Hey, that's me on electric guitar (in the purple shirt and long hair behind the fiddle player)! It was raining cats & dogs that day & we were sure that NBC would cancel us and reschedule - Nope! Stage hands were squeegying water off of the stage just seconds before we started the song.
That was so beautiful, what a nice song.....wish more singers would sing songs like this....so inspiring, Billy had a beautiful voice then and still does now. Awesome older video!
Such a pure and innocent voice. I love listening to Billy, even now that he is older. He has gotten through the voice change and sounds great but I just really love these early songs like this and Oklahoma.
When I first heard this song a decade ago, the words just shocked me. And the imagery in the video made me shake my head, and in my mind I was asking myself, is this what the world and America are coming to now? So many young souls involved in violence. In a way, isn't this song prophetic in that it somehow warns everyone that things will get worse unless anybody does anything about it? I still adhere to prayer and I believe Billy's song is right. One voice had been heard, and more voices will be heard if we all still continue to pray and ask for intervention. This song gives so much positivity it's impossible not to love it and agree with it.
It did get worse. There is so much hatred and crime in this world. This year, 2022 has been the worst year so far. We all need to pray harder and learn to love one another better. God help us heal. 🙏❤️
I've sung this song 5 times for charity concerts and fundraisers.Billy is my inspiration and It would be the world to meet him.I sing his songs everyday and I listen to them everyday.I would cry for a week if I met him and my life would be complete
Time flies. I remember watching this LIVE on the morning show...my son was currently singing this song at various local karaoke restaurants and also outside of Radio Shack at our local mall...and it wasn’t long after he was invited to sing on Jenny Jones...then went on to Star Search, but his fame never really kicked off like Billy’s did. We did get to meet Billy in 2001 when he was on tour in San Diego. It’s just weird how all of that seems like just yesterday. Time flies so fast. Now Billy is 29 or 30 years old. So strange how quickly it all passes.
I'm very proud of you for coming out Billy. Your love & passion for music and life is apparent. You've touched millions of people and that's what it's all about. Not your sexual orientation. Heads up buddy. All my best to you in life & career. Eric.
You have such an amazing voice! You just draw me into your world. Such powerful message of hooe for peace and love for one another. We need more of that! And from someone so young. You can see you really feel and beleive what you are singing.
His voice now is good but none better than when he was younger. I really liked , well, loved his voice a lot then and I still think he's a d---- good AWESOME singer even though his voice can't ever be any better than when he was in his youth. Back then his voice actually softens the hardest of hearts! Even as l sometimes cry when I hear your voice, l know that you truly ROCK this world to the core ! Keep it up man l like you a lot!!!! Dave kilby from Lynchburg Virginia.
Just like Uriah Shelton, he really does ROCK and his singing and acting both are AWESOME!!!! Billy Gilman is my favorite singer and Uriah Shelton is my favorite actor! Tom Sangster & Freddie Highmore are my favorite English actors. Dave kilby
I saw him perform this song on an award show when this song first came out and what really impressed me was that it was the rappers in the audience who cheered and clapped the loudest for him. Busta Rhymes was blown away but that isn't surprising, this boy can sing!!
Billy had great respect for his Nana back then when he sang this song and recently she passed away shortly after he gave a concert for his 21st birthday. He dedicated a song to his Nana at that concert. This is one geniune nice kid.
Aww this video is so cute, I got 100 million goosebumps when he sings in this video, such a touching song, it's not fair how it only rains balloons at his concerts. Thank you for the video
@skyllo, I AGREE with you 100percent . Your comment here.made me cry and I can't even think of any reason to even dislike him.Why l not ONLY like him, l LOVE Billy Gilman!!!! from Dave kilby from Lynchburg Virginia
Logan Peyton, I agree with you ONE HUNDRED percent! Billy Gilman is a child of GOD and he LOVES Billy Gilman more than anyone could ever love! I know being gay is an abomination against GOD but GOD still LOVES us all including Billy Gilman as GOD is the god of LOVE!!! Let us all remember that will we please? Billy Gilman l like you a lot as a favorite singer and even as a friend as well! Yours forever, Dave kilby from Lynchburg Virginia 24501
Only person Billy has to make happy is himself.. All you hate spreaders hiding being books that can be interpreted in anyway the reader choose is just that. an opinion. and we all know what is said about that.. everyone has one..
So if you're gay and you're a pediatric surgeon who dedicates their life saving hundreds of infants from death, or perhaps gay and a Pulitzer prize winner, or gay and a human rights activist, etc you're all going to hell for your homosexuality because it's a sin! But if you're gay and can carry a tune? Hall pass, baby! There's nothing more noble than making pleasing sounds with your vocal chords, those are the real heros among us!
Well, I sure would not define that as being GEEEAATT! It is certainly a real loss for people that do not believe in Christ.I know that I am not a perfect person.However, I try too do the best in my life. Believing , is what makes me want to get up everyday.
@andrewhutchinson1815. You must be an AWESOME singer yourself if it sounds like your singing cause Billy Gilman is a DAMN good singer!!!! From a huge Billy Gilman fan Dave kilby
@collin4566 I am very happy to hear that he does not do drugs! I myself really HATE drugs and I would love to destroy/burn them like those who avoid drugs and crime etc Yes l am very proud of him not doing those AWFUL drugs Also, Billy Gilman is my favorite singer WAY TO GO dude, like you Billy Gilman!!!! Dave kilby
I quite agree with you @angelfair23 like what you said about him not being gay. One should never say that of anyone including Billy Gilman and also should never slander or spread gossip about him or anyone at all l don't like it when anyone says bad stuff about him. It makes me feel so SAD lt's just unbelievably cruel and disrespectful and noone wants it said about them either.NO He is NOT gay and YES, he means FEMALE fans By the way, I happen to be a Billy Gilman fan myself as.well. Dave kilby from Lynchburg Virginia
I like that Billy never sung any songs about being in love at this age. There are a lot of singers (ex Justin Bieber) who are nowhere near old enough to know what love is
This is so beautiful Billy Gillman is a very talented boy this made me cry from a 60 years young Irishman fan ❤😊
man I remember listening to this when I was young. cant believe he is all grown up now. he still has an amazing voice
Hey, that's me on electric guitar (in the purple shirt and long hair behind the fiddle player)! It was raining cats & dogs that day & we were sure that NBC would cancel us and reschedule - Nope! Stage hands were squeegying water off of the stage just seconds before we started the song.
You guys were "great"!!
Gorgeous
Great song! You all were great! ... PS. What's it like playing the same song over and over and over?
i remember listening to Billy when i was little and he was really good and he still is today
He was so freaking adorable. He still is honestly. Voice sent from Heaven ❤
But.........Did u know That Billy Gilman is G@¥ ?
That was so beautiful, what a nice song.....wish more singers would sing songs like this....so inspiring, Billy had a beautiful voice then and still does now. Awesome older video!
He's so adorable and he has such an awesome voice. He has great control and self confidence. I really loved this so much.
This is a beautiful song...I love the lyrics...really suits Gilman's sweet voice.
The song would be good for weddings and funerals❤
I think my prayer got answered listening to this voice back then and now awesome.
BEAUTIFUL vocals.....and WONDERFUL message!! Sure hope the message gets heard by those who NEED to hear it!
Such a pure and innocent voice. I love listening to Billy, even now that he is older. He has gotten through the voice change and sounds great but I just really love these early songs like this and Oklahoma.
billy was and is just incredible i just can't stop listening to his songs his voice is wonderful
he is great live too! I think the mark of a truly great singer is when they can sing anywhere, anytime. i love this kid.

I so. Agree. I heard it a long time ago and again recently with Home Free. It just made me cry
Truth hurts
It did get worse. There is so much hatred and crime in this world. This year, 2022 has been the worst year so far. We all need to pray harder and learn to love one another better. God help us heal. 🙏❤️
What a beautiful song.Billy you are truly blessed!
I've sung this song 5 times for charity concerts and fundraisers.Billy is my inspiration and It would be the world to meet him.I sing his songs everyday and I listen to them everyday.I would cry for a week if I met him and my life would be complete

I remember him singing Ben...absolutely wonderful. Lots of love Ben x
hes always that nice young guy.. no traces of being boastful.. genuine voice.. love it!!!
You said it. Most people don't know the real meaning of love, and I mean love unconditional. What an amazing voice
Just like Uriah Shelton, he really does ROCK and his singing and acting both are AWESOME!!!! Billy Gilman is my favorite singer and Uriah Shelton is my favorite actor! Tom Sangster & Freddie Highmore are my favorite English actors. Dave kilby

2013, song popped in my mind, felt the need to hear it again
It's 2017 and we should be praising this guy's ability not discussing his sexuality. It's totally irrelevant to his talent. He's got a lovely voice.
Damn I wish it was still 2017
@skyllo, I AGREE with you 100percent . Your comment here.made me cry and I can't even think of any reason to even dislike him.Why l not ONLY like him, l LOVE Billy Gilman!!!! from Dave kilby from Lynchburg Virginia

One of his CHRISTMAS songs New Kid In Town," l am going to try to sing it in church this December . Dave kilby
It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, as long as you can sing, you're an amazing person whether you are gay or straight!
Why would you say that ?
So if you're gay and you're a pediatric surgeon who dedicates their life saving hundreds of infants from death, or perhaps gay and a Pulitzer prize winner, or gay and a human rights activist, etc you're all going to hell for your homosexuality because it's a sin! But if you're gay and can carry a tune? Hall pass, baby! There's nothing more noble than making pleasing sounds with your vocal chords, those are the real heros among us!
He is a year younger than my sister I love to listen to your music Billy Gilman
He is a Gr8 Singer 👨🎤 🎤 🎶 🎼
Billy Gilman is ~sooooo~ TALENTED!!
Billy is such a cutie! And don't say he's gay, a lot of little boys are cheery and giddy just like that!
I love his beautiful voice
I love that song
Does it really matter that Billy is gay? He is still a child of God. And a HUMAN BEING!!! Treat everyone with kindness.
Well, I sure would not define that as being GEEEAATT! It is certainly a real loss for people that do not believe in Christ.I know that I am not a perfect person.However, I try too do the best in my life. Believing , is what makes me want to get up everyday.
no it doesn’t. You’re absolutely right!
He's cute
No it does not
I think he was my age when he wrote the song I'm 12😊
Ok, he's like really good live. Most singers aren't, but man he's good.
awe the days with no autotune, cherish the memories
Doesn't matter at all what his personal life is, he's a fantastic performer and person and that's all that matters, nobody's business outside of that
Gosh, he goes from a typical kid during the short interview.....and then he sings.
It was actually amazing. Now thinking back at the concert like it was a lot of fun..
My best friend and I have sang this in my church before we both love the song
