Heyy!! Be honest, what did you (or didn't you) like about this video? BUT, have you ever seen Simon Cowell break down crying? Watch this 👉 ua-cam.com/video/VubpRMC1Ntw/v-deo.html
How could you not include Courtney Hadwin? She comes out all super shy and you get a feeling its going to be disastrous or like shes going to whisper "amazing grace".. then all of a sudden...its like shes possessed by the the child that would result if somehow Mick Jagger, Janis Joplin, and Little Richard all had a baby together. One of the most rewatched viral auditions of Got Talents of all time!
On paddy and Nicko, i love how when simon pressed the X, they looked at him and said with their expressions:"we're about to end this man's whole career"
Okay 😂...The devil 👿, then an Irish ☘️ priest, then a cross dressing👗 trans 😮 Yet, the horror is not over because a kid comes out to perform but dances oddly rather than singing on the Voice. So, now I’m so very Confused thing this can’t get any worse. So, I’m like my foking eyes bring back the priest cause Im thinking the devil left some of his demons behind and it’s a good time for an excoriating! Then, I found out I was right to think demons lurking. Seeing, found out one of the young judges suddenly got sick and dies from numerous organs failing. So, can’t even be an organ donor and save our lives that might also be lost far far too soon. Yet, there is even another horrific ill fated twist seeing she dies on ❤Valentines Day 2024😢. So, now I’m 100% sure it’s like the scary movie The Ring and if you watched this showing your days are as numbered as in the movie or as in the book of Revelations but with another twist because written only in song. So, now I’m no longer laughing but beyond spooked 😱and feel like we might be all cursed and our clock is ticking and time is running out fir us who foked up and watched this show. 🤯😳😖🤬
Is it just me? Years ago Simon seemed very critical and sarcastic to performances. He has seemed so much more sympathetic, supportive, and literally happy the past several years. I could be wrong, but I think his kindness and compassion came through when he became a father. I have become one of his biggest fans over the years. Simon, your happiness shines through!
Have you seen Idol in Africa ? So touching.. he was devastated by the conditions and ended up carrying an ailing mother from her bed to the jeep to take her for medical care .. i fell in love with him then and shortly after that he met his wife
@@tk20channelI absolutely love, Love, LOVE that song, it really hits me to my soul and the words are SO true, I think EVERYONE can relate in some way or another!
It’s incredible seeing people who have likely often been judged as awkward by the world get the opportunity to let their true inner beauty shine through and their joy when the audience genuinely respond to it.
I have always heard that the greatest compliment an audience can give when you finish your performance is to just sit there in silence (as they did for Father Ray.)
Every time I see her audition, it brings tears to my eyes. The way people treated her, her voice is perfection. The way they snarked, rolled their eyes and made fun of her. It's ridiculous to judge a book by its cover like that. I guess she remains very close to Simon. She had to get out of the limelight because of mental health. She blew up very quickly and that was too much demand for her. I think a family member passed also. When you go from being broke to having money, everyone comes out of the woodwork to start begging you for money. After the show, she was diagnosed with autism. She was finally able to get answers for a lot of things. She was dealing with a lot of stuff. In my eyes, she will forever have the number one audition ❤.
I dont think anyone realizes how Charlotte sang her lungs and heart out for Jonathon. She also kept him on track. She did not deserve to be talked about like that. Jonathon wouldnt have been able to do that without her. There's always so much more to everyone's story.
her voice sounds absolutely beautiful as well! it’s a shame that it almost sounds like they even lowered the volume on her mic- you couldn’t hear her at all :(
Father Ray Kelly stole the show with "Everybody hurts." He touched more than the audience in the room. I hope he'll continue singing and record his voice. I'm a big fan.
Halfway through Father Kelly's song, I realized my face was covered in tears...I lost my soulmate last June, this song both pierced and soothed my heart. The good Father sang not just from his heart, but from his very soul. So powerful...
Heart broken to learn about Emma Jones. I am so grateful she got to hear Simon say that he loved her. It seemed to mean a lot to her. She is a beautiful soul and angel. Keep singing with the Angels ❤
What reached out and touched me is the Father hurts as much as the rest of us do and he doesn't have the gift of a Wife and Children to go home to. He must get very lonely at times. What devotion it must take to spend his life serving God and his congregation.
You could tell from the silence at the end that he had created a sacred space with such a heartfelt rendition of a song that speaks to everyone of their pain. The audience was so moved they didn't clap until Simon stood up. I've never seen anything like that happen except the liturgy in church.
Father Kelly brought me to tears as he looked up at the audience and told them to HOLD ON, because in this life, on this planet he knows well enough that 'Everybody Hurts'. God hasn't forgotten us.
I never get tired of watching Susan taking that smirk off all the faces in the panel and the crowd of all of them.. hope they enjoy their faces when they see it on replay..
As for the kid, I'd have given him a no. I'd tell him that his talent is wasted in a show such as BGT, and that he auditions for The Voice and make albums and so on.
Father Ray doesn't have a spectacular voice by any standard. But the power of his delivery and the power of his message was so pure and genuine, it blew everyone away, including me. You could literally hear the rustling of Simon's pants as he stood up. It was the perfect pause. That Simon stood up and was the one who had to snap everyone out of it was that much more special since he was clearly annoyed by Father Ray and just wanted him done and over with at the beginning.
Wow!!!! Father Kelly had me in tears. He is in the right office as a Pastor. That performance carried the weight of all those ppl who have ever sat and confided in him about ANYTHING! Omg!
Zion Clark is a real definition of inspiring I am crying to this I've been going through so many difficulties so far and after watching his performance I realized that no matter how difficult life gets you have to get things done and like he said " no excuses " thank you for sharing this
Amen to that! Sitting in my wheelchair, wondering if I will ever walk again. I’m not going to give up and this wonderful man has inspired my soul. From now on, I’m trying harder! How do you thank someone for the gift of inspiration? All I can do is say thank you from afar.💕🙏💕
@@GtrPknMamaYou don’t need to thank him……all you need to do is Thank yourself for finding whatever it is that inspires YOU to find what is IN YOU to give you that inspiration. The BEST “thank you” will be when you walk again. Not “if” …. But WHEN! YOU CAN DO IT, you WILL do it, YOU ARE DOING IT! I was told I was not going to live past 50……I am 57…..yes, that photo is recent. I DID IT. No ONE BUT ME. I DUG DEEP. I FOUND INSIDE MYSELF WHAT I WOULD NEED TO GET THERE. I DID IT. YOU ARE DOING IT! ❤
I don't think I've ever heard "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. sung quite like Father Ray soulfully sang it. I could truly feel the passion and meaning in the way it was presented... and today, of all days, I really needed to hear it. Another day to live...
I loved it too! I'm not Christian/Catholic but I have much respect for anyone (in any religion) being very dedicated, devoted and being kind. He was awesome!
A priest hears the confessions of the soul. The song he sang was an expression of his calling to help people find peace in the forgiving mercy of Jesus Christ.
ZION...that background, those experiences... surviving even that, but living his life with that attitude is a lesson, a reminder to us to be grateful 🙏🏻 ❤❤❤
Father Kelly's song had me in tears. Christmas Eve, alon e, horrible head cold, and other things raining down. Hold on, Hold on. So encouraging, and , NO, I am not a Catholic. The man has a beautiful voice, and heart
Not only did father Ray Kelly have the most incredible singing voice he also has an incredible and soothing speaking voice. I could listen to him talk all the time. ❤
Omg!!. The Priest made me cry, that was heartfelt. People indeed are hurting and then for him to encourage us to hold on at the end😢😭 I wish I could tell him thank you.
Just finished watching Emma Jones sing Ave Maria... What a stunning performance in spite of all those nerves! So impressed I looked her up, only to learn she passed away 3 days ago from multiple organ failure due to cancer. She had her whole life before her. I'll never forget you, Emma! So talented, and so so brave!
Bless you Emma Jones. I watched this tonight and looked up Emma Jones who sang Ave Maria so beautifully. Devastated to read she died last month after a battle with cancer. Absolutely tragic.
Oh that is sad. She was so young. There is some comfort in knowing she had at least one glorious moment in her life. And from her manner on that stage, her soul seemed as pure and true as her voice. Condolences to the bereaved.
What bugs me is that the panel always make a big deal out of supporting people who have been bullied, but when Susan Boyle was about to sing they were making faces, rolling their eyes, etc. While that may not be blatant bullying, it is a form of micro bullying. They were basically sneering at her based on how she looked and acted, even though she wasn't being mean or unkind and was perfectly polite. A little odd by most standards, maybe, but polite. And that is how bullying usually starts. People make assumptions about someone based on superficial things and then pick on them or dismiss them or are mean to them. Rolling eyes at someone and smirking, etc., is mean as far as I'm concerned. They don't usually do this, but they ought to check themselves. What if Susan HADN'T been the amazing singer she was/is? They might have continued with their rotten attitude. I'm SO glad she proved them wrong about her in a multitude of ways! Simon did the same thing with his eyes when Eugene the Librarian came out.
I would actually argue the complete opposite. First of all, I don’t agree that the audience is ever expressing hate or love. I would argue that the audience is communicating, boredom or excitement/interest. Secondly, and most importantly, I would argue that the audience is completely honest. They don’t care about making judgements and are in an environment where giving feedback is the norm. They are unrestricted and then display their thinking in an unfiltered way. I would argue that while judgement is flimsy, it is possibly one of the most honest forms of communication exhibited today.
Everybody Hurts is my go to song when I'm missing my parents! Thank You Father Ray you sang this song from your heart and brought this 62 year old woman to tears!!💯☝️🎤😢♥️ R.I.P Mom & Dad🕊️💔 Can't wait to be with you both again!!
The 80 year old dancer lady was absolutely amazing. She has the legs of a twenty five year old. What an inspiration to seniors everywhere! God bless her!!!!!
OMG - openly wept when Father Ray sang. What a beautiful performance! So honest and full of emotion. I think everyone who has ever gone through tough times felt he was singing directly to them.
I didn’t cry but it touched my soul and that’s a lot for me. I love that song but I loved the way he sung it. Go Father and please keep singing, your voice is so beautiful.
That R.E.M. song was almost the end of me when I was younger. Hearing this amazing performance and the sincerity with which he said "hold on" really plucked at my heart-strings.
Father Kelly had me ugly crying after watching this. He's amazing and if he was in my area, I'd probably start going back to church. I lost my beloved cousin to suicide so this struck home to me. Thank you Father Kelly for doing that song.
This program is definitely the most inspirational , creative , dominant , funny on any media. At the worst times in my life I’ve turned to it to save me from my existence.
Heather is an amazing person not only did she adopt a dog, she adopted a three legged dog, but not only that she adopted a three legged pittbull mix, that is like the trifecta of down trodden dog, but she gave him such a good and loving home you can see it in every move Bogart makes, from his happy eyes and wagging tail.
Yes. Thank you Heather for your love and support of Bougart. He’s a very happy sweet boy and he’s always going to love you. So thank you for caring enough to save him. ❤
That priest made the sweetest tearjerking truest Contribution to Mankind! He GOT THAT MESSAGE OUT TO LEGIONS EHO NEEDED, NEEEEDED, NEEEEEDED IT !!! GOD BLESS HIM. BLESS HIM. BLESSS HIM !!!!
Never been this close to crying in a pub. Father your voice your passion for the song was breath taking. That song means so much to you. The emotion was shown through it. I shall get myself a pint in your honour.
Wow, when Father Ray ended his song, I think everyone was a bit mesmerized and emotional feeling the compassion he showed with his voice that's tied to his calling, and this is why there wasn't an immediate applause--everyone was just sitting there soaking it up. I think we all got lost in his beautiful performance. Bravo Father!! Also, loved how Simon stood up when he quickly realized everyone was still in awe but needed to start the applause.
He sang from the depths of his soul and it brought me to tears. I think many sat there wondering who is this man and what pain is so accessible within him. I felt a deep sense of compassion for him and wanted to soothe his pain. 😢🙏 God bless father ray , I hope he has meaningful relationships in his life. Much isolation comes with the collar. While his role is to be a balm to the soul of others, one wonders who soothes his soul and I believe he felt the love in return for his basic humanity that often goes overlooked and unfulfilled. There was an outpouring in those moments of silence of the souls of others who heard him and he was seen ❤
Thank You..Everyone Commenting About Father Ray,,Which Was Beautiful…But..This Guy..Is A Gods Chosen Angel..By Rights,This Is A Man I Would Rather Get To Know,Than Father Ray,Just Wow,I 🙏🏻 God Continues To Bless Him🙏🏻❤️🪽
The 2 students whose music teacher gave them a push, Simon wrote them off. He didn't even ask what they were singing. He just kind of brushed them off when he told them to go ahead. Boy was he shocked!
It’s amazing how energy is transmitted through the voice. Father Kelly… wow. It’s hard to explain to someone that is technically proficient but has no soul or is disconnected from the music how important it is to share that connection with your audience, Loved him. ❤️
Paddy and Nick were awesome. She was not even winded by all those flips. We should all be so fortunate to have a body capable of that at 80 years old! I absolutely love her. And Emma Jones is a force. She has such a clear and sweet voice and her trembling hands just make her so endearing. She does not realize how gifted she is.
He lives in San Diego, CA. He does alot of personal meetings for his fans and just charity in general. Come check him out. I've never met him but I'm meeting him fairly soon here. He has also been fighting in MMA alot more, hes wild.
I remember one of the late night comedians re-running the tape and he just sat there mesmerized, as did all of the audience. I will never forget that audition!
I loved Father Ray Kelly. He delivered such a beautiful rendition of that song. May Our Father Almighty continue to spread his love, joy, and peace throughout the world. God bless him.
Here it is many years after Susan Boyles original audition and I'm struck by what a genuine person she was then and seemingly happy. I hope she is happy today.
Father Ray is absolutely a talented singer who happens to be a priest! His heavenly voice touched me to the core! The judges should have given him the golden buzzer!
That little 80 year old lady got tossed around like a rag doll and didn't break a sweat. Meanwhile, I'm 40 and I threw my back out yesterday by sneezing.
You can tell most didn’t watch the whole 2hour video based on comments, but honestly Emma Jones singing Ave Maria is one of the most precious performances ever. Even folks who front as “normal” love these videos because we all know that inside we are all a little broken and we all hope others will also see some glimpse of eternal perfection in us as well. We live vicariously through these amazingly brave people putting themselves up for ridicule or glory.
Amanda pressed the button not just for her grandmother, but for all the grandmother's.., widows, aging women..and those too afraid to come out due to whatever... How sentimental and sensitive of Amanda.. amazing Beautiful comments..great laughs

I’m so glad she got hooked up through the show. She really was made to perform. 💕
Me too, but not in good way.
We recorded it with a webcam when it was on TV and watched it so many times years ago 😎
Yes, she does the same thing for me, she truly has a gift ❤
Best version I've ever heard 😢
The singing priest got the entire audience dead silent. Everyone felt how much he meant that. Really comforting. What a wonderful person.
Do you know the title of the song

Really soulful.

Charlotte was off key the entire song. Whenever her voiced peeked through it instantly clashed with his.
A mere confidence mascot hardly deserves to win Britain’s Got Talent though, to be fair.
Susan Boyle opens her mouth and within seconds I'm crying with a unique blend of joy and sadness. Lots of surprising acts here.
Daniel Chettoe amazed me with that deep voice and only 15 years old! Wow!
Father Ray Kelly stole the show with "Everybody hurts." He touched more than the audience in the room. I hope he'll continue singing and record his voice. I'm a big fan.
According to Wikipedia, he's got 2 albums out already. One in 2014, and one in 2015. Might be able to dig them up on Spotify or something. Enjoy!
he stunlocked everyone.
That was my favorite as well. Great job...👍
I didn't see when it happened, but a song by the band Rem sung this way can bring back memories of the old days
Look on UA-cam for Hallelujah by Father Ray, simply wonderful ❤
The 80 year old woman had such grace and class in all of her responses; just a lovely human.
I don’t care how many times I hear Father Ray sing, his version of Everybody Hurts is absolutely beautiful and so compassionate. So moving!

Yes I agree Her Singing! it was A v High class performance
ZION...that background, those experiences... surviving even that, but living his life with that attitude is a lesson, a reminder to us to be grateful 🙏🏻 ❤❤❤

Sadly talented late Emma left this world in such a young aged. Rest in peace Emma. We love you.
Father Kelly's song had me in tears. Christmas Eve, alon e, horrible head cold, and other things raining down. Hold on, Hold on. So encouraging, and , NO, I am not a Catholic. The man has a beautiful voice, and heart
Hope you are ok now. ❤️
Hope things have got better for you in 2024.❤
Hope now if u need a friend. I'm here!! ❤❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏😘
Not only did father Ray Kelly have the most incredible singing voice he also has an incredible and soothing speaking voice. I could listen to him talk all the time. ❤
I love that Simon was the first one on his feet applauding the singing priest.
I'm quite atheist and the song wasn't even my type of music and even I was incredibly impressed. He absolutely knocked it out of the park.
Every single one of those audience members was just so stunned they didn’t even know what to do!
Omg!!. The Priest made me cry, that was heartfelt. People indeed are hurting and then for him to encourage us to hold on at the end😢😭 I wish I could tell him thank you.
"Hold on. Hold on. Everybody hurts," says Father Ray Kelly. Thank you, Father. I will.
What a beautiful sermon. I couldn't get past that performance. Hit home hard.
Beyond Amazing!!!!!!!
Don't let go!
There's already a viral video on UA-cam where Fr Kelly is singing at a wedding, doing a wedding version for the couple. Saw it many yrs ago.
That ray Kelly isn't the one that went viral some years ago cause he sang that wedding version of a known song?
Just finished watching Emma Jones sing Ave Maria... What a stunning performance in spite of all those nerves! So impressed I looked her up, only to learn she passed away 3 days ago from multiple organ failure due to cancer. She had her whole life before her. I'll never forget you, Emma! So talented, and so so brave!
Oh no! Thank you for sharing, so sad!😔
injection? so sad. she was a sweetheart.
Sometimes it's hard to believe in God.RIP Emma, sing like a angel and fly free
The exact same thing here - I looked her up and read the same (except she passed in mid Feb) 😢
So sad 😞
Bless you Emma Jones. I watched this tonight and looked up Emma Jones who sang Ave Maria so beautifully. Devastated to read she died last month after a battle with cancer. Absolutely tragic.
She had a beautiful voice. I’m devastated to hear she passed too😭😭😭.
So, so sad. She had a beautiful voice ❤😢
Prayers and Condolences for her family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh that is sad. She was so young. There is some comfort in knowing she had at least one glorious moment in her life. And from her manner on that stage, her soul seemed as pure and true as her voice. Condolences to the bereaved.
😢😢😢😢😢
What bugs me is that the panel always make a big deal out of supporting people who have been bullied, but when Susan Boyle was about to sing they were making faces, rolling their eyes, etc. While that may not be blatant bullying, it is a form of micro bullying. They were basically sneering at her based on how she looked and acted, even though she wasn't being mean or unkind and was perfectly polite. A little odd by most standards, maybe, but polite. And that is how bullying usually starts. People make assumptions about someone based on superficial things and then pick on them or dismiss them or are mean to them. Rolling eyes at someone and smirking, etc., is mean as far as I'm concerned. They don't usually do this, but they ought to check themselves. What if Susan HADN'T been the amazing singer she was/is? They might have continued with their rotten attitude. I'm SO glad she proved them wrong about her in a multitude of ways! Simon did the same thing with his eyes when Eugene the Librarian came out.
Jun 3, 2024 - Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist Emma Jones has died aged 32 after being diagnosed with cancer, her family have confirmed.
Micro bullying hahahahaha
@@keegan8517 Yeah, like microaggressions. That's a thing; so why not microbullying.
Imagine not knowing that Got Talent is scripted.
Audiences are so fickle, they can hate you and in the flick of a switch, love you. This really shows the dangerous power of mob mentality.
Absolutely.
Or love you one minute and hate you the next...!
no they are just commanded what to do.
No, This really shows the dangerous power of GULLIBLE people thinking TV is NOT staged...
I would actually argue the complete opposite.
First of all, I don’t agree that the audience is ever expressing hate or love. I would argue that the audience is communicating, boredom or excitement/interest.
Secondly, and most importantly, I would argue that the audience is completely honest. They don’t care about making judgements and are in an environment where giving feedback is the norm. They are unrestricted and then display their thinking in an unfiltered way. I would argue that while judgement is flimsy, it is possibly one of the most honest forms of communication exhibited today.
The guy with no legs He is sooooo handsome GOD. BLESS THIS. WONDERFUL MAN
Inspiritional. Seems an inadequaite word. I feel honoured and humbled to have witnessed this performanced this performance
Everybody Hurts is my go to song when I'm missing my parents! Thank You Father Ray you sang this song from your heart and brought this 62 year old woman to tears!!💯☝️🎤😢♥️
R.I.P Mom & Dad🕊️💔 Can't wait to be with you both again!!
Do something you wanted as a kid. Something epic
❤ DON'T WASTE MORE OF OUR TIME SECOND SINGER! ❤
Thankyou for this sweet loving comment...Miss my wonderful parents so much too 😢
@@lifesabitch8012 You’ll be with them soon enough. Enjoy your time on Earth.
The 80 year old dancer lady was absolutely amazing. She has the legs of a twenty five year old. What an inspiration to seniors everywhere! God bless her!!!!!
OMG - openly wept when Father Ray sang. What a beautiful performance! So honest and full of emotion. I think everyone who has ever gone through tough times felt he was singing directly to them.
I didn’t cry but it touched my soul and that’s a lot for me. I love that song but
I loved the way he sung it. Go Father and please keep singing, your voice is so
beautiful.
62 Years old. Me also.
Honestly, yeah. His voice is nothing special techincally but the way he sang it just touches the soul.
That R.E.M. song was almost the end of me when I was younger. Hearing this amazing performance and the sincerity with which he said "hold on" really plucked at my heart-strings.
Yes he Really Did. Touched my heart so so Deeply
Thank you Father Ray Kelly. You sang with intense sincerity. It’s a message that needs to be heard around the world. ❤
You could hear he believed in what he was saying. Very real. And the crowd felt it.
He should have got a golden buzzer
All the feels ❤❤❤
He was beautiful!❤️
WHAT A BEAUTIFULL MAN IN EVERY SENSE.FATHER I LOVE YOU GOD BLESS YOU,!!
Fra.nk from American .pickers
Father Kelly had me ugly crying after watching this. He's amazing and if he was in my area, I'd probably start going back to church. I lost my beloved cousin to suicide so this struck home to me. Thank you Father Kelly for doing that song.
Father Kelly , Chris and Leahs wedding is hilarious , it's probably what got him invited to audition
I lost my son to suicide on June 5 23! He was 23 years old! 😭😭😭😭😭
I just went through my contacts the other day, just to realize 10 of my contacts were dead and 6 by suicide. It was kinda sad.
Just a reminder for you love!🩷
I pray for you and your family. God loves you and is with you every step of the way🙂↕️😊
RIP Emma Jones ! Such a beautiful angelic voice you had !! Sing with angels now dear love 😢
aw when did she pass
The Father singing Everybody Hurts was so emotional. Loved it.
@marksmith4858 Ohio. You?
Made me cry … it was beautiful ❤
when i go .....i hope he sings this
Was average at best.
@@deanhawthorn5783 Possible u go because he sings it...
This program is definitely the most inspirational , creative , dominant , funny on any media. At the worst times in my life I’ve turned to it to save me from my existence.
Heather is an amazing person not only did she adopt a dog, she adopted a three legged dog, but not only that she adopted a three legged pittbull mix, that is like the trifecta of down trodden dog, but she gave him such a good and loving home you can see it in every move Bogart makes, from his happy eyes and wagging tail.
Yes. Thank you Heather for your love and support of Bougart. He’s a very happy sweet boy and he’s always going to love you. So thank you for caring enough to save him. ❤
Treally good♥️👍
That priest made the sweetest tearjerking truest Contribution to Mankind! He GOT THAT MESSAGE OUT TO LEGIONS EHO NEEDED, NEEEEDED, NEEEEEDED IT !!! GOD BLESS HIM. BLESS HIM. BLESSS HIM !!!!
Never been this close to crying in a pub. Father your voice your passion for the song was breath taking. That song means so much to you. The emotion was shown through it. I shall get myself a pint in your honour.
Why..why are you watching Britain’s for talent clips at the pub?
Father Ray Kelly was so humble. And he did a beautiful job 👏 🙏
Complete silence after Father Kelly sang... until Simon stood up, loving it
Thought i was the only one who noticed😂
Yes, you can tell how moved by his song the audience was.
I think it's called slick editing, or manipulation.....usually the crowd goes wild before they even finish the song.
@@abbytaylor9649 100%. Half the reactions on here probably not even from the same performance.
@@abbytaylor9649 there are times when the crowd is so overwhelmed by a performance such as his, that it takes a moment for them react!
Jonathan, I like way you hold on to your integrity.
Thank you for standing.
Both of you are a team, not competitors.
Wow, when Father Ray ended his song, I think everyone was a bit mesmerized and emotional feeling the compassion he showed with his voice that's tied to his calling, and this is why there wasn't an immediate applause--everyone was just sitting there soaking it up. I think we all got lost in his beautiful performance. Bravo Father!! Also, loved how Simon stood up when he quickly realized everyone was still in awe but needed to start the applause.
It's nice to be able to hear the song without all the clapping and whooping
Hermosa interpretación del padre....me conmovió la dulzura de su voz y la transparencia de su presencia. Hermoso. Traspasó el alma!!
He sang from the depths of his soul and it brought me to tears. I think many sat there wondering who is this man and what pain is so accessible within him. I felt a deep sense of compassion for him and wanted to soothe his pain. 😢🙏 God bless father ray , I hope he has meaningful relationships in his life. Much isolation comes with the collar. While his role is to be a balm to the soul of others, one wonders who soothes his soul and I believe he felt the love in return for his basic humanity that often goes overlooked and unfulfilled. There was an outpouring in those moments of silence of the souls of others who heard him and he was seen ❤
Bellissima performance...padre kelly saprebbe fare anche l attore ..ne sn convinta
Zion is a remarkable person. It was great to be introduced to his positivity. We salute you, Zion.
Thank You..Everyone Commenting About Father Ray,,Which Was Beautiful…But..This Guy..Is A Gods Chosen Angel..By Rights,This Is A Man I Would Rather Get To Know,Than Father Ray,Just Wow,I 🙏🏻 God Continues To Bless Him🙏🏻❤️🪽
That's because most people didn't get to watch Zion's performance, his incredible.
I think we all salute Zion :D - Grateful for his apperance.
The silence following Father Ray was just letting all that magnificence settle.
The 2 students whose music teacher gave them a push, Simon wrote them off. He didn't even ask what they were singing. He just kind of brushed them off when he told them to go ahead. Boy was he shocked!
It’s amazing how energy is transmitted through the voice. Father Kelly… wow. It’s hard to explain to someone that is technically proficient but has no soul or is disconnected from the music how important it is to share that connection with your audience, Loved him. ❤️
Can you imagine his choir? Just beautiful ❤️
Lets get a bearded mother on stage and talk about it
Father Kelly I have been so depressed lately. To the point I considered ending my misery. Thanks for such a beautiful song.
God bless Emma, call to Heaven after suffering multiple cancers her voice will be missed , our loss Heaven gain . ❤
😢😢😢
😢😢😢😢
How sad to hear about this
is she dead?? 🥺
@@Ida-Christine Multiple Organ Cancer 😢
Paddy and Nick were awesome. She was not even winded by all those flips. We should all be so fortunate to have a body capable of that at 80 years old! I absolutely love her. And Emma Jones is a force. She has such a clear and sweet voice and her trembling hands just make her so endearing. She does not realize how gifted she is.
Susan Boyl. Can never forget this show that made her so famous. What an angelic voice. Love it.
Never stopped having goosebumps every time I watch Susan Boyle, same shock every time even when you are prepared for it 🤯
Zion, this 70 year old has a new hero. What courage and what a message to all of us.
He lives in San Diego, CA. He does alot of personal meetings for his fans and just charity in general. Come check him out. I've never met him but I'm meeting him fairly soon here. He has also been fighting in MMA alot more, hes wild.
Amen!! He's blessed more than most...
The way people look at some singers disgusts me even the judges. People need to change their mentality and the way they look at each others
I saw Danny Beard preform this for the first time before i had the pleasure of experiencing Rocky Horror. I can appreciate his act so much more now.
He has a great voice.
You can never get enough of Susan Boyle's audition.
Definitely can't
I could watch it a hundred times a hundred!!!!❤❤❤
I remember one of the late night comedians re-running the tape and he just sat there mesmerized, as did all of the audience. I will never forget that audition!
Zion Clark you are the definition of never giving up and amazing
I love the 80 year old and her partner dancing!! Simon jumped the gun.. they are amazing!! ❤
I loved Father Ray Kelly. He delivered such a beautiful rendition of that song. May Our Father Almighty continue to spread his love, joy, and peace throughout the world. God bless him.
Here it is many years after Susan Boyles original audition and I'm struck by what a genuine person she was then and seemingly happy. I hope she is happy today.
Like I’ve always said never ever judge a book by their cover every one looked at her like she was stupid and probably was thinking she couldn’t sing
Father Kelly sang with such expression and honesty. I loved it.
I heard father Kelly just when I needed him ....ty ty ty ...was so moved I am crying as I speak ...
Spoke directly to my soul ❤
Same here
Father Ray is absolutely a talented singer who happens to be a priest! His heavenly voice touched me to the core! The judges should have given him the golden buzzer!
The Father nailed this song. What a beautiful way to touch the soul. Hold on, indeed.
Rest in Peace Emma Jones. Your cancer battle is over, Sweetheart. May angels sing you to your rest.
❤
😢😢😢
How old was that angel
Whaaaat?????😮 She died?? When??
😢🙏
80 years old and she wasnt even out of breath . Very inspirational
I know. I was hurting through the whole act. Did you check out her legs? She’s in incredible shape
Exactly! None of them on that stage can do that!!!!
Emma Jones... So very refreshing and Professional....Saddened at her passing....RIP EMMA
That little 80 year old lady got tossed around like a rag doll and didn't break a sweat. Meanwhile, I'm 40 and I threw my back out yesterday by sneezing.
Oh my lord!! Must have been a big sneeze.!!
🤣🤣
I can relate. 😅😂
@@barbarapalmer8224oh my gosh!!!**
Damn I’ve just squeezed my bowel bc of your comment 😅
I was so waiting for "Dev" at the end there to ask Simon, "So Simon. what time shall we be expecting you home tonight?" Cheers!
Lol right 😂
He did mention I have company
Lol
You can tell most didn’t watch the whole 2hour video based on comments, but honestly Emma Jones singing Ave Maria is one of the most precious performances ever. Even folks who front as “normal” love these videos because we all know that inside we are all a little broken and we all hope others will also see some glimpse of eternal perfection in us as well. We live vicariously through these amazingly brave people putting themselves up for ridicule or glory.
True 👍
perfectly said, exactly what i'm feeling.
Most probably didn't make it past "Sonny". Probably didn't make it to the end of that bit.
Sadly Emma Jones passed away from cancer on the 14th February this year. She's singing with the Angels now.
How Susan Boyle didn't win that season is beyond understanding. Truly inspirational.
Simon made sure Susan got a contract. Susan Boyle is very ill.
Amanda pressed the button not just for her grandmother, but for all the grandmother's.., widows, aging women..and those too afraid to come out due to whatever... How sentimental and sensitive of Amanda.. amazing
Beautiful comments..great laughs
Simons face when he saw Gingzilla… the fan to cool down 😏
The look Paddy and Nico gave Simon when he buzzed them was priceless! It so clearly said "Just you wait!" It was almost like it was on cue!
Oh I thought the same 😂
Simon: buzzed'em
Paddy and Nico: Oh we'll see about that!😠🤨😈
Thanks!
❤️❤️❤️
❤Gingezilla is my cousin!!Always a bit of a wild child,but never knew he had it in him to do this!!😂
My favorite audition!! Such sass and beauty. Loved it ❤️
Okay, Alfie has chosen well, this is my go-to song these days! ❤🔥
Susan Boyle is a legend... What a beautiful voice she has...!
And the cat... the cat... was fantastic! I didn't know that presentation.
