I know this guy!! And i can tell you all that he is doing very well !! ^^ I know, cause i spoke with him, only a few hours ago, and like i said, he is doing very well, he is busy, planing concerts WuuHuu!!! XD
I watched this clip years ago and it's sad to see that years have passed and still only 21.927 have seen it and I don't know how it works out for him. I mean there are so many bad singers out there this is so original and soothing. I wish best of luck man, I came back to this after some years after I had forgotten about the song but it's your version I like the most.
This is the sort of people that should be getting recording deals. I suggest you put a CD in a evelope and send it to a recording company they will love it.
absolutely spine tingling perfect. i think the best ever version i've heard of this beautiful song, my fave. you performed it so clean and crystal clear and with emotion, its so moving. i loved it. hanks for sharing it
Amazing performance! I personally prefer your voice rather than the extremely high pitched voices that normally sing this song! Your voice is so soothing and a real pleasure to listen to! I am a fan! Thank you so much for sharing your gift!
Hellow madsy, i'd just have to sjækk innom your profil, it was kool. I love your music, by the veien. LOVE IT! You are the new face of norwegian music, and you know it!
I just wondered if you would play live on my local radio staction. I can organise this. I live in leeds- is that to far for you to come- I hop not because you are exellent and i know evry one at the radio staction would love this.
This song makes me cry! I love it! My nan just told me to listen to it and i am glad i did. Youtube have some amazing videos. i would love this song on my phone
This is stupendous! You capture such emotion and feeling in your voice, and you give meaning to what would otherwise be a rather slow, boring song. Thank you!
I have loved this song for a very long time, and couldn't imagine anyone but Colm singing this, but I love your version. its very heart felt, and clean.
The word amazing is an understatement. This was truly divine, thank you "Ladypn" for forwarding this video to me..... I lost a brother, and he was on my mind while I was enjoying this - Peace, Prayers & Love, Thebodells
Wow...I'm amazed at all the talented people we have on YouTube. Your voice is beautiful! I have always loved this song and I thank Pam (ladypn) for sharing.
Very good indeed. I am no expert- I just "feel" music. IMHO, the only problem here is there are some songs which "belong" to some people. And,, again, IMHO, this one belongs to Colm Wilkinson.
Absolutely fantastic vocals!! Very crisp... everyone raves about Colm's version, and whilst it's also fantastic, he sharpens his notes slightly on the powerful sections which you avoid.
The backing music needs more juice on the forte singing parts though.
Watched your version of 'Bring him home' because someone commenting on another version of this song recommended yours. It's great! Thank you for uploading it.
I just heard the Colm Wilkinson version, and I did not like it so much, this is really full of heart. You sing this with very much power without screaming like Colm does a little.
Agree to everyone below me, so full of emotion and love. I can't imagine someone say a bad comment about this performance. If so, they should go and check their ears.
Wow, Its people who post videos like this that make it worth browsing YouTube for hours :). One of the best versions I've heard of this song, thanks for posting! xx
Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful voice!!!!!! Who is this man with such talent?????Very romantic and you are so handsome by the way, where do i meet guys like this??Would love to know xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wonderful voice, solid and powerful. When he opens his voice fully, he's amazing. There's a few points where his sound closes (mostly the e's, I know I do it enough XD) and then he sounds like a little boy. Keep your sound fully open throughout and it'll be more internally and externally consistent.
Someone kick off the current Valjean on Broadway, West End or any of the national tours and put this guy on stage! I'm only 12 and I know this guy is going to make it!
i think this is incredible, it's completely reduced to me tears, you are definately in the same leaugue, just get out there and show them that you are.
Incredible stuff. (i have decided not to swear-i'm kindov to stunned to say anything really apart from wow!)
What the fuck.. why ain´t u famous ??? AMAZING voice !!! This is the shit right here ..! Fuckin brilliant mate ur the real shizzle !!! Damn ur good boy...
bladdy amazin.. god ur good. u have replenished my love for this song mate! u give it your own spin on it too. incredible. keep posting them. u ever make a CD, let us know! il want it.
I am pleased to see the respons I get from you guys, and every comment is apprechiated :-)
I am offcourse flatterd to be compared with singers such as Colm Wilkinson and John Owen Jones but I am (at least not yet) even in their league ! Colm's Bring Him Home will forever be my favourite performance of all time ! But thanks again for the comments.
Man, I am from Argentina, I am a lover of musical theather, you...are the one. You have a gifted instrument, never stop singing, you make us all fell better with your amazing voice
I have for almost 30 years been a vocal coach for opera and musical performers and even for short periods worked with John Owen Jones and Colm Wilkinson. This boy who I can read is 19 I believe have even more talent and a more beautiful voice then both of them ! Offcourse they are better singers today but Belden is a lot better at 19 then both of them was at about 20-25 years old ! This guy will get big !
Major chills. That was absolutly amazing. In my mind you are miles better than Colm (I'm not a colm fan) but you just sound so polished. Bravo. You are better than some of the Valjeans I've seen in London/Broadway. Wow.
I know this guy!! And i can tell you all that he is doing very well !! ^^ I know, cause i spoke with him, only a few hours ago, and like i said, he is doing very well, he is busy, planing concerts WuuHuu!!! XD
