  • Very nostalgic song.

  • his sound is so good...even better than young Declan

  • he is awesometastic or should i say a supperific talent indeed love it

  • oh goodness.....I can't stop listening to this!!!!! Andrew has a wonderful voice and I admire him for living his dream and overcoming some tough obstacles. It isn' easy going to school and dealing with bullies...I had a lot of that growing up. Andrew took a leap and is doing incredible now! God bless you, young man :)

  • this song was actually written for the movie "The snowman" in the late eighties, based on a children's picture book. It is not actually a Nightwish song. but man what a voice

  • wow, he's amazing!

  • Amazing Voice, Amazing Song.

  • He has a beautiful voice, he's very lucky guy.

  • Wow, this is incredible! First of all this is one of the most brilliant songs I know, it's great to find a little boy singing this all over!

  • This is so beautiful- I admire him for doing what he really wants to do

  • love it i was in choir and when you sing together with everybody in harmony it feels so great!

  • My goodness,I didn't know that the Nightwish song called Walking in the Air was a cover of his.

  • @ChristinaDarkRose The Nightwish version was a rubbish cover of Peter Auty's film version and Aled Jones' 1982 CD release. Nightwish murdered the song. IMO of course.

  • @ChristinaDarkRose The Nightwish cover was amazing, i dont care lol this cover is great too, but really nothing beats the original as it is the voice of christmas really :P

  • yay!!!

    

  • I love this!

    I loved when Aled Jones sang it and I like this kid. He's brave to do what other kids teased him for... and he's just excellent!!!!!!!

    He looks a bit like my son! (Holds back a tear!)

  • Tears in my eyes and chill's all over my body. Speechless to the beauty of this <3

  • Arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics.

  • I can only laugh at all the self-righteous crap people are letting out. If this guy didn't have this voice very few of you perhaps even none of you would bother encouraging him. You would just have shrugged and said "life is tough get used to being bullied". His voice is what people like about him. None of you know any shit about his personality.

    And no! I don't think bullying is a good thing. I just think people should be honest...

  • I always thought you should have won BGT but your doing fine and will continue to.

  • Andrew Johnston, I live in the USA. I want to encourage you to keep singing. Kkeep ignoring the bullies,they desire the attention and blessings that you have and they will find anything to pick on. Know that they have a problem and honey, you just keep walking the good path and keep singing. Hugs to you. :)

  • this is good even though The Snowman. In the film the song was performed by St Paul's Cathedral choirboy Peter Auty. dis yong fella will go far in life.i For the subsequent single release, which reached number five in the UK pop charts in 1985, the vocals were sung by Welsh chorister Aled Jones, who became a popular celebrity on the strength of his performance

  • He sings like an angel... I'm so glad he got away from the bullies.

    Andrew, this is just sublime......

  • beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

  • I cannot belive that you got bullied for 6 years old to 13 that is not cool at all i bet when they saw you make it through they didnt know what to say or think your amazing andrew amazing!!!

  • @jdifleetwood You can take all that crap about being bullied with a pinch of salt. It didn't happen. Even his mother said that he laid it on a bit thick at his audition. It was another of the old sob stories to gain the sympathy of the audience. George Sampson, the "winner"? of BGT that year was another culprit with a sob story. Both of them so talented, supposedly, Where are they now? Sampson has a very minor part in a TV soap and Andrew is back in church.

  • @mike04535

    id like to know what you have achieved in your sad life. and get your facts right he doesnt just sing in church he travels the world with his voice which is what you could probably only dream of doing. andrew is a friend of mine and he isnt a bullied little boy he would just laugh in your face. you dont have a say in his life and never will .he is a bigger person than you will ever be i dont see you having videos on here so shut your face !!!!

  • @midgetgemstone95 I did not say that he was bullied. I said that his mother said that when he claimed that he was he was laying it on a bit thick. Name the places all over the world to which he travels. Where in the UK does he do concerts? I've never heard of him giving one. Who does he have a record contract with and how many albums or singles has he released since 2008? Just the one I think. The last I heard of him he was a part time student at the Northern College of Music.

  • @mike04535

    he has a recording contract with simon cowells recording company and he doesn't do gigs at the minute coz he is letting his voice develop you idiot but you wouldn't know that cause your too ignorant to look him up he is going to Portugal soon so stick that in your pipe and smoke it :)

  • @midgetgemstone95 Oh but I did look him up on his official website. It states there that he has a scholarship with the Carlisle Cathedral Choir, which he then describes as doing what he was doing before. So not much change there then. He also states that he studies part time at the RN and hopes to gain a place there when he is older. There is no mention of public concerts either in the future or in the past. So so much for your claim that he travels the world with his voice.

  • @midgetgemstone95 Bravo for trying to redress some of the remarks by Mike. He is a sad old man who obviously enjoys making spiteful remarks about anyone with more public support than Faryl in BGT almost 4 years ago. He is clearly ignorant of the fact that boys' voices change and their career paths can not be seamless in the way girls' can be. His comments are best ignored. Any reply, I have noticed, only fuels further inappropriate insults. Faryl and Andrew are BOTH talented.

  • @MusicologistKnightsb What a load of tripe you write. To state that a man would not be aware that a boy's voice changes is so daft I will not comment further on it. Girl's voices don't change? Oh yes they do. Compare Julie Andrews' voice at twelve with her adult voice. Even compare Faryl's voice at sixteen with her twelve year old voice. Faryl has just completed three public concerts in as many weeks. There is public support for you. Bums on seats. Not unfounded sycophantic comments on YT

  • Thumbs up for ALED JONES :D

  • I think that many of the contributors here don't realise that that for half of the recording they are listening to Faryl Smith the 12 year old girl with the extraordinary voice. She wiped the floor with Andrew on the BGT tour and she does it again here. His squeaky little voice just can't compete with Faryl's powerful mezzo soprano.

  • Amazing voice, magetic, bravoooo!!!!!!!!!!!

  • no auto tune! oh yea this was the age of no auto tune.. why was i born in 1991

  • dis yong fella will go far in life.i bet all them that were picking on him will end up in a hold in time.i say goodlook 2 him i hope he gets 2 were he wants 2 go in life.bcause he has the will 2 do it.very good song keep going son.

  • He's better than bieber....duh...

  • There was a time I could seriously sing like this....., now Im graduated from high school, and my voice plummeted. Now I cant sing songs very well. Unless the range is low. :/

  • the end is the best

  • who's gay?

  • People who say he is a sissy or gay are just real jealous of his incredible talent and humility.

  • @Lengarces No, theyre jealous of his accent.

  • Just Beautiful keep up the good work..

  • 無聊 is not boring :D

  • At 2:01. omghhkp. that note is amazing.

  • Words can't describe the beauty his voice.

  • would have been amazing for the LOTR movies; beautiful <3 absolutely incredible

  • his speaking voice is deep, and has nothing to do with such a singing ability, this kind of gift is not something anyone a loser can ever understand. If you watch his BGT shows, girls are all over him and he loves it. Of course the best revenge, he is a millionare recording artist meeting hot actresses and singers all over the world! So suck on that bully name callers - and bend over in your prison cell for your BIG BUBBA Daddy, ha ... you'll find out what 'normal' means soon.

  • You all forgot...Angels are neither male nor female.

  • You all forgot...Angels are neither male nor female.

  • im in a death metal band from canada and i tihnk this kids amazing!

  • i love him eyes ! <3 (:

  • good :)

  • This song is actually so fucking pompous, sure he has a good voice, but use it for a good song, this song is shit, nuns listen to it. And btw this kid admitted he is gay, so all those people saying "Just because someone has a high voice doesnt mean they're gay" can shut the fuck up, because this kid obviously DOES like a few slams in the arsehole.

  • @Moleson3MC

    I'm not gonna say anything about you except I think you had a bad day today.

    Nuns? Try Nightwish. This song has transcended genres. And just because a gay man has a high voice, does not mean all high voices belong to gay men, or that all gay men have high voices.

  • @phantasma616 "try nightwish." ??! Do I fucking care if its called nightwish?! Umm, no, I still think its a pretentious pompous annoying shitty song that normal men cant listen to.

  • @Moleson3MC the hard rock band Nightwish, darling. If you're such a macho man who can't listen to this, then don't. Women swoon for this "shit".

  • @phantasma616 Ahaa yea, and Im sure those kindo f women are very adventurous and alot of fun ey? Dont forget to make sure they're wearing their scarf before you take her to the opera, faggot.

  • @Moleson3MC actually, I love opera, take a look at my page. oh and if you looked, you'd see I'm a woman. Stop picking fights with girls because you're upset by a child's singing.

  • @Moleson3MC

    what do defione being a man, ignorant beer drinking idiots, who are too pathetic and unable to do anything of value like this kid and his voice, so you make excuses for why they can do it and why your stupid ass can't and in this instant of course he must be gay becasue he can sing. well if he ins't a normal man, what can you do that is so impressive? i doubt there's anything, normally i am quite polite on these but fuck to hell with that, suck my balls you ignroant dick

  • @Moleson3MC This song is the theme from The Snowman. It was written to be performed by a boy treble, which Andrew is, and definitly not a heavy metal group like Nightwish who to my recollection are not nuns. He and Faryl sing it as it was intended to be sung. When exactly did Andrew admit to being gay? Certainly not as a 13 year old and I have not seen or heard a quote to date admitting that he is. By the way you don't seem like a normal man to me. A rather angry one if I may say so.

  • @mike118117 Yeah 13 years old lol. And some probably said that cause they consider high pitch voice being for girls... like wearing pants is for men (omg). At 13 I had an acute voice too, like most of us at this age.

  • @Moleson3MC You are being very rude for no reasons. It's upset to see someone so uncivilized, and bashing a child for no reasons. No child deserves the language that you used.

  • @lovetraveldotcom I'm just saying that this song is very pretentious, he should have picked something else, because this song makes him sound like the biggest fuckin sissy. Want a real hero? here: /watch?v=5YsGJz3j4os

  • @Moleson3MC 你真無聊!

  • @lovetraveldotcom I'm not boring, fuckin asian cunt.

  • @Moleson3MC and this will be my last post to you, or else I will become as 無聊 as you! Have a good day! :D

  • @lovetraveldotcom as bored as me? speak english you fucking loser.

  • lol guys ......wtf what gay.........he is a kid yet.........when he will become an adult his voise is going to change.....he have perhaps 1-3 years to get advantage of his voise....then after hemaybe will let it down , or we will be an other sort of singer....

  • 7 People are morons who don't have any kind of taste in music.

  • Andrew don't ever quit singing man! You'll become one of the greatest singers of all time!

  • Who the hell said he's gay???

    don't you understand this kind of music?

    Get outta here!

    He's an angel.

    He has an angel voice.

  • Moleson - Repressed homosexual males feel threatened, angry and embarrassed when they see or hear a male show any trait that may be considered 'feminine'. You need to learn the difference between homosexual and transsexual and get over your hangups. Quit being such a sucker for the centuries-old dogma of pathetic and fearful old fools and, most importantly, aim your anger at someone more deserving of contempt....not this innocent kid.

  • nice VOICE Andrew!!!!

  • This guy could make the soundtrack for harry potter, more magic than this is impossible

  • I love the way he sings very much... An extraordinary Gift!!!

  • fuck! why if a boy sings like an angel has to be gay immediately????

    he could be more man then you all plus that he sings as an angel... something that you can't do by the way.

  • Love love love his beautiful voice and Faryl's is angelic as well.

  • what's with all of the homophobs?

  • wat a fag.

  • @Moleson3MC your the fag mate, going round kids videos spreading your sicko comments

  • @carter2255 Come At Me Bro.

  • @Moleson3MC I Would if I knew where you are at bro. I would like you to try to sing as good as this kid, Cause you cant

  • @chocolateyman Wouldnt want haha, this sissy kid sounds like Susan Boyle, pretty sure everyone would have made fun of him at school.

  • Just because a Male sings in a manner that would usually be performed by a Female does NOT mean he is gay, I can not believe the stupidity of some of the people on the internet.

  • @thesillysock Can't believe neither... Such reactions seems like nazis...

  • wow!

  • This is so beautiful.

  • What does his sexuallity have to do with it at all, he has a beautiful voice that moves people when they hear it!

  • How can you guys even think if he is gay or not when listening to this awsome music? just... Who cares if he's gay? enjoy the music coz it is brilliant

  • great voice!! Deffinatly a gift from God!

  • great voice!! Deffinatly a gift from God!

  • How can I tell which one is which?

  • @KBAFourthtime faryl has a more polished voice, with more vibratto(vibrates more), actually andrew's pitch is higher since while she sings like a Opera, he sings like a Castratto

  • @KBAFourthtime Faryl begins at the second verse and has a much darker and richer voice than Andrew. It is a much more powerful voice.

  • Hey, its better than Justin Bieber lol

  • @nintendogamegeek like almost every other singer ive heard in my life

  • @tantawi1992 talent has nothing to do with sexuality, which Im sure you can agree with me on?

  • Nice. God bless kids all over the world, angelic voices :)

  • gay...thumbs up if you disagree.

  • This is actualy beautiful :') 

  • if male singers wernt alive wed have only female songs to listen to. boring! and i love this song it always gives me goose bumps!

  • he is absolutly amayzing his voice is like a angels voice thumbs up for Andrew Johnston!!!!

  • i like Andrew Johnston 

  • Good child to sing no easy part to sing!

  • Good child to sing no easy part to sing!

  • Clean and beautiful voice

  • Whoever says "male singers who have high pitched voices are gay" doesn't know much about music appreciation at all. For a male to even have a high pitched voice doesn't make it girly! 

  • hm, fone music is nor enoth power

    but vocals is very good

  • love boys voices! too bad it wont stick with him forever.

  • he has jusy not it puberty yet, that dos not mean he is gay! And if he is, SO WHAT?

  • @noilet How do you know hasnt hit puberty . Its his business and anybidy can sing like that , puberty or not;.

  • @BradleyKearsleyMusic Ever heard of the change of a mans voice when hitting puberty?? not everybody can sing like that. If you hear his voice in an interview you can hear he has deffinetly not gone through the voice change. When he hit puberty though, he'll not be able to sing that way the same way he does now. he may have a chanse in falsetto singing. My point is: The difference of a mans voice before hitting buberty and a lady above lets say 13 NO is nothing! That is why he can sing like that.

  • @noilet If you look on his face book ,it shows a recent video of him singing in his church ,He is now A TENOR and is all grown up either a tenor or a baritone ,He is not singing much as he has to retrain his NEW voice and let completely develop ,Andrew looks completely different you would not recognize him ,he has grown up I suppose ,

  • @daisychain1231 that was my point :) He now has a darker voice and can no longer sing the way he used to, unless he sings in falsetto :) thanks for suporting me :)

  • Thumbs up if you support Andrew Jonhston's homosexuality!

  • I myself am a Soprano 1 singer! and i'm a male! (: i'm proud of tht!

  • @JonHanafi - You should be!!

  • @JonHanafi - Can you post songs of you singing? 

  • I think Andrew has an amazing voice but for me its Faryl who makes this song what it is

  • what a voice! shivers down my spine! so good!

  • el es solo un niño como pueden entrar a debatir ese tema de su sexualidad que tontera si su voz es de niño todavia y muy linda por lo demas

  • Stunning voices! The world is a better place to live in with such voices!

  • naaadhera:)

  • he is sasational

  • is it possible 4 u 2 sing "O Holy Night"

  • @hijodebastardo No. His voice has broken. This is his only album. Faryl has released two so far.

  • @mike118117 tnx, if given the best support, he could have done more songs

  • @mike118117 his voice is in transition and what a voice, he is obviously being managed very well by the sound and quality, obviously girls do not have to deal with the same problems as boys so they can carry on. This lad has a huge future.

  • @carter2255 How can you tell? There is no reason to suppose that a boy with a world class treble, which his isn't, will develop a a world class adult voice. He will have a voice certainly but there is no guarantee that it will be a great one, or that he will achieve an international standing. Aled Jones had a far superior voice and after a period of rest and then tuition at the Royal Acadamy he emerged as a fine lyric tenor, but he does not fit into the pantheon of great tenors.

  • @mike118117 obviously you have your opinion but mine is that this lad was a world class treble. There is no guarantee of course of International standing with ANY voice Andrew is studying at one of the finest conservatoires in the country so my guess is he will do just fine. Andrew has a differnt voice from Aled Jones, the lad has much more power and depth and richness, a really superb voice and one I can't wait to hear when it fuly develops.

  • @carter2255 I would hardly rate The RNCM as one of the finest conservatoires in the country. The RAM the GSM and RCM are among the finest. The Northern is a good provincial one but is not I think in the "Ivy League" so to speak, of music colleges. I understand that he still lives in Carlisle and has singing lessons at the Northern. That is a bit different from being a student there. Also he gives public performances which at his stage of development is not good for his voice.

  • @mike118117 I beg to differ but obviously you have your opinion. I am sure the conservatoire know what they are doing. I think you'll find the lad is enrolled as a student studying many more aspects other than voice along with other exceptional young talents. I look forward to hearing more from him in the future.

  • @carter2255 As a sixteen year old he is still required to follow full time education so he is not a full time student at the Northern. I understand that it is his intention to go there to study when he is eighteen. I am given to understand by Wiki that he is no longer at Trinity School; but has a private tutor at home. Not a smart move at his age. Faryl attends her state school and only has a tutor when engagements cause her to be absent for a while.

  • @mike118117 whatever the lad is doing I am sure it's working for him and I really wish him all the best

  • this is one of my most favorites songs....I am a big fan Andrew!!!

  • this is one of my most favorite songs and I am a big fan Andrew!!!

  • i so wroing who ever siad that i think he is so great

    nightlifegirl 13 ur dad  is wroing

  • @andrewschwartzman98 'Wrong'.

  • WALKING IN THE AIR by ANDREW JOHNSTON DUET WITH FARYL SMITH james cooper friends ok mate

  • haaaa grow up you bunch of dicks.

    Leave him alone, I love him! Heys amazing, I saw him live on tour anyway.

    And actually heys straight beleive it or not, Unlike you. Pftt suprised?..

    Fucking tards, Your all jelous that heys better than you'll ever be.

    Whats wrong with being gay anyway?... Nothing, So shut the fuck up, Bunch of norns.

  • Good version, but Peter Auty is the original and has the feeling of the words and the spirit of the music. Just one opinion.

  • It can not be sing better! This is how this song should be sing in first place. What a voice, what a peak from 2:40..............

  • so genuine. so refreshing

  • mamy ogromne szczęście że Andrew pomimo swej nieśmiałości odważył się publicznie zaprezentować swój talent :) dzięki temu możemy cieszyć uszy jego cudownym głosem. Gdy go słucham, rozpływam się, chce mi się płakać...

    I love his voice

  • świetny głos dobrze się słucha

  • wow thats all i can say. Amazing! Brilliant! Beautiful! :D

  • your dads a homo

  • Damn now THAT is a VOICE, such a beautiful voice at that

  • @yaoigirl103 Which one. Andrew's or Faryl's?

  • @mike118117 Andrew

  • Declan Galbraith is way Better but now that he is older he kinda sucks

  • Una voz que representa la esencia humana.... mi alma esta feliz, gracias Andrew!

  • Joseph McManners sings it better than Andrew.. But it's very well..

  • I´m 33 years old and EVERY SINGLE time I hear him singing I cry!!!And I´m not ashamed because I believe that´s how ANGELS sound like!!!!!

  • many people think male singers who have a high pitch is ALWAYS gay! And that is not true at ALL! Thumbs up if you agree with me!

  • @music5400 They are little kids that is why they sing so high....

  • Comment removed

  • @music5400 That's such a serious misconception! I hate it when people tell me that males with high voices are gays! These people really do not know what singing is. Let alone know what talent is! If only I could rate 5 stars on your comment! :)
