle]

(NOT Selena) lauren: Have long felt that it is sad that we as human beings must constantly make comparisons: larger/smaller, shorter/longer, etc. Why is it not possible for something, or someone to just stand on their OWN merit, or be their own category. Jonathan and Charlotte have beautiful God-given voices. We are so blessed and fortunate to be able to listen, and I hope whatever 'course' they decide to take that much joy will always be apart of their choice.

[@nthdegree1269]

Jonathan is at a critical stage though. From the sound of his voice, it seems, that he has had excellent coaching and excellent training so far. His voice has a very deep timber and he is 17. The voice will start to get deeper as he ages. HE will have to adapt and right now, he is laying the foundation. The foundation can't be rushed. I think he should pursue opera, but only he can make that choice.

[@TheLineCutter]

At 3:55 he turns his head to Jonathan like he would want to say: get outta here! (yaws drop)

[@nthdegree1269]

Interestingly, he recently visited the cemetery where Pavarotti's family is buried. He almost breaks down, and is moved and its at that point, he realizes the birthday of Pavarotti's son (the child who died at birth Riccardo) is the same birthday as his own, although of course Jonathan is older. I am sure he will remember that and of course, it almost seems like the door is opened for him.

[@jewelmarkess]

What does my career have to do with it? I am glad if his career is back on track. Last time I heard he was on and off after his surgery, great one time then cancelling performances. But if his voice is completely back, I am most certainly happy for him. Incidentally, I am going to Met very often and know their schedule for this year very well, and I did not see his name on the roster. I'd certainly noticed as I would've bought the ticket as I'd love to hear him live.

[@fellow111411]

No wonder they sing better than before. A good training from a professional can bring out the best.

[@Knightoftheorient]

Currently what they are singing now is classical/pop crossover, what could be described as Popera if you like! Charlotte's voice isn't hugely operatic but its light and pretty sounding, definitely more musical theatre then opera house! Jonny's voice however is exceptional for a 17 year old, even Rolando conceeded he has the makings of an exceptional Tenor!

[@iKOH423]

What song are they singing at around the 46 second mark...been searching for days

[@nthdegree1269]

How do you know that?

[@cindyj5522]

This young man has so much natural talent that it is beyond belief. Senor Villason is right I think- he could mature into a tenor of legend if he so chose. But I son't get a sense that he is interested in that. When he says "I just want to sing" I think he means "I just want to have fun." He's 17. The attention and little income he might be making is enough right now. There is still time.

[@adamknight7041]

This was filmed in 2012, Jonathan is now 26 and is having a successful career in the classical/crossover niche.

[@MSaucedo760]

What song were they performing in this video because I heard it several times from them and I want for know the song title. Plz reply

[@ricardoroque2609]

Mulher magevilha

[@Knightoftheorient]

(continued)...However whilst sticking with Charlotte as a duo in the short term is fine to enjoy some more commercial success, in the long run to be considered a legendary Tenor then Rolando is right he has to go his separate ways and study Opera full time and complete his education!

[@12jwood]

Did he say "that a f***ing B flat"?

[@MultiLakewood]

I think you are absolutely right! Astonished that it was done with such ease.
