CHARLOTTE & JONATHAN STAR ON BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT 2012 SEMI FINAL! CARUSO

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

Sadly, as he became more famous now, he has no time to talk to her nowadays. He is obviously the better singer and is a natural but Charlotte gave him the confidence he needed way back then. Hope he won't forget her. Or maybe something personal happened between them when Jonathan became the bigger star.

How lovely to hear Charlotte's beautiful voice in this.

She's much better than I originally thought.

Or was the mike turned off? Take another listen. Hmmm. Fortunately as of now, Dec. 2015 they both are doing very well, are constantly busy and making people happy with their singing. I still to this day wish they were a duo or would at least make an appearance together at say, a fund raiser.

[@Wat3rDragon]

Jonathan is better than Charlotte, but I don't think they should be split up. Their voices contrast each other so well. Charlotte can hold her own, and you CAN hear her voice when they're singing at the same time. I mean 2:22 they're singing together... without Charlotte's it would would very different, the 'shadowing effect' of Charlotte's voice in the background is beautiful.

[@tkmorrison6404]

Yes. Her voice compliments his. Plus she is the brave, gutsy and confident one that holds the two of them together. I trust her soft yet strong voice to enhance the beauty in the duo and harmonies without ever upstaging. Just a beautiful combo.

[@OneVoiceMore]

In their first audition, it must have gone unnoticed that Charlotte cued Johnny to hold for a measure on the intro, when he jumped the gun. She then lost focus, and jumped from her part, to his.... and still continued. In short, from his first syllable, Charlotte rescued him, and took a serious shot in the gut, from Simon, for it. "Gutsy" doesn't say it right. She's showed enormous courage and friendship, and at 16, deserved a lot better from Simon than his callous 'dump her' remark.

[@pauladouglass9456]

OneVoiceMore I know this is an old thread but I have to agree with you. From what I saw in the 3 BGT videos of them, Johnathan looked to Charlotte several times for cues. He severely lacked self-confidence and she was his rock. It is my belief that if he had not of had her by his side, he would have never made it past the first round. Not to misunderstand me, I think he is truly phenomenal but just lacked confidence.

[@denaspohn5207]

I think he almost started too early, but his voice is very powerful. I agree with a previous commenter. The people doing the sound amplified Jonathan's so much she was almost drowned out. Allowing her to start and sing solo in the semi-final made a difference. Both are incredible, but Jonathan is another Pavarotti.

Michael Jackson is great but he just ROCKS the House when he has his bros there with him singing. Diana Ross is good but she is more exciting with an original Supreme on each side of her. One day on the David Letterman show Cher sang with Sonny after years solo and it was sooooo talked about and exciting. Jonathan rocks but he will always be a little better with his sidekick there with him. Keep them together Sony.

[@JoshBabin]

Well that's usually what happens when you put an untrained musical-theater singer next to a classically-trained operatic tenor. She's still great, but they can't groove on every song due to that discrepancy

[@carlosperez-gb1fk]

While I certainly agree they have wildly different singing styles. I think it works for them and is certainly unique. As far as training, they are 16 and 17. Don't know how long they've been at this. My point was that the judges and audience swoon over Jonathan and rarely give Charlotte any credit for being able to sing at all. Could she make it without Jonathan, maybe not. But she's not crap either.

[@gloriaworden9868]

[@MrOTcomputer]

I agree. Charlotte is an amazing singer but doesn't get as much credit as Jonathan. So let's open my book of proof and answers since I am the only person on earth holding all of them. Umm...well....interesting. I found a very interesting question that I believe may shed some light on this anomaly. Flipping through the pages of the past I found something very interesting. Céline Dion & Andrea Bocelli played together in a very similar way. So my questions is this: Would Céline Dion of had the same issue as Charlotte has if she wasn't already known for being a star singer? I'm thinking yes she would of had the same problem. Conclusion: Despite the difference in tone and vocal balance, they are perfect together. (I personally love Charlotte's voice and I believe Charlotte is as much of a star singer as Jonathan is. They are perfect together. Simon suggested splitting them apart and I believe that would have been a devastating mistake. They are much stronger signers together. The music would not be as beautiful if they were singing alone. And Simon later acknowledged that splitting them apart would have been a huge mistake and together they formed an amazing, unique and beautiful chemistry. Simon openly admitted that their performance together was one of the best he has ever witnessed!)

It seems like her voice had improved a lot since the first audition. They sounded really good here and she definitely held her own IMO

2022, still blows me away. I think this performance was better than their final. Lost to a dog. Unreal.

[@jenniferbellaconis]

she has such a beautiful voice, but when Johnathan sings, I actually cry, it's so beautiful.

[@willaskjo4010]

Jonathan acts like Charlotte's prince and went with her to the end.🔥👏👏👏Bravo, so beautiful duo! And, she so beautiful externally and internally.

[@gloriali7946]

Around 2:14, when they began to harmonize, my eyes literally filled with tears. It is a rarity to find an operatic duet so effective and so goddamn beautiful- Jonathan and Charlotte had something very special, and instead of withering under bright stage lights, it came alive.

[@angelalonso473]

This boy sings with his heart and soul. He will be the Pavarotti of the XXI century. God bless him. Charlotte is a real angel.

[@s.f.694]

I love the way Jonathan looks back at Charlotte every now and then whenever they sing together :-D so cute and sweet!

[@li-rongseale177]

Thanks to Jonathan's loyalty and friendship, and he probably knew how good Charlotte was, and that her ability was not shown at the first audition, the decision to stay together he made enabled us to have the opportunity to hear this amazing duo. The most beautiful duo ever.

[@DeciSpades]

I agree that Jonathan’s voice is extremely powerful and wonderful. I do think Charlottes is just as beautiful just feminine and the first audition she was overpowered but this is incredible and I do think they are amazing together

[@SheilaGray-sh4yg]

Jonathan is beyond awesome. I listen to him every evening.

[@SheilaGray-sh4yg]

[@devinedeeem6705]

For some reason I'm in love with with Charlotte. She's so pretty. They are beautiful together and the genre of music is perfect for them.

[@abacab87]

I came here to watch Jonathan's "unchained melody" once before going to work, didn't expect to be here an hour later going through all of Jonathan's videos. I'm a guy, not depressed, and generally very stoic, but something about when Jonathan hits the right note and I'm reduced to sobbing.

[@Sserpxes]

Jonathan if you ever read this I want you to know that your talent surpasses Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Carusso. You are a slice of heaven come to to earth for us mere mortals to glance at. Don't let anyone stand in the way of your dreams

He has a Facebook page he's very active on. You can tell him!

[@FranciscoGonzalez-wq2od]

Dentro de ellos hay un espíritu que se ha refugiado en un cuerpo de un joven de 17 años y una niña de 16 años para dar alegría y poner un tapa bocas a quienes e han burlado por su aspecto. Sin lugar a dudas esta pareja debiera ser conocida por todos los amantes a la buena música

[@WilliamC496]

Simon goes from “Just when you think things can’t get worse” to “This has to be one of my favorite acts on BGT”

[@oakenshanks]

i think people forget.. 16 and 17 years old...

[@PhilOsGarage]

16 and 17 with 40 years experience. Phenomenal.

[@polmed]

There was Paul Potts, and then Susan Boyle, and now this duo. What more do you need to prove "don't judge a book by its cover"? I watced this duo over and over for the past few days, and still get goose bumps every time I hear them singing. They both have amazing voices, you just got suck into it wen they start singing. Keep up the great job, and wish you two the best in your career!!!

[@hendo19742]

[@aspenrebel]

+tankmaster1018 Hey, can we do that to a Heavy Metal beat?

[@valindamcqueen4251]

Jonathan has an extraordinary voice but in their going separate ways I feel something magic will be lost. Yes he will have success and perhaps she will too with that tremendous voice but for me the sound was both.......

[@stevesmith3199]

I agree Valinda...there is something unique and special about their voices together. Part of their power when they sing together is they synchronize the vibrato together which just drives the sound even more. But I believe it is the harmony of their spirits that blends the sound into one, a harmony that's seated deeper than the vocal chords. I believe this is what sets these two so far apart from any other duo I have EVER heard...what you call "magic", Valinda.

[@patrickgaasche2822]

The magic may be gone for the moment, but maybe destiny...or their producers begging them, lol, will bring them back together eventually. Young stars don't follow their heart, they follow their agents big selling words, which usually causes a split. Hopefully they realize over time their building of each other emotionally and through talent will be cause for a reunion. Not if just voices but of souls.

[@faizalazhar1262]

I dont know….how many time, i keep it watching….my eyes still 😢…proud…

[@cindyweir9645]

Wow, I'm just blown away by these two. I know they split up for creative reasons and we are so lucky to have the work they've done together. Charlotte sounds so beautiful here. And Jonathan is so powerful. I really believe he will be the next Pavarotti. On that level.

[@smilysht238]

I am going to speculate here but I think Charlotte purposefully downplayed herself in the first audition to showcase her low confidence friend because she wanted him to be the star and for him to have most of the praise, and she knew his singing would totally blow every bodies minds. that is what I think she did and it was a brilliant strategy for the second performance because they showed so much improvement from the first one that it totally wowed the judges a second time

[@ashleyl3699]

she has explained before that what happened was, when Jonathan messed up the beginning and started too early she came in early to help him out, which put her in a key that she could not sing well in and it just went downhill from there.

If there's music in heaven I think it'll sound something like this. These two are sensational.

[@inspectyerbooty]

i never watched the show but i have to disagree with simon. it was not one of the best performances, IT WAS THE BEST PERFORMANCE. i don't particularly like opera [in fact i like hard rock] but i recognize talent, and this performance was perfect to me. they say good opera can make you cry, laugh, gasp, and rejoice. well let me tell you,... this is good opera without the acting!!!

[@ants00]

This comment sums up what probably most people thought after watching this. Pretty much exactly how I felt and do not listen or like opera.

[@CleopatraPapadopoulos]

The sad part is is that they never won.

[@ants00]

That was upsetting but then I looked into them more and Simon offered them a record deal for $1 million(which they took) and have they has 2 cd's. Their futures look to be amazing.

[@CleopatraPapadopoulos]

Oh okay good. But still eh 1 million isnt a lot today. But yeah I guess better than nothing! Anthony Rossi

[@richyspleen]

That dog only won the competition, iv not seen or heard of the dog and its trainer since the show while these 2 won a life long career. Their making albums and money. I ask what has the dog and the trainer got out of winning the show other then performing for the queen?

For those days I want to just sit back and enjoy a musical adventure I come back and watch the J +C videos first to last and ALWAYS enjoy the epic. From those first stumbling moments on BGT to now Jonathan's I Am Your Compass solo....wow! Still in awe of both if them as a duo but you never know in music. Maybe they will bless audiences again! Jonathan is a once in a century voice it may be impossible for any soprano to pair with him for an extended time.

[@makeupbyaliii]

i love how he looks to her when they sing its so reassuring

[@mortanos8938]

Such a gorgeous duo. When people learn to look past the flesh and into the soul, that is where the real person exists. They may have long been social outcasts, butboth are highly loveable and good hearted characters. They deserve a slice of happiness.

[@rowo2774]

Over the years of talent shows, this is definitely one of my favorite ever performances.

[@vicpabustan7798]

The duet of Charlotte and Jonathan is perfect in chemistry & friendship. Initially, Simon C's advice to dump Charlotte paved the way to bring out the best in them. Bravo and you opted to stay with her on the Final of BGT. Congratulations!😊

[@ginnykrauskopf7853]

If you think about the load Charlotte was carrying in the first audition...16 years old and auditioning for BGT plus getting Jonathan out there. Would he get through it and show what he could do, or would he fall apart, throw up, pass out? Her voice was shrill at times, and no wonder. The look on her face when they finished, just before Simon spoke, tells it all. For the semi-final, she had a lot less stress and could concentrate on her part. She did say in the documentary that she looked fierce because she was trying not to cry. She nearly panicked before they went on, worried that Simon would be critical of her again.

[@kevinfrempong145]

Jonathan and Charlotte had a great performance and the audience had on their feet
