You Raise Me Up

[colinburrows865]

What a fantastic rendering of this song. It gets to the heart

[EMERALDISLETV]

The track was written in 2005, so maybe yes it could well be him!

[EMERALDISLETV]

Unlikely to be Joe Platt if it's a 2008 recording! But definitely Libera!

[skypilot87uk]

@EMERALDISLETV Could easily have been an old backing track featuring Joe that was used ;o)

[smallvillenyc]

I hope they play some Aled Jones Christmas Music on the radio here (NY) this year..and not the same stuff over and over..

[BloodyAddiction2]

Beautiful. I love that he looks so relaxed. Very talented.. wish I had found his music sooner..

[michelle04191]

so cool

[Tifroggie]

I like this version FAR better than Josh Groban's. You can hear the choir training, how Aled floats the higher notes and it sounds effortless, whereas Josh has trained to sing ballads, and he belts the higher notes. I do like Josh's version, but not as much as Aled's! I also think he looks very handsome now, but as I live in Canada/USA, I didn't grow up with him on my tv screen. My loss!

[stad97]

@Tifroggie

er, just curious, was it Canada or the US? Canada/USA sounds almost like you're not sure. not that it really matter.

[Tifroggie]

@stad97

I am very sure.

I live in a border town that had major TV channels from both sides of the Canada/USA border. I grew up in Port Huron, Michigan, USA, and now live in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, which are literally right next to each other. The TV stations that I get are from Toronto Ontario, London Ontario, and Detroit Michigan. I'm an hour drive north of Detroit and an hour drive west of London.

[stad97]

@Tifroggie

oh, i see. so you grew up in America near Canada, and now live in Canada near America and you get TV channels from both places. That is so cool.

[Tifroggie]

@stad97 Exactly!

[mermerchar]

Really good. I love this song.

I hope you like MY VERSION. I'm a 16 year old Tenor from the U.K currently performing in West Side Story.

Many thanks. George Mercer :)

[PaleSilverMoon]

He's got an a simply magical voice!

[relfexreaction]

howcome he looked so handsome when he was young - and not even half of it now as a grown man? :( where did it all go?

[relfexreaction]

@relfexreaction although a big part of it may be due to this rather stupid looking haircut...

[8byf9nr6]

One of the finest versions I have heard of this song.

[peten4444]

Gives me cold shivers - brilliant

[TurboGitaar]

you raise me up of secret garden is also beautifol(im not good in English, better in Dutch:])

[partycow2]

Love Aled doing this song; before I would say Josh Groban was my favourite but Aled sings and pronounces every note so clearly and perfectly......WOW!!!

[okebaram]

He has the voice of an angel, and the attitude to match. God bless

[ERiC44920369]

@SoPXtra

I tried amazon uk and it wont sell to me due to geographical reasons. Yet youtube has them and I use my iPhone to record them

[SoPXtra]

@ERiC44920369 What about a company called Play.com who are also in the UK, I see they not only have the album for sale on there, but you can also just download that track if you wish.

Hope this helps.

[aboctok]

Definitely one of the nicer versions. He never over-does things.

[ERiC44920369]

@SoPxtra you can only buy it from amazon UK, I'm from the US

[SoPXtra]

@ERiC44920369 I know of people from the US and Australia who have purchased Aled's albums via Amazon UK, but they probably had to pay a little extra in p&p.

Hope this helps.

[ERiC44920369]

can't buy in america, very disappointing

[SoPXtra]

@ERiC44920369 Its on Aled's "Higher" album which is available from Amazon.com its also on Aled's "You Raise Me Up - The Best Of Aled Jones" also from Amazon.

[AurynThePaladin]

Not live, kinda want to hear it live

thank you to peter for being a true friend trust is a thing thats earned and i will earn it with respect honesty and love you mean a lot to me my ver own little aled

[Nashcountryboy]

FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE!

[Nashcountryboy]

I assume Aled used the fine boys singers ffrom LIBERA for the boy background vocals. Anyone?

[skypilot87uk]

Hi Nashcountryboy, yes it is the boys from Libera who provide the backing vocals..

[Oceanbluetooth]

yeah undoubtedly the boys singing on the backgroung are Libera

[fuckrunescape7]

@Nashcountryboy yeah he did, check the other version of you raise me up - aled jones u can see the boys there

[1993Michigander]

He might try not to make his lipsync so obvious next time

[bizaroid]

@1993Michigander: sometimes it's not like you have a choice. Sometimes they MAKE you lipsync for various reasons. But when he sings it live, it does sound the same.

[goblinonacloud]

A wonderful solid Welsh Tenor with notes still as clear as when he was a boy soprano. I love listening to him now as then...

[reberto1football]

oh rather.....

[klr0123]

I heard Libera on the Background!!

[skypilot87uk]

Yes Joe Platt was the main soloist on this track, but all of Libera took part.

[klr0123]

Brilliant!! Superb!!

[sasuke9g9]

lipsync

[BrokenBrilliance]

josh groben sings it better in my opinion

though he still sings it well

[klr0123]

it depends

[reberto1football]

you spelt Groban wrong you prick!

[reberto1football]

and you're just wrong.

[reberto1football]

you prick!

[BrokenBrilliance]

umm what did i do to offend you?

[SweetsexiiKels12]

this is the first time i have listened to him sing as an adult. he is still amazing!

[susiemv]

Do catch the massive number of video clips of Aled here on Youtube...he's brilliant. Yes, he is truly amazing, with an incredible lyric baritone voice now. He's still as wonderful and unaffected by his fame as he was as a boy too. The first time I heard Aled's baritone voice almost six years ago, I wept tears of joy...he's as stunning now as he was as a treble.

[jkeppel90]

I'd agree with Aled not listening to himself singing. I don't isteni to myself either. I hate the sound of my own voice.

[reberto1football]

cos you're shit!

[jkeppel90]

He's lost his welsh accent, I think.

[icuiidan]

holy vibratto, batman.

[Lazybucket]

His voice is so beautiful. I wish we had more people like this on TV in the States. It's a crying shame.

[HahnPotterishFowlnut]

@Lazybucket I agree with you completely!

[Jyrki1964]

@Lazybucket

You have: Darlene Koldenhoven.

Search google



[tinotrivino]

@Lazybucket in the states? lol, yo have not that... just war series :p sorry i must write that!!! but i am glad you like that so there is hope that one day your culture"" will be like us europeans... big hug!

[croda2008]

Thanks Aled for partening terry for the CIN

[cheeksport]

who is the guy presenting the show, its not him who sung walking in the air first??? silly ques maybe, fantastic singer, he always reminds me of christmas

[skypilot87uk]

The guy presenting is Gardener turned presenter Alan Titchmarsh. Peter Auty first sang Walking in the Air for the movie The Snowman, Aled made it famous in an advert for Toys R Us and took it into the top ten of the charts..

[cheeksport]

blond moment, i should know him i watched ground force enough times, after wacthing this videos im going to have see him live

[HelloImLance]

This is sadly the first time I've ever heard him sing. Simply amazing!

[skypilot87uk]

Im glad you enjoyed Aled singing here, please check out some of his other videos I have here on YouTube. You may also like to do a search for Aled's unofficial Fanclub over on Yahoo, you will find links to other Aled videos on there, both as a treble and as an adult. Bte for now. Todd.

[bestpi]

World Class the whole way. Any idea who the back up singer was on this? It sounded like a treble.

[Dudidamu]

the back up singers are libera the song was recorded in 2003 for aleds album "higher"

the soloist is joseph platt

[bestpi]

Thanks. Beautifully done. But what else would one expect from Aled but first class.

[theatom2000]

Yes, wow it's Libera. But for this moment it's Joseph voice?

[skypilot87uk]

Hi John, It was Joe Platt of Libera fame who was singing the treble part, sadly Joe is no longer a treble.
