As an Italian, beside his talent as a singer, I must say I am more than impressed by his impeccable pronunciation. Kudos!
You may enjoy his Music Videos of "Amazing Grace/Grazia" and "These Are the Special Times/Momenti Splendidi"(A Best Music Video Award Winner) also, "Io Si/Seen" is per Grammy Award winning composer Diane Warrens request! All are Beautiful to Watch and Listen to. "Caro Gesu Bambino" and "Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle" from his 'Christmasland Platinum Edition" album are wonderful. "Nessun Dorma-Home Performance" was filmed at 2:00 a.m. after a Global chat with Fans. One of many Gifts during Lock Down.
I disagree, it's not good Italian. Listen to an Italian or Pavarotti. He Sounds more english.
@@thegrubbygreencapsskinner8593 I know how Italian sounds. It is my mother tongue 😅
I am no expert as regards singing. I just want to say I enjoy jonathan's voice more than Pavarotti's voice. I cannot hear problems with it.
I can imagine experts will.
@@thegrubbygreencapsskinner8593 lmfao jellyboy spotted.
Incredible. I have not heard such a beautiful voice since Pavarotti. What a gift to this generation. Pure art.
Better than Pavarotti. He is more expressive.
@@carljacobson8342 why are you in every one of Jonathan's videos making the same recommendations lol, but thanks for the excessive repetition, I would've forgotten the name when I actually wanted to look for it the other day
@@evelynmilne4683 yea no. He’s good but no Pavarotti
We need gems like himself. Otherwise it's impossible to live on this earth.
@@evelynmilne4683 Nah, Pavarotti is better
Jonathan so many of my friends are dying lately. I will be 67 years old soon and realize that life is so fragile. I will be playing you singing Caruso at my funeral because Caruso wrote this song about real love. I have only had one man in my life who I met at age 14 years and we are still together after nearly 50 years of marriage. I still hold hope that before I pass over into the next life that I see you at the opera house in Sydney Australia??
This song is not by Caruso, It's by Lucio Dalla, written in memory of Enrico Caruso.
God gives you a happy, healthy, life full of love ! ❤
Brings a person to tears. That was beyound beautiful.❤
Como me alegra verte dando un concierto. Te lo mereces. Reci f todo mi apoyo y mi cariño desde España

I am italian, the country of greatest opera singers... You are unbelievable. The Sweetness and Blessings of God Himself come out through your voice. You have a sacred Gift. There were in history some tenors with more technical precision, and or more power, but your talent is the Emotional Charge you are able to transmit. Only another one had this gift, his named Luciano Pavarotti.
🙏
This boy sings with his heart and soul. His voice is angelìcal and reveals that he is a real artist.
Hi! Here you have another version! Enjoy it!

Te admiro profundamente, sos un grande.
I agree he sings with his all being 👍
He has everything. Intelligence, composer, talent, looks. He's amazing.
Looks ?
Doesn’t have his health.
@@RW-ij1ci I would like to comment, please. Recently, someone told me that he had lost lots of weight and was doing the best in his life. But, you say he doesn’t have his health. Are you certain of this ? Thank you.
Ma pan wspanialy dar-unikalny glos ,ktory powinnien zamknac usta przesmiewcom i tym,ktorzy w pana nie wierzyli! Gratuluje z calego serca!!!
Oh, my God! I remember seeing him as a shy young man. Look at him now! BRAVO!
Wasn't he on Britain's Got Talent?
Yes, he was!!!
I am so excited and moved!
My God. What a privilege to listen to this young man sing. Another generation or two will be blessed with his gifts. Phenomenal Jonathan. Thank you,
Hi! Here you have another version! Enjoy it!

And he is still lacking in confidence. It's going to go up a level, when he starts to believe unconditionally in himself.
I really don't understand how 429 people dislike this video. I was watching this guy from the audition, good to see him not shaking any more. One of the best voices on planet. Very good job my man!
Jealous . Cant make all people happy. Let them be jealous and simmer.
Envious people did it.
some people hate the weight , but to sing like that you need resonance?
Clearly a mistake....probably they had their phones upside-down
@@ywdwarner 5
I could listen to him 24-7. The most incredible voice to come forward in the last quarter century.
And what an amazing find on BGT!
But unfortunately I couldn't watch him 24/7
Shame about his singing partner at least he backed her😮@thesourcerer6504
So beautifully said. I echo your sentiment ⚘
Beautiful Voice , interpretation of this eternal Italian song. Absolutely beautiful , perfection I I would add. Wow!
At his first audition he says he’s shy. He said he’s always heckled for his size. He is so full of confidence now. As for size, he got the looks of a star. Awesome!
I do worry for his health, though, he needs to take care of himself. He has come so far from that nervous, trembling boy.
I guess his size is related to his extraordinary voice
He did lose quite a lot a few years ago, but he seems to have put even more on now. My concern is purely for his health, I would be so sad if he were to become unwell when he has such potential, and his voice is maturing so beautifully
New Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" per Diane Warren's request! BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart!
@@PippaAT This performance was recorded in Toronto , Canada in 2019. He has lost weight since then, but he struggles with his weight due to a Thyroid issue. Just after the concerts in Toronto Jonathan had a radiation treatment, and just another radiation treatment a few weeks ago due to his Thyroid becoming active again. He has Graves Disease’.
Hello Johnathan, I,m 70 years old now and i have been involved in music for most of my life (all types).Your voice at your age is stunning and it brings out lots of emotion in me----I wish you well in all you do.
Never expected for a voice to completley mesmerize me after Pavarotti's death, but he brings tears to my eyes! This was incredible.
I hope that I live long enough to hear this young man sing when he is forty. He could end up being the greatest tenor of his generation.
Hi! Here you have another version! Enjoy it!

Yeah tenors get better with age
Wonderful. Best voice I have ever heard. x
@@aprilwilliams234 You obviously haven't heard many, then
@@vincekerrigan8300 I have heard many and I still think he is the best. Remarcable considering his age.
Iron maiden fan here, been listening to metal since the 70s but always had a soft spot for a male opera voice. This guy’s audition on BGT made me sit up and listen. This voice is incredible. Absolutely INCREDIBLE
Jonathan's favourite music to listen to is metal as well!
There is really not that big difference opera and metal. Its all about passion.
same here
Go Albions!
true. that there is pure gold talent. rare talent.
I have repeatedly shown people his audition on BGT - because the power in his voice always made me shed tears of joy, and since I first saw that audition, I've often wondered whether he went further and pursued his passion. Little did I know, he's been doing shows these days - and by god, he is absolutely killing it! You're voice is a gift to us all J, so on behalf of all of us, thank you
HE IS THE BEST WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE AND THE PASSION HE PUTS IN HIS SINGING IS MARVELLOUS.
I'm italian and the pronunciation is....is...INCREDIBLE!
He’s a talent this boy
Fa paur si gruoss fratmo Napule
La sua dizione è migliore di quella di tanti italiani 😄
@@marilucelu2002 suoffr e pedanterij ?
mah libidineee!
Why is the pronunciation so important... if he had an accent, so what 😊 ?
When I heard Jonathan in that first tv competition, his voice was so beautiful & his delivery, even though nervous, so immediately touched the heart, within 4 notes I was crying & by the last note I was applauding him, literally, alone in my living room. Then Simon said dump your partner and Jonathan politely refused, proving he was not just a great talent - he had integrity. So did Charlotte - she knew how great he was & how greatly he needed her support. Time has passed. Jonathan has grown from a shy, self-effacing kid into a man who, although much more sophisticated, is enjoying his celebrity without losing his humility. I am so damned proud of him you'd think I was his mother! Jonathan Antoine is a beautiful soul who is deserving of a long and storied carreer.🌹
Sonja, Beautifully Said, I am with you all the way, My Exact Thought’s at the time, He has made an Amazing Transformation! I, like many people can’t get over the dislikes! what’s to dislike about someone so gifted.
AMEN ! His voice is so beautiful. His first performance on BGT made me cry too.
It’s a perfect story, and he deserves everything he’s gotten, he’s so clearly worked for it
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO CHARLOTTE??--TOM REILLY
Sonja, you betcha! Well written, I've viewed Jonathan at least once a week ever since BGT performance. Learned last week that a Walmart trucker known to our family had just discovered Jonathan and become a big fan as well. His fame is growing.
Omg he is incredible...so proud of him... Luciano is beaming
For all those saying this guy is good but no Pavarotti, remember, he is still very young, his voice will mature with time and he will develop more control over his voice in future - because of this, he has the potential to be the greatest of all!
No lol people are saying he’s better as constructed now not in the future
COULD YOU DO THIS SONG!
Imagine playing pro basketball and the only real insult anyone ever gives you is to say you're not michael jordan.
He's already great
Sorry but I think he gives it more of his soul then Pavarotti.
One of the best renditions of Caruso ever. Still able to expressively belt out the huge tenor notes, but captures the heartache, vulnerability and longing with his gentle but powerful voice.
Check out Lara Fabians cover of it
@@georgeibrahim7945 Lara Fabian's version of Caruso is the best female version ever existed and it can't be compared with strong tenors like Jonathan Antoine, Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavaroti, but still Lara Fabian's version is my favourite. :)
Aleksandar Djurdjevic 100% agree with what you just said. Her tone and story telling is something else love when she sings “jes suis Malade”
Performance in Toronto , Canada and he was at that 24 years old. Antoine is now 26 years old and you should hear his voice now. Second album recorded last year ‘ ChristmasLand’. With every penny and some.

This guy is a superstar!!! Holy crap his voice is just perfect for opera.
Trained at the Royal Academy on a Scholarship till he was 19!
I’m Italian… this song has been written by a singer that was born and lived in my city. That’s a heartwarming song and the lyrics just makes me cry every time… It’s difficult to forget Lucio Dalla’s voice, but he was just so stunning that I got absorbed by that atmosphere! Thank you for honoring this song
Hi Sarah, which city in Italy
Thank you Nice country Italy for all бeauty ! From Russia with love ..
@@desteriousshakava9386 Bologna
Another of the many performances of a wonderful composition by Master Lucio Dalla. Beautiful performance, well done 🎶🎤👏
My God, why hasn’t the Metropolitan Opera signed this outstanding tenor yet? I mean, WTF? We’ve all been looking for that next Pavarotti, and Jonathan Antoine is the chosen one! C’mon, Met, sign this guy!
He is no next Pavarotti dumb ass, I mean, he is good, and can be great, but not as great as Pavarotti
@@TonyMontana-lj9mq I think this young tenor has a better voice than Pavarotti, less set and much more harmonic ... try listening to Caruso by Pavarotti, feel how metallic it is ...
@@antonelladannibale8834 lady you with all respect you dont know what you talking about, I can not take you seriously.
This kid is a great talent but he doesnt have the kind of tenor voice Pavarotti had, this kid is great for modern opera
Ioscani Quintero I agree. Pavarotti’s Caruso is way way better
Pavarotti was singing in his native tongue and had 50 years of experience. Jonathan is still at the beginning of his journey and will only improve as time goes on.
The greatest gift of Britain to the world. A heavenly voice the echoes throughout the 4 winds of the earth. The word I think of is majestic
Freddie Mercury first... know your limits
@@tizianosavini6194 Pavarotti kicks boths ass easily
You’re absolutely right . And We , the world thank you for that !!!!
If he's a gift from Britain, you can have him back, typically British over reaction to average singer
@@logangreen3616 From NYC
I can't get enough of him. He reaches the heart with his music.
And a STAR is born!! Brings tears to my eyes
I want to cry, Jonathan sings SO beautifully! My god....
Jonathan, you are god's gift to humanity in these terrible times. When we believe all is lost we hear your voice and the music played by these incredible artists.... How can we thank you, you precious child (sorry, an old mama here).
My grandmother was an exceptional soprano opera singer. She gave me chills as tears rolled down my eyes..she stood a whole 4 foot 10 and small And delicate as a 🌺 flower and her voice was perfection.. she would listen to Caruso records with me and sing with him. This Beautiful Young Man is Enrique Caruso Reincarnated! What a VOICE. magnifico! He is a once in a lifetime voice. I only wish my grandmother were alive to hear him sing💕💕💕💕I hope he makes tons of Records for I will buy them All..
Your Grandmother sounds gorgeous! I hope you have Jonathan's
3 solo albums - Tenore, Believe and Going the Distance. They are all exquisite! You can order the CDs on Amazon, or download digital copies from iTunes or Google Play. He also has a few other songs available digitally, so I hope you get to own them all! XO
What a beautiful memory it made me feel good hearing it I can only imagine how you feel. Yes he makes me cry all the time.
ХУЛИ ВЫ ЛОТИНЧА ЁЗАСИЛАРИНГ ?? ФУУ
He is really amazing. But listen SOS from Dimash
Who the fuck is Enrique Caruso?
To sound this incredible this young is... incredible!! I'm so excited to see how his voice matures and develops as he gets older. A far cry from that shy singer we saw on bgt all those years ago!
I was listening to Pavarotti sing Nesun Dorma on UA-cam and I just let it run while I was dressing for bed. When this recording of Jonathan came on, I truly thought it was Pavarotti!!!! When I looked at the screen of my iPad, low and behold it was Jonathan!!!! I saw you on BGT and loved you and your voice on the spot!!! Congratulations Jonathan! Wishing you and your voice years and years of delight and recognition (which you deserve in SPADES!).
Jonathon is the operatic voice for all of us that can't stand screechy ones. The smoothness of his singing is a wonder.
I have listened to many renditions of this wonderful classic Italian masterpiece, never have I been brought to tears until hearing this man perform it. You can feel his passion, soul and even his pain. Pavarotti was an amazing tenor, however, I believe this young man may surpass him.
Sean,
I feel that you are right on, at Jonathan’s young age I feel that he is better than Pavarotti was in the beginning of his career!
You mention pain, yes - pain lived is part of expression. We live our pain here, in paint and song. On death we depart, returning where pain has never been.
Jonathan has one of those voices that reaches into your very soul. To have that tremondous voice at such a young age who can imagine what can lay ahead of him.💕
In terms of singing technique? nope. Pavarotti in his prime years can make metropolitan theatre shake with his voice.
@@danmararteta Ever hear Jussi Bjorling?
Talk about a voice that can shake!
Bravissimo....la musica parla...non hai bisogno di commenti....Grazie Jonathan e youtube ... un saluto dall' Italia.ciao
His voice brings me to tears
It's effortless for him. He's only going to get better with age, like fine wine.
Yes agree, he is very young, his voice will mature. He is already great, but he will be even better...
Yes so true
Very true he’s always been good but only getting more incredible
And would save the best for the last as he always sings his heart out
Watch Jonathan's recently posted LIVE AT HOME "Nessun Dorma" so beautiful.
Jonathan: you were put on this earth for a reason. You have a god given gift. You give me the chills every time I listen to you which is every day.
The sheer tenderness that you deliver this song with, is absolutely breathtaking.
Brings tears to my eyes, every time I hear it.
Bravo!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I agree. His shyness and lack of self confidence has gone. He now sings from the heart. Simply brilliant. ❤
You can’t imagine how I love this song ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you Jonathan 🌹
This is a song written by Lucio Dalla (an Italian songwriter) about Caruso, one of best Italian tenors .Caruso had a very difficult life but managed to gain fame in the United States. At 1 point in his life Caruso's wife left him, leaving him heartbroken, but only a few years before his death due to an illness he met another woman and fell deeply in love with her.
Thanks Franco Rossi for explaining the meaning of this song (performance). This is really a beautiful performance and nice to know what he was singing about. At one point I wanted to cry but didn’t know why. Thanks again.
Muchas gracias! 🙏💝
Italian songwriters were making it big as part of the "viennese" school of song writers in tin pan alley in the early-20th century days of sound recording. Caruso, Galla Curci, Durban, to name a very few, were able to take European pop-classical music right into the homes of people world-wide on millions of gramophones.
Enrico Caruso!
Jonathan’s versions of music is now what everyone else wants to strive to be! He is the best of the 21st century!
Agree
Patricia A. Badea He was trained at the Royal Academy of Music starting at the age of 14. And he has an amazing voice. Jealous much?
He is really good and such a gem of a human being. Please search for Dimash Kudaibergan - he will blow your socks off... stay safe 😊
@Patricia A. Badea Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can neither do nor teach become critics. Good luck on your career as a critic. You’re gonna need it.
Me gusta más con Andrea Bocelli.
Having followed Jonathan from BGT, I'm so happy for him. His talent is obvious, but his life history built the passion in his incredible voice. Without pain, suffering, longing and joy ... there is only natural talent. He's got it all. Complete training through and through. I wish you only the best, dear sweet man with a golden voice and kind soul.
The way he delivers his vocals and lyrics in this song puts me in a sobbing state whenever I listen to it. I just find peace in the song.

There are singers of opera, and then there is Jonathan Antoine! Jonathan you are in a league of your own!
The power in your voice is not like any other. Truly, the voice of the century. Bravo, bravo, can't wait to see you perform in person again.
John Farnham and Pavarotti previous century
The English for many years have wanted to have a great tenor in their ranks: here you have it. Long live young Jonathan and the good sense to live it...
I love how he control his vocal.....and he sang it with so much feeling.....l do not speak the language, accidentally stumble on Jonathan.....now I'm a fan❣️
An amazing song of the last days of Enrico Caruso, and when he has fallen in love with a young student. He was dying of throat cancer, and this was a tribute song to Caruso, and unrequited love. I have heard other tenors sing this, but Jonathan you capture the heart of the song. Great Job.
I Agree, Joel, I went to see the movie The Great Caruso with Mario Lanza In the 50s. As a young girl, I was captivated then, Especially when Lanza sang with a very young Pavarotti, it was a powerful performance, Jonathan is up there with All the Great Tenor’s, and I have heard a lot like you.
A song about Enrico Caruso, the first great; lovingly rendered by the world's current greatest tenor. A few days before Caruso's death, he was singing in his room at a hotel in Sorrento, being adored by a student. Caruso had throat cancer, tragic and unfair! As he sang, his strength rallied, provoked by those adoring eyes. Caruso was disrespected by Italian opera houses, found love for his art in America. It seems Jonathan knows this story to its depths, it shines through this gifted performance; he catches the moods, amazing accurate diction (annunciation?), grows in strength as the song goes. Brilliance personified. Why is that something that enters the ears produces tears? Some singers polish the gem (the song), very well. Jonathan became the gem, and it is priceless. God, please bless this young man as he blesses us! The cover on the album "Going The Distance" is incredible.
Beautiful comment regarding Jonathan’s amazing talent, that I know the world will cherish for many years to come!
Caruso did not die from throat cancer!
Caruso did not have throat cancer - he died from complications after an operation to deal with an infection followng on from pleurisy.
oh my my..never get enough of his singing,,,,,,he is nothing short of amazing
I haven't heard it sung this well since Pavarotti. He has an amazing voice.
Calm down there man, the boy is very very talented indeed, but don't jinx he's career like that.

I never listen to opera but Jonathan Antoine makes me fall in love with his music. Chills 🤗
My first introduction to opera was Mario lanza ,I would play my Dad's 78's over and over,I watched his films .I was devastated to find out he had died before I was even born .Certain other aria's by other singers have lifted me over the years ,but none have made me want to search out their other work... Until now ..You young man can share my "opera heart" with my first love ...My father would have loved you xx
A voice straight from heaven.
YOU UNDERSTAND IT!!!!! This is the best cover of this song that I have ever heard! Detto da un Napoletano...
This is a romanian speaking, one Who lived in Italy for 4 years. Whoever hasn't seen Italy by now, you should pack up and start your emotions tour. Because that is what Italy is all about, emotions. I Will never forget The places, The People, The culture, The old buildings, The peace under The olive trees, The amazing seas, The soultouching music and incredible food. In one Word, when you say Italy, you say emotions. I have listened over and over Lucio Dalla's version of Caruso back when i was in Italy, and i can say is The perfect song to put on repeat while you're there. This Jonathan guy is remarkable. His voice is extraordinary and i bet he Will be a huge asset for international opera patrimony.
Have you heard Jonathan sing Nessun Dorma, or Dein Ist Mein Ganzes Herz, which he does sing in German, as a tribute to his dear friend Helga. Both are Wonderful.
i'm italian the only thing i want to say to you is that this is one of the most difficult Italian song to perform Lucio Dalla would be proud of you

This young man's voice gives me the chills no matter what he sings. When I first saw him on television standing in front of Simon Cowell, I did not judge him for his appearance but people in the audience did....until he opened his mouth and began to sing. I have been following him ever since and hoped that he would move onto bigger and better in his career, and was happy to see him succeed. He has an angelic voice with such power and control. Pavarotti would have been proud to hear Jonathan sing. He exceeds Placido and Carerras in his talent IMHO. Looking forward to hearing him live on stage.
He's absolutely amazing!!!! Can easily become one of the world's greatest opera singers.
What a joy!! To wake up to this incredible voice & song, even being confined to our homes is more bearable!! Jonathan, you make everything better....
I agree, he is the first thing I listen to in the morning and the last thing at night, he literally keeps me going through these uncertain times.
I'm so so proud to hear singing in my mother tongue and this boy is so talented and his pronunciation is so good and precise that I can close my eyes and dream that these words come from an Italian mouth...
As you know, this song is Italian and neapolitan mixed and it's not so easy sing it so good😍🎶❤️❤️❤️!
And I can proudly say that because I'm Italian, coming from Naples, Caruso's hometown... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
BIG GREAT VOICE! "😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖
A beautiful voice, I have not heard of any other voice since Pavarotti. Well done Jonathan 👍❤
Ola
Love this song. But always wanted to know what it was about dont know why but makes me want to cry
Hi, do you know what this song is about?
I'm curious to know the lyrics meaning. I only know it's a beautiful song and makes me sad..
@@Melsi555 I'll try to explain the sense as good as I can 😅.
First of all, this song has been written by Lucio Dalla, one of the best songwriter we have had in Italy.
Mr. Lucio wrote this song while he was staying in the same hotel and the same room, where the great Enrico Caruso (the most Italian tenor in the world) stayed, shortly before his death.
This Hotel was in Sorrento, in front of the sea, and when Mr. Lucio Dalla looked out from the old terrace of this room (which overlooked the gulf of Sorrento), he felt the strong impetus of putting himself at the piano and playing and, on that occasion, he composed "Caruso", inspired by the context.
The "story" talks about a piano/singing teacher and his young pupil who, for some reason, had been crying. He hugs her, declaring he was in love with her; the hug they give each other is "like a chain", strong enough to "melt the blood in the veins". In this landscape of Sorrento, he gets lost in the eyes of this girl, so clear and so sincere that stun him, so much so as to make "everything seem smaller" and vain, including moments of glory experienced on overseas stages (Caruso, was famous and appreciated all over the world).
And when he saw the moon coming out from a cloud, admiring this show, even death seems sweeter, standing in front of her eyes and closed in that embrace...
I hope this little explanation should make the picture clear 🤗😅.
Jonathan is an incredibly marvellous singer!! Extraordinary!!! Bravooooo!!! ✨🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️
Once again, as I said two years ago, Jonathan is the greatest all around tenor voice in the last 100 years if not the greatest of all time and I do not say this gratuitously but rather I say it based on the evidence.
I listened to and compared the performances of the most famous arias by Jonathan to those of all the other great tenors of our time up to and including Caruso, and Jonathan is truly the best in the class for a number of reasons.
What sets Jonathan apart are three particular vocal qualities;
Firstly, he has power throughout his entire and extensive vocal range while the other greats usually lose volume or something else when they are below or above their comfort zone and their voices become thin
Secondly, Jonathan can produce VIBRATO at virtually everly stage of his vocal range and can control it with ease both with soft and strong vibrato
Thirdly, and to me most importantly, when hits that last high C or whatever is the show stopper note of every aria, and which we are all waiting for, he is able to hit it with seemingly no effort, looking totally natural, whereas most other tenors look like they are in such pain you would think they are passing a kidney stone and you can see them mechanically preparing to hit that note indicating it is not natural for them.
Besides these musical and vocal attributes, Jonathan also has artistic qualities which set him apart such as his phrasing, unique and recognizable attack and timing which is also so impressive and compelling and finally a truly unique stage persona, charming and smiling and passionate...also unique.
The greatest tenor ever who GOD has blessed with this great instrument...Q.E.D.
Magnifico!
He is the best.
I praise God for such talent and beauty!
Amen, and I Have to agree 💯% with you on All notes given here. The Very first time I heard him sing, it brought me to tears, and it still does to this day. Not putting Charlotte down, it's just that Jonathan is a Natural and you can tell he Loves what he does, Sang. I say Sang, because song is just a simple word to me, but Sang? That says it all. So yes, You hit the nail, Right on the head with All you said here. Beautifully said, and Agreed. Angela from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now. I started listening and loving Opera since it first appeared on PBS in eastern North Carolina. I hope that Everyone here, including you, your family and friends, Have a Safe, Blessed and Wonderful week... ❤️🤗👑💐👑🤗❤️💯🎼🎙️🎶❤️🎶🎙️🎼💯❤️🤗👑💐👑🤗❤️
Did you not see him shaking and blinking uncontrollably in that last note here? Lol and it also wasn’t as long as the recorded version and was off beat lol
I have always liked opera since I was a child, my grandmother loved this great tenor, Caruso, she told me about Caruso and put her music for me, so that I would know him, I never thought that I would have the privilege of meeting in person a tenor of the stature of Caruso, who is Jonathan Antoine, thank God
So true!!!!!! I feel the same, and that I have lived long enough to hear this young mans beautiful voice, I feel truly blessed.
Lily: You are seriously comparing this guy to Caruso? Ye Gods!
My dream is to oneday to see this incredible man in concert
Absolutely amazing, just like the first time the world heard you on the talent show
This is one of my favorite songs, I've listened to it thousands of times from hundreds of artists and this man still brought me to tears. Absolutely stunning talent and skill. I'm in such awe
Giulia Falcone does an awesome cover of it too.
I started crying listening to this song. So wonderful, so passionate... I love Italian language, language of love.
His voice is unbelievable, but he is singing from his heart as well. Really touching
Johnthan...I have followed your love of the opera since I saw you and Charlotte perform on stage for the first time. Your voice is like a fine wine....it gets better with age. You’re an amazing person with an amazing God given voice and talent. Best wishes for a promising future in Opera. Bravo!!
The most beautiful voice and performance I have seen in my 61 years.
I can't understand a word, but my God the clarity of the emotion!
Caruso is a neapolitan song By Lucio Dalla

His fiction is actually pretty spot on, I thought
Newest Music Video, Jonathan singing "Io Si/Seen" per Grammy award winning Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart.
There is a youtube clip of Pavarotti singing this with the English words underneath. It is a heart braking song. BUT Jonathan sings it by far the best. That is my opinion.
Jonathan you are an angel sent from above! I live in the Caribbean. I am a graphic designer. i lost my job three years ago and formed my own company.
When I am designing, I listen to - from your audition with Charlotte (over and over again) up to your latest concerts.
You give me courage sir. You are AMAZING!!! I am so happy you did that audition. Pavarotti must be smiling!!! Thank you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
You are wonderful.
loo
I saw this guy on AGT and KNEW he'd make it beautiful. His voice is amazing.
Listening to this man sing with such passion is joy!
I remember watching Johnathon on Britain's got talent
I'm one of these people who likes chart music like the top ten
But honestly this guy he takes my breath away unbelievable
I would love to see him in concert... What a voice....
Have Done His Stage Presence is mesmerising-which I put down to his sheer joy in his art - His Passion & His Compassion! Considering How Rare These Classical Voices are & How Difficult The Genre!-Not A Diva Bone In His Body
There was a time when I was thinking no one can catch me like Pavarotti. But now I see a light in the dark.
Thank you so much fpr this beatyful song with your voice !!!
In addition to Pavarotti -- and right there in your "neighborhood" -- there was another voice for the ages: that of Jussi Bjorling. Antoine is so young, and his voice is so good, I believe that in time he could be ranked "up there" with the two of them.
Apsolute privilege to listen to this. No words
Okay, I think I'm officially addicted to Jonathan's voice. I just found out about him about a week & a half ago & I can't stop listening to him. The most beautiful voice!!
I cried, my friend. Thank you for this sweet melancholy.

As Italian and in particular Neapolitan I must say that he sings very well both in Italian and in Neapolitan. The song is not easy but Jonathan, as always, is really great. Bravissimo!!
Dear Johnathon.. From the first time I heard you I was so happy for you. Your voice sent shivers down my spine and it’s an old spine . Thank you for sharing your talent .You bring such joy when you sing.
It’s only once in every hundred years we get talent like this. It just happens to be you .
I think if everyone just stops what there doing and listens to you , maybe , we could have peace.
Hey Johnathan Thank You !!!!!!!
He truly is gifted... I am thankful that I will be able to hear this magnificent voice for decades yet to come !!
Lucio Dalla would be proud. Jonathan you do him justice. Thank you from Italy.
He has a unique tone, it's sweet even when he reaches the very high notes. His voice is beautiful
Oh my...you are out Caruso-ing Caruso. I could listen to you forever. Thank you!
I honestly believe Jonathan could go so much further if he believed in himself and used 100% of that talent to go higher. After looking at his Instagram and how he writes he is grateful but the shyness is still there. He’s so talented
Insecure jiggles
You had better look again , Jonathan is living his life and soaring to his fans . Recently Mr Antoine just finished a new project with Dian Warren and the cream of music makers honor Jonathan Antoine . You see Jonathan Antoine is from God ❤

Jonathan Antoine's voice is so enchantingly beautiful that you simply must cry happy tears. Magnificent in every way😭💖
I remember your first performance with Charlotte, I thought he will be a great artist, and look at you now! I only love this song from Pavarotti (RIP), now I love it from you too! Keep singing with your soul and let your beautiful heart to be listen through your voice. THANKS for sharing your talent with the world. 💜
No idea what he sang. But completely mesmerized by him ❤❤
This young man has a great gift. Truly blessed
