I thought I remembered those restrictions from back when I was following Susan Boyle through the contests. You all couldn't see the YouTubes and we couldn't see the BGT site.

Nope - they just appear on Youtube and we can watch them.

I found it now using a different search link here. That is a killa voice. Nothing wrong with big guys anyway - look how big Israel Kamakawiwoʻole was.

that allowed me to view itv and watched the show on that internet channel right after it aired.

That was several years ago though. They may have changed how it works.

I hope you get to see this video (if you haven't already). This kid has some serious pipes on him.

And this is great.

Why on Earth can we not see this show on American TV networks, just as it is???

I think it would be great to have Britain's got talent, Australia's got talent, America's got talent, Canada's got talent... all on the same night in the USA... some one at the USA networks should come up with this brilliant idea... but I will have to take the credit, and the money for coming up with it first, HERE!


By the way, these 2 folks are UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

The good thing is that both are being professionally trained, meaning they know how to breathe and how not to strain their voices.

Another good thing is that opera is the one place where looks don't matter all that much. He's got a great future if he goes that direction.

The You Tube was posted on another site I frequent.

I agree - they should go through the contest together.

Simon Coward is just being his typical dickish self and only looking for the contract (why I am glad Adam Lambert didn't win AI so as not to be forced under that asshole's thumb).

Good on Jonathan for sticking up for Charlotte. They compliment each other's voice beautifully.

the USA.

A group of teen boys from Wales. positively tore me apart in their singing in London two weeks ago.

Why is there not something like these wonderful men in America, Canada, Australia?

These guys sing in their native Welsh language, this has translations if you need it... a song about not being rich and having a good heart and great intentions. Here's the link to the moment on TV, and another to the link to the lyrics if you need to know what they are saying, obvious from their faces most of us know what they are saying, about being a teen in the world today. Well, yes, they are all white boys in the UK, but they have nothing to be ashamed of if they believe the lyrics of the song, no one needs lots of money to be happy, that's a summation of the lyrics. This song is sung at Welsh football, (soccer) games.

Wales is like something many rural and inner cities have in the USA. We are family, facing the same problems.

Altho it might not be an opera aria (or actually duo). It could be one of those songs that the Italian tenors sing to adoring Italian audiences. They often "sound" like opera but are really not...

Jonathan's Italian was excellent. He was really trained to articulate well. He has a tremendous voice. wow. he's just 17. wotta career he has ahead of him.
