Either that or everyone spends their whole lives training to be that next guy to get close as possible to the Beatles. Oh wait...... Oasis is the next Beatles..... so the damn singer insists.... looks like a battle of the Brits! Cheerio!
C, don't these morons know that every time they alias you, they elevate you to an even higher status, cripes before long you're going to be king Canuck, I already think the clones should address you as sir before they reply to you, I mean the way they worship you, I'm jealous!....LOL!
OK, this guy is obviously a former choirboy. Unfortunately I don't think this qualifies as "talent" especially in a few years once his voice breaks or he gets a little older and starts to think how gay it sounds. Women buy into this shit big time. Pure innocence is how something like this is viewed by some...........but it isn't. Welcome to your 15 minutes of fame!, if that.
Agree with webx.
What is all the fuss about?
An average boy soprano on a chav TV programme. I was a choirboy believe it or not, and any one of five of my fellow choristers could sing this kid into a corner.
The UK is a country with a media that is gradually becoming run by imbeciles for imbeciles.
His voice isn't drivel, but the whole concept of the show most certainly is.
Hey limey do yourself and others a favor go by some soap go home walk to the room with the toilet in it thats a bathroom see that large looking bowl thats called a bath tub get in it turn the taps on turn anti clock wise so the water runs out look for the one with the red dot (the other one won't work it may get hot) and only that one then use the soap and rub it all over yourself then rinse.
See you have just bathed feels nice doesn't it now your dog will stop humping your filthy head.
I mean I like canuck too, but dude really, to get on your knees, face east and worship him the way you do....oh wait, that's not what you're doing, your putting your ass in the air as a display of submission, just wait till brownlove gets up behind you...SURPRISE!
Yo, if dis kid wants my respect he gonna havta bus sum rimes out. Waz he wailin' bout anyway? He dresst nice (gots $), kinda fat (well fed), and gots peps who luv 'em. Waz a kid frum da hood gotta do 2 git dis kinda luv? Eazy-E hada cap folks to earn der respect! Thug life 4 eva!
And I noticed your PM followed that idiot Bush right into bagdad, like the blind leading the blind. The sun sets all over your world today, you guys blew it.
Why do you think everyone on here is an American?. Americans are some of the most friendly and generous people you could ever meet. We got the hell out of England in 1980, one of the smartest moves we ever made. You know that the UK isn't what it used to be. So I've heard your jealous venting, which truely is 2much2soon, now and if you don't have anything of even the smallest amount of value to add....................................................anyone care to finish?
ummm....what brought tears to my eyes was his vocal tone...one might call it tenor, but I'd call it falsetto. I have not ever been a fan of falsetto. This performer's best accomplishment was to hit the correct note dead on, which is not the easiest thing to do...especially with no vibrato to cover a small miss. As others have noted, in a couple of years he voice is likely to change...perhaps for the better (who knows), and then whether or not he is truly talented will be easier to determine.
Ironically, I have always been impressed with boy-choirs. The blending of many levels of falsetto can produce wonderful sound...but just one alone doesn't work, for me anyway.
Listen....I have never in my life posted any type of comment on a website before...I just thought I would to see what reaction I got!!! and I did get one didn't I....isn't it a wonderful world, huh where we all get on so great, I apologise for my comments, I just wanted to see what would happen. I am a Brit and proud of it (sometimes) and you should be pround of being American, I like Americans, and have been to the US many times, its a very sad world when people spend there time writing, hurtful, meanigless, and hateful words, like on this site isn't it? I just couldn't believe it that we still live in a world where (adults) I persume would slag off a young boy, just trying to sing, and got bullied at school (badly) because of it, anyway thats really my comment, so now you can all slag me off to, bye xxx
and by the way Canuck1963 the word 'wogs' is extremeley racist word here is UK offending black people, we don't ever use that word. The reason I used such awful words was in retaliation to the comments posted about a 10 year old boy!!! and British people!!! I can't believe that there are people out there who are still racist in this day and age, I am a white 28 yr old female by the way (not a bloke)!! and yes I was wrong to slag you Americans off, but why do you think you are entitled to offend black people, and 10 year old boys, and British people!!! (very confused) again, its such a lovely world to live in
ignore most of the people's stupidity, you will be so much happier. We enjoyed the video, besides, how bout that face? I will probably never see another look of such complete and utter awe and astonishment. Priceless.
canuck's wife went on that show, but the minute she walked in the room everybody died from the smell. it's like a cross between a four-day old battlefield and a colobus monkey's asshole!
the song is called PieJesu.
regardless of this child singing this song . it is a song of reverence.
it takes talent to sing this song even for a child who in this case is a young boy. i applaud this child to even singing such a song infront of public.
What do you have against canuck's wife? Being nice isn't as boring as one might think. I advise you to go ahead and give it a try, you might like it. Besides, didn't you make enough "smelly genital" comments in grade school? C'mon, now.
My sons--now aged 19 and 22--inherited their father's beautiful singing voice. For several years when they were younger, they sang in a first-rate community children's choir that competed both here in the US (my younger son sang on the Kennedy Center stage in Washington, DC when he was nine) and in Canada (including Simon Fraser University in British Columbia). They were also very active in sports, and yes, they did take some ribbing for singing in choir, but they kept at it because they loved it, because it showed them something about themselves, and about the world, that they wouldn't have known otherwise. They also learned to play the piano--and have you ever heard an adult complain that his parents made him take piano lessons? As my older son said to a kid who persistently gave him a bad time about choir: "if you don't like it, don't you do it; why do you care how I spend my free time? Get your own life." Like a decent education, providing the opportunity for a child to develop his talents is one of the few "investments" worth making. If you've read anything about young Andrew Johnston, you'll have discovered that he, too, has toured with his choir, and one of the highpoints for him was singing in the Basilica in Budapest. How many chances to travel and expand his horizons would this boy have had if he hadn't stuck it out when brutish idiots his age did their best to humiliate him? And without choir, would he have set his sights higher than most? Would he have said that he doesn't want to hang out on the streets with the other youngsters who live in the council estates because he wants to do something with his life? He hasn't only trained his beautiful voice; he has developed strength of character, a love of the truly beautiful, and, perhaps most precious, an understanding that things really worth doing require commitment and not taking the easy way out--and that there are always people who, like crabs in a barrel, are determined to drag you down when you set your sights high. Like Andrew's mom, I'm a single mother, and none of this has been easy, so I feel common cause with her--and with her determination that Andrew's gift, and his chance to earn a better life, will not go to waste.
And after reading these posts, I just have to ask: why does the opportunity to post anonymously seem to bring out the truly ugly in people? Why are the reactions to a beautiful performance so pessimistic, so ugly and nasty? There doesn't seem to me to be much distance between the ugliness that Andrew Johnston had to deal with from other kids and the ugliness that the commentators here have dished out to one another.
I work at a hotel and we get groups from England nearly every week. I've had several of them who were visiting the states for the first time tell me it was very refreshing to see Americans weren't all fat, loud, and stupid like they had been told. They went on to say how friendly and helpful every person they encountered had been. I know there are many stereotypical Americans but it's unfair to label an entire nation. I've never been to the UK but I'm smart enough to know they aren't all snooty pricks with with jacked up teeth. By the way, this kid is incredible!
I have never seen such ignorant stupid people. This boy is incredible, a beautiful voice. One idiot posted that he wasn't singing words, of course he was, latin words. It seems the UK has some great talent, let's not forget Paul Potts, these guys know how to sing and what they sing is truly good music.
Angelically Beautiful%u2026 Andrew%u2019s voice immediately brought me to tears as my heart filled with love for God, for that talent could only come from above! One scripture immediately came to mind as I watched the young man sing, Hebrews 13:1-3. May God shower you with blessings Andrew, as your voice showers blessing on all who hear. (Barbara Hall)
