- Montage of Jonathan Antoine with
Placido Domingo - Jose Carreras - Luciano Pavarotti
'Core N'grato'
THIS VIDEO IS NOT MEANT TO BE A COMPARISON OR COMPETITION OF ANY KIND; NOR IS IT MEANT TO DIMINISH THE SPECTACULAR TALENTS OF THE OTHER GREAT TENORS IN THE VIDEO: IT IS MERELY TO DEMONSTRATE THAT ANTOINE AT 20; CAN ALREADY HOLD HIS OWN WITH SUCH GREAT VOICES; WITH HIS OWN ORIGINAL STYLE; BRILLIANT COMMAND; VOICE AND PHRASING:
Young and old so many of us feel a certain guardianship of this young man. We were there when he appeared one day upon the world stage. I hope all those who guide him now have much wisdom. He has a powerful voice with a tender heart.
Pavarotti is gone and Jonathan has stepped into his shoes.
his voice better then pavarotti the voice of an angel a gift from heaven
To be so young and to have such talent…yes, I believe he is well on his way to joining ranks with the greatest of tenors.
Actually,... Jonathan was 19 or early 20.
Bravo Jonathan Antoine!! Here you are only 21 years old, singing along with 3 ( old ) Tenors!! Well done, this just proves your incredible talent. Bravo Maestro!!❣⚘🎶
He just does`nt sing for us,he makes us feel with him.He makes you feel the song.
So very true!
Exactly! Jonathan does not just sing a song -he is the song!
This voice is a planetary event! Wake up everyone and be aware of this devine gift. Thank you Antoine.
I absolutely hate all this competitive, hierarchical / quantitative ranking mentality when it comes to tenors. The truth is that Jonathan Antoine has a very unique, distinctive voice, very natural, warm and human - not at all like the brassy, spit and polish quality that you see in almost all other operatic tenors of our time. That's very refreshing. And if those different and distinctive qualities really appeal to you, then to you, Jonathan Antoine is the greatest tenor of our time. And that's not to downplay Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo or other tenors, who have wonderful gifts as well.
I love this young man's voice, I also love how he shows so much joy when he sings
My heart rejoices when I hear Antoine sing. My eyes tear up when I remember the shy fellow I first saw on TV. And I laugh out loud when I remember the looks on the faces of those who looked down upon him as he took the stage. I believe God was laughing too! Blessings on you and yours Jonathan!
As per the old saying: He who laughs last, laughs best!
I have watched his BGT audition somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 times...I weep every single time. Jonathan is one of those artistic gems that happens once a generation. Perhaps once a century. Unearthly talent.
Wow wow just stunning there is no one like him nor will there ever be love him so much.
He has a pure freshness that's uniquely his own!!! God bless and keep him!!!
he already is the great tenor --a voice to melt away and still so powerful.. and as a person he is humble and funny.
When I first heard him on BGT , and heard the full sound of his higher register, I thought he'd swallowed Pavarotti. Antoine is by far the best tenor alive today.
He is already the greatest Tenor that I have ever heard in my 85 years. Thank you Jonathan
He is wonderful already in his young age... but there are other great voices of the 20th and 21st century, too, from dear Joseph Schmidt to Piotr Beczala......
@stockett.... then you have never heard Lianza live?
Sorrry...are you drunk?
He's great but there have been much greater. You must have just recently started listening to Opera.
E....what does it matter who is better than who, through the history we have been blest with those with sublime voices whose
this is beautiful how could anyone not love this song
One thing that is very encouraging to me is how much his voice has developed from his first appearance on Britain's got Talent. I hope and trust he will continue to develop his voice.
His talent keeps growing and delighting...bravo
I could listen to him all day and all night, its so wonderful to have such talent in this country Jocelyne fr Cambridge
Jonathan Antoine, this young man has the most outstanding voice I have ever heard. Thank you Jonathan, you are a blessing!
I know nothing about opera myself but I know this young man makes me "feel" the words he is singing. I love watching his videos, for this very reason. To see his expression on his face as he sings these words just makes the song so much more meaningful. You can see that singing is a true passion for him, and it warms my heart to see a talented young man make a living and a great future with something he is so passionate about.
No doubt he has something beyond all others, that is emerging each day. His passion is amazing.
I've been following you since you first appeared on BGT with Charlotte! You are a shining Star! Please come to America soon!
Magnificent! He made someone who knows nothing about Opera save for the names of famous tenors - love it!!!
His voice is a gift from God!
+Margaret Samuel Everything is a gift from God :)
He is clearly the best for a century . This century and the last by a country mile
God save him🙏
Gabrielle Andrew - 😝
"is he destined to become the greatest Tenor of our time?" I believe so
Outstanding and memorable. Antoine is a wonderful artist who brings that extra bonus to all of us. I feel he is definitely up there with the greatest tenors. He is young and has shown how good he has adapted to this world of operatic stardom!!!! Wow factor for certain.
He owns the stage. Makes it his own space!
He is young and full of excitement about life! You can see it in his every song. I love him!~
Jonathan will be the greatest tenor voice of the 21st century, his voice is already beyond compare & he is only 20 years old, his voice does not need to be mic'd up, he already has a volume to his voice that I have never heard in another tenor.. There is something special about his voice that only a very select few can ever achieve...
I know of no other operatic tenor who sings better than Jonathan. Amazing at his age. He is destined for stardom!!!!
You are so very wrong. I could start a list but I just dot e he point bu if you want me to then please contact me.
From BGT you continue to be a gift to the world of music ans the world!
Just love his voice and his way of singing
Přemýšlím, co se mi tak líbí na Jonathanovi, pročetla jsem si příspěvky a myslím, že to je ta absence exaltovanosti, která mi u mnoha pěvců prostě vadí. Zdá se mi, že je to taková čistá duše a přeji mu, aby ho obklopovali lidé, kteří to s jeho talentem i s ním budou myslet jen dobře.
I sure wished he would come to Dallas, Texas before I move to Galveston next year. Love this kid.
He has such a soft voice, but at the same time dynamic. Beautiful!
Hi Tanya, exactly! and that was the point of this video, not a competition- but to make it clear that Jonathan Antoine does NOT need to be what opera snobs suggest. His talent and beautiful voice are natural, yet as you state 'dynamic'. So tired of the ''opera'' snobs.
Each great VOICE brings his own stylings to the music... at the end they put him up against 3 (great of our times) tenors.... He obviously has an "amazing" talent that almost over took them why try to tear him down. The internet is horrid. HIde behind your computers.. no worry of looking someone in the eyes when you say something bad about them... He has a talent that most of us would give our left arm for. AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, HEARTFELT. Thank you jonathan antoine.. for sharing your talent with the world.
Yes Mell, and that was the reason for this post and video, it was not meant in any way to put this amazing talent under pressure or make comparison it was to show he has a natural and extraordinary voice and at the end of the day, it means nothing that he has not done ''opera'' or his voice is not "mature'' , I would like to say its not "institutionalised" as so many feel is the way to go, this young man is the real thing, beautiful, amazing, REAL! thanks for the post. And yes, many people love to tear down genuine natural talent and 'goodness'.
I was more "commenting" on the comments on the video... 99 percent of the internet is so harsh. This young man has a talent plain and simple. Thank you for posting this. Honestly it makes me appreciate jonathan even more :)
Mell. I agree with you Mell 100%, no other singer has ever had the affect on me that Jonathans voice has and I'm 78. I've heard all of them, fabulous voices I grant you, but not one of them can make me cry or get me emotional like his voice. It's not only his voice though is it? He is just an absolute angel. Beautiful voice and Beautiful man.
OMG! What a beautiful voice. Jonathan, stay humble and enjoy your career.
He is truly magnificent!! Not only a hugely talented singer, but he has soul as well. On top of all of that, he seems like a very nice guy, too.
Jonathan, it was a gorgeous performance. You are destined for greatness, and I wish you all the luck in the world. You deserve it!
I have been absolutely amazed at how Jonathan has his own interpretation of the great arias in opera. His voice is so affecting - he makes me rethink other interpretations - it's as if the music is new again, never mind that the composers(s) lived a hundred or more years ago.
He inserts a delicacy of phrasing and dynamics into familiar arias that catches me so off guard, but when I hear him sing it's as if he alone knew the proper intention of the composer. Not ashamed to say that he can bring me to tears.
+Ole Nielson You expressed what I was thinking beautifully and concisely. It's as if Jonathan came to us from another planet and took old arias and made them new and fresh again.
So true - and not just operatic arias. His interpretation of Empty Chairs at Empty Tables from Les Mis is heart-wrenching, just as it was intended. It's wonderful to see someone at the start of a great career. I have never seen any recordings of Pavarotti or Domingo at a similar age but I doubt that they could have been any better.
Right on!
lhdc1, If you cannot say something nice than do not be negative. You and other web trolling critics do not come with a crystal ball to predict what will happen in the future.
He is Amazing !!!!
Jonathan Antoine is the greatest tenor the world has enjoyed in comparison to what we have heard since the making of recordings was possible. Jonathan's voice and the emotions he conveys, his expression, is beyond all of what was accomplished in the recent past performances (we cannot listen to greats in the past before audio recordings were made to be totally objective). All I know is that anyone who has not heard Johnathan Antoine, they are truly missing out.
He is wonderfull ..... sing from his soul
Hello. I believe he already is the greatest tenor of our time. We're so lucky to have him.
I have seen this young man perform many times and he just gets better and better, I believe Pavarotti would have loved to sing with Jonathan, Domingo enjoyed having Jonathan at the iTunes festival and the reviews were wonderful about Jonathan. Given the right opportunities Jonathan is destined for great things, he will be the best of the 21st century. This was recorded in a hall not a theatre
Wow!! Jonathan can hold his own among the greats. He is the best I have heard.
It is very refreshing that he is not yet "perfected" as some would like. I take him more honestly at this time...one day, we will remember the innocence of the voice and the nervous gentle nature with which he sang. I find youthful voices so beautiful.
i going one step up this is the most beautiful sound on earth the man has a true voice of joy
New Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" per Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. Debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart. Home Performance video of him singing "Nessun Dorma" is Fantastic too. He makes it look easy!
He is unique...no comparison with others legend tenors. He sings from the soul, more important than technics vocals. Sorry for me English. A am from Argentina.
+Pablo Zubiaurre gracias. Nos estamos tratando de encontrar sponsorship de una empresa en argentina para llevar Jonathan a Buenos Aires en 2016! el Teatro Coliseo en BsAs le aman, así que ahí es donde queremos llevar. Si usted tiene alguna ideas enviarme un correo electrónico.. Gracias. e saludos
+laurence de mello Seria bello que Jonathan podria attender dirme si lo sigues en el facebook tenemos un groupo llamado Fantoines Argentina lo debes de seguir yo estoy tratando de que lo traigan para Nueva York, gracias por este video me encanta muchisimo xx
+joseph casasnovas Hola! Mi nombre es Diego Bras Harriott y soy fundador y Head Fantoine Argentina. SI bien el grupo Fantoines Argentina es Publico, no puedes citarlo sin ser parte- Quisiera saber tambien quien te autorizó a realizar tratativas en NYC, porque se bien que eso solo lo realiza el management oficial de Jonathan Antoine.. Gracias, espero tu respuesta
I just posted the same words last night Pablo .He is young and will get even better in the future .Even now he has changed from a nervous lad to international star .
Pablo Zubiaurre all the same ..you said it well .I love to hear him sing ...( and I don't even like classical music ) but now ..im listening
Jonathan you will be the best tenor ever. Keep up.
Bit naughty this montage but it does show Jonathan's massive potential. As so many have stated he is only 20 years old and already he's nearly holding his own against previous greats. For those of us who regularly attend his concerts whenever possible, this is a given. The timbre of his voice is wonderful, rich and velvety smooth. He improves literally month on month and in years to come I believe he will be truly stupendous. We are very lucky to be able to follow and support him on his journey from a 17 year old BGT finalist to the greatest tenor of the 21st century and possibly even beyond. One thing's for sure, his is a name that will not be forgotten.
Brenda Holmes Yes Brenda, a tad 'naughty' but a research tool! ;-)
Plenty of great tenors that have stood out through tbe ages.
This young man has the ability to sing soft popular songs as easily as competing against the best tenors of all time...can you name another that could do this.
Thank god Charlotte convinced him to audition.
We all owe her a debt of gratitude because he may have never done it by himself.
he has the most beautiful and.honest and innocent. .voice in the world
It is for others to write the history for this amazing young man, but for a man hardly past 21 years of age and to be already mentioned alongside the greatest tenors ever to have lived speaks volumes to where he will be placed in the history books, for now I will simply enjoy listening to him and seeing him live at every opportunity I can.
Comments I've read about this young man vary appropriately. He is not yet all the way there but will continue to improve and already has such an interesting quality to his voice. I almost hear a baritone-like fullness, deeper and rounder than most first tenors (timbre? I have no expertise), but then I hear his power and range and am astonished. In some ways, he is the best I've heard.
+Mark Peterson Absolutely Mark and one has to remember he was only 19 when he recorded this & this is the first time live-Pavarotti was 26 when he first sang professionally and this young man has to master Italian too!
He's not the best I've heard in any way yet, but with time, who knows? The potential is there if they don't rush him too quickly.
Mark Peterson Baritone????lol is tenor 😂
@@conchi5882
Well, he has a heavy timbre. He could very well be a dramatic tenor as his voice matures.
NO WORDS. OUTSTANDING. HE IS ALREADY
None of the greats had that voice when they were 19 years old … you should hear Jonathan now at 29! He is magnificent and incomparable, and I feel blessed to be born in the time he’s living in
I love how effortlessly Antoine seems to sing. I’m not sure we’ve heard him give more than 60%. He is already achieving a power and range like those of Pavarotti, but it feels so smooth and comfortable.
Home Performance video of Jonathan singing "Nessun Dorma" is Fantastic! He makes it look so easy. New Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" he sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart.
Jonathan has a God given talent this young man will go down in history as one of the Greats Incredibe Che voce Bellissimo Bravo gli miglior tenor di tutti il tempi!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this performance which holds up against so many of the more experienced practitioners of the genre. It is also pleasing to see that Jonathon has grown in confidence with the realisation that he possesses a voice which can truly move people.
Excellent !
Jonathan is the Greatest Youngest Tenor of the 21st Century Mover Over Caruso Here Comes Jonathan WOW WOW Che voice incredible gli miglior tenor di tutti il tempi Bellissimo Bravo Jonathan
Oh, hi! I'm glad to see you here.
My goodness this PHENOMENALLY talented young tenor must be very frustrated being constantly compared with opera legends in their 40's and 50's.
I have only two concerns for Mr Antoine-one being that if he does train for 'Opera' that the training does not affect his glorious rich golden musical voice and he ends up sounding like the 3 tenors in the clip! - I think institutionalized was mentioned. What for me makes this young tenor stand out is his EXTRAORDINARY MUSICALITY -his voice flows with the music he does not compete with it - only ENHANCES IT.
My other concern is that he continues to be surrounded by people both technical and non-technical who are not only interested in his incredible voice but in the health happiness and wellbeing of this lovely young man!
Gabby Ridgway Dear Gabby please read the comment under the video which reads : Regards
THIS VIDEO IS NOT MEANT TO BE A COMPARISON OR COMPETITION OF ANY KIND; NOR IS IT MEANT TO DIMINISH THE SPECTACULAR TALENTS OF THE OTHER GREAT TENORS IN THE VIDEO: IT IS MERELY TO DEMONSTRATE THAT ANTOINE AT 20; CAN ALREADY HOLD HIS OWN WITH SUCH GREAT VOICES; WITH HIS OWN ORIGINAL STYLE; BRILLIANT COMMAND; VOICE AND PHRASING:
Gabby Ridgway I also agree Gabby, it seems so many of these 'Opera snobs' wish to 'institutionalise' this amazing instrument and magical gentle spirit!
laurence de mello I did read it and did not intend criticism of you at all - the fact that he attracts these comparisons only stand as testimony to his phenomenal voice at such a young age x
And it may be in our time of advancing technology and growing ability to mass communicate, phonomial talent is easier to discover . They've been among us. The world just never new of them. Now we know AND HERE HE IS.
+Gabby Ridgway He already outsings them, Gabby. Heaven knows what heights he will reach!!!
Admiro inmensamente a Jonathan y su espectacular voz! Le deseo el mayor de los éxitos en su carrera, es hermoso escucharlo!!! Emocionante..
I agree with Adam Knight, the temptation of such early success must not be at the expense of Jonathan's ultimate legacy...... His capacity to be one of the greatest of all.
Thankyou, rather like Rolando Villazon said Jonathan needs to be patient for success and not chase the big bucks which if I'm being honest I'm not entirely convinced he is doing with all the self-promo stuff he does and his label intent on making him do Popera album's instead of encouraging him to join an operatic company like La Scala to develop his education.
+Adam Knight here we go again Adam, his "opera education' ! He loves to SING, people LOVE to HEAR him sing! why can you not just accept his enormous beautiful voice and talent for what it is? why do you and others feel this anxious need to insist he needs to go back to school or be under the wing of an Opera house? has it crossed your mind that he may have absolutely no intention of doing "Opera''? Joaquim Cortez is the greatest flamenco/crossover dancer in the world, his talent is amazing, he was despised by the purist flamenco community and seen as a ''traitor to the 'art' by crossing over and being creative with his talent! Yet the public can't get enough of his work! Why do you need to put everyone in a "box"? it's such a narrow minded and snobbish way of thinking, a true creative talent is ''untamed'' and steps outside and does not need to conform to snobbish rules and regulations. That is exactly what Nijinsky did! Kind regards.
+laurence de mello I'm not trying to put Jonathan or anyone else for that matter into a "box" as you put it. If there's one thing I cannot stand it's one dimensional musicians or singers. I appreciate the Classical Crossover genre because it gives artists the chance to be creative and do some original and refreshing with the classical sound rather then stick with conventional often outdated conforms, afterall it was The Three Tenors themselves that originally thrusted opera into the mainstream and encouraged the concept after Mario Lanza had kind of inadvertently pioneered it with his Hollywood-Opera career.
I for one am happy for Jonathan in whatever path he chooses and will forever be a fan of his music and more importantly his voice, it's a testament to his talent that some of the songs he has sung I could never have invisioned me liking if they where sung by anyone else. All I'm trying to say is I would hate it for the people within the elitist Opera institution to discount him as just another Pop-Tenor when if he chooses (which gathering by what he hinted in the documentary) he will try to eventually to become an Opera star. When he visited La Scala opera house with Charlotte and he said that he'd love to follow in Pavarotti's footsteps I think that's what he was hinting at, but he also wisely said that this will be very difficult to replicate in his own way!
I don't know why you continue to jump on me for giving my opinion when all I really want is for Jonathan to fulfil his potential, he won't achieve that by purely releasing the odd album every few years and then touring to the same handfall of people. It has struck me that it always seems to be the same old faces turning up at his concerts and having photo's taken with him etc... He needs more publicity in the States etc like Susan Boyle did to make it truly big, he has a small community of fans over there who I know are frustrated by David Foster's lack of activity to give him concert opportunities since the Fight Night thing a few years back!
+laurence de mello Its because he´s enourmous talent is going to be really wasted if he settles to sing just popera. He have talent to go so much further in his music career and maybe people like Adam and I feel that its a great pity if he just settle for a fast fame!
Admiration is what every listener gives you for your powerful presentation Jonathan, in due course, you will be the world's champion entertainer with your most outstanding and revered operatic performances. Perhaps you are already everyone's champion...
l only found this remarkable young tenor the other day. He already is the voice of our times, and in fact superior to many older voice. Incredible!
Have you been to his Facebook page yet? He interacts with his fans there in such a delightful, gracious and self-deprecating manner. Search for "Jonathan Stavvy Antoine (Musician) " on Facebook.
+Caroline Baptista Axelsson Same as myself! I don't own a TV so are useless when it comes to talent shows. I am genuinely delighted for this young man. I absolutely love his voice
Excelente voz. Sin dudas un tenor que tendra muy pronto nivel mundial. Su decir es muy dulce. Invita a escucharlo una y mil veces. Adorable!!
#2 on Billboards Classical Crossover Chart, this week, Jonathans "Going The Distance" CD, available from Amazon, Walmart, Target, iTunes and Jonathans website. It includes a Stunning "Nessun Dorma"!!!
This guy can do to opera. What Elvis did to modern music
Both naturals. With brilliant feeling and love of how they can bring a song over. Just brilliant.
Exactly what I thought! This is stunningly beautiful!
Greatest tenor EVER
No se lo puede comparar, es único!! No sólo canta excelentemente sino que interpreta de una manera impecable, me inunda de sentimiento, me hace saltar las lágrimas. Es feliz cantando y lo hace sentir.
betting he will be, if not already is... never would've thought would enjoy this kinda music before actually... just amazing O.O
Yes, Gabby. Point well made! Guiding and honing his PARTICULAR sound, which is natural and blest by nature and Providence. And not 'massaging it' into something else it might not have to be..he does seem to have wise management and guidance. And I cross fingers they understand where he should..and should NOT go, musically. We shall see. In the meantime, I so savor that sound..my oh my..
If he keeps it up,he will definately be one of the Greatest (if not the best) Ever !
Extraordinary! We will have to wait at least for another ten years to see how his voice changes before comparing him to The Three Tenors. Jonathan's voice is full of emotion and is a true delight to watch and listen to!
THE BEST TENOR I HAVE EVER HEARD
Jo smith - You haven’t heard anyone.
At just 21 years of age he is astonishing! A wonderful voice and a charming personality, yes he is destined to become the greatest tenor of our time. I savour every moment that I can get to see him sing live!
I love Jonathan Antoine his heart is golden as is his voice of God ❤
The greatest virtue of a person resides on the simplest of his or her actions, therefore turning them into someone as exceptionally great and special as this young man. A voice as sweet as honey can be.
He holds his own among the greatest tenors of our time! His voice is amazing!
Este joven será el Pavarotti del siglo XXI. Excelente voz y técnica.
Yes. Jonanthan has the most beautiful, soft, full voice I've ever heard! I have always loved Pavarotti,.....I think Jonathan is even better,......OMG!
I love hearing him even in 2018! I wish I could go to CA to see him in Sept!
so beautiful ! good for him... probably was teased in high school... how do you like him now ,,,
He is the greatest tenor of our day!
Joann Rust - 🤣 never.
His talents deserve more.
MY God, He's Amazing, Never heard such a More Beautiful Voice, in all my Years, and that's many. This Young Man is already Excelling All others. He, has a Fabulous Future ahead of Him for Sure. xx
YES , yes he is ...amazing
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
This gives me chills.
me too I was gonna say it👌🏻
'And God shall wipe away all tears', but, God will have a job wiping away mine if Jonathon is singing.
❤ how he feels the music! So real so pure 😂😂
A very moving performance, it doesn't get better than this ❤️
The Greatest Tenor 🏆♥️🌺🌺🌺
Jonathan knock them all out! What a voice!
A gifted singer
YES! Jonathan Antoine IS the best Tenor of ALL time. He brings a tear of joy to my eye every time I see and hear him. He is BEAUTIFUL in more ways than one! Jonathan has a beautiful soul. Jonathan, you superspeed them all!!
Obviously you haven't listened to the actual greatest tenors of all time, otherwise you wouldn't make such an outrageous claim.
There is so much in opera which deals with deep emotion, of rejection, and triumph -- sorrow and unspeakable joy. Jonathan has the emotion to bring to his words the depth of emotion -- because no one who lives in the world today with its abject cruelty, which surely could not have filled his cup overflowing to the brim. However, the human spirit has triumphed in him. And that emotional impact flavors his music and takes it from just being a performance, it is a delivery with all the catharsis the composer could have written into it. And it touches that part of us which also has been wounded and gives us hope that there is yet beauty that we can find in life and that there are those who also find it dear and hold it close. That he is popular, shows that the love of culture is not dead. We are not supposed to say that this is exceptional -- yet to not say that is to lie.
I can’t believe how amazing he is you are great thank you for giving us sharing your gift with us
In answer to your question, yes - he will!
Thank you for this clever comparison to some of the 'other' greats! ;)
He IS the greatest or our time. I'm glad to be able to enjoy him. Such a voice!!
Wonderful
can u imagine....Pavarotti and John on the same stage...
Barricade RC - Größeren Unsinn hab ich noch nicht gelesen.
Wow that would be so awesome!!
