Tony Oller singing "Homeward Bound" at Sept. 11 Memorial

[therealjericarook]

I sang this song my junior year in high school. I love this song still. :)

[dandre0729]

Insane talent!! awesome!



[bwilson1914]

Just heard this song at my students recital and I love it. I think that he did a good job. The runs and falls were a bit over used in places, but I love the contemporary spin on such a great folk song. We must think outside of the box and this artist did. Remember Areatha Franklin's Nessun Dorma at the Grammy's? I think the singer might want to stick to his style and approach to the piece but be particular in the placement of the riffs. U GO BOI!!!!

[lstrizzle42]

That was absolutely beautiful(:

[lstrizzle42]

That was beautiful!(:

[kimjlc20]

omg this is absolutely amazing...lots of talent(: good job

[etniesboi11]

hes thrusting



[kasinecz]

I love this song. I appreciate most of this. I don't like your diction. The rest is good, I appreciate your ability, but I like the Song how it was haha/

[baydizzzle]

One day, I'm gonna marry him.

One day. :}

[daniellemonique212]

guys who can sing make them so much hotter :) <3

gooood job :)

[meghanf42]

my friend just pulled this up and I thought he was black now I see him and I just got way sad lol he is way good

[princessgirlsakura]

his the one that was on " As the Bell Rings" right?

[Vivaldicellist]

Though his version is... interesting, and sung well, I would have made different choices with this piece for a Memorial Concert. This piece has an air of longing that was totally lost with all his wavering.

[QueenBeatlesWings]

different versions for different people-

[Ice009Breaker]

I love this song. Thank you for posting this. =)

As for others. Your negative will not change the fact that this video is up. Say what you have to say and move on with your miserable life.

[TheJTP10]

I agree with @MsCindyVo

[SENnersBelief]

dude, my school choir sang this XD totally pimpin. lol. i've always loved you and your voice. very talented, indeed, and I'm still freaking out that you sang what my choir did...hehe x)

[entimme]

omg o.o

I almost started to cry

[chamberchoir101]

it's called music.. with actual notes and rhythms, instead of computerized voices and beats, you can make ANYONE sound good with the technology now, I don't hate the music that comes out now at all, in fact i like the majority of it, but the reality is people will not remember Lady GaGa, Rihanna, Beyonce, Jay Z, Kayne West or any of those people for hundreds of years after they've died

[willthecook]

@chamberchoir101 whoa, whoa, i totally agree with you on jay-z, kanye and rihanna but beyonce and lady gaga are amazing singers. beyonces rendition of the national anthem at the super bowl was fantastic, and i've heard lady gaga sing before she was famous live at a bar in new york and shes phenomenal. but yes many singers voices are totally computerized

[BlondeWhoLoves2Dream]

Great(:

[TheJedikai]

love this song, you sang so so. XoJxoH is right.

kinda throws off the piano. It's how kids nowadays want to sing like britney.

[italiax09]

i love this song, we sang it for our concert choir last year. he sings it really good

[smalltowngrl26]

omg we did tht song for our fall concert and people were crying yay!

[chiania1]

I love the way he sings. he did very well.i love you tony. you rock

[smalltowngrl26]

omg! my junior high choir is singing this for our fall concert

[bffl4e4e4aily26]

mine too :)

[smalltowngrl26]

awesome!!!

[xoJxoH]

if you sing it how it's supposed to be sung then it would sound beautiful, but if you add the extra

"uhhhhh"s then it kind of ruins it.

[xGodsxGiftx]

it's a solo song. It's sung however the singer wants to singing it. And this was a great performance.

[snoopy1010101]

omg were sining that song right now man that was amazing!!!!

[mtpalltheway]

me and my class sang this at a school concert..

[iluvdakota4eva]

my choir sings this a lot :D

[bmff121]

Amazing

[lilkatz2]

his voice is good overall, but he got carried away with ornamentation and got off track with the piano and off key a few times. It would be gorgeous if he cut down on the runs

[xGodsxGiftx]

it might be gorgeous to you if he did. But I guess it's good the audience and most of the people watching this still found a way to enjoy it without your expertice

[Singer11651]

ddude081 is totally crazy!!!!! You are amazing!

[TheTennisBabex]

that was beautiful.you are just so amazing Tony.I love you

[amandalovesHS]

AMAZING Tony AMAZING!!!

[aaronjohnsonfan1011]

I only have one word to describe your voice.. 'Beautiful!!!'

[lalalavampireland]

oh my god. you are amazing. i love this song. we sang it for choir

[srs955]

he added a cople too many notes

[yomo115]

I'm wondering if he can hold a continuous note. I think he fancied up too much of it. It's usually a good idea to keep some of the original notes and note lengths in there when you redo a song.

[golboulikewoahx3]

He's really good at holding a note actually. I saw him in concert on the 12th and he's pretty incredible

[CrazyLady7782]

I like the way you put your own twist to the song.

[addictedd10]

you are one amazing singer Tony:)

i hope that one day i get to meet you:)

[lindseyhsmfan]

tony u rock i hope 1 day u make a albem.. love u tony... u rock like a star

[katayycakes25]

i love this,

you are amazing.

[JaquelineDebora]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

perfect!

[awwshnap775]

hes gorgeous!!!

[anhthu03]

i love this song and no one made me cryied except u

[cherylbana]

why are you s0o0 perfect??

[Musician4life12]

Anyone know where I can get the lyrics??

[GodIsLove2012wrshp]

I agree with quackquackquack999!!! The scooping is kinda over doing it. He still has a great voice!!! He probably could have only the scooping a couple times. It started to get old after a while. But still it was very good.

[Cittykat27]

Oh my god, I didn't know you sang this Tony!

You did amazing.

I sang it in my school chior.

This made me cry.

Love you Tony,

Keep up all your good work.

[gymnast1095]

he's so cute and good singerr(;

[quackquackquack999]

I love the song

But In my oppinion he added way to much... the scooping and all. This is supposed to be a soft beautiful song and the eahhahh just ruins it... love your vocie but hate how you sing this song.

[GodIsLove2012wrshp]

I agree with you compleatly!!!!

[holisterxxgirlxx]

ohhmyygoodd!!!! amazinng!!! iii lovee youu tonyy!!!!

[twilightbby9]

oh my gosh! my chorus group is singing this!

that makes me even more proud to sing this song! :DD

[TMA123A]

i hope you rise high tony you desrve it i love your music your sound its just so beautiful

[itsajobronation]

[x0xZacsGurlx0x]

i love the song so much,&*

[bubblymonkeys]

[gottaluvdamian]

WOW! IS HE CUTE OR WHAT! He is such a great singer too! WOW!!!!!

[Twilight4Good]

ya i know he is pretty cute and has a great voice its amazing...i Love your voice!!!

[emma1sunshine]

good job......

[aeropostalegirl1121]

oh im singing this for my choir

oh my my its tony oller from um....as the bell rings i think. that was unexpected

but cool i guess

[greta9193]

i sang this song for 6th grade chorus and i had a solo =]

i love his voice

[LoriVampp]

omg Tony Oller is amazing <33

[rosscalverley]

Mirage of Deceit, I couldn't agree more. I know he has a nice voice, but this song is a folk song... and a very beautiful one, perhaps a slower tone would be better, you are taking it a trifle fast.

Youtube orders comments under time posted... can be inconvenient.

[MirageOfDeceit]

I'm very glad that you agree with me, and that there are other like minded people here on youtube. But even though I made a suggestion on correction, I had almost naught but compliments. Even if others have digressed or attacked you, please have respect and quibble in private message; it's not like most will care to read an eFight anyway. Please. Let this all end.

[amebbff]

Why should he stick to contemprary he is awesome at anything he does.

[ddude081]

wow he is way to nasal and this is a ballad not a pop tune he needs some formal training instead of doing what every other pop star does!

[r0sie123]

i disagree...

[MirageOfDeceit]

It sounds like you have a very nice voice. I feel like this song wasn't done justice though. It's beauty came from pristine and pure sounds, and this is over stylized. If you took the pop out, you could've had the most amazing version I'd ever heard.

[queenofqueens1o1]

out of all the guys ive heard sing this song so far, ur my favorite:)

[RSA20]

what church do you go to

[xoxoilovejb727]

omg i sang this song for solo and ensemble at my school last year!!!!

[mystephnameishi]

yr voice is BEAUTIFUL<3

[HannKatt6]

super cute and amazing unique voice :)

[ruveeaandireex]

you're so cool, :)

i love your voice!

[EmilyR478]

Beautiful song! (L)

[krazykookoogurl2]

I just have to tell you that i sang this song to years ago for music contest here were i live. But you sing it much better though your voice carries the notes amazingly. Good Job

[looalyssaassylaool]

great job

[lauraDaley13]

aww!!! hes so cute and has an AMAZING VOICE!!!!

[prettyangelsinheaven]

MARRY ME TONY!!!!!!

lolzzz

[compationate]

lol wow man

[spotlightonme88]

no offense i dont like it...hes making it too complicated its supposed to be a nice simple song..its like hes trying out for american idol or something..i mean good voice just not the way to sing this song

[savethedaybaby]

I TOTALLY agree with you. Makes people listen to his nasaly voice rather than the words, which are the most important part.

[joejonashottiexoxo95]

he has an amazing voice which is why they asked him to sing it at the memorial.

[joejonashottiexoxo95]

he just wants to put a spin on the song. maybe that's the way he feels he can sing it best. he sounds more professional like this.

[renana25]

is he mormon?

[HarryPotterDH7]

i love this song! i sang it at graduation :)

[FurE101]

amazing!!!!!!! soo heartfelt!!!!!

[female2300]

Speachless.......

[dkjones07]

bless your heart.

[blondelephant]

Very touching, a different arrangment than what I've heard before, but really good!!

[rosscalverley]

No he just can't stay on the note...

[SafetySmartbiz]

ok i love it how people feel that there is only one way to sing. he probably have better voice control that a classical singer listen to his rifts. I thoroughly enjoyed this. he is talented. i would love to hear you sing rosscalverley

[rosscalverley]

You probably will, if you stay on youtube long, or if my dream of being famous actually comes to pass.

I can tell he isn't comfortable with not 'trilling' at 0:39 and his note at 0:43 wasn't happy either. And I've only gone through 50 seconds of this...

[rosscalverley]

This is analysis from a student who has had 8 years classical singing teaching and is about to do a degree in Performance Music... and it is in reply to someone else from a few months ago...

[kasinecz]

@SafetySmartbiz He shouldn't sing Classical Music If he isn't a classical vocalist. There are many ways to sing, But only one way to do it right. It doesn't mean if it's wrong it isn't pretty, but he shouldn't sing homeward bound. This is a classical song, and a classical vocalist should sing it.

[xdragoox]

@kasinecz I totally agree that he's not singing the written vocal melody.

But this is not a "classical song."

This is a contemporary inspirational pop song.

I hate it when people just randomly assign everything that has voice and piano into the "classical" category.

Andrea Bocceli is not an opera singer for god sakes!

He does not sing any operas, he's just a pop singer.

[kasinecz]

@xdragoox This is a Classical song, In classical style, I sang this song every year for four years, as both a full choir and a solo, It is a classical song, It is stylistically ment to be carried out as such, that's how the composer wrote it.

[PhillipLWilcher]

Heartfelt and true - blessings to you!

[panicitsmee]

i had to sing that same song for a solo and ensemble competition :) your really good

[lydiaxkim13]

same with me, i mean same that i sung it 4 a solo and ensemble competition

[rockfreak15]

you have one of the best voices i've ever heard. and that song was beautiful. i cried. =)

[Singer11651]

You take my breath away. Do you take lessons? I do and found that they help so much, but I don't think you need improvement. I sing mostly for school choir, church choir, and special state choirs. I trying to break into the indrustry, but don't know how. I sing at every talent show we have and perform in every play, but it's not helping. Do you have any advice?

[cocoapuffluvr]

he has such a beautiful voice!

[joejonasrox3]

My uncle died in the September 11 attack.

And honestly, this is the one song out of all the memorial songs that made me cry hard. Thank you, Tony. It was absolutly incredible.

[Mandyl360]
