[taylorkalister]

That was amazing. The older guy sung beautifully. And also the kid did very well. Hood job

The oldest guy has ALOTT of talent and should continue with some type of music and as for the little boy is so also very talented and I hope they both become something amazing

[paulobrienfan]

Yup he was.Clinton's awesum.

[mrjhojho92]

nice

[paulobrienfan]

As i've said before, this was a rehearsal...so of course there's gonna be people yelling in the background and telling him how to improve..so that for the real thing..it'll be amazing. You're great Sam and Clinton! x

[AnilQa93]

Ten chlapeček je..AMAZING!!!! :o)

[HamishMouat]

Good job Sam!! You were really good back then and you have just improved so much!!

I like AHU yelling in the background haha. Reminds me of the old days!

[DShannon08]

ya hes strong i dont see her up there singing like little sam and his hot friend yummmm

[pacsunlove19]

They are both really good. This is a godly song and then people come and curse in the comments. Come one you guys no how disrespectful that is.

[cherandcheralike4]

and i do not mean to sound harsh... i have turned down 2 record contracts myself! so i do know what i am talking about!

[cherandcheralike4]

THIS BOY SAM HAS TRUE TALENT! NO NEED TO YELL AT HIM! that is un pro and un excuseable GROW UP AND LET HIM SING WITHOUT THE GRIEF you will take away the joy of music and whatever relationship you have with him! seriously!

[MTwannaB4jesus]

the guy is awesome!! the kid needs to get stronger and less nasally, but no doubt he will get better as he gets older. love the guy though!!!!!

[dog74586]

.......nice but ya as eating said the backgorund people do sound rude

[sebastianhajj]

sounds like an italien accent

[Celticanine]

OMG he was on disney i saw him lol

[EatingRainbows28]

He is AWESOME

But when he's singing the guy needs to STFU he's doing AMAZING.

I think they're too hard on him though...and some of the people talking in the background sound likes assholes >:l

To be honest I sorta feel bad for the kid, must go through a lot of shit everyday.

HE'S AWESOME THO :] Good vid

[paulobrienfan]

It's a rehearsal though..not like the real thing..so that's why they're talking..to help them.

[vivelego100]

very beautiful voice

[82uhg]

i come from germany..

the man singing so awesome

and the boy too

so sweet the little boy ^_^

[marinelli115]

Nope... it's sam verlinden not declan galbraith

[ShikamaruXX51010]

that guy could not have been any more annoying

[JiyunatoriBL]

that guy that is singing is AWSOME!

and the boy was AWSOME TOO!!!

They should be an award winning duet duo band!

[TheMexicanAzn]

Amazing,...Talaga keep up the good work...Salamat..thankyou. Very insperational!!!

[daj31088]

I'm sorry to say this but, the Kid is singing threw his noise. but over all he's good not the best but good.

[Xfactor09ful]

i thought he did really good for an 8 year old to be honest

[LarissaGer]

I absolutely agrre with you! He's good in fixing the notes but nobody should forget that he is cute 8 years old then.

But I think the first singer is amazing! He's really talented!

[babycomeback01]

who's the funy guy in the background reapeting parts of the song i found that very funny but stupid

[coffeefreak123456789]

Amazing Sam

[Tanishaluvzmumbai]

he reminds me of declain braithwait in his "tell me why" days!! the way he delivers his body language

[anorielrose]

Declan Galbraith?

[Clairelily85]

Sam, I saw this video earlier this year, and I thought it was awesome. I think both you and Clinton did a great job.

[ShootMeShellz]

Great Job Sam

I like this song

[Coonskinman]

Why is the boy dressed like as a jedi?

[bverlin]

This was a rehearsal, and he was in the middle of rehearsing for his role of Oliver - hence the Jedi outfit. Altho I can't remember Oliver looking like a Jedi !!

[animechild227]

@Coonskinman

hes an orphan nuff said

[cherrypicker13]

lmao the kid in the background is like "YEAH STRONG" thats howls

but good job dudez

[VampireSweetheart01]

This is amazing =]

[jessiloveshim87]

hes too cute[ : and that guys is really good!

[chazxx12]

awr hes well cute im only 12

[Arirang1989]

They're both very fine singers and, yes, so cute. What is the relationship between the two? The older boy is not identified anywhere above.

[wizard1396]

Wow great voices both, Sam especially for one so young! Gary

[MacGyverMagic]

Sam should sing this song more often.

[Kaigen2010]

The older one is cute! Clinton is it? very nice voices the both of them!! <33

[samyxx5]

who the hell is yelling in the background

[Jelloyumyummy]

Anyway hes being rude

[FILIPINADANCER09]

@samyxx5 The director! HAHAHA

[stad97]

Sam's so sweet. His arm gestures and so cute. Is he Indian, or is that just the lighting? And they're so adorable at the end when they look at each other. I can see in the related videos, 10 year old Sam. He looks quite Asian. But here he looks kind of Indian.

[bverlin]

Sam had only JUST turned 8 the week before - in this video, so he was only little - and Clinton is quite tall.

Sam is 1/4 Rarotonga, 1/4 Dutch and 1/2 New Zealand .... so he's got a splattering of colour in him - which probably could be mistaken for many ethnic origins.

Thanks for your comments!!

[stad97]

Thanks a bunch bverlin. Just one thing, is his dad or mom from New Zealand? And is his grandmother Dutch or his grandfather? And what is Rarotonga?

Sorry, I ask a lot of questions.

[bverlin]

Sam's dad is from New Zealand and is 1/2 Rarotonga (which is in the Pacific Islands) and 1/2 Dutch. So his grandfather is 100% Dutch and his Grandmother is 100% Rarotonga.

Sam's mom is 100% New Zealander.

[stad97]

Ok, thanks so much, I won't bother you anymore.

[stad97]

well, actually, one last question. When and where was he born?

[bverlin]

Heheh, no worries - Sam was born in Wellington, New Zealand on 1st October 1997. He's 11yrs old now - and he's a Libran star-sign. Thanks for your interest !!

[stad97]

Who's the guy singing at the start?

Sam's good for an 8 year old. They should really tune it up a little, Sam goes quite soft on the low notes. Isn't Sam's shirt a bit big for him?

[bverlin]

This was a rehearsal and Sam was wearing his Oliver costume from the show he was in - this performance was a pre-show. Clinton is the older guys name. Thanks for your comment.

[heleeeeenx]

who's the geezer shouting stuff? he's ruining it, haha. this is really good. yeah, he's so good now!

[stad97]

He's probably the director telling them what to do. Dunno.

[bverlin]

Yep, that was the Director - the late Mr Alex Urban. This was a rehearsal for the preshow performance. thanks for your comment.

[MissSuus1988]

How Sweet together!!

Sam you're okay, maybe you can get some lessons for the future?!? Keep it up..

The older guy is fantastic :D

[stad97]

Yeah, but you have to admit, for an 8 year old, he's preety good. And is it me, or is Sam a little small for 8? Or is it just'cause he's with the big guy?

[bummerboi2]

very good singer for his age brilliant

[stad97]

Ya, I agree.

[geeza06]

Both Cack! LOL.

[wolfdogboy]

The big guy is a pretty good singer! Both of them, actually!

[WdFalcon]

Cool!

[lisa15089]

OMG voll good

[wizard9a9]

The guy shouting in the background is amusing... "You are strong!"

[stad97]

Haha. Yup.

[paulobrienfan]

Oh it's Clinton!!! x

[JonasTour2009]

hes ok... he wasnt that good then but ow this kid is amazing!

[Cocobambina]

0mg that is S0 AMAZiNG! O.O

Thats undescribeable. wow. im speakless!

[Ecka0007]

[stuarty619]

[paulobrienfan]

[Katey2004]

[jbting]

[cateyez79]

[achiev0thisocape]
