I got chills with Michael Ball's voice. It hadn't change a bit.
i say it's gotten stronger sense les miz
Yup it's still mediocre.
he does a radio show on radio 2 bbc website every Sunday 11am to 1pm 😂
@@amyclarke41 He's delightful on that show. Lovely guy.
@@amyclarke41 Well, really, it's just BBC Radio 2...and I have listened to it a fair few times when travelling with my parents as my Mum loves Radio 2! He always comes across so genuine!
Alfie Boe has an amazing voice and together with Michael Ball, make a brilliant team! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I really enjoyed seeing Les Miserables The Staged Concert at the Gielgud Theatre in London on Saturday 5th October 2019 in the matinee afternoon performance and it was brilliant and I saw it with Alfie Boe, Michael Ball and Matt Lucas and they were amazing
32 years later and Mr Ball has still got it
better go and see his doctor then,
Yes! I saw him in the original cast.....wonderful :)
He never withers
@@manueldelgado5336 he is a arrogant prick.
@@andyroughyed3642 Troll!
Wow... Two different singers who gel so well. Alfie is the conditional top tenor. All voice and vibrato. Michael is the top notch musical theatre performer. He tells a story but Alfie just sings, albeit very well. BUT... What a great couple. Luvvem.
Barry Gazey Ball is one of the best singers, hands down
Alfie was my first Jean Valjean, consider it's very fortunate or unfortunate, because I have hard time to feel the same goosebumps when sit on the theatre chair and listen to any other Jean Valjean
Ellen Fang try Colm Wilkinson :)
I feel the same, I was very lucky that my first encounter with the miserables was the 25th anniversary
I feel its the same with anybody who sees this fantastic show, for me, Colm Wilkinson will always be Valjean, for a friend of mine, its Hugh Jackman. You just cant beat your first time
Ellen Fang ...Collum Wilkinson was mine....never forget that night!
Colm Wilkerson the original Velijean always followed by Alfie Boe,and R Karimloo.
Alfie Boe singing "Bring Him Home" gives me goosebumps every time! As much as I love the film version with Hugh Jackman ... Alfie Boe will always be the best Jean Valjean =D
Emma Seymour Besides the orginal Colm Wilkinson.
Colm was the priest in the film version.
I too love Alfie, but John Robyn live equals him at the very least - sublime
Alfie Boe's version is the best ever version of bring him home , every time i hear him sing it just brings me to tears, and Michael Ball is the best Marius his version of empty chairs and empty tables is breathtaking. These two have the best theatre voices and stage presence i have ever seen, they sing wonderfully together. xxxx
i love alfie, but to me Colm Wilkinson is still the best. The song is meant to be a prayer sung by an old man. No question that Alfie has a volcanic voice, but to me the song require's colms delicacy, frailty even (oh and the INSANE lung capacity on the last note)
@@decadencewhimsyandsarcasm i agree, nobody can beat Colm Wilkinson. he's the best Jean Valjean.... like how nobody can replace Michael Ball as Marius
Alfie is brilliant but nobody does it better than Colm Wilkinson. He has the age, experience and passion. He is the gold standard.
The part was written specifically for Colm Wilkinson, the original can NEVER be improved on but others interpretations are valid and Alfie Bo is exceptional but Michael Ball is very ordinary, average even, nothing special I've heard better in the pub on a Friday night.
@@liamconnolly9233 Michael Ball is far from ordinary his voice and range is extraordinary , Hense why he is a huge superstar.
Les miserable is the best musical that was ever written!!
I really enjoyed seeing Les Miserables The Staged Concert at the Gielgud Theatre in London on Saturday 5th October 2019 in the matinee afternoon performance and it was brilliant and I saw it with Alfie Boe, Michael Ball and Matt Lucas and they were amazing
And that is on period
I love every musical there all unique in there own way!! ❤️
You mean there are others????
Second best. Phantom is the best.
3:59 Jesus Christ, a Tenor shouldn't be able to go that low, but somehow Alfie does. What an incredibly massive range.
That's what I thought too!!!
Alfie has a 2.5 octave range. In other words, he can go from countertenor to baritone.
Allfie is just impeccable for me, he creates so much emotion and depth.
Every time I hear Bring Him Home, I get the urge to adopt a dog.
Bro xD
I get the urge to bring Michael Ball home. I'd run off with him tomorrow.
Love changes everything
Do it do it do it
Played Bring him Home at my little brother’s funeral 😢😢
Fantastic performance from 2 masterclass performers from musical theatre x
Linda Wellingtons7 has
So wonderful to hear this 😊😊
Sitting here in Sweden listening and don't know what to say - amazing!!!
Thank you for share all those marvelous videos 😊😊
Linda Wellington i
the 47 person who disliked all thought this was too short
No matter how many times I watch this I have cried every time, that key change near the end by Michael Ball after 5/6 minutes powerful singing is done to perfection, and the tone and sustained resonance of Alfie Boe is beyond belief and truly demonstrates the class of both singers!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW and WOWWWWWWWWWWWW !
The depth of Allie Boe’s voice gave me chills
Yes, depth is the word I was looking for to describe his voice. Almost other wordly
its so weird hearing people cheer for them in the audience. that would never happen in a theatre lmao
I don't blame them as this was so exceptional, I actually rewound this on the night so that I could watch again
No one would applaud in a theatre?
We were told we had to. First take was just a normal reactions and we got right telling off for this. I agree it would not happen normally.
That's why I prefer a theatre production!! Can't handle audiences cheering during a song, baffles me to this day! Cheer after!!!
That's why they tour as singers.
Every time Michael Ball performs "Empty Chairs," I'm just speechless.
Me too 😭😭
It is may favourite song.
I delayed buying Michael & Alfie's album "Together" until last Sunday & was knocked out by the opening Les Miserables Medley. This live performance demonstrates the power of their voices & this video was very well produced. Thank you BBC.
I wouldn't say Michael Ball gets better with age.
He was ALWAYS a magnificent singer, and he has lost none of his talent or voice.
He was great at the start and he is still great.
He peaked over 30 years ago.
Alfie Boe is so amazing no matter what he sings I get chills and the tears flow but amazing duet by both
That One Day More rendition just gave me an idea on how to sing the overlapping voices. Btw, it almost sent me to the ER.
I saw Michael sing the role of Marius in London I suppose it’s nearly 30 years ago. I was reduced to tears it was so amazing. 💜
Me too , with Colm Wilkinson , it was breathtaking
The 10 anniversary concert with Colm Wilkerson and Micheal Ball.
I think alfie as the phantom could be cool
Aaron Judd I said the same thing to him when I stage doored Les Mis on Broadway.
Nah Ramin Karimloo was the perfect one for me.
Lauryn Brianna
Omg, what did he say?
@@meaganodell4479 Me too!!!!
Meagan O'Dell exactly he's PERFECT for the phantom 🤩🤩
watching this just made my day . for a while ive been a fan of Michael Ball and his performance as Marius in my opinion is the best one ive ever heard, other singers just dont have the amount of power and energy to sing this part im so happy he sang this song again he literally owns this song after singing it so many times
Toti Andruchow you do know that Michael Ball was the original Marius?
Michael Ball,you are better than you have ever been........CONGRATULATIONS xxxxxx
OMG Alfie Boe YOU CAN SING! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I HOPE to see you perform LIVE 1 day in the near future! *APPLAUSE*
I've seen Alfie Boe perform twice. Mesmerising, brilliant, wonderful talent.
Absolutely loved this performance of a medley from Les Miserables sung by Michael Ball and Alfie Boe. Superb vocals.
I listen with tears, as I think of my husband now in hospital for a surgery. He is alone and I can’t even see him. So i shout out loud the same words: bring him home safe and healed from his pain. ❤️ #Stay safe everyone!
God bless you.
I hope you can bring him home soon!
I hope he has healed amen 🙏
Love these two beautiful men, for their talent, their wit and their stage presence. (from Australia)
Just cannot mention enough how Les Miz is getting me through this 2020 pandemic and unrest. Thank you Mr. Alfie Bow and every cast member imagineable. Bless you all. A gift from heaven Mr. Bow. Thank your lovely wife for sharing Alfie with us. Peace and Blessings
Micheal you are wonderful to listen to as well with a great personality. How often does two men sing well together and have great singing chemistry. I pray many years together and have fun. This is a one way ticket. Live until all wheels fall off. I am beyond addicted and love this natural high. My bucket list is to see Mr. Alfie in person no matter how much the cost and at 63, I don't care. All the way from New Jersey. Kudos
Graham please get Alfie and Michael on your show plz plz plz
This is true camp. I haven't seen anything so wildly overproduced in years. The climax is unforgettable. I enjoyed it immensely.
Spine shivering perfect performers. I can wait to listen to the new album.
Hi pretty I know this is like a dream to you thanks🥰. I appreciate you guys for your love toward my music 🎵. I'm glad you never stop supporting me.. feel free to contact me through email address on the description of the channel.
What marvelous singers. “Bring him Home” is my favorite song from Les Miserables. I fill up when I hear it!
At 5:12, the goosebumps were nearly unbearable! Two of the best male singers of our time, in my opinion. Thanks for posting this!
Michael Ball still can play Marius
I just Alfie Boe fan girled so hard. My favorite Valjean by far.
but colm...
Alfie is good but Colm is the best
I completely agree
Colm is the Goat, but as far as range and voice, Alfie is just in another stratosphere
Jaron Torbeck bring him home wasn't meant to be sung that high. Colm wilkinson was the one who decided to sing it that high.
😍😍😍😍absolutely in awww. incredible arrangement
That was outstanding!
My favorite musical of all time. And these voices cannot be surpassed. But I hope without sounding overly negative I can say I found all the glitz to be distracting. Right from the beginning, standing on the pedestals, just seemed to be gilding a lily that didn't need gilding. Like putting lipstick on a diamond. Pyrotechnics and wild lighting... just seemed to detract from the elegance of the music itself. Again, not a huge complaint, just saying how it seemed to me. I've seen this musical about 30 times. Good music, great story, profound messaging.
Agree completely.
They’re just wonderful together or alone ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for all the beautiful music 🇬🇧
Wow. May they sing forever together. Like 2 heavens in a basket. Perfect pair.
"Like 2 heavens in a basket". Perfect description!
Staggeringly wonderful, touches the depth of your soul. Thank You
Michael Ball hot
It doesn't get better than this! 2 of my favorite male singers sharing their talents! Simply brilliant. I only hope you guys choose to do it again and again!
Went to the O2 concert. Most amazing experience.
Seeing the original cast from the Barbican. I was there.
Seen Les Mis probably 15 times.
Most incredible musical I have ever seen on the London Stage.
Saw Les Mis on the big stage for the first time yesterday and I was blown away. Emotionally drained today but can't stop listening!
You and Alfie in the staged concert of les mis as Valjean and ball as javert thumbs up.
Gotta love Alfie Boe's beautiful powerful voice...Always love Michael Ball
This arrangement should have been on the album!
Awesomeness ²! Both Amazing! But, the POWER EXPLODES FROM ALFIE!❤🎉
I love Stars from Les Miserables you know, it's a poignant poetic lyrics Stars.
For those who need a break from politics and enjoy the beautiful a music os Les MS, this is for you!!
Alfie Boe!!! Eye Candy Over Flow!!! now look, a big mess all over my keyboard.....
"Bring him home" is so beautiful.
2 of the most incredible voices on one stage. What a treat.
Oh, that was absolutely perfect!! Just wow!!
This isn’t appreciated enough
THE PERFECT DUO BRAVO TO THE BOTH OF YOU.LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW
CD/DVD
wow it's absolutely breathtaking
There is no equal to Alfie. He is in a stratosphere of his own.
Just love these two❤ Les Mis is my favourite musical it doesnt matter how many time I hear the music/singing fantastic. ❤
Oh, be still my heart. This was more than superb.
This is Alfie and Michael at their absolute best...these two were born to sing together
Beautiful music by two beautiful voices. Fantastic.
Perfect .. love Les Mis ..
I am so in love with Michael Ball...LOL.
If people are forever yelling and cheering in the middle of songs and waving there arms about like idiots then I am glad I cannot afford to go to their concerts and listen to them on their CDs without interruption! I think it is a complee lack of respect for the performers.
I saw a reply that said they were told to clap, and they got told off for not clapping in the first take, so i think people wouldn’t be yelling and cheering in an actual concert, this is just for advertisement
Wow, truly amazing.........................
October 1985 I heard Michael sing Empty Chairs on the opening night in the Barbican❤️❤️ This December I shall enjoy him performing as Javert, with Alfie as Valjean. It will be my 40th viewing of the live show❤️
Enjoy!
Amazing performance ❤❤❤
alfie has a once in a decade voice
Powerful awesome song my name is craig king from Pembrokeshire in Haverfordwest
Breathtakingly beautiful. The power of music revealed.
I had to dislike due to the cheering and clapping of the audience. It’s just so disrespectful and out of place
wow - 2 great voices together! amazing
Truly soul wrenching, Emotional, fabulous, fantastic, not enough words to describe this performance and how it made me feel, literally covered in goosebumps and welling up with tears... Just try to ignore the people in the stupid audience..
daisybelles This was the second take - audience was directed to react this foolishly. During the first take they were silent, in awe.
Amazing performance
But can't help to feel that there's something missing with one day more ( my brain automatically put in all the other lines from the song)
The way Alfie Boe goes from chest voice to head voice so effortlessly is something I haven't seen many other Valjean's do. Most of them have to mix at some point but he just goes straight there.
Masterclass xx
I love Les Miserables it’s my favourite musical I’ve watched it loads of times and it even makes me cry 😢
wow, with a capital W :)
Jason Hatfield I agree absolutely beautiful 😀
Why start with a lowercase, tho? hahahhahaha i agree, it was breathtaking
Jason Hatfield .......Fucking Fabulous with 2 capital Fs!! I cried!!
Nobody Nothing jimmy cagne y
Why the F bomb? I hate that.
Love Michael Balls voice.
Wonderful
These two are amazing. :) 4:16 onwards definite fave :)
the sheer amount of talent in that room is just overwhelming
Pitch perfect 3.
Speechless, which is odd for me !
Brilliant by both Alfie and Michael.Thanks for uploading x
Every time Alfie sings the note G4 :one day more....the beauty of it. Goosebumps!!!!
Plus he sings with all of his being!!!!!
Then in 2019 Michael Ball and Alfie Boe were in Les Miserables The Staged Concert at the Gielgud Theatre in London
Great performance from both Ball and Boe, but... How dare you have Javert's lines sung by a choir. How... How dare you.
JavaBro totally agree.
fantastic both singers truly blend together love them both.
Soooo amazing !!!! Gives me the chills. Wish I could like this 1,000 times over!!!!!
Two of the greatest talents together in the fabulous Les Miz!!!
Yes.
Allie is such a damn powerhouse. He owns Bring Him Home even though Colm Wilkinson was the first to give that song the full depth of emotion it deserves. Michael is a bit hammy but no one sings Empty Chairs like him. Bravo, boys.
AMAZING! so much talent and emotion!
No words just total admiration
Holy cow. I would so love to have seen Alfie play Jean Valjean. Amazing. Michael, great as always as well. I never got to see this show on Broadway. Did see an amazing cast do the show in Los Angeles though. William Solo as Jean Valjean, Karen Fineman as Cosette, Reece Holland as Marius and Michelle Nicastro as Eponine. I don't remember who played Fantine. That show completely rocked my world back in high school. A M A Z I N G!! = )
Darcy Doll you might be able to see Alfie. He was Valjean for the 25th anniversary show. It’s probably up on TH-cam somewhere
Absolutely Amazing!! You make music that goes straight to the heart! I could listen to you for 24hrs and never get tired of hearing your voices. Bless you and thank you!
incredible performances by both Michael & Alfie - but what the hell were the producers / production designers liking of - you've got two of the best on your stage just LET THEM SING
this gave me goosebumps (plus, i was waiting for somebody to wave a big red flag at the back when the song reached its last note!)
