    My God in heaven, what amazing talents. You boys are a credit to yourselves, your choirmaster, your parents, your teachers, and just... wow! I have to say, this is one of the most moving musical theatre songs of the modern age, both in sentiment and musicality, and you boys did it justice. And that last young man with the voice that tied it all together to finish, was just breath-taking. That, my friends, is a West End voice if ever I heard one (and I've heard a few)! In a world of greys and shades of dull, you boys bring light and colour with your voices and your commitment. Thank you.

      Wonderfully stated. I couldn't agree more. But I would add how remarkable it is to find so many great voices, so much unrivaled talent in such a small little place. One would expect you would have to travel far and wide to find a collection this magnificent

    As a 75 yr old South Walian living in Australia, for 52 years, this brings tears to my eyes. The talent that is out there on the streets and which you have thankfully brought together is testament to the power of music and singing. Any of those soloists could have a future in singing. Keep up the good work in giving those boys and young men another purpose in life. Da iawn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    I was at the opening night of Miss Saigon in London all those years ago with Lea playing the lead, and when this song came with Peter Polycarpou & film of the abandoned kids in the background it was such a choking moment. Still one of my top musicals.

      agreed max. i've seen this show a few times and each one was as perfect as the previous one was. if you wanna sob all the way through a show, with tears of love and joy and sadness, then this is a must see. it's one of five of my second favourite shows {if you can figure that out, lol}.
      i abbasolutely love it, and this is a most moving version of this song. well done boys and congrats on showing that it is possible to be a young man and have discipline and love in your hearts.
      and what a great play on words for a group name. loved it.
      there is hope, there is always hope ...

      whilst it must surely be a universal truth that the world is in such a state because of soooo many men behaving badly, it is with tremendous hope and faith that i do see a percentage of men stepping up to the plate and learning the responsibilities of how to be a decent human being.

    A resounding "well done" to both the boys, and Tim Rhys-Evans. Both the music, and the cause behind "ONLY BOYS ALOUD" is beyond commendable. Not only does the young men, and Tim give us some of the best choral experiences you could hope for, but it shows the boys that singing is COOL, and with passion, hard work, determination, and conviction you can achieve anything you desire. Such a blessing for Wales to have the boys, and Tim!
