Andrew Johnston - Ave Maria - Norway

[thuggie1]

most do this song well but i can say that this is a awesome rendition, it is almost castrati.

[2010wieliczka]

@thuggie1 I think so. Women can sung it with such rich and warm timbre, even richer and warmer, but his voice remains fresh, transparent, clean, his vibrato is not bothersome. Jackie Evancho is declared as the most warm and full child voice, but despite she is now in similar age then Andrew, she sounds at him like amateur.

[12lq58]

Fantastic, Wonderful, Amazing, Stupendous, I could go on and on but I think this kid has been given such a great gift. I hope singing brings him as much joy as it has me.

[sjureman]

I was there. His voice is amazing.

[MizFrost]

Between his voice and the acoustics in that church, it must've been a true treat to listen to him sing. He's simply gifted.

[2010wieliczka]

Timbre of dramatic soprano, but liric in fact...

[BrandieDevin]

WOW!!!

[carpetp22]

This song is clearly a Catholic religious song used by many faiths. The Catholics are known for so many of these types of songs.

[WafflesandFruitloops]

that church has incredible acoustics

[sweettcakeee]

SIMPLEMNTE HERMOSOO!!!

[WafflesandFruitloops]

awww, i wanna do a duet with him, please make me famous people,so i can meet my idols! i promise i'll post more videos!

[JohnathanPozzi]

Wow. You are going to get a serious blow job after this.

[jrachelle13]

@JohnathanPozzi You're ignorant. Why are you here? Go look at some fart videos.

[SuperAlexrios]

i hate the idea and the catholic paraphernalia that he is surrounded by.Music is amazing but when i think that catholic church has commited so many crimes to humanity just for the sake of a blind nonsense faith then this music become grotesque

[markfromireland]

@SuperAlexrios At the time this was recorded he was the head chorister in (Church of England Protestant) Carlisle Cathedral. He's sang it in a (Protestant Lutheran) Norwegian Folkekirke Church. Really you should take your sectarian bigotry and whatever personal problems and failings you have that give rise to that bigotry elsewhere.

[SuperAlexrios]

@markfromireland well if you call my opinion bigotry  just because i said some truth then you are reacting like an ignorant or maybe a person with some khowlege that live in denial and have not other argument but the typical one l of an ignorant extremist fanatic

[markfromireland]

@SuperAlexrios I notice you're carefully avoiding that you got your facts wrong. At the time he sang this he was the head chorister in the choir of an English protestant cathedral he sang it in a Norwegian protestant cathedral. Furthermore the text he sang and that particular musical setting of that text are routinely sung both in protestant religious settings as here, or as concert music devoid of religious context.

As to the rest of your comment - do you always project that much?

[BigBingFan]

@SuperAlexrios

TRULY IDIOTIC. You reek, and you ain't "Super" Alex. You are a Protestant dupe.

[SuperAlexrios]

@BigBingFan I m not christian at all maybe you are Irish wich means that you still live in the dark ages

[zimple007]

brilliant!

[ctrvf]

[mrmusicisthefuture]

this kid was amazing on britains got talent!

[spr1te007]

this voice is called voce bianca-white voice it can only grow in men and it is only few in the world but it goes away in puberty -so sorry for the kid :)

[Kiwis2AJhandsome]

:) love u

[infected0555]

Hitman!

[TheFinnification]

am I right, when I think that he sings without a mic ?

[carter2255]

@TheFinnification yes there is no mic, no aids, this is his raw voice, absolutely stunningly beautiful, I have listened to this many times and am stunned at the quality of this kids voice, can't wait to hear the mature voice as he grows older, he won't lose this quality if he takes care of it..

[permafrostrick]

giving the camera person benefit of the doubt here...think they are way zoomed in....and in such unless camera is mounted on a unipod or tripod no way the picture will be steady. move 1/16" and zoomed in 10+x and it has that effect easily.

awesome voice!! can not find a flaw in the tone anywhere!

[ZombieFightClub]

i dont believe in god, but , if there is one........

[ShelbyGt1000cw]

Some day his balls will drop and I bet those priests will be devastated.

[gr33dyvii]

absolutely Sublime! :)

[syp1002]

i just heard a voice of an angel <3

[glendalyss]

He has a beautiful voice...but the person with the camera is SUCKS!!! I am so Fan of Andrew but can watch the video because person with the camera. Next time take some classes first!

[hinnata03]

wow !!!!!

[beyondeh]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life.

[zenmeister451]

What I wouldn't give to be able to open my mouth and have such beauty come forth. Truly gifted!

[zenmeister451]

Where are these new young geniuses coming from? This boy is simply outstanding. Beautiful!!!

[Kimberly14787]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[toucansdeath]

He sounds so much better in a cathedral than on Britain's Got Talent <3

[carter2255]

@toucansdeath the test of a real singer, not many can sing without aids and the quality of his voice is trully remarkable and beautiful

[Guichotpresident]

This guy better go countertenor!!

[FrippeSwede]

you can hear the sound of the big hall, this is singing at it's best! No mcrophone nor speakers, just pure voice..... impressive.

[Sadlingz]

Fans from Singapore here. :D You're popular worldwide. We, Singaporeans, love you. :D Love your current voice too!

[PianoMuzikLover]

Whoever calls this man of God with the voice of an angel gay, they obviously have no concept of what 'gay' is.

[digitalgear]

if camera phone can record the audio like this .. imagine listen it live ..... 

[66graciezj]

WOW ,WOW, WOW...

[morbels]

Amazing voice. I guess the nerves make him sing a bit too fast?

[SalieriFoe]

@morbels The organist began too fast. Ave Maria is never performed at this tempo. If he's getting off track of the organist, then it may be nerves

[SergeKobzev]

Настоящий Бриллиант!!!!!!!!!!!!



[TheSingingSweater]

AMAZING!!!  Absolutely beautiful Andrew!!!

[munio87]

His voice sounds so perfect that I couldnt imagine it... god gives him more than just an talent... his like miracle... one boy can bring so many tears of joy... that is incredible... my respect for you andrew :)

[elftails]

I agree, but probably no cameras wanted, takes away from the solemness.

[ROMEUMS]

Fabuloso!

[Ikiendangi]

Hopefully he doesn't become a priest who sings at church all the time. He needs to get those girls u feel me.

[lourdesstone]

it was unfortunate that this video was not taken properly but andrew's voice dominates, so powerful and awesome.

[Beerub]

Exquisite! Bellissimo!!

[Beerub]

Exquisite!!  Bellissimo!!

[Beerub]

Exquisite!!

[XxxBondagexxX]

Bravo!!! This is my favorite of all time and you did it splendid I am very particular about how this song is done Blessings unto you !

[ziachipper]

El gran maestro Rosso Fiorentino nos dio las caras de los angeles pero el gran maestro Andrew Johnston nos dio la voz de los angeles... que viva Andrew Johnston!

[KKsarson]

he is a great opra singeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­r!!!!!!

[dulceaguadelpozo]

The best of this kids is he is very humble and that is very pretty

[sfcviper]

holy shit! this is so good plus the echo inside the church. this boy made me go to church every week now

[dzspdref]

Beautiful recording; slightly faster paced tempo than I'm used to hearing, but very well done nonetheless.

[mimimaus92]

@dzspdref

i know it slower, too. and i think a bit slower it sounds better, but this boy is singing really great !

[StonedPenguinsfan67]

What a beautiful voice you have, it actually takes my breath away and brings tears to my eyes. The sky is the limit for this young man (Andrew Johnston). Keep singing and I will continue to listen.

[misspopole44]

Ce garçon est spectaculaire à chaque qu'il chante je pleurs! c'est un ange ! il est fabuleux !!!

[DrSnowgoat]

If he had sung this on BGT he would have won for sure, this is bone-chilling purity.

[gebbytoo]

I agree, but they probably made him sing ALW's pie jesu because its a "crowd pleaser" and everyone "loves" that song. Give me break, people need to start appreciating real classical music!

[pglez725]

Este es el ave maria mas legitimo y bello que yo he escuchado, perfeccion, inspiracion divina, no puede ser otra cosa. Mis ojos se llenan de lagrimas, bendita madre Maria, ruega por nosotros.

[deborracreative]

You are truly gifted. You are amazing, and I know that your voice will mature at to levels like Andre Bocelli, Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand, and Pavoratti. You are a tennor at his best. Your voice is high right now. But if you can reach these notes, you can reach THE STARS!!!! Love and success Deborra!

[mwdot12]

I love love love his voice! Best product thus far of Britains Got Talent! I hope his voice never changes, although I know that sadly that is not likely.

[terriesales]

Serene.

[KidEatingClown]

Awesome

[astudyofeverything]

@akudo1 "God has a plan 4 you", but what about Spina bifida kids, does he have a plan for them too?

[lela171]

I love your voice Andrew! God bless you.

[Charlie000369000]

what a voice!it puts a big O on those kid's mouth behind him

[myciel32]

is he a ALTO?

[yoppy93]

when this was recorded, he was a soprano.

but he's now a tenor - well, supposedly

=)

[Ikje86]

no soprano

[jrh2063]

Andrew is awesome! I hope he has a long and successful singing career ahead of him.

[pAuLiiiR]

oh my god , you're an angel

god bless you , just amazing

[karen9318]

i really really hope this piece of music will be in his 2nd album. thanks God to give us Andrew!!! i hear Andrew's 'ave maria' in norway everyday. it's very happy to see him playful, fun cute boy with angelic voice when he start to sing.

[velvetcaress]

Andrew, that was just beautiful. You have great vocal strength and a part of me wishes your voice would never break, but I'm sure it's going to be just as wonderful! :-) Best wishes always to you mate.

[jrh2063]

I hope Andrew is doing OK, I have not heard much news about him recently.

[Jairdan]

He seems to be in the early stages of voice break...His voice is getting deeper ..He also has a "natural" vibrato know (Sorry, english is not my first language)

[deadpalette]

don't be sorry your English is just fine enough :)

[babiiboii2009]

you the best kid !!!;)

[Remogard]

Brilliant, beautiful voice...perhaps when the time is right you can switch to Opera. Best of luck with uncle Simon overseeing your career.

[Syahmeinar]

I like him

[chorister51]

Wow! Beautiful.

[Pattyjo46]

I think God gave us Andrew just when we need him the most. Our world is a mess and we need reminded of who is really in charge.

[surfn07]

WOW!!!!

[dganung]

I never really thought this piece of music was so great until I heard Andrrew Johnston sing it. Now I'm hooked and will probably buy his recording.

[aliciadunning]

It is wonderful to see and hear Andrew - I normally dont go in for this type of music, but Andrew has me converted into a lifelong fan - I would love to hear him perform live.

[aliciahn]

Andrew, you are great, thanks for share

[yvettevm]

Well done Andrew. You have a bright future ahead. If your singing makes you happy...thank you for sharing.

[andreafinn1]

i walked up the ailse to this song......he has got a voice of an angel....truely blessed

[cocoacity1]

this kid is too talented to have somebody taking his picture with a phone camera. He deserves a REAL camera.

[Fraggle24]

@cocoacity1 That's ok .. God is going to smite the blagger and send'em straight to hell for using a phone in church. BET YOU HAUL IT OUT DURING THE MOVIES AT THE THEATRE TOO! YEAH I'M TALKIN TO YOU.. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.. I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS!!! Not you Coco.. The TELEPHONOVIDEOGRAPHER

[Benjammin62]

@cocoacity1 At least someone got this on camera ;)

[jlatoza]

gives me goose bumps. send me shivers and makes me cry. The gift from God has sang for us so beautifully and it makes me feel like being in heaven running around with angels.

[michaelwalter35]

simply beautiful
