@iheartdonald Yeh, I have no idea where Sharon is coming from. Very unlike her. I don't listen to opera either, but when it is the best, it's simply the best.
How lucky am I, I have a ticket to see Donald Braswell at Carnegie Hall on Dec. 2nd. Tickets went on sale today 10/1. All you Donald Braswell fans call and get your ticket.
Sharon sounds more stupid everytime I hear this. He is obviously loaded with personality. David is right on target with his comments. Bless him for speaking up for Donald.
Everytime I go back and watch these videos am more shocked that Donald Braswell did not win. He is in ALL ways the outstanding performer of the season, IMO.
He's definitely got natural stage power. His quality is beyond compare. LLoyd Weber should of had him in several of his productions. Starlight Express, etc., even Phantom. Have you heard him sing Music of The Night?? He'll blow you away first time out, hands down. What incredible talent. Raw, natural. These judges, especially the lady Sharon, she just doesn't give him credit where credit is deserved. Keep in mind that he's not professional yet, but he's within 5 notches from being there!
@compsolkyweb I definitely appreciate that, mate, but I'm just speaking objectively to the performance. It's awesome that he has made it as far as he has, and like I said he definitely has future. That doesn't mean it wasn't overplayed in places and I still think he missed the last note.
@hosppally oh, c'mon bro, he was in an accident and lost his voice, luckily, he got his voice and talent back, i bet you're stuck on getting your voice back if the crash happens to you!
Love this performance! He has a different version of this song on YT from a concert in Las Vegas. Search "Donald Braswell Raises Us Up." This one shows how very much at ease he is on a stage. Donald has what it takes!complete professional!
For Donald's new album "We Fall and We Rise Again" call Barnes and Noble at 210 558 2078 for a physical copy or look for it on itunes under We Fall and We Rise Again by Donald Braswell.
This man is unbelievably talented. I keep checking his MySpace for his new CD coming out. I have his last CD beautiful voice he can sing anything from opera to pop. From everything I've read his next CD will be all songs he has written with the exception of Nessun Dorma. Nessun Dorma separates great voices from the amateurs (like Neal Boyd). I'm anxiously waiting to hear Donald sing this beautiful song. Donald is the best around to day, his good looks is unquestionable. Wonderful humble man.
Also Donald has the lead role in a movie Which will be filmed in 2010 and his biography will be out in the Fall of 2010 Watch for him on a Tim Janis special on PBS
Donald always has a great tan all year he lives in San Antonio... in 2010 he gave 4 benifit concerts for the homeles in S/A
you know how you can tell this frekin crowd is retarded... he sounded the exact same in his audition , yet they booed him, this gay crowd appreciates the lights and special effects not the talent, they cheer him here....
Donald Braswell is the most awsome singer I have ever heard. He will be appearing in Carnegie Hall on Nov. 27th at 8pm. If you are in NYC, this is a must see.
this audience seems only to appreciate flashy lights and superficial hints of talent - this guy has amazing talent and they didn't realise it .... but it doesn't matter because he doesn't need them or anybody else - he is a star
Not only do I think he was "nice enough" to win the competition, I absolutrly think he should have won the competition. There was no one there that could even compare to him. He was absolutely the best performer that ever appeared on AGT. What was Sharon thinking?
He is marvelous! IT's easy to see why he was in the top 5 out of thousands of competitors. I'm just shocked that he didn't win 1st place. What in Heaven's name is Sharon prattling about??
Fantastic performance!!!!!! Why didn't he win 1st place? I think he shows a great personality -- AND in my book he would certainly win 1st place in physical appearance ! He's a handsome guy.
What a marvelous man and incredible singer! No one I've ever heard comes close. I've had to file away all my other music because it pales in comparison and even joined a fan club for the first time in my life.
I cannot believe that Donald didn't win. He was the most talented and the most professional singer to ever appear on AGT. Donald has the most extraordinary voice, He sings with such passion and so much emotion.
I think I've seen all his videos on UTub but still can't get enough of this voice, he has to be the best looking man I've ever seen. Old Sharon sure acts up when she can't have everything she wants. Can't blame her when she looks at old Ozzie and then at Donald. He is the best living man to come along in a decades. His wife is one lucky woman....sorry Sharon that's the way the cookie crumbles.
I think he is definitely NICE Enough to win any contest Sharon, and, he should have won the contest. He certainly won my heart and the hearts of millions of Americans.
Donald is magnificiant, most talented person on any AGT. Only one to surpass him is Terry Fator (lat years winner). Sharon's nasty remarks (served with sugar) make me sick. Give this talented man a break.
I'm in UK and came here to search for this audition, did not realise this was done last year. Pleased he got through to the finals. Fab guy. good looker too.
Hi MistyBlueEyes55, You will be happy to know that there is an album/cd called "New Chapter" by Donald Braswell. It is beautiful. You can buy it on cdbaby or you can go on Donald's Myspace page and buy it there or you can hear other songs there of Donald's, some opera pieces and a song he wrote when he couldn't talk titled "Look at Me". It is very powerful emotionally. Google his international fan club too to find more details about Donald and upcoming events with him!
I totally disagree with Sharon, what is she on about?? he has a lovely personality, great looking guy and a great voice. Here in the UK we haven't got to the finals yet.
bodies30s, Donald does have an album out called "New Chapter" check out Donald's website on myspace or cdbaby. Donald has another album in the works. So you could check his international fan club to find out more about Donald and see when the next album comes out. His myspace has other songs to listen to and one song LOOK AT ME he wrote when he couldn't talk. It is beautiful!
Sharon's comment makes me sick. This man has more talent than anyone on the show. His voice is beautiful. Makes one wonder what her ultra motive is! Why so much disrespect for this (by both Brits) fantastic man.
I think Donald is an amazing singer. He is so versatile. I just found the video of him singing "Remember When It Rained " and it is beautiful. After seeing all his videos here, I don't think there is anything he can't sing.
"This female judge's voice is awful. Who is she to judge someone else on that point. Get this gal off the judge's bench. She judges how he looks? She belongs in a restaurant as a waitress. Her talent as a judge is outlandish.
Wow! This was even better than his audition. David Hasselhoff hit the critique right on the nose when he praised Mr. Braswell's wonderful performance. Mr. Braswell can hold his head up high because he beat the odds and recovered from his car accident to sing again.
Sharon is a cunt. Her husband has no voice and has to take steroids just to sing. This guy FOUGHT to get his OWN voice back without the use of drugs and he still rocks. I don't care what anyone says.. He should have won and quite frankly his voice is phenomenal.
Let Ozzy try to top that. He can't even hit those notes. She's a wash up and Ozzy is a has been. He did good when he was younger but he just sucks now and she's just looking to criticize someone.
Susan Boyle brought me here too! We have our own American 'Triumph Trumps Tragedy' story, the man has a DIVINE voice and our "judges" can't find anything better to say than "NICE" ??? What's going on here?...I've never watched this TV show before, (not even ONCE), and I certainly won't start now. But I WILL keep up with youtube ...Keep writing in, all you people who recognize REAL talent. TALENT.
If you want to keep up with what is happening with Donald Braswell you could check out his myspace page with more of his songs and he has an international fan club you could check out. On his myspace page you could order his album, New Chapter! It is awesome album!
What a beautiful voice. He has great talent, perfect stage presence and passion. Sharon's remark just doesn't make sense: "he is good looking, nice person, great voice but no personality needs to sing on Broadway so he can be someone else." Guess Donald being a true gentleman (smiling while taking Sharon and Pierce's crap) means he doesn't have a personality in Sharon's eyes. Sharon isn't used to a kind humble soul with a beautiful voice. Sharon...It's called class and good upbringing.
AMEN, JanJ7. Sharon has no talent of her own. She's a 'coat tail hanger-on'. Who would listen to her if it weren't for her husband's fame?! The answer is no one! Mr. Braswell has a rich voice & strikes me as a true gentleman. I hope he achieves great heights in his career. With mature fans like you he will definitely succeed! Best Regards
It's clear this man has an abundant amount of talent. These talent shows have nothing to do with talent should be called AOJH (AREN'T OUR JUDGES HALIRIOUS)
Check out Donald Braswell myspace webpage. He is doing several charity functions, one in May in 2 in June and one with a 70 piece POP orchestra in Kerrville, TX June 27.
These concerts will not be televised but he has a possible PBS special coming up later in the year that will be televised. Check out his myspace web page. He has a cd called New Chapter that is awesome, if you would like to hear more of his music and you can hear several of his songs on his webpage!
He sings much NICER than "nice." What's up? He sings AWESOME!!! No personality? What's UP??? Come on! I'd buy his music more than Neal E Boyd. Now that I know the title, I think I WILL buy it.
There is something fishy about the two Brit's remarks. Sharon's is obvious she has the hots for this guy. He has a damn great operatic voice, versatile as hell. His myspace music showcases his versatility. His "Change Is Gonna Come" is unbelievable. I agree with many of you he should have won. Instead he catches shit from the two Brit ass holes. What is with all this British nastiness toward this poor guy? As another poster said - both Brit ass holes get a middle finger wave from me.
Donald Braswell is a star in every way. This caliber of performer is rare...if he doesn't go right to the top, it;'s because of the low, trashy, commercial standards in the music industry, and the degeneration of musical tastes in this country.
OMG, this man looks and sounds like the great Franco Corelli. It doesn't matter if you like opera or not. Donald is enough like Corelli to be his twin. Donald's performance as Cavaradosi in Tosca and Avete Torto when he was a young man shows his greatness so like Corelli. His MySpace songs Buongiorno Princip and Addio Fiorito Asil is pure Corelli. Donald is ever bit as great. This old hag Osbourne is indeed mad in the head. Why would Donald even be on a show like this? He is too good.
Good comment Moody McDougal. Where are the show people that recognize talent when they hear it? Is it only black rappers who get recognized these days?
Where are the Broadway producers like Andrew Lloyd Webber? Why hasn't Donald been invited to the day time or night time talk shows to sing and tell his story. Post your emails to these shows people. If they can make Susan Boyle an overnight sensation, let's do it for Donald.
I think that Donald has the greatest voice I ever heard. He sings with such emotion, that his performance is mesmerizing. I love listening to him. What a beautiful, talented man he is.
Donald braswell has the most fabulous voice. He should have won. What a stupid remark for Saron to make. No one can be too nice. He is so talented and so hansome. He is truly star quality.
I am totally shocked at the remarks made by Sharon. This show is the first place I have ever seen her on (I am not an Osborne fan) and I have been very impressed by her personality. She always said something nice to every contestant, her voice was always gentle, I thought her a true lady so I am very surprised at her remarks of Donald. "not good enough" "no personality", etc. Sharon, I can't believe you said the things you did! Shame on you! Go bite the head off a bat and suck its blood!
After watching this I agree with what EdNascar9 said. I would give Pierce a one finger salute too. He was so rude he didn't even clap, total lack of class. Something wrong here. Out of the top 5 contestants Donald was the only one singled out by Sharon and Pierce to constantly receive evil darts. He was the most talented on the show..Is this Simon's way of making sure his choice wins? Donald was cheated out of winning by judges nasty remarks. Hope this man goes far he deserves it.
Never saw this video before but did see AGT. this guy was the best talent AGT had last year, brings back old lady Osbourne's nasty remarks toward Donald Braswell. I want to add this which is so obvious now that I view her comments again:
Donald Braswell is too young for you Sharon. Were you not listening when he praised his wife..happily married man. Get over it Sharon. Pull your fangs in, the man is not interested in your old butt. To tell the audiance to shut you get a one finger salute
impossible voice !!!!!!!!!!

Sharon is a cunt. Her husband has no voice and has to take steroids just to sing. This guy FOUGHT to get his OWN voice back without the use of drugs and he still rocks. I don't care what anyone says.. He should have won and quite frankly his voice is phenomenal.
Let Ozzy try to top that. He can't even hit those notes. She's a wash up and Ozzy is a has been. He did good when he was younger but he just sucks now and she's just looking to criticize someone.

Susan Boyle brought me here too! We have our own American 'Triumph Trumps Tragedy' story, the man has a DIVINE voice and our "judges" can't find anything better to say than "NICE" ??? What's going on here?...I've never watched this TV show before, (not even ONCE), and I certainly won't start now. But I WILL keep up with youtube ...Keep writing in, all you people who recognize REAL talent. TALENT.

217Teacher,
If you want to keep up with what is happening with Donald Braswell you could check out his myspace page with more of his songs and he has an international fan club you could check out. On his myspace page you could order his album, New Chapter! It is awesome album!

Sharon is wrong.

What a beautiful voice. He has great talent, perfect stage presence and passion. Sharon's remark just doesn't make sense: "he is good looking, nice person, great voice but no personality needs to sing on Broadway so he can be someone else." Guess Donald being a true gentleman (smiling while taking Sharon and Pierce's crap) means he doesn't have a personality in Sharon's eyes. Sharon isn't used to a kind humble soul with a beautiful voice. Sharon...It's called class and good upbringing.

AMEN, JanJ7. Sharon has no talent of her own. She's a 'coat tail hanger-on'. Who would listen to her if it weren't for her husband's fame?! The answer is no one! Mr. Braswell has a rich voice & strikes me as a true gentleman. I hope he achieves great heights in his career. With mature fans like you he will definitely succeed! Best Regards

He sings much NICER than "nice." What's up? He sings AWESOME!!! No personality? What's UP??? Come on! I'd buy his music more than Neal E Boyd. Now that I know the title, I think I WILL buy it.

There is something fishy about the two Brit's remarks. Sharon's is obvious she has the hots for this guy. He has a damn great operatic voice, versatile as hell. His myspace music showcases his versatility. His "Change Is Gonna Come" is unbelievable. I agree with many of you he should have won. Instead he catches shit from the two Brit ass holes. What is with all this British nastiness toward this poor guy? As another poster said - both Brit ass holes get a middle finger wave from me.

im still wondering if the producers forced sharon and the other judges to say bad stuff to kick this guy out, they need to reduce to 2 after all.
but still.. :/

Donald Braswell is a star in every way. This caliber of performer is rare...if he doesn't go right to the top, it;'s because of the low, trashy, commercial standards in the music industry, and the degeneration of musical tastes in this country.

I just found this incredible man with the million dollar voice and looks to match. He didn't win?
Disgraceful if he didn't reach the top because of obtuse, stupid people.

OMG, this man looks and sounds like the great Franco Corelli. It doesn't matter if you like opera or not. Donald is enough like Corelli to be his twin. Donald's performance as Cavaradosi in Tosca and Avete Torto when he was a young man shows his greatness so like Corelli. His MySpace songs Buongiorno Princip and Addio Fiorito Asil is pure Corelli. Donald is ever bit as great. This old hag Osbourne is indeed mad in the head. Why would Donald even be on a show like this? He is too good.

Good comment Moody McDougal. Where are the show people that recognize talent when they hear it? Is it only black rappers who get recognized these days?
Where are the Broadway producers like Andrew Lloyd Webber? Why hasn't Donald been invited to the day time or night time talk shows to sing and tell his story. Post your emails to these shows people. If they can make Susan Boyle an overnight sensation, let's do it for Donald.

I think that Donald has the greatest voice I ever heard. He sings with such emotion, that his performance is mesmerizing. I love listening to him. What a beautiful, talented man he is.

This may sound dumb, but I wish there were a way that we Americans could help him produce a CD.
Surely there had to be people of influence in the theater/show business who saw this marvelous talent? Why do they not step forward?

I am totally shocked at the remarks made by Sharon. This show is the first place I have ever seen her on (I am not an Osborne fan) and I have been very impressed by her personality. She always said something nice to every contestant, her voice was always gentle, I thought her a true lady so I am very surprised at her remarks of Donald. "not good enough" "no personality", etc. Sharon, I can't believe you said the things you did! Shame on you! Go bite the head off a bat and suck its blood!

After watching this I agree with what EdNascar9 said. I would give Pierce a one finger salute too. He was so rude he didn't even clap, total lack of class. Something wrong here. Out of the top 5 contestants Donald was the only one singled out by Sharon and Pierce to constantly receive evil darts. He was the most talented on the show..Is this Simon's way of making sure his choice wins? Donald was cheated out of winning by judges nasty remarks. Hope this man goes far he deserves it.

Never saw this video before but did see AGT. this guy was the best talent AGT had last year, brings back old lady Osbourne's nasty remarks toward Donald Braswell. I want to add this which is so obvious now that I view her comments again:
Donald Braswell is too young for you Sharon. Were you not listening when he praised his wife..happily married man. Get over it Sharon. Pull your fangs in, the man is not interested in your old butt. To tell the audiance to shut you get a one finger salute
