I love Alfie Boe so much, he’s an amazing tenor. I’ve met him too and he such a lovely man. He’s incredible.

I am a hard core Colm Wilkinson fan on this song. But I adored Alfie singing it, and his performance in the show as well. He's wonderful!

Aside from his solo career Alfie Boe also records and tours with Michael Ball, who was the original Marius in Les Mis. He sings "Bring Him Home" in almost every concert (usually a bit better than in the video you saw) and the two of them sing everything from "The Prayer" to "Wham" and "Queen" covers. They're a hoot to watch. I think you'd enjoy them.

Oh, my! Tears at the first note! I love this song from “Le Mis”! An amazing singer! The standing ovation is the highest honor a singer, actor, or music performer can receive. It means you have touch the hearts and soul of the audience. Thank you, Ty! Now where did I put my box of tissue? I need to wipe my tears. 😭❤️

Empty chairs at empty tables is another beautiful song from Les Miserable which would be a great follow up to this. It is the song that the boy who is prayed for (Marius) sings when he survives. I would suggest the rendition by Michael Ball.

Alfie Boe is great. However, when the writers were constructing this song for Les Miserables they crafted it specifically for Colm Wilkinson's voice.

Alfie is just amazing! His voice can be booming with power and then feathery soft, and so moving! His performances with Michael Ball is excellent as is funny.

That was beautiful! Yes, I've caught myself speeding when I have rock music going and going slower with calming songs. When I was in my early 20's I would be on a back road and start breaking to the beat of a song, or..kind of swerving from left to right with the beat. Sometimes my Mama would be with me and she would actually laugh. I told her I was making my car dance. I finally stopped when my husband told me I would ruin the brakes. I had the fastest car in town...383 Magnum engine. The silly things we do at a young age..did some racing, too..won every time!

Well. If you're going to go to the Les Miserables route, I HIGHLY recommend Philip Quast, "Stars".

Alfie Boe is an absolute legend of musical stage. In the UK, he is seen as one of, if not the best. If you’re interested in listening to some musical stuff, say the word. I’m sure loads of people would be pleased to suggest stuff. I def would, but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Heart wrenchingly beautiful.

Alfie's guitarist/Musical Director is a dear friend of mine - Murray Gould, fantastic musician and all round lovely chap! The venue is the Royal Albert Hall. The man who got the speeding ticket, was he listening to 'Highway Star' by Deep Purple by any chance? Murray's also played with some of the guys from that band also.

Alfie Boe has an incredible voice. This song in particular always gets me. It’s a song near the end of Les Miserables when his character has saved a young man who is in love with his daughter. This song is his plea to god to save the young man’s life. It truly feels like a prayer.

No one can sing this beautiful song like Alfie

MRM, Not sure if you realize it or not, Ajfie Boe (in the white shirt) was one of the Four Tenors version of Bring Him Home you reviewed on December 8, 2018... Doesn't take away from.this version. This is a fantastic song from Les Miserables.

What a beautiful voice and song! Can't get much better than that! Koodos to your cousin for this suggestion 🖒 And yes, music has made me drive a little faster...lol

I love this song and Alfie Boe. I first heard it in a small country music club sung by Gary Morris. He has a beautiful tenor voice too.

Alfie is a newer version in the role of Jean Val Jean. Shocker.. He was a truck driver that was discovered to be an amazing Tenor. This song is a Prayer for his daughter's love as he may die in the French Revolution. I saw this on Broadway. One of the top 3 shows ever

Alfie is my Jean Val Jean, saw him live and was just AMAZED him, you should watch the Bring Him Home quartet, its the 4 most popular Jean Val Jeans, and some of the men mentioned in other comments here sing with him.

If you want to check out Ball & Boe, go to Linda Wellington's site.

It's a prayer. Josh Groban does an EXCELLENT version of this song. Hugh Jackman ( Yes, Wolverine!) Does a good version in the movie of the musical play "Les Miserables"

I got to hear him sing this song in person and I had chills. The goosebumps went all the way to the top of my head.

Just for your comfort with the title of the show this is from. The show is, Les Miserables. It’s pronounced, (Les) Lay (Miserables) Miz-er-AH-bleh. Tough one. Great reaction to a great performance by a great vocalist. Saw him in person. He sang everything from opera to rock to blues to pop to rap! You are the only reactor I’ve watched who invites viewers to review your content before subscribing. I did and…I did! 👍👏👏👏💞

If you have never seen Les Miserables, RUN to the theater to see it the first chance you get. It is one of the most beautiful stories of faith, love, repentance, and redemption ever.

My 3 month old grandson likes the Ernest Tubb song Walking the floor over you when he's fussy.

Wow, was NOT expecting this, Loved it!!

I always think of my prayer for my grandchildren.

Oh so beautiful

You need to hear Colm Wilkinson's version.

Saw him performing this in West End Les Mis, he has more emphasis in acting in that setting, and with context, makes the performance so much better.

For musical songs try Gethsemane done by Steve Balsamo

Ahhh.from Les Miserables...beautiful.

Colm Wilkinson is the best at this song, the original Val Jean, checkout Colm at the Les Mis 10th anniversary concert at Royal Albert Hall, there is no equal.

This is one of the main songs of Les Miserables, so great and powerfull song... Alfie Boe, in my opinion, is one of the best Valjean, ,who played the character on the 25th anniversary of the play, and also on Broadway, soooo goood... A very well trained Tenor...Please consider to watch the song "STARS" (Norm Lewis or Phillip Quast... very good.

This is a prayer

Sweet, sweet tones. Wow.

The best #24601 you'll ever hear...sorry Colm and JOJ. Alfie said that whether it's a Les Miserables performance or one like this, he always sings this song as what it was when Les Mis was written..a prayer.

See Hugh Jackman Les Misérables movie. There is music there that will tear you up and bring you to your knees.

I would suggest that you listen to David Phelps this song. Best version hands down.

Go watch Les Mis, lots of great music.

'Top that' as they say.

I'd love to hear your opinion on Colm Wilkinson's rendition of Bring Him Home (the 10th anniversary version) or Tennessee Waltz (the RTE version) :)

Try this, put Glen Campbell's Southern Nights on loud. Hold your arms straight out to the side, then try to resist someone trying to pull them down. You won't be able to resist at all. The beat of that song makes your brain think you're having a heart attack and the strength will leave your limbs. There's a Stevie Wonder song that has the same effect, Sir Duke I think.

Les miserable the film.When Russell Crowe was singing "Prisoner 8426 " (or whatever it was) all I was thinking was Tommy Tuetone ripping off 8675309.

5:30 - LOL!

If you'd like a non opera version (To me, Alfie comes across like someone who should be sharing the stage w/the *Three Tenors* vs on Stage signing a *musical* ) , look up *Jan Werner ~ Bring Him Home*

You have some really good vibrato too!

Les Miserables--epic tale

Aaron Watson Texas lullaby

Hi. I love Les Miserables. They don’t make musicals like this anymore. Please react to Stars from Les Mis sung by Philip Quast. He plays police inspector Javert who has spent years hunting down Jean Valjean (prisoner 24601).Thank you.

Would it be possible for you to take a look at a band named the verve singing the drugs dont work the lead singer lived at the top of my street when he wrote this it's a great song I'm sure you'll appreciate it thank you.

You need to listen to what might have been by little Texas

This IS very CALMING, SHOULD TRY DIMMING THE LIGHTS AND, lie down WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED

Great song to fall asleep to. I wouldn't last long after snacks are gone at an opera.

Encore

Les Miserables is the story of how a man was placed in prison and hard labor for life. He escaped and became a rich man but a policeman had been hunting for all his life. When he finally found him, they guy saved the Cops life. The cop eventually commits suicide because he realized he had been wrong all his life. It ends with the beginning if the French Revolution.

Hey please please react to evanescence lost in paradise live in germany it’s acoustic version or react to evanescence the change from the same show live in germany both are beautiful songs

Before I even listen to your response, I just wanted to say that I've heard a better performance of this song by Alfie Boe. Now I'll listen to what you have to say.

This song is from Les Mis & is a prayer to God that Jon Valjean makes to save a young man that his daughter is taken by. This is at the barricade built by French students. I hated the ending & the start. I don't like his falsetto at all & I know this song.

hmm ... I prefer Alex Kirl doing this on britains got talent.

E : I have two pet peeves, ....”lip syncing ”.....,and “auto tune”. 👎

Alfie is good ,but Colm Wilkinson will always be my favorite Jean ValJean.
