When Andrea Bocelli 's mother was pregnant with him, she got very sick and her doctor told her she should have an abortion because the baby would be damaged from her illness. She chose not too and we are all blessed by that decision.
katherine bruce I saw his testimony and it should be seen by more people! A perfect example of what the world might have lost if his mother had made that awful choice ! And a reminder to what we have lost due to abortion! Imagine who we might have here if the choice for life had been made!?!?
@@lorie-harleyflinchum4726 and let's not forget the thousands of living breathing girls and women who were slaughtered in back street abortions before abortions were made safe and legal. Their lives and talents were lost due to man-made draconian laws. I consider that murder
Sarah brightman was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber and starred in the original phantom of the Opera. One of the most beautiful voices ever so together with Andrea Bocelli this was magical
MARIANNE GOLDWEBER, SB is really fantastic. Great voice, great interpretations. Yet, I seem to be the only one here to consider the mad and semi-porn 1978 disco song STARSHIP TROOPER, a real and misunderstood masterpiece, despite the video has been considered some years ago the worst of all times by MTV! Greets from Brazil. Merry Xmas and Happy 2020.
Ramon Sobreira it wasn’t semi porn you twat...it was a dance group of very pretty girls called Hot Gossip (they used to appear on the Kenny Everett show. If it had anything to do with porn then it wouldn’t be allowed on top of the pops, a bbc1 weekly program....
Sarah Brightman & Hot Gossip - I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper is the disco song you WILL NOT BELIEVE! spaced-out Flash Gordon & Star WArs-inspired lyrics with a wink to Close Encounters. far out galactic groove. the dancers are luscious and simply amazing.
I love your reaction! I’ve loved this song ever since I first heard it in the late 90’s. I used to babysit this little boy my friends adopted from Korea and he was just a toddler, but every time I played this song he would stop whatever he was doing, lie on his tummy, prop up on his elbows and rest his chin in his hands and just smile! Only to this song! It was so cute! But, as much as I love this song, I never thought it would apply to my life and make me so sad as my husband left a few months ago. Now it breaks my heart . But still...awesome to see someone else appreciate it😊
First heard this song at a Barnes and Noble with the head phones on. I cried, still brings tears to my eyes. Saw Sarah Brightman in concert in 1999, what a performance she gave. Would love to see Bocelli in concert at the arena in Verona where everyone brings their own candle to light the way.
When we first saw Andrea Bocelli in concert it took us a few minutes to realise he was blind. Saw him in concert in Perth, West Australia, and he is amazing!
I just love you, young man!!! You are perceptive and it is a joy to watch you react to music! This song is so perfect for my husband's and my marriage. I lost him November 15th, 2019 after almost 50 years of marriage! Marriage is hard work , but also a wonderful thing!
I fell in love with Andre Bocelli's tenor voice when I heard him do "Time to Say Goodbye" - "Con Te Partirò". Andre Bocelli is blind. These aren't "common voices"; these are trained opera singers.
Friend,I want you to do something for your self.Rent a tuxedo and go to a live opera! I myself clean up classy and I know you would rock the look too....just do it!You really need to experience the live performance,you'll never forget it.
I second that. Do it. It’s a cultural experience you’ll not only never forget, but you’ll want to repeat it again. Blow away your wife/girlfriend/date and buy tickets to the theatre and just tell her to wear the classiest dress she has then watch her melt.
@Dojocho How beautiful it must be. I hope l can see such a production. The Russian Productions are renowned. Lincoln Center and the Christmas Season and the Nutcracker , how wonderful it would be. I have seen. Russian ballerinas who were magnificent. Thank you so much for your lovely message. l hope l can see it next season. ✨
I love this song. Sarah Brightman was the original Christine Daae in the Phantom of the Opera and was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber for a few years. If you want to hear something amazing check out Andrea Bocelli and his son sing Fall on Me.
So so happy to know that the amazing Andrea Bocelli is alive & such an incredible singer, his blindess is irrelevant to him, genious, as Sarah Brightman is too.
This was written for Sarah by her then husband Andrew Lloyd Weber. He wrote "Cats" and "Phantom of the Opera" among other shows. Weber really knows how to show off Sarah's vocal range. I also love how Sarah brings Andrea out so that his blindness isn't obvious. That is sweet.
It is a wonderful song. But it was not written by Andrew Lloyd Webber for Sarah Brightman. Con te partiro (Time to say goodbye) was composed by Francesco Sartori for Andrea Bocelli. He sung the song 1995 at the Sanremo festival and published it on his Album 'Bocelli' 1996. After this in 1997 they made the bilingual version 'time to say goodbye' with Sarah Brightman
Sir ! You DO KNOW HE IS BLIND. ----------------Brightman & Bocelli are music heaven. ----------------------My heritage is Sicilian so I'm always touched even more. -------------I tear up, every time I see this .-------------------WolfSky9
Imagine sitting in an open amphitheater, on a clear night, sipping on your favorite drink, with the symphony playing and hearing them perform live...I would ugly cry.
Great choice in music. This is a great song by a great man. God removed his sight only to give him an ear for music with the best vocals on earth. The Celtic women have an all English version in case you wanted to know the translation.
Quite an accomplishment when this came out -- for an Italian semi-operatic singer with the magnificent soprano Sarah Brightman to actually chart on the Rock Charts worldwide with an Italian love song. When I heard this on my favorite rock station I was blown away. Miracles do happen.
Or Aretha Franklin. Her version is stunningly beautiful as well. She filled in for him at the Grammy awards for his lifetime achievement award at the last moment and just SLAYED it! Like the QUEEN she is!
I love this version. People say she 'warbles', but I like her voice, and especially the way she tries to reassure a very nervous and very blind Andrea Bocelli. Beautiful!
Need to check out Sarah B. & Michael C. in the "Phantom of the Opera". I think it is so cool to see young folks out here who are willing to try music that would be considered way out of " their norm" or what people think should be their normal.
You have to check out the best vocalist from down under John Farnham singing the Beatles song "Help" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His vocals are crazy and he's an entertainer, the way he interacts with the crowd is awesome. John Farnham is an Aussie icon .
Opera is a form of theatre. It’s separate from musical theatre and is a key part of western classical music tradition. A song is opera if it comes from an opera otherwise it’s classical.
My mom would play this video for my niece when she was a toddler. Sometimes my mom would do it just for fun. My niece would be watching tv or playing with toys or at the table eating and as soon as she heard the music she would stop and come over to the computer to watch the video and as soon as it was done she walked away to continue what she was doing. I’m kinda glad my mom did that though because she loves to sing and has a beautiful voice😊
Lovely reaction. I love watching your reactions and how things obviously touch you. Some other beautiful pieces I might suggest for you would be. Song to The Siren by This Mortal Coil, Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone, Song To The Moon from Rusalka sung by Pilar Lorengar and The Carnival Is Over by The Seekers. A mix of styles and genres but all, I think beautiful in their way.
Bah! I’ve actually just requested twice for you to react to Andrea because it wasn’t showing me any in your videos SMH and then one surprises me by popping up in my suggested feeds from a year ago lol I’d love to see more tho, like him w/ Celine Dion singing “the prayer” or him solo.

Played this at my son’s funeral , my hearts still bleeds 23 years on .
I'm so sorry for your tragic loss
❤️❤️❤️

The loss of a child is pain beyond compare. I am so sorry you had to live through that.
❤️ your sons spirit will always live on ❤️
You picked....a WINNER.
Hands down one of the best.
Ever.
I love this song.
This song was played at my beautiful Mum's funeral
dean r hope your well brother
I bet you were such a joy in her life. To think of such a beautiful goodbye.
❤️
Mine too. Beautiful & painful song. Stirs up powerful emotions but healing at the same time.
at my wife's funeral to, as they was lowering the coffin into her grave.
Just remember these are two of the greatest singers in the world. That helps to understand the excitement. English and Italian singers.
she is one of the best sopranos in the operatic and modern music world....
So was Beverly Sills
The look of absolute adoration in her eyes as he sings is just beautiful. I love watching these two sing together
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed. It really gets into your soul. I get chills every time. Epic, stunning ❤️

Haven't heard this song in a while; gave ME goosebumps, OMG love the channel, keep the variety up!
OR...Andrea and Matteo Bocelli singing "Fall on me"" Father and son...Soooo special!!
Most definitely a must watch. My favorite
foots2066 YAASSS!!!!
I love that. It makes me cry every time I hear it.
OMG YES!! It is so beautiful and you can see the love they have for each other. Yes, made me cry.
True - absolutely stunning song!

Music from heaven! I get emotional every time I hear it. Thank you.
I love to see how your face starts lighening up and glooming when you hear the enchanting, wonderful voice of Sarah Brightman :-)
Effortless performance by two legends of opera. Beautiful.❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Did you know he is blind? Beautiful.. thanks for sharing
One of my favorites of all time. Simply beautiful. Beautiful.
Just beautiful! Italian is such a lyrical language. Love your reactions.
I listen to all kinds of music. I love the Italian tenors! And Andrea.... He is just WOW! And he is blind.
Love love love this duet, it is timeless! Great choice JB!
You've been beauty struck. Welcome. If only more of the world would listen. Thanks for putting it out there.
Absolutely a great pick.
I am confident that Opera is alive and well now left in your hands as well as your fans.
Keep up the great work.
This is my wedding entrance dedicated to my great friend who passed the way just few weeks before. Thanks to share brother ❤️
There have been many beautiful songs to me this is the best and sung by two perfect singers. I have never heard anything better than this.
I like all kinds of music. Country, R&B ,rock mostly
One of my fave performances and artists. Incredible.
Saw Andrea Bocelli live last year. He was really really great!
Absolutely beautiful what more can I say
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your videos. You are so open minded and so kind. You're a true joy to watch.
This song always gives me the chills. Perfection!
Now this is close to perfection also....love this song. .gift of voices...
When we first saw Andrea Bocelli in concert it took us a few minutes to realise he was blind. Saw him in concert in Perth, West Australia, and he is amazing!
Time to say goodbye to places I've never seen, to places I've not shared with you. Forever I will go on I'll sail sail with you.
Keep digging! There is so much out there and it connects us all. Music is universal!
always makes me cry this song
This is one of my favorite songs and versions. And I always rock back and forth just like you did when I hear it.
Full orchestra, chorus, and two great singers. Marvelous !!
At the Royal Albert Hall, London.
I just love you, young man!!! You are perceptive and it is a joy to watch you react to music! This song is so perfect for my husband's and my marriage. I lost him November 15th, 2019 after almost 50 years of marriage! Marriage is hard work , but also a wonderful thing!
Oh my, I lost my mother in August 2019 and a day after your husband passed, I lost my sister so I feel your pain
Brings tears to my eyes every time 👍
This song is what is called Popera (Pop music in a operatic style) but is so beautiful and requires operatic trained voices. Thanks for presenting it.
I fell in love with Andre Bocelli's tenor voice when I heard him do "Time to Say Goodbye" - "Con Te Partirò". Andre Bocelli is blind. These aren't "common voices"; these are trained opera singers.
I agree! Nothing common about it!
This guy singing just now is blind? Or his Dad? My Gran would turn in her grave for not knowing this! Xx
@@nataliemccabe3290 - yes, Andrea Bocelli is blind..
And they are not unknowns .. ☺️
@@nataliemccabe3290 - He was injured at 12, playing football (soccer), and lost his vision. Thankfully he has his voice....a gift to us all.
Man I get wracked with chills and goosebumps every single time. Love this version. nice video!
Exquisite music. Stay open to listening to all kinds of music.

La Boheme at Lincoln Center. Beautiful ✨
The Nutcracker at Christmas wherever you live. 🎶
True. It's expensive but worth saving up for.

Lincoln Center and the Christmas Season and the Nutcracker , how wonderful it would be. I have seen. Russian ballerinas who were magnificent.
Thank you so much for your lovely message. l hope l can see it next season. ✨
@Dojocho You Too☀
I caught this performance in 1998 on A PBS fund raiser. I bought the concert because of this song.
I love how Andrea smiles, so in the moment, nothing else matters.
I love this song. Sarah Brightman was the original Christine Daae in the Phantom of the Opera and was married to Andrew Lloyd Webber for a few years. If you want to hear something amazing check out Andrea Bocelli and his son sing Fall on Me.

You've got to listen to Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma!
Sarah sings that also.....
I was about to comment the same thing! :)
This one is absolutely fantastic. Pavarotti singing Nessun Dormai I found boring and not even comparable. Sorry just my humble opinion.
Try Bruce Sledge singing "Nessun Dorma," as well. His version was at the end of the movie "The Sum of All Fears."
Or Aretha Franklin. Her version is stunningly beautiful as well. She filled in for him at the Grammy awards for his lifetime achievement award at the last moment and just SLAYED it! Like the QUEEN she is!
Two angels on the stage
I love this version. People say she 'warbles', but I like her voice, and especially the way she tries to reassure a very nervous and very blind Andrea Bocelli. Beautiful!
Hearing this and nessun dorma live is another level. I can't even explain. Not a dry eye in the house
Truly an angel from heaven! Thx for sharing 😍

This is so beautiful, u will love it!!!
That music gives me cold chills......
In 1997 I was in hospital with cancer.This song the hit of the year . I loved it but I didn't say good bye!
This is the most beautiful song on earth. Imo
You are DEFFO a convert to classical music; and as a metal hound , may you never get tired of the best stuff!!
Loving your classical music journey!!!🎵🎼🎶💜
great reaction j. yes why restrict ourselves to what we could listen to.there is so much great music out there.
The world loves Sarah and Andrea singing this, their signature song. Yes it is opera. But often these opera singers bring a pop effect song.
You have to check out the best vocalist from down under John Farnham singing the Beatles song "Help" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His vocals are crazy and he's an entertainer, the way he interacts with the crowd is awesome. John Farnham is an Aussie icon

One of the greatest tenors, he is blind
I love discovering new things. Keep exploring! Regards.
your attitude is refreshing...thank you
Opera is a form of theatre. It’s separate from musical theatre and is a key part of western classical music tradition. A song is opera if it comes from an opera otherwise it’s classical.
so difficult to master. Controlling the voice, breath, etc. Truly an amazing art.
Or perhaps "Bel canto"
I think you wuold enjoy Sarah Brightman Pie Jesu.
Love how you mix up the reactions and so far all songs I like yeah
Absolutely sobbing right now 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌Xxx
Your wonderful ❤️
Thanks for this, nice to know that you're enjoying new music styles🤗 I can!t watch Andrea' and Elmo's version without blubbing - magic!
And one of the best operatic singers, several of the best operatic singers, of our time are black.

If Angel's sing, I imagine this is how they sound. What talent!!
Just a masterpiece
Listen the Andrea Bocelli sing Besame Mucho it an old song written in 1940. Josephine Baker, the Beatles and even Elvis sang it.
Beautiful.
Love your reaction!

I spent a month in Italy last year. Love it. 🤗🥰
Im glad I got to share this song with you all today .
the orchestra sounds like a grand march and Bocelli sings in english "... time to say goodbye" worth the price of admission that single line...
