JOHN OWEN JONES BRING HIM HOME ON THIS MORNING

[bwings03]

Just Brillant!!!!

[bullrunt3]

Lip Synch in Progress

[CrazyGood88]

Alfie will now and forever be my Valjean and JOJ will forever be my Phantom. this man is magic.

[Loehnwolf]

@CrazyGood88 I almost agree with you, I LOVE Alfie, but his voice is more Opera and Valjean is a common man, thats why its gotta be Colm and JOJ first and foremost. Don't get me wrong Alfie is brilliant, just too brilliant I think

[CrazyGood88]

@Loehnwolf Just TOO brilliant...I will have to agree on that. I love Colm as Valjean as well. JOJ just never ceases to amaze me, though. I love his innate ability to easily transition from his head voice to his earthy tones. The tenors in this genre of music are just so diversely talented, it is no easy feat to say that one is better than the other. What they each separately bring to this genre is nothing short of awe-inspiring and squee-worthy. This including Ramin Karimloo and Ben Lewis ;-)

[RandomInfusion]

God the things this man does to me! D: 

[ameliedaae]

That was amazing! So was his adorable smile at the end!

[1701bigdaddy]

just perfect. very hard to beat that.

[katyanarockercook]

I was in Les Mis in 2005 alongside him (little Cosette to his Valjean) and it was magical, he's such an inspiration - and a really nice guy!

[charley235]

Ive watched like 20 versions. Hes the best

[catarininhah]

it looks so effortless the way he sings...great :)

[leedscab123]

This guy is brilliant I think he is almost as good as Colm Wilkinson.

[TimKoopman10]

Hahaha when he's done he has such an 'emotion-flip', he goes really happy at once haha.

[simisketches]

If Alfie could have shown the emotion that Colm and John show, then he would also be perfection!

[MissyLaurenIves]

:') fuckin love you John Owen Jones <3 loved you from the beginning <3

[BritishAlienCompany]

Oh my word! :D x

[bluetwinklers]

Sigh....

[stlouisactor]

Wow. This Les Miz fan had not heard this until now and, after listening to about 20 versions, this is right up there with Colm Wilkerson...and omg, does he surpass him? Amazing version.

[xShaayx]

@stlouisactor

Wilkinson.*

[leedscab123]

Forgot to add that 2 people do not recognize true talent.

[leedscab123]

awesome, absolutely awesome.

[2w8o1t1e1v9e9r5]

Alfie Boe all the way

[leontagoe1]

for some reason i did not expect this to be good but it seriously was. can not believe how good actually.

[MrSean24601]

I have nothing against Alfie at all, but I really would have preferred to see JOJ as Valjean in the 25th anniversary concert

[WithoutAnAnchor]

SO annoyed that I didn't get to see him as Valjean at the Barbican in 2010... True, his understudy was fantastic, but JOJ will always be up there with the best, in terms of actors that have played the role. :)

[pudsey4000]

hmm, will people get jealous if I say that I've met him, had a hug AND sung with him on the street outside Phantom? I think so...

[fish1335]

he is sitting down! Sitting down and still sounds.......orgasmic, only word I can think of

[XavierCrow]

Wow! He literally shocked me. >.< Awesome. Just awesome.

[TheRachmaninofflover]

The fact that they cast Alfie Boe as JVJ in the 25th Anniversary concert is sacrilege. It should have been John. Should have been John...

[kasia1milka15]

Ok, this left me crying... I believed no one could beat Colm Wilkinson, but now...:) Pure perfection, so emotional and simply beatuiful.

[justliveit05]

@kasia1milka15 I am RIGHT THERE with you. I chased this guy all the way to scotland to see him live. he is perfection, and really down to earth too. I shook his hand after the show!

[kevisaurus]

@kasia1milka15 Alfie PWNS this song, imo.

[MySpike64]

this beats everyone. Colm is good but he doesn't bring this passion

[myka2life]

I saw him in Phantom of the Opera yesterday, he was just spellbinding, a truly amazing voice!

[Lowell1826]

Amazing!!! I'm addicted.

[Evviex]

There are some rare gems out in this world, JOJ is one of them!

[Bean2of7]

Oh no! I always thought Alfie Boe was THE Jean Valjean....now I've watched this I can't decide between them......Am I allowed to have two favourites? :-)

[TheAxelMan100]

@Bean2of7 I'll break the tie for you... both show both power and vulnerability at the same time, which is how Valjean should be portrayed in this song. Both do it SO well, but I'd have to say JOJ does it better. And there's something more unique about his voice. It's clear and, I swear, it touches your freaking soul! Alfie's way up there, though;)

[vassilito]

He reminds me Edward Norton

[IxAmxSpartacus]

@vassilito Holy shit, you are so right!

[teamfol]

He is good, But Alfie Boe has the best Valjean title.

[criple4]

@teamfol I agree that Alfie is better but I would have to say that in my opinion Colm Wilkinson is the best.

[xKaraAnnJx]

John Owen-jones is just.... beyond words

[leedscab123]

The expression on his face at the end of the song is brilliant,he nails down the song.

[dainknudson]

im geekin on his eyes

[45littlemiss]

saw him in london 5 years ago wanted to shout and cheer after he sang this absolutely fantastic

[heringtonchick]

WOW. Every video I see of JOJ I am more and more blown away. <3

[TooBOOCOO16]

JOJ is the best Valjean, hands down.

[andrephan96]

3:14 EPIC!!!! *-*

that "if i die, let me die"

[njishottlikeatamale]

His recording of this from the Les Miserables Live! CD is one of my favorite songs on my Zune.

[dibzyshort]

the only valjean who gets close to colm wilkinson :)

[littleLotte8]

He is SO GREAT!!!

[OneRenditions]

pls check my cover. Thank you!

[liammccabe05]

0:42 for beginning. Thumbs up so we can skip the adverts from This Morning o_o

[Giovanni222]

@liammccabe05 No way am I going to skip past Holly Willoughby.

[obiwankenobi73]

he is the best!

[thunderstormabbi]

i think he and alfie boe are the best jean valjean there is but thats just my opinion

[liammccabe05]

I genuinely turn into a crushing 12 year old when I see him. I'm and 18 year old guy. I lvoe this guy so much.

[liammccabe05]

@liammccabe05 ME TOO O__O

[leedscab123]

Brilliant performance of a brilliant song, enough said really.

[BagOfSticksFork]

@TomTull121 I would love to do the honours

[Justin4611]

AMAZING! :D

[crazyabouthpotter]

Swoon...

[r3dscarf]

Love the smile at the end, almost as much as his amazing voice!!

[Wigevil]

My god, as an actor seeing him do such an emotional performance and seeing him on the brink of tears and then to see him at the very end finish that note and then break character with a smile like nothing just happened once he is finished is absolutely amazing. That man has got a wicked talent!

[BroadwayBeauty90]

His EYES!!! So perfect!

[BagOfSticksFork]

@BroadwayBeauty90 Exactly

[rosie2883]

such a beautiful voice! I played in the orchestra for our schools version of les mis a couple of years ago.. been obsessed with the show ever since :P this guy is without a doubt the best valjean i've ever heard! thanks so much for posting this video!!

[grnday11700]

I never had interest in Les Mis til I saw this. I absolutely have to see the show as soon as I can now.

[BagOfSticksFork]

=( I feel like crying at that last note. he was brought down from heaven

[Bean2of7]

what an amazing voice this man has...and so much passion! I've seen him in both Les Mis and Phantom and he is incredible in both shows!

[NelenaLoveForever95]

Alfie Boe and JOJ are MY FAVORITES VALJEANS <3

LOVE JOJ <3

[sweetwaters1st]

Rhdian Roberts can give him a good run for his money singing this though!

[L1C1T1]

best valjean ive ever heard... such a beautiful natural voice :)

[qtiantian]

Love his phantom as well!

[KristianBressanutti]

wow. o. wow. o. god. wow.

[jgalt7]

His style of singing is almost like it is it's own storyteller, like a life of its own....hard to explain. It's a gift. He doesn't make it glamorous, but it just FEELS right when you hear it....and so effortless.

[BagOfSticksFork]

@jgalt7 I couldnt put it in better words

[evebil123]

I actually met him Last night!! I've got the picture and signature to prove it!! He is AMAZING!!! He's so funny, and such a lovely lovely man!! I adore him!! I went to see Les Mis' 2ice just to see him, and I actually got to talk 2 him face to face and put my arm around him!! how lucky am I!! I'm still hyped up!!!! XD xxx

[BagOfSticksFork]

@evebil123 I am so jealous my sis saw him too. Come back to les mis

[BlueBelle2662]

I adore this man!

[fairgrounddiva]

awe I love John Owen Jones. Ive met him twice plus once during the interval when he has his make up and costume on so that was amazing seeing the make up close up. They spray his beard and hair so its not a wig. I love his smile at: 4:04

Shame they did not interview him. He would of been far more interesting to watch and listen to than some of the other crappy guests they have on this morning. Long may John Owen Jones continue. He is a lovely talented humble actor God Bless Him! :) xxx thanku

[ilovefiyero]

JOJ marry me!!

x

[maniactress]

He just SLAYS me. seeing him in Les Miz was the single most incredible experience of my life.

[keeny2006]

@maniactress mine too. i was in tears when he sang this. i met him afterwards too., he's the loveliest man. :)

[1BeeJenks]

Heard him singing this for the first time a few years ago at the Faenol Festival in North Wales. It was a stunning performance.

[djbrin]

Ive seen him twice as valjean and once as phantom look at my other joj vid

[StickmanDCR1]

he is the best jean val jean! he was amazing when I went to see him!!!

[percycatmill5]

"The summers die one by one"... The collective feeling= Shit a brick, he's amazing

[Ginger33333]

DAMN TOMMORROW'S SHOW, GET ON WITH THE JOHN OWEN-JONES!!!!!!!!!

[fairgrounddiva]

@Ginger33333 I agree with you. I wish they had interviewed John Owen Jones too. He would of been far more interesting than some of the other shit they have on this morning. x

[amylouie1]

I must say I prefer him as Jean to Erik (aka Phantom for those who aren't TRUE phans), his voice is more suited to this role

[TheAtodesco]

WONDERFUL!

[rich88b]

I've seen Les Mis many times and John Owen-Jones is my favourite Jean Valjean!

[beccalou72]

I saw him in Norwich in this and he is the best singer I've ever seen - so so good. Lovely voice :-)

[ilovefiyero]

iam currently weeping

stunning performance

x

[evebil123]

Omg this song makes me cry :') AMAZING SONG!!! I love JOJ!!!

[katyjane80]

fantastic.......can give Colm Wilkinson a run for his money and I never thought I would say that!!!!

[sianyjw]

Can't wait 'til he goes back to phantom! Definitely going to have to do the double... JOJ and Ramin in one day is a dream :')

[liammccabe05]

What a beautiful man :D saw him in in edinbugh late last year doing this and I've been in love with his voice ever since... I sung this at my school award ceremony on wednesday and was extremely nervous xD no where near as good as him but that's to be expected... I mean... the man's god...

[gemini21]

He will be in POTO and I can't wait!

[BBphantom]

is he going to be phantom in LND or POTO???

[BBphantom]

is JOJ going back to POTO or to LND?? if he was the phantom in LND i think i may have to cry :)

[andre184]

Yay!! I can't wait till he goes back to Phantom!! Ramin and JOJ are the best!

[djbrin]

[PhantomLittle]

Mother of God.  Thank you for posting this!!!!!
