[GameShowFan6]

[mknlogan]

Ahhh! He winked.

I felt my heart flutter:):)

♥

[etm143]

I wish his voice didnt drop till he

Was like 16, I hatehis deep voice :/

[jordanjansen1]

billy you should go on tour and sing all the songs you sang in one voice

[fdjm2m]

@jordanjansen1 not a good idea he had a problem with that song at 13 and now hes 22

[stad97]

loved it when he winked at the camera at 2.15

he's such a natural performer.

3.30 the note was a bit high for him, had to end it early. but that was quite a high note.

[airadoz]

his voice is getting too low for this song

[Derick09999]

Wowo, he sung Flat

[TheAutumBlog]

It's so crazy that 6 months after this was filmed, his voice had dropped an entire octave.

[thaihoang96]

why doesn't he make a new album in 2010 ? I love his songs.

[kay396]

WOw this song is so great. I love it's lyrics and message

[Chloeswhiskers]

what mistake?

[dramaqueendes]

3:32

[snatsuki]

oooh...even the mistake made him look cuter (actually i got nervous too when watching him starting to hesitate and making mistake)..

and honestly i barely find kids to teens (singers) that sing full length songs perfectly in live shows.Usually the songs r cut shorter...

still love this video.....

[minitop1]

When did he make a mistake?

[misskrantz1]

all of us know that he CAN sing,

a misstake is a misstake,

i love iit ..

[MusicEqualsLife013]

I have to give him credit for finishing the song after like his voice cracked in the song. but that's around the age where peoples voices change. But yeah, he did amazing anyways! If i was singing and that happened to me, i would die :) Billy gilman is like my favorite singerrr! I love this song! and like all of his songs!

[bowling772]

i agree with you with the hes my fav. singer..hes amazing

[EruvieBruinen]

You're absolutely right! :)

[fdjm2m]

@MusicEqualsLife013 its really not that bad after being on stage a couple time you learn to adapt, and in this case he did really good because the song had already been lowered half an octave any lower than that and it would had distorted.

[JonasTour2009]

when he winked at the camera at 2:15 part of me died <333

[jgdegracia]

He is really amazing. Incredible.

[orangechallenger]

the host didnt stand 'its good to meet u'??!! oh....lol

[orangechallenger]

i can nearly see his little beard... so cute..

[Edwardoodle22]

its only a little mistake..you are really really amazing!

[MarcineKKK]

I would call this number back then if I would watch it :P

[BillyAndDeclanFan]

omg he winks at the camera 2:15 so hot!

idc that he made a mistake at 3:30 he is still awesome

[originalfredowner]

He raised $1,136,745!

Wow!

Go Billy! We <3 ya!

[saintkimzz]

big mistake at 3: 30 - 3: 33 wew.. but its ok, we all know that in this stage boys are changing there voices.. that's y we tend to do high pitch, small voice while we are using low pitch, its like our voice box is suddenly get compressed or something..

here in philippines, we call it PIYOK..

that is a sign that we boys are beginning to mature...

[wishonafallingstar]

ohmygosh YES.

Piyok. Hahaha.

My cousins going through that now.

[andhaveaniceday]

love billy!

notice at 2:15 he wink at the camera!!!

i love it!!!

he's wonderful

[jully66]

Omg at 2:15 , he looks so HOT ,, ..!

[95n96girl]

it really was sad that his voice was beginning here the first time on mda telethon but I thought it was great because I think that was the first time he sang that song after the real elisabeth died

[95n96girl]

was beginning to change.....

sorry I don't proofread

[green3333]

one of the best song of billy

[BinBCR]

You should look up his song Southern Star. It's really good!!!! :D

[sasarai2004]

how sad... billy's voice started changing during that tym... but he is still a great performer! love you billy

[jully66]

is that really on 2002 year ?

because hes voice start changing in 2001 winter..

[wiiking2008]

All hail...The phone numbers that r on the bottom part of the screen!!! hahahahaha!!! :)

[sodapopzgrl]

props for finishing beautifully. that's the thing about billy, if he makes a mistake (he's only human) he goes on like it didn't happen

[countrysev]

Awesome :D Billy is the best!!

Sev

[phuchongrose]

This is the first time I heard his voice broking. His voice was changing. I feel the tiredness in his voice. He needed rest. I still love Billy!

[eragonluver93]

OMG I feel sooo sorry for him that makes me want to cry for him.:((

[jully66]

my by he has voice broke in this video ???

[nekitapuppy]

i love u billy......<333

[showdoiran]

o bille is bealtiful...

[nekitapuppy]

how the fuck does he sing fake at 3:33 ?

[ndeysofia2]

03.33 he sing fake!

[BillabongNL]

What do you mean?

[annabelle2k8]

hw can it b fake what do u mean billy gilman never sings fake

[annabelle2k8]

billy gilman nvr sings fake n if he is I dnt fink its goin 2 b 4 just a shrt secnd at 3:33 but obviously he idnt bcuz he dsnt need 2 he has a amazin voice anyway

[mycle20]

at the last part of song have some small eror in his pitch! but his good!

[markjtt]

I love how he comes back so strong and doesnt miss a beat after that one bad note near the end. Even then just a absolute pro and ends it beautifully. I think what so many of us have always loved is not only his voice but his personality & his character.

[blasphemy15]

what gave you that idea all of his songs are my fave :) there isent one on my bad list and yes i like his singing and has personality and character :) and more.

[markjtt]

Here is one live you may not have seen. /watch?v=XzqzfoOao9s I used to have a very high quality copy of this vid but lost it years ago. I'd love to find one like that again. It was in vcd format. Keep hoping someone will post it one day again.

[blasphemy15]

:) i was on all of his concert since 6 years old i puted my parents to ride me evry time :) i have all of his origenal songs (not coppys) and all on cds his autogram :) its so owsome also going this year on may again for hs 20 years :)

[blasphemy15]

what bad note lol . there is no such thing ... :P :) all was OK! :D :V

[markjtt]

haha so true. Hey can you check your inbox when you get a chance? I sent you a message a couple days ago.

[blasphemy15]

oh ok :)

[blasphemy15]

eh sorry i cant eschange the musics i have all of cuz they are on DvD and cant upload em on youtube exsept if i digital it whit a digital camera now tho his concert are long :)

[annabelle2k8]

wot do u mean bad note?

[markjtt]

oh, it starts at 3:31, he tried to fix it but just couldnt hit that note. The pitch was off. But his voice was starting to change already so gotta give him credit for coming back and finishing strong!

[nmk9543]

I agree...Though at 3:20 he rolled his eyes at a note he almost fracked, but yeah, I too had to give him credit for finishing it well.

[annabelle2k8]

man i wish he ad his voice bak : ( o well i still LOVE billy gilman

[cassidydellinger]

aww he is sooo adorable....and he is a great singer..and he still was amazing even though his voice is changing...aww what a cute 13 year old

[markjtt]

I've always loved this performance.  Poor little guy was starting his voice change as you can tell at the end. I saw him in concert a month later and he was still awesome! Also, andy801080 is correct, this was September 2001.

[blasphemy15]

if it was 2001 that means he was 12 years old here cuz 2000 he was old 11years. and moste of the time your voice is changeing when your near age 13 and his born on may. 1988 or 1989 i think the first date is correct this may he will be 20

[markjtt]

Okay, his birthdate is May 24, 1988 which made him 13 in Sept. 01. I wouldnt remember it so clearly except that i remember going to the concert 1 month after he had this performance, plus it was right before 9/11. I double checked the birthdate to be sure.

[blasphemy15]

yeh soz yeh he was 3 my mistake :) soz i checked it a bit to late i posted this reply to soon :) soz tho the only thing that is here is that his talented singer :P my top 3 faves are this one and one voice and roly poly :P

[markjtt]

I have so many favorites. One voice of course, "Till I can make it on my own" /watch?v=cxH_2qrA69c and "Crying" /watch?v=2zijU1doR6M

[kennethvaleros]

wow! that was awesome... nice!

[xtinecheong2]

i wish he could stay 13 for the rest of his life.. his voice here is of the best quality.

[kenROCKER1000]

wow... no one can sing like him... even the great michael jackson is impressed on him.... in my opinion billy is a greater singer than michael..

[Poprostujaola]

LoL 13. He said that.. After the song.

[booAT2006]

He is a professional, even at that age. So admirable :) Luv him and the quality of his voice!

[andy801080]

[markizonchik]

Hi, Pam, you seem to know Billy. I first saw him on Russian TV (the 9 O'clock News program) singing "Warm and Fuzzy" and he did sound mind-blowing. Guess what? I failed to write down his name!

My real obsession started later when I heard him sing "Ben" in celebration of MJ's birthday. Guess what? You can't find his CD ANYWHERE in Russia! Luckily I went to the UK shortly after that TV show and managed to buy his album "One Voice" (the only CD available in the UK music stores at the time).

Many thanks for the video. Enjoyed it a lot. It takes years to perfect your vocal technique but Billy is a natural talent which is so rare. Thanks again!
