I haven't seen too many of his performances as a teenager (and unofrtunately never got the honour to experience him live), but I loved him especially much when he was a child. Not only was his voice the best back then but for all i've seen he never sung to the music, he sung from within the music. Always so deep into it at instrumental parts. He was incredible performer for such a young boy. No doubt he's been passionate and amazing all along, but still. There is nothing like the child Declan.
@bethyexe - That is so not true. He did couple of mistakes because it was a life-version. But the colour of his voice is much better. I did looked for the Libera version and i found it shallow..but still ok. Not 100 x better, just ok. Try the one (where he´s clear) from "jerrypwjr"
it's not bad, he just need to learn to control he's voice so it keeps the same tone all way through, he's practually screaming at the high tones. but the original version is bette. =D

@DninK-- Declans is very good singer, but he sing this song with Vibrato Voice,-~~~~~~~~ please listen to Chloe Agnew, which sings ----------- I like Declans in Carrickfergus, simple fantastic...
wot a gimp u sound?? jeez i do wonder why people come on the songs they dont like n say earthshatteriungly dumb things like this eh?? pft if u dont like it go n watch ur powerpuff girls or summit :D
wot a gimp u sound? jeez the kid is wot bowt 7 here? i do wonder y people come on here n say mind numbingly stupid thing!! y come n look the vid up in the first lace? go back to watchin ur powerpuff girls n stop gettin my goat :s
I think Aled Jones sucks ... so the original singer... Tarja from nightwish is an Opera singer of course she can sing it stronger, but Declan has got the perfect children voice for that. So I think he is better.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I could do better, its really when you find your moment. Im 20 and i can still do high notes like that. I always loved music... hes just another one on the latter who will lose his voice. Like it while you can little boy :)
@RoAlexBidmead i know isn't how he says finding funny but you know that's his natural voice and i'm ok with that *burst out laughing* that's all i have to say
What are you saying??? The best, most beutiful version of this song is the one sang by Taria from Nightwish. Most perfect, most heartbreaking. All hail Nightwish!
I have listened to all 3 versions,, Joseph McManners, The Choir Boys,and Declan Galbraith, and this is by far the best.. Joseph has a beautiful voice, but hsan't learned to control it yet, and the choir boys were rather plain.. I guess I am spoiled on Declan ever since I listened to him sing "tell me why". His voice was stunning then. But as he got older, it sound more like he is singing while sitting on an unstable overloaded washing machine, but I still LOVE him!!! and he is a young doll!!
If i could ever find it I would!! been looking EVERYWHERE for it. Every major online musicstore, but i simply can't find Declan's version of the Snowman...
His name is Delcan Galbraith, a British boy from Hoo . This video is old, because he recently turned 17 (on the 19th to be exact). He's actually my favorite singer, and you can listen to his more recent songs such as "I Think I Love You", "Missing You", or "Ego You" .
The choir boys do have this song better but he does every other song they do and he does mutually better. He is so much superior to the choir boys. But not in this song. In danny boy and tears in heaven there is no comparison
I have to disagree, I haven't personally taken the time to compare the two renditions of 'danny boy' however i have 'tears in heaven' and the choirboys have that song down to a point of perfection, while his rendition is sub par
hes really good. i like this song. its so soothing, sometimes i listen to this song to make me go to sleep. its like a lullabye. i like it when declan sings it
i love him so much but im finding this song isnt him at the being i had t grit my teeth n bare it i find this song is high pitch n to me hes just yelling it the Choir boys sing this song amazing.
In this particular piece, the only thing important is the heart of the voice. Any child who sings this song with such passion should be honored & praised for his beautiful voice in a difficult piece.
Aled Jones wasn't the original singer, he just took the credit for Peter Auty. If you listen to the two versions Jones basically mimics how Audy sang it.
I love him ♥
