Tina Guo is amazing in her own right. I adore her.

I'm 70 and have never seen anything like this.

@@joymcvey8331 love it too

There is a reason she is Hans Zimmer's Cellist for movie soundtracks. Her expressiveness and phrasing on her instrument is unmatched.

I beg forgiveness, I accidentally hut the wrong. Arrow. Such a world class performance!!

yes he has.

Truly. I don't mean to compare them in saying this, but the commanding presence and delivery he has now is very reminiscent of Pavarotti himself.

to be fair Les Misérables is a master class on how to create musical theater, Drink with me returns as Empty chairs. In that Marius isn't a lead its seldom done justice.

I'm 79 and so am I, have been for 10yrs, since he astounded us all on BGT when he was just 17yrs old.

And I'm sure he had bullies in school that are now sorry they treated him that way😂😂

So agree....he is sensational. Doesn't have to act, feels every word.

So, so true. Every time I listen to this song, it brings me to tears. Jonathan is an excellent story teller... How much this young man has grown since 2012 !

Am in tears.. this song is truth. That is why it is so touching..I only wish it was just a song. What a touching performance. Thank you. God bless us all.

Well said....amazing performance❤

💯

AGREED! She "felt" every single note.

You should totally see her perform Swedish pagans with Sabaton on 2019 Wacken. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hL2eqLaLmtbbfnU.html

Yes. It was gorgeous

@@ninemealsfromanarchy7803 Well if you can't feel the music, are you a musician?

she’s absolutely gorgeous too😳😳

❤😢

I thought the same

You should listen to Cormac Thompson sing this song. He is fantastic.

Josh Groban is the only one who can top his version from my opinion

I think you MAY want to listen to those lyrics again. Nothing was to be "up beat" about this song.@@Pallidyne1

@@Pallidyne1 Uh oh, looks like someone misinformed ChatGPT about the lyrics!

This is the guy from got talent isnt it?

@@aus822 yeah this is him

Well said

This performance is going to make me go out and buy the CD of Les Miserables. I have heard so many of the different songs and it is such an incredible body of works.

I can feel your pains.

I mean mate you might have had some idea. The nation of Iran very publicly went through a major social and cultural revolution in 1979 and has been splitting at the seams for at least the last 20 years +.

@@Allagi22 And it was backed by the British Government,

I was so surprised to see your comment here just now. This is because a few days after the revolution started, I sang this song for my friends in Iran. I'm an Iranian living in exile. You can see my cover on my channel.

​@Tina Field Howe ❤

I am an opera fan and love him.

@sandranelson3327 I like his opera singing! He reminds me so much of my son! If I can sneak a recent picture of my son, I'll show you! He hates to have his picture taken...lol

Same he's breathtaking and the fact no one thought he would be good makes it even better!

Until he shafted Charlotte....this @$$ hole is a scumbag

I'm peeling onions pesky little buggers make my eyes water lol

Eddie Remayne in the film? Bawl everytime

This is good, and I thank God there's Johnathan in this world. But Eddie Redmayne's version.... Broke my heart to pieces as I painfully and muffled cry so I can still take each note and emotions in.

How could one not cry when this song is sung? This song is raw emotion and the lyrics are heartbreaking. I cry every time. Jonathan's voice is breathtakingly spectacular.

Mr Couto Thank you for your service.

Stay safe Mr. Couto; thank you for your service to our great USA.

Thank you for your service! Gd bless you and our troops

Thank you for your service and bless you

Love you man!

I hope he knows by now how loved he is.

Ace, As we go through life’s journey, there will be times when life isn’t fair, or we are suffering from some kind of pain! Your response to Jonathan is a noble gesture on your part, and May you find peace, and know that there are people who care about you and everyone else who has been a victim. Blessings to you for a wonderful future, because you are the captain of your ship, and I wish you well.

@@erlingsalvesen6470 This gave me a big smile. I am older now and surrounded by support and love. I dwell a bit much on the past but on the whole I've no complaints about my life. Thank you for taking the time to say this though, it was very kind.

Jonathan you are fantastic I hope you come to Las Vegas and I'd be able to see you in life performance. Much hugs

And now he is laughing well done to him a class act what a voice

This is perfect, and I’m a blubbering mess

So well said!

Two words; Michael, Ball

i also loved eddie redmaine’s performance in the film. it was perfect

@@bubbybets9336 I know a lot of people didn't and it's not one of the best soundtrack versions of the song, but in the context of the movie on screen, it hits me harder than most versions. I don't think it's fair to judge that one without the video to accompany it. The pain and emotion are so raw and real from him it's hard not to love it.

Newest Music Video, Jonathan singing "Io Si/Seen" per Grammy award winning composer Diane Warren's request! He sings the harmonies too. BEAUTIFUL!!! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart.

We aren't lucky, we are blessed to witness such magnificence.

Whats with all the grimacing !! Is cello playing really that painful !! Massive overacting methinks !! He has an ok voice !!End of !!

@@wendycarter5718 that my dear is the cellist feeling the music her way!

@@wendycarter5718 ji.

@@wendycarter5718 Really? Jonathan makes me melt every time he sings. His voice touches my heart and soul. Cello player is feeling the music amazingly and it is not acting, IMHO.

I would dispute that. The performance was great, but I know a few cellist that are a step ahead

@@alexgeiger5305 you would dispute that Guo is the finest Cellist I've ever heard? How do you know which cellists I've heard? Why would you dispute a stated opinion?

I think it's called a discussion.

@@alexgeiger5305 Her expression is absolutely top class, I'm absolutely curious and very interested in hearing whom you think is on another level. Even if I ultimately disagree I'm sure they'd be worth hearing!

How would you compare her to say Yo-yo Ma? Is it simply the emotional expression that takes her above him, or is there musicality as well?

I have the same kind of hair as him, but mine isn't that long yet. I need to know what product he uses!

Jonathan Antoine is the whole package. A sublime gift to the world.

New Music Video, Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" per Diane Warren's request! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Some surprises are just wonderful, aren't they! XO

They both leave me spellbound, my eyes closed tight, reeling. The entire performance is absolutely impeccable!!

I got to admit, Jonathan has an amazing voice! And this is definitely one of the best I've seen! But I personally loved Eddie Redmayne's the most, only because he not only did an amazing job singing, but also vocalizing the pain of the situation, and to me thats very important for this song. I love Jonathan Antoine though XD

@@Jesus_616_Christ totally agree

but this version also good😭

This world class performance by Johnathan and the beautiful cellist, is the absolute best it gets. Impeccable!!

Antonio J. Olivares Albaladejo check the one by micheal ball,

Impeccable performance

That guy’s a fatty - haha

I like his rendition as well... I liked Josh groban's version as well, but not as emotional like it should be, I feel Jonathan nailed the emotion part..

Like his voice is the vessel for the song, and not the other way around. Such respect for the piece. No arrogance like most vocalists.

A completely different person. Amazing how people can change.

voice. So very talented and from an extremely young. I've kept up every way and he even gets better and better. If you can believe that. I just love listening to his voice.

Do you mean rightful?

@@janel342 nah, I’m using the US informal meaning: “very good; excellent”. Thanks tho. :)

I didn’t care for her face as she played.

Does not appear to be shy anymore. Most impressed with the intro and his reaction at completion of this fine piece of excellent singing and expression of his art. Most enjoyable.

@@phlotographer Have you seen his intro for Amor Ti Vieta, also filmed at these sold out concerts for PBS? It was great.If you haven't heard him sing Compass or Country Roads at these concerts, they're all here on KZfaq. He sang Nessun Dorma for his encore! Stunning! On his new "Going The Distance"CD.

@@carljacobson8342 Carl -- I am working on various pieces now on YT as I have not seen the PBS concerts. I have learned that he was in Toronto but somehow I missed seeing anything about the concert or we certainly would have attended as we live in the GTA. I would love to hear him and Amira do Nessun Dorma as a duet. One thing I really love about YT is the number of great musicians etc that one can view and likely would never know about in the past without such a venue for showcasing their talents.

@@phlotographer People flew in from all over the world, U.K. Europe, Mexico, across Canada, U.S. and even Australia for these 2 concerts. We flew from Portland OR, worth every mile and every dollar. He sounds even better Live. He has concerts planned for late September thru October 2020, the last one is in Toronto! Unfortunately with the pandemic who knows. Check Jonathans website for 2020 concert details. Buffalo N.Y. PBS station used this concert for their pledge drive, as did many, and Jonathan appeared there in person to help raise money, you might want to check next pledge drive to see if it is scheduled again, "Going The Distance" concert.

And he looks like my son who is shy and talented.

@@madelineflogel2853 He reminds me of my son too, although my son cant sing a note, he is very kind though just like our lovely Jonathan. Thats what kept me watching BGT that day, not a show I normally watch. But when he opened his mouth to sing I was completely blown away, & I continue to be blown away with him, every time he opens his mouth. He has kept me sane this past year with his magnificent voice.

You clearly have never heard Michael Ball...10th Anniversary of Les Mis'...try it them re-think this statement of yours. Jonathan is fun to watch and rout for but he his dreadfully out of key and doesn't have the range or projection to carry this song meaningfully.

@@glennandrews7689 facts. nothing tops the 10th anniversary

I thought I knew him from somewhere- he's from the audition that went viral several years ago! Wow it's so great to see him so successful. Wonderful.

The kids that bullied him are selling fish and chips.

It wasn’t the misery that produced the passion. It was his strength, his will, his heart. He took what had happened to him and turned it into art

Please buy his Album ‘ Going the Distance ‘.

This and many other video's are from his Sold Out 2019 Toronto concerts filmed for American PBS TV. You may enjoy Jonathan's videos of "Amazing Grace/Grazia" and "These Are the Special Times/Momenti Splendidi"(A Best Video Music Award winner) Both are Beautiful to watch and Listen to. "Io Si/Seen" is per Grammy award winning composer Diane Warren's request! It debuted at #1 on itunes Classical Chart, as did his recent CD "Christmasland Platinum Edition" "Nessun Dorma-Home Performance" was filmed at 2:00 a.m. after a Global chat with Fans. One of many Gifts during Lock Down. Jonathan sings beautifully in any genre and in 3 languages; English, Italian and German. His "O Holy Night" and "How Great Thou Art"(That last note is STUNNING) from his live streamed 2020 Christmas concert are Fantastic too. Enjoy.
