The fact that JOJ was just drinking the night before and he did this without warm up and everything just proves how amazing and naturally talented he is as a singer.
Not only is JOJ a cutie he is also the sweetest ever! I love when he says, "Love you Alfie!" It' says something about a man that can show love for his friends!"
Brilliant!!! Alfie being his charming, kind, witty, exceptionally talented self...and John being gracious enough to "play along" and sing without any warning or warmup..two of the very best! What a fantastic video! Thank you Linda!!
This video kind of explains Alfie. Incredible voice, generous heart, and a very wicked sense of humor. And then there's the rest of the package too.... lolol Damn! this was good.
I have met both Alfie and John. I love the fact that their respect for each other plays out I this performance. I prefer John's interpretation of JVJ. It echoes Colm's yet elevates it. But I adore Alfie for his talent and his huge heart. These two men are among Britain's greatest talents and I feel so grateful to have both of them here in the US right now.
Their respect and warmth for each other is lovely. Wonder if it was set up... JOJ did an amazing job if he sang that with no warm up! Wish Ramin would join in and make it a trio 😀
I love how Boe, Owen-Jones, and Karimloo interpret this song. Owen-Jones' voice brings a sweetness to the song. I like the total expressiveness of Boe's rendition(s). Karimloo's version of the song at the BBC One's Songs of Praise is pure heaven. They are all gorgeous performers.
Bring on the jeers but I listen to this just for John's voice. I'm not saying Alfie isn't a seriously great singer, but he does nothing for me. I just prefer, *love* John's voice so much. Specially those lines he sings here. When his voice rises, my heart goes with it. Sad to say, Alfie leaves me unmoved.
That’s absolutely fine Marion, some voices touch us deep down into our souls. These two men both have a gift from god and I'm just so pleased they can share it with us all xxx
I know right?? Alfie has amazing voice + seems like really humble man, but he's just not my kind of singer...instead of JOJ, oh my god what a chill this man gives me all the time ♥
+Marion Jones You're not alone. This will probably bring on more jeers, but I feel the same way about Ramin Karimloo. Both of them are technically phenomenal singers, but they lack some of the passion and emotion that other singers bring to the respective roles. So they always fall a little short for me personally.
Watching this video is truly astonishing. Love that Alfie Boe takes the chance to bring upon a fellow singer in his field who is the talented John-Owen Jones to sing along with him. It really shows the appreciation of how singers like Alfie himself support others. Perfect!
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is indeed a magical moment -- the two great JVJs. You folks are so lucky to live in the UK and have access to these events. I can't help watch this over and over!
YAAAASSSS! I planned my 21st birthday trip to New York AROUND Alfie Boe performing in Les Mis on Broadway. The first "live" musical I ever saw was the Les Mis 25th anniversary on tv. Alfie Boe is the REASON I started loving Musical Theater. But I was also ticked because as SOON as Alfie left Les Mis, JOJ came in as his replacement. They are my two favorite Jean Val Jeans. I have checked one theater wish off my list. Seeing him as JVJ. Now I just need to see Ramin as the Phantom, and JOJ as the Phantom.
This video comes up in my feed just after seeing the newest headlines about the Hamas-Israeli stuff going on, I think of the kids on the bus I monitor, and I'm in absolute tears. Because the kid I just wrote up today is just 8 or 9. I may have needed to discipline him, cause he's a firecracker of a soul that is at that boundary-pushing age, and likely is ADHD (or, his parents suck at being parents)...but there's no way I want him harmed. Praying for all to find peace within, so there can be peace externally. 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😢😢😢
I love this. JOJ wow. The warmth and respect these two great talents have for each other is something to see. Alfie is my inspiration. There are no words for him except perfection.
Alfie is soooo damn good! Just casually takes the mic and starts walking around the stage whilst hitting the high notes like there's nothing to it! Thank you for this!
Appears my thank you landed in the Spam file. Will try again to say thank you, Linda, for capturing, and sharing, this most magical moment. The two reigning JVJs of our time, together again--priceless!!!
Linda so glad you got this. I was 2 rows behind you and thought you were filming it! An awesome performance by the two very best John Valjeans of the last 15 years! One of many highlights from last last night. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Stupendous! Both JOJ being nice of enough to just jump in there. And the great AB was at his best. Wish I could have been there, but thank you so much for the video.
The movie served its purpose. Jackman and Crowe are not singers but they can act. The movie reminded me how great Les Miserables. I love Alfie Boe and John Owen Jones., their voices are just beautiful. I have bought so many cds dvds music scores and tickets for the stage production of Les Mis and Phantom. The movie was a great business move. I can't get enough of Les Miz. Ramin karimloo, Lea Salonga, Sierra Boggess , Wow! I love them all.
The fact that JOJ was just drinking the night before and he did this without warm up and everything just proves how amazing and naturally talented he is as a singer.
?
If they sing regularly, they don't need to warmup nightly.
"And I am old, now I am gone" Loved it!!!!! still laughing!!!
LOL
Watched this three times one after the other and each time I go into a coughing fit (bronchitis is awful) because of that lovely little ad lib...
@@zeladoni3949 crying laughing but to be fair wow spectacular talent both
This video warmed my heart. Two singers, who could be competitive, showing the rest of the world how to support and let each other shine. Nice.
How quickly John harmonizes with Alfie was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE GIVE US A FULL DUET!!!!!! Or an album. That would be great too.
@Jo Mama *looks through my portfolio* oh look, no music degree or certificate saying that I'm a professional singer
My actual favorite video. "I am old..now I am gone"
JOJ is the BEST. Just saw him on 4/10 on Broadway!
Ayeee 3/25
Not only is JOJ a cutie he is also the sweetest ever! I love when he says, "Love you Alfie!" It' says something about a man that can show love for his friends!"
I can't help but laughing through this whole thing... And I am impressed at how fast Alfie picked him out of the crowd.... 😮
Just love the exchange between Alfie and John! Both vocals are off the chart.
Alfie is amazing,he really is...But John? Omg he's real angel of music!!
Brilliant!!! Alfie being his charming, kind, witty, exceptionally talented self...and John being gracious enough to "play along" and sing without any warning or warmup..two of the very best! What a fantastic video! Thank you Linda!!
This video kind of explains Alfie. Incredible voice, generous heart, and a very wicked sense of humor. And then there's the rest of the package too.... lolol
Damn! this was good.
......así es ....y el resto del paquete jejeje
John is the best , his voice does it for me
Alfie's innovation on "If I die, let me die" is spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do we deserve him?
I have met both Alfie and John. I love the fact that their respect for each other plays out I this performance. I prefer John's interpretation of JVJ. It echoes Colm's yet elevates it. But I adore Alfie for his talent and his huge heart. These two men are among Britain's greatest talents and I feel so grateful to have both of them here in the US right now.
Their respect and warmth for each other is lovely. Wonder if it was set up... JOJ did an amazing job if he sang that with no warm up! Wish Ramin would join in and make it a trio 😀
When JOJ and Alfie sang that first note together, I just started crying! I couldn't help it! Absolutely gorgeous!
This month I will go to watch JOJ & Alfie Boe concert in Tokyo.
So lucky!
I love how Boe, Owen-Jones, and Karimloo interpret this song. Owen-Jones' voice brings a sweetness to the song. I like the total expressiveness of Boe's rendition(s). Karimloo's version of the song at the BBC One's Songs of Praise is pure heaven. They are all gorgeous performers.
Alfie is the BEST. I cry whenever 😢I listen and watch him!
Respect and recognition between stellar talents🎉❤🎉❤

John's vocal simply soars!!

SAME
How must if feel to have been given such gifts as these two men carry around with them?
Alfie is truly a humble human being. 2020 getting me through this pandemic and unrest. Well, Alfie is resting my heart and soul. Bless you Mr. Alfie.
Their friendship is the cutest thing I have seen! 😍😍😍
I love this way more than words can describe.
Okay, I know I commented on this 2 months ago, but this is literally my favourite thing ever.
My favorite thing ever is listening to Johnny Cash and Elvis.
Sorry for the cheese folks, but seeing this has made me happier than I have been in a long time. Thank YOU so much for posting LINDA WELLINGTON!!!!!!!
Pleasure xxx
THIS CONTINUES TO BE SO WONDERFUL!!
ALFIE IS SO AMAZING, AND NURTURING TO OTHERS
My favourite ever Jean Valjean in John Owen Jones.
Watching this video is truly astonishing. Love that Alfie Boe takes the chance to bring upon a fellow singer in his field who is the talented John-Owen Jones to sing along with him. It really shows the appreciation of how singers like Alfie himself support others. Perfect!
I hope you get to see John as Phantom - he is The BEST. I saw him twice (on the same day)in his last week in London. Magic.
27ANNJAY On the same day? 😂 Any reason behind it?
Was only in London for 1 day & it happened there was a matinee & evening performance. Couldn’t resist JOJ x 2 🎶🏴
That's an awesomeness overload.
They're so adorable omg. And don't even get me started on their talent!
saw alfie a week ago on broadway, seeing joj on september 4th! couldn't be more excited
I saw JOJ a month ago it was fantastic
+CarlosEdu ahh that makes me so excited!!
What a lovely gesture from Alfie. He has a beautiful voice but nothing can compare to the magnificent voice of JOJ
My favourite singers in Musical theatre &so much more. Awesome talent! Thanks for sharing ❤️💜💛
chills, simply chills. Love Colm, adore Alfie, the swell in his voice gets me every time. And his comments re: Jackman, love it!
What can you say - sheer magic and genius, thank you Alfie and John. Great XXXX
Thank you for filming this and sharing this with us from the Royal Albert Hall. I still remember that moment I realised how good John Owen Jones was
Such wonderful singers, Love Love Alfie (and his great body) !!!!!!!!
Touching camaraderie there between these two great singers. So nice to see.
This is the most amazing thing that i have ever seen. Aahhh tears of joy!
Thank you so much for sharing this. It is indeed a magical moment -- the two great JVJs. You folks are so lucky to live in the UK and have access to these events. I can't help watch this over and over!
I was lucky to be at RAH to see/hear this live. Magic. Saw JOJ as JVJ on Broadway Apr 16th & Alfie in Neverland Apr 17th Both amazing.😍

I love this!!! Beautiful!
Alfie nailed that song ❤️
Thanks Linda! He is such a great guy. This was a real surprise and made my day. I really appreciate you sharing so many of these.
Linda, thank you for sharing this. Two amazing singers, one amazing song. I saw Alfie in Brighton, wish i'd been at the Albert for this

A most perfect song with a most perfect voice!
Oh my goodness! I absolutely loved this. Yaaaaa Aboe and JOJ!
Awesome. This made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Just so utterly beautiful.
Wow, again! This is just soooo lovely, quite grand really. Love Alfie Boe -- the real deal for me!
Thanks for uploading this! Was a magical evening and this was by far the best moment of the night! Goosebumps every time I watch it back!
Great video! I was sat 4 or 5 rows behind John, when he got up I shouted 'Go on John!'
I was at the show too. Bring Him Home was wonderful! It is a special song in my life.
I love this. JOJ wow. The warmth and respect these two great talents have for each other is something to see. Alfie is my inspiration. There are no words for him except perfection.
My inspiration is Johnny Cash.
"...now I am gone" Haha good one Owen! :D
Linda, fantastic. Bless you. Thank you.
Alfie is soooo damn good! Just casually takes the mic and starts walking around the stage whilst hitting the high notes like there's nothing to it!
Thank you for this!
I love these guys, their voices are beautiful.

2:13 "You can taaaaaaaake", is one of Alfie's best bits here and as part of the 4 tenors at the 25 th anniversary at O2
And Alfie's Mike dip about Hugh? Freaking priceless
JOJ really perfects hitting the perfect notes. Love Alfie too. Colm.
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

Dear lord- Alfie Boe is so attractive...
Hey, Linda! Thank you so much for sharing this moment!! =D
Brilliant! :D
That God brings them both home safely and sound
My two favorite Valjeans. Period.
Thanks Linda. This is awesome!!!
Fantastic
Other versions of this song get down on your knees and tremble before this one.
What magic. The two best JVJ's to ever step on the stage. A memory to tuck away and savor.
Love both these guys, and Colm.
Wonderful! Thank You, Linda :)
this was amazing!
You can't be gone John.
Long time no see, Linda. I could see both of them in Japan. They are always incredible for us:)
