Bravo!!!!!

I have not heard this man sing before I found this,what a voice!

I have recently discovered this man here on KZfaq WOW doesn’t even come close ,he has the most amazing voice and talent why haven’t we seen more of him over the pond.

Magnificent. Check out his Some Enchanted Evening at the same concert- breathtaking, like a new song.

I had seen Brian Stokes Mitchell on television but I had no idea he had such a magnificent voice! I am chills from head to toe, it was stunning!!

What is amazing (beyond the voice for which there are no words) what it takes to sustain such a long song

R&H could write a waltz! This actor nails it!

What a voice.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A tribute to the Greatest Generation.

I just hold my breath at the ending...I lost my love after 30 years and this song just just makes me so emotional. Once nearly was mine...so close.

Beautiful.

I'd never heard him sing before--I only knew him as an actor. Wow!

Anti racist... love it...thank you Richard Rogers and good old Oscar...they knew the score even then....

Sublime! Simply perfection.

It gives me goosebumps. What a truly wonderful performance. Takes me back to my highschool days playing in the orchestra for South Pacific. Thank you.

I still weep when you sing this. Many thanks.

The definitive Emile LeBreque

Magnificent

With all due respect to this singer he has a nice pleasant voice ,but Georgio Tozzi is in another class with deeper,mellower tones and perfect diction

I've only these last few days come upon this whole concert, watching of which has been a joy. One of those times one would have liked to be in the audience. Reba was a revelation. Baldwin was ... well let's skip that one. But this gentleman was excellent throughout. And his delivery of this song ...Oh my! Utterly utterly sublime. Shivers up and down listening. As others have said, its being live adds another level. Totally wonderful.

How I adore Brian Stokes Mitchell. He sings, and I melt. What a powerful, perfect talent.

Fantastic performance

He defined that song. It's now his.

Easily the best version of this song. Absolutely stunning.

Excellent, if a little spread on top. But dramatically better than most contemporary interpreters.

One of the greatest performances ever. EVER!!!

I was fortunate to see him perform a while ago and was enthralled. He even directed a love song towards me. I melted... He's a superb performer and fabulous singer!

WOW

Superb performance! Perfect, emotional, mesmerizing: he had the whole audience and even some of his fellow cast members enthralled and me as well.

I did not know about that sung lead-in ("I was cheated before...") until my old high school did South Pacific. Now, the show seems incomplete without it. I'm glad revivals have added it back in.

Perfection! How wonderful that performance was.

Have been viewing this everyday for weeks now. It’s so exceptional!

Some nights everything just comes together. A brilliant moment. Many truly great voices have sung this - Ezio Pinza! Giorgio Tozzi! - but somehow this live recording may be the best version ever.

I forgot to mention I have a youtube channel. I am 84 years old and started learning how to sing February 2019. I started with a good bass baritone ending at C2 and high note D4. I now can sing with a much better tone down to A2 and can hit G5 but am working to get good control of the higher notes.

I have a very similar voice in this range (over 3 octave range chest voice). I sing in all types of voice baritone bass (this), baritone, tenor, lyric tenor (highest tones say above about D5). I don't remember if I uploaded this (boy do we sound similar). My highest note is probably better than his (heading to baritone).

He takes my breath away. He captured all the pathos of this lyric and music. This is the seminal performance of this nearly was mine.

BRAVO 👏!!!!!!

Bravo!! AMAAAAZZZZZING!!!!!

Sung with pathos that I have never heard before . I loved ezio pizza singing this beautiful poignant lyric by Oscar Hammerstein and music by Richard rodgers but this performance touches me to the depth of my being. Bravo.

Without compare. Simply the best of the best of the best.

THE definitive performance of this song. Absolutely radiant!

Blew the doors off that song. Wow. And I don't even care for this play.

Just fantastic, beautiful voice, beautiful song.

You! Are extraordinary!! Brian!!

My husband and I just love this! This guy really delivers! Have watched this dozens of times!

All singers have moments when they catch magic in a bottle and the genii comes out. True professionals can do it for each song. Julie Andrew's is among the best. Brian is another. Superb performance.

Brian Stokes Mitchell has one of those voices that even if he sang the alphabet song, you could cry. So beautiful, and his voice too! Oh, let’s face it. Nobody reading this comment would kick him out of their bed!

I agree that he is a superb artist. That said, this rendition is too slow, losing all sense of the slow waltz that it is.

I have been so attached to South Pacific since I was a teen. Razanno Brazzi (sp) sang it for the original movie. This performance is so passionate, so heart felt, so believable that I cry each time I hear it. What artistry.

He is just incredible in everything he does.
