Porter Vixie! You have done the best thing for Kalan--keep him in the public eye & if you by some chance actually know him, tell him that his voice, his appearance , his whole demeaner attracts all generations & does much for everyone who hears him!
Wow! I just love this song. And Kalan Porter does an outstanding performance. It is so beautiful and Kalan sings it with such conviction and heart! Love - Liz xox
Is`nt Kalan just so amazing, I loved him so much before, but the emotion he puts into this song when he sings it is so beautiful, now I love him even more. And shout out to all the true Kalan Porter fans, I know Im one
Just what I needed in this crazy world. This is awesome. It is really touching to hear such a young person sing this with such passion. Absolutely beautiful!
Next to the man who originally wrote this song (Mark Lowry), Kalan's version is by far the best. You really have to have a reverence about you when you sing this song...you can't be a superstar while singing it. Kalan does it justice...unlike some of the whack versions I've heard.
I remember Sass Jordan making a comment about Kalan's incredible phrasing....well, this is one reason Kalan's version is so powerful....even two and a half years later, it still sends chills through me!
this guy is amazing. I was rooting for him all through idol and I was balling when he won. just by watching this it made me realize the true reason why he won. By his voice, not his looks. lol, no just kidding. Seriously though, he makes me proud to be Canadian. This song and his voice are a match made in heavan.
Only Kalan Porter and Mark Lowry (the man who wrote the song) can do this justice. I hate how this personal and intimate song has been slaughtered by sooo many artists...many of who don't grasp the emotion and the reverence and the meaning of the song. It makes me sad...until Kalan sings it and reminds me that he knows how to do his Saviour proud.
Wow I love this song, its so powerful and I'm so glad to know Jesus as my savior and that this amazing song is about him plus Kalan Porter is oh wow just the best its a good thing he won Canadian Idol
By far, this is the best version I've heard of this song. He's such a natural. I must admit that I thought he was overrated when I saw his first CI addition, but listening to his succeeding songs/performances and THIS performance, I totally now get why the judges were really impressed with him. He has the clearest, purest male voice I've heard in a while. Very unique.
as an american I say "This is the best gift from canada since maple syrup" Porter junkie keep em coming! People check Kalan out in redhottopics he is fantastic
OMG!!! Who is this guy? What an incredible voice. Chills! This is the very best rendition I've heard of this song. I'll have to check out his other vids here.
Drop-dead gorgeous voice! A few timing glitches between video and sound, but that hardly takes away from the whole effect of this montage, which is very, very good. Well done!
What a voice! And such a beautiful interpretation of the song too. I'm so impressed by this young man and can hardly wait for him to get his second cd out.
He lives in MedicneHat and am related to him and we were so happy when he found out he won! Holy shit!

I found Kalan Porter because I LOVE Gordon Lightfoot and Canadian Idol did a Gordon Lightfoot week.... How 'bout that?
They are so very different but so very good!
So I thank Gordon for leading me to Kalan.

I believe GL liked what he heard too - shortly after Kalan won, he invited Kalan to sing "If you could read my mind" at a tribute show for him (GL).
