Colm's appearance on the Late Late Show was so uplifting. What a nice man and what a talent. Ashamed to say I had completely forgotten about him even though I had always admired him. As my daughter said to day while listening to recording of Late Show "I would love him to visit my house for a session". It comes across how much he loves what he does. Thanks for making my Friday night. Carmel
colm has one of the most enchanting voices i have ever heard. I loved him singing jean val jeans part in les mis and everything else i ever hear him sing i get shivers. a fantastic performer.
He slides all his notes off at the end of them, He's also got a horrifying accent. He's definitely meant for musicals with his voice so he can do character voices. Watch him too. It's too much dramatizations and not enough performance. He should stick to les mis, jekyll & hyde, JCS, and the other countless musicals he's done.
@Broadway14534 everyone seems to praise "great" singers over Cohen when it comes to this song... But I find Cohen's voice to fit the theme perfectly. Cohen sounds like he has lived this song, when everyone else sounds like they are telling a story...
My wife and I were fortunate to see the Broadway and Beyond concert at Tullamore Court Hotel recently. I can only describe it as a totally out of this world performance. i have never heard this song sung with such feeling. Fabulous Concert!
My wife and I had the real privilage of seeing Colm in his "broadway and beyond" concert last week in Dublin.He sang this song and all I can say is "wow".We knew we were going to be in for a treat but nothing prepared us for the pure brilliance of this man.Despite his huge tallent he is such a humble man who clearly loves what he does and enjoys the great pleasure he gives to his audiance.Can,t wait to see him again. I hope we are lucky enough to get the opportunity.
It was in Buffalo. I never realized the range that Mr. Wilkinson has in his voice. He also was able to work the crowd better than I've seen any stage performer do before. Four standing ovations for him. He is definately blessed with a wonderful gift and I wish I had only a quarter of his talent.
I just got home from seeing this same concert. Absolutely amazing. Susan Gilmore and Patricia O'Callahan also added a whole other level of talent to the concert!
he has the most amazing voice i have ever heard. how on earth does he sing like that!! Best Phantom in my opinion and definately the best Jean Valjean in Les Mis.
@EriksLovingSlaave HES ALL MINEE <3 but yeaah, nothings wrong with that. someoen asks me who my celbrity crushes are i say the young micheal ball/ young colm wilkinson ;)
I first had the absolute privilege of meeting Colm 19 years ago, in his dressing room at the Pantages Theatre in Toronto, and we've had many great times with him since. He's an absolute sweetheart!!!! :o)
Bon Jovi's version isn't all that great (I wouldn't even put it in the better versions of this song, personally.). This doesn't really capture the beauty of the song live due to the low-quality.
Oh well, hopefully someone else did. Thanks for what you did put up and yes it was a great show. It's been way too long since hearing Colm Wilkinson sing live for me.

@Matthaios I disagree. Buckley's good, but I think Leonard Cohen's is the best, and he never gets the props he deserves.
