  • Excellent rendition of this song. Breaks my heart to hear this child's mournful wish for his mother.... great job! : )

  • over the top

  • Im only 11 and i have love LOL

  • 21 people didn't find love

  • gender fail!!! 

  • prettiest boy i've ever seen!

  • looks like a girl... and sounds like one! ha!!! lol

  • Obviously a lot of you don't know a thing about singing. What he is doing is correct, it might look funny, but that is how he is suppose to do it. He is very well trained. And he doesn't look like a girl. A lot of boys have long hair. So what? Before you post mean things, get your facts right.

  • this boy reminds me of a boy i know :L

  • although it seems as though his mouth is making strange shapes, he is very technically correct in the positioning of his mouth. He is well trained :)

  • i love this song.. :)

  • The thing he's doing with his lips is called enunciating. Though I know it looks funny because he does it on camera its mostly for stage.

  • pause at 0:24 LOL

  • umm no offence but oliver isnt cokney this kid is too into olivers supposed to be girly and quiet! this kids loud and like dodger

  • Amazing!

  • omfg he looks like a total girl lolz =-D :-D XD and he does a weird thing with his lips???? whos with me!!!!!!

  • you are all so rude you are all critizising a little child I think he sang the song beautiful

  • how ugly..

  • look at 0:24 lol 

  • The ugliest Oliver ever.

  • All this time I thought he was a girl ... owch .. that's embarassing

  • he doesn't look or sound like a girl but he does a really weird thing with his lips when he sings.

  • 1. why does he do that wierd thing with his lips while he sings?

    2. that definatley looks like a total girl.

  • @ghostie7790 that 'wierd thing' is to articulate

  • Love Oliver! J M rocks!

  • He's good, but it doesn't sound like he's singing it. At one point it looked like the mouth was moving at a different time to the song. But good.

  • Aw! Cute and brilliant! I couldn't do any better if I were lip syncing, I tell you that straight, so lay off! Besides, I think his voice is gorgeous! ^U^ Rock on!

  • man thats not how u do it watch the movie and it is a girl

  • A girl did the singing in the film.

  • @JuanMacready erm no.....

    joseph mcmanners actually has an album cd.......

    it is a guy.

  • I was talking about that Jew Mark Letzer, who was dubbed in the film by a woman.

  • Guys, give him a break! Hes a lil kid! And DUH hes lip syncing, but its to his own voice since he is performing it on TV or something. They always do that. GIVE THE KID A BREAK! Hes adorable!

  • You have a very high voice very good gift . On the other hand you have some pitch issues

  • You guys are just cruel, I bet you couldnt do any better.

  • HES LIP SING OMG!!!

  • he's fantastic,.,you are all jelous!! :P

  • Every Olivier in the West End version sang far better than this.

  • Aw, I like this guy! :)

  • I have to admit he isn't that good here but if you search "Bright eyes Joseph McManners" he sounds great in that and I love it

  • Ugly and talentless.

  • this kid needs to unstuff his nose

  • not being mean but i am sining that soung for my grade 1 and at the end when he pauses he is ment to cry a little and he isent

  • I never thought this kid could sing. Why anyone thinks this kid is so amazing is beyond me. Frankly, he needs an allergy pill or some nyquil to unstuff his nose. Maybe then he wont sound so bad.

  • I don't think we will hear about him again.

  • i have watched zhe show it is fab

  • and yes its a boy he is called Joseph Mcmanners serch hi im to yotube or google :D

  • I cant sing this better he sound like he or she or whatever it is , is singing from there nose:/

  • she stressed her lips wayy too much and im sorry horrible voice

  • This is a boy Soprano, he's quite famous. Joseph McManners.

  • Ive sung that better in welsh

  • The Welsh have the best voices anyway.

  • its a girl i dont like her/he voice

  • yeh, that is a girl...

  • Joseph Mcmanners is not a girl ^^

    and .. he can sing ..oh yeah

  • this is a girl, right?

  • You got to be shitting me, is that a boy? O_o

  • he is adorable!

  • Amazing performance! You go Joseph Mcmanners! I'll be waiting for you're next album!

  • his mouth is weird!!!

  • Thoose people who are saying he isnt good obv havent watched the musical he sounds exactly like the oliver init amazing. Hopefully see you in the westend as oliver some day :) Well done keep it up!

  • Yes and he did it himself unlike Mark Lester.

  • Love His Voice

  • hes good, but not moving

  • Gosh Hes Fit x

  • hes awrite

  • He's got a very nice, gentle voice. Stop bashing his appearance!! It's mean and disrespectful. YOU GO JOSEPH MCMANNERS!

  • hes shit.

  • This little boy is AMAZING!!!! He has such a sweet and pure voice, it makes you want to listen to this over and over.

  • I dont care how he looks like. The only thing thar really matters is tha hes a very good singer. He just have 12 years old. IMPRESSIVE!!!! You must hear the song: Were walking in the air.

  • i think he had sone a great job

  • I wonder what you've ever achieved in life and I'm wondering if anybody would drop everything they are doing to listen to you, and to look at you and admire your physical beauty.

  • Does it really matter what he looks like?

    I think he does a very good job.

    Commenting about his appearance is degrading, he did a good job, notice that not any issues you have with how he looks.

    As to the mouth formation, unless you sing its hard to criticize how a singers mouth is formed for any given vowel. The cockney accent and the fact that he's acting will affect it, not to mention sung vowels are different than spoken vowels.

  • thats right he is really gid

  • people who criticise the way a person looks look usually look like an alien from the movie Alien and have big pointy noses and have shit for brains and are usually true blue white australians that are born in australia and are descendants of convicts and are jelous and talentless

  • the people who criticise the someone looks usually look like something like aliens from alien the movie and have shit for brains and are nazis and cant spell

  • THat "thing" as you call it, an "adam's apple" only tends to appear when a boys voice breaks (ie, gets deeper)

    This BOYS voice has not broken yet, so he doesn't have a "thing"

  • is it a boy?????

  • whats up with his mouth?

  • IDK??? LOL

  • @ times it seems like his mouth formation doesn't even match the syllable coming out...

  • Hmmmm looks like keire nightly

  • i have to sing in a solo contest

  • weird mouth movements and trying to hard

  • very nasal

  • its becouse he has a britsh actsent

  • its becouse he has a britsh actsent

  • generally people tend to sound nasaly when the sing with an american accent.

  • Usually when people sing, they almost entirely lose an accent. This is because music notes do not allow for the accent of a talking voice come through. Nasal sounding notes come with a british accent, due to the fact that the dialect is more pressed and cut off when spoken, and sung, especially when the mouth isnt open wide enough..

  • GAH.....too cute....to gorgeous

    *must remind self....he's a boy...he's boy...he's aboy*

    well, sounding like a girl doesn't help either

  • Of course he's a boy, a very talented boy. There's nothing wrong with a boy being beautiful even though ugly people might say so.

  • lol..no he wasn't lip syncing.. for updated info on Joseph's career, go to his official forum, joemcmannerdotcom

  • Thanks!

  • sounds and looks totally like a girl! haha

  • ur right

  • haha. thanks

  • Is it just me or is he lip synching? At the beginning, it looked like he was attempting to sing "she" in the second verse???

  • It's his voice, but he might not have been doing it live.

  • That's what I thought :)

  • He shud keep his long hair, i reckon he'll be gorgeous wen hes older but he needs to keep the long hair.

  • no rilly thats a gril

  • his hair is really annoying they should cut it short then hed look more like oliver!

  • c'mon, that was so overdone

  • I absolutely love Joseph Mcmanners voice.

  • whats his real name?

  • Joseph Mc Manners

  • yah um AdiVampire i cindaf think thats a girl

  • he's a boy. look up Joseph McManners. That's him.

  • yeah, he looks like one with his hair cut like that, but it's a boy

  • wow he has a perfect accent O_O

  • Aw, he's so CUTE!!

    His voice is adorable, and I love him as Oliver. :)

  • Wow, he's got a fantastic voice for this song

  • The guys of I'd do anything were amazing! Apart from the odd 1 or 2.

  • I thought it was really

    quite wonderful....One of my favorite songs and you really did it a great justice

  • He is a good singer

  • looks like a girl no afents

  • learn to spell offense lol

  • I agree he looks like the girl from Bridge to Teribithia.

  • mhm...i love the play, and his act is convincing just like the sound of his voice, but i actually don't like his voice that much...

    still i'm so in love with oliver twist :)

  • Find the last 2008/2009 updates news about Joseph at :

    geocities . com/poosuong

    Enjoy !

  • I cannot believe the kind of comments people are prepared to post when we are talking about a CHILD.

    This boy is doing what he has been chosen and PAID to do, after several rounds of auditions against many other boys.The fact he has a recording deal and album highly suggests he is far more talented than the majority of posters who so freely critisise and im glad to say they will never acheive what he has already, by adulthood acheived in their whole life! It sounds like what it is- JEALOUSY!!

  • he sounds good but to quiet!!!

  • i think it wud have sounded better without the overdone cockney bt i think its still fab and i guess its the directors fault too.

  • cool

  • is he really 16? he looks like 12!

  • it was probably recorded years ago so he is not 16 here

  • not here, he's about 14 here

  • I love how he over accented the Cokney accent to make the character Oliver more realistic.

  • I don't think he sounds like a girl...but he looks sorta feminine. xD  Anyway, I love his singing and this song is one of the best from the Oliver! musical.

  • Yeah i know it was just to make sure people knew he was a boy, tbh i don't know where there coming from, i can tell hes a boy, yes he has a high voice, he has an amazing voice and is an amazing person to! Most of these people leaving nasty comments are jealous, it's quite pathtic acctually, Anyway... this is an amazing voice!

  • You sure its a boy? It sound like a girl.

  • reeeealllllly? its a guuuuuuy?

    ITS AAAAA GIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLRRRLLRLLR­LRLRLRLRLRLR

  • He ia 16 now and prob embarrased that he looks like a girl. but I must admit he is brilliant

  • ITS A CRAP! (A GIRL!!!!)

  • it's a gal!!

  • it's his hair.

    he needs to get it cut like the one in the movie...

  • you have a lovely voice keep at it xxxxx

  • Well, he might look like a girl, but the singing is fine

  • he would be a better singer if he wasnt trying to put on an accent

  • He's actually a tremendous actor. Sweet, corrupt, and to the point. A very good voice too. I wonder, has he been to the Neverland Ranch?

  • I think he's great-an its a concert so all thats required is expressive singing, not neccesarily acting.

  • Is the title supose to be sarcastic.

    Not amused

  • bekgeorge14: It's not meant to be sarcastic. On the other Oliver! videos people (inculding me) were asking if it was a boy or girl.....It's hard to tell in some parts. don't get all offended

  • hes fantastic! love ya joe x x

  • its a boy! are you sure? lol

  • their singing is not that bad, trust me i have heard much worse singing in my school musicals and if that is a boy its probably hard to hit those notesso BRAVA

  • are we sure thats a boy

  • Its a girl innit

  • I don't like his singing that much.

    I played Oliver! in Australia in 2007.

    I'm not being rude or anything I just don't like his singing

  • hes such a cutie <3333 love this movie

  • i agree, i've directed 'Grease' 'West Side Story' and at the moment i am directing 'Oliver!' and i have played Fagin in Oliver twice so i know my stuff too, and i agree this oliver is poor acting and singing

  • sure ya did...

  • his performance here is terrible. his voice is nasal and his technique is non-existant.

    please don't reply to this comment saying i don't know what i'm talking about because i do. i have passed my grade 8 in voice with merit and i'm doing a diploma next year.

  • his voice is, well, an aquired taste if you will, like seltzer water lol. While this definitely isnt his best, there are plenty of songs he has done that are wonderful. oh, and refer to JDGillis61's comment as well lol.

  • oooooooooooh i find him/her somirritating and his/her mouth is to

  • it is atcully a girl but great singing

  • Joseph at the time was just a normal small boy who just was blessed with a great voice and incredible talent for someone his age. It seems that many are very jealous of the young man because they themselves are losers who don't have 2 million pounds in their own bank accounts and will be lucky to have the honor of washing Joseph's car some day, but I'm sure because he is such a fine young man that he will at least tip you a shilling or two so you can buy some porage for dinner.

  • aww he has a sweet voice!

    boys at this age dnt have a strong singing voices! remember thaaaaaat! he is fantastic! well dun love!

  • his lips are annoying me....but great voice

  • Its a boy you guys are so mean!!!!

  • i THINK it isa girl lol

  • oliver really looks like a girl and the voice is feminine

  • In the film it's really the producers daughter singing. Is that the boy's real hair? Cus it just adds to his feminine look.

  • Btw, you look like a girl

  • Shut the fuck up little boy and learn how to sing. You suck. Gimme the original anyday

  • Gettinbuzz: At least it's a boy singing in this, it was a fully grown woman in the film.

  • True
