@@HappyLife693 I was going to say that wayyyy before you. Actually i was thinking it before I saw video. I am known in my family as an acoustic clairvoyant. Ave maria e aahhhh. I would sing this in our prison choir.
Most people are just walking empty shells. This looks like London, the notorious soul draining city where everyone is running in their hamster wheel afraid to stop even for a second.
It would take something mighty important to keep me from stopping to listen to this young lady sing as all those other people walked on by. What a beautiful voice. Bonus: what a beautiful smile and unassuming demeanor. Thank you both for sharing this, one of the best performances of this song that I have ever heard. Simply beautiful. ❤️
This hymn is so special to me. My husband and I would have been married 60 years this year. He passed and this song was our favorite. It was sung at our wedding and his funeral. You and the young lady have brought me great joy this day. Thank you.
Virtues like truth and beauty are marginalized by the worldly powers that be. They despise and would destroy them both. In the end, they shall not prevail.
@@alonzogarbanzo I had to stop a whole family, Mom, Dad, 2 kids and Grandparents here in Canada, they were ALL on their phones playing Pokemon walking along a beach... Meanwhile, above their heads, a Bald Eagle was preening himself... I pointed to the bird on a pole 30 feet up, to be fair they were amazed...🦅
Oh my god, i had this in church for my daughters funeral 2 years ago, tears rolling, first time i have had the courage to listen to it, this is amazing, thank you so much xx
She opens her mouth and an angel flows out from her soul. I had goosebumps from the first note she sang. ❤. This was incredible. Thank you, bless you for this.
There are people with angelic voices. When you vibrate at a high level you will stop and experience their goodness. For those who just walk by their vibrations are much lower.
And not one person stopped to listen. The voice of an angel and a charismatic and wonderful pianist to accompany her.....what more do we need in our day people? I loved it.
I didn't understand what she was singing. But I could listen to her all day. Totally incredible a voice of a Angel. And everyone walking by, just don't understand that. Beautiful song thanks for sharing.
I usually avoid anything religious like the plague but I had to hear this all the way through. She's as blessed with her voice as you are with the piano. It was a treat to listen to you both. ❤
This young woman’s voice is so angelic, I can’t believe she was just walking to be somewhere. So many with wonderfully hidden talents we don’t see. Brendan, you did a great job not overpowering her voice. Thanks to you both for sharing this precious moment❤
I think Brendan head haunts his performers for his channel, but no criticism as he has brought us so much joy over the years from people we wouldn’t ever hear sing or play.
@@ronlheureux7623 No you can't! There's only one Britain. Unless you mean Britons, but can't spell. The young lady's voice is very sweet and I enjoyed listening to her very much.
Many who do not seek fame will have it thrust upon them. But, still most who deserve it will never see it. And God help those whom it is thrust upon, for many will not be prepared for it.
Her angelic voice immediately touched my soul so strongly that my eyes filled with warm tears rolling down my face. Absolutely moving and beautiful beyond words ❤
The fact, that almost no one stops and listens is definitely shocking. What the f..... else is better or more important than listening to this little peace of heaven.....shout out to Jessica Norton and of course Brendan Kavanagh - you were absolutely perfect....
The dynamics in rhe second part, where her voice was warmed up and fully resonant, were absolutely PERFECT! What a treat to my singer's soul, thank you!
We, who follow Brendan, know that he can handle a piano but this girl's singing was also superb! Greetings from the countryside in SE Sweden BTW. Thank You both.
If you are too busy in your life to be able to stop and listen to a blessing such as this, you need to effectually change your lifestyle. Bring back humanity!
How sad that not one person took a few minutes to appreciate some real talent, taking place in front of their eyes, and for no charge….absolutely beautiful
I would love to hear more from this talented voice so pure in her intonation. i’ve been thru a very rough period lately losing my wife of many years having covid and then losing my dog. my sister has been diagnosed with cancer and my own health has gone down a lot. this is the first item in my morning and how beautiful the pianist and to then listen to this purity of voice what a beautiful start to my day. thank you and Iintend to listen to this many times. you both have brought peace to my world .
I've been around for a long time and I've never heard a better or more beautiful rendition of this most beautiful song than Brendan and Jessica. BRAVO!!!
Wow, she was damned good! Just pulled off the street, no chance to warm up her voice and she starts belting out those beautiful soprano notes! As others have said in the comments, how can you not stop and listen to that and appreciate it? I'm looking at her thinking man, she'd normally be on a stage in a beautiful gown singing that. Beautifully done young lady, beautifully done.
And he just tells her good at the end? That was not the response I was expecting. She was awesome! And also took the time to sing with him. She talented and kind.
This performance has immersed me in two emotions -- First, serenity from the sheer beauty of the voice and music; and second, sadness that so many people were so busy hurriedly attending to the details of their lives that they couldn't pause even for a moment to appreciate it.
Exactly my sentiments. Not one single person stopped to listen to world class operatic singing. As you say they were too busy rushing to the sea like ignorant non cultured lemmings…..too busy on their phones talking dross.
Beautifully sung - and without a warmup! I can't believe that people were just walking on by. I would have hit the brakes so fast I might have broken something, to listen to such wonderful music as that... Thank you both for the unexpected gift.
I cannot believe that people just walked on by and did not stop to listen to this most beautiful presentation of Ave Maria. Dr. K this woman was beyond good. She was magnificent! I am not a religious person. This presentation makes me question myself. Thank you to both of you.
Her beauty, effortless clarity of voice lent with sincerity to John's playing, gave me goosebumps ... and yes, the world is fucked up when people don't stop to appreciate such awesome talent.
AGREE, Folks are dealing w/ issue after issue and folks don't remember how live.. All stressed , angry , uptight , 24 / 7.. FOLKS , STOP , LOOK AROUND , UP N DOWN AT WHAT WE HAVE
To be fair, at least one person sat down on the steps to have his lunch while listening. It looked like he was about to applaud, just when the video ended. But yes... So sad that the vast majority of the passersby were in too much of a hurry to stop & appreciate the beautiful music.
I just love hearing these very varied impromptu performances. The sponteneity of two people connecting briefly, to.make music, brings me pleasure. Brendan thank you. X
I am an old metal head from the 1980's. When I hear perfect pitch, my skin starts to curl, and I think the world is finally good again. This was beautiful. I hope this lady is working, doing what she loves! If not, I hope she is teaching and passing on her skills to the next Generation, so that our kids can have music, just like we did. With the classics, as well as those that brought us Metal, like Iron Maiden, and many others! Music is a language, not a sheet of paper! When written with class and skill, the animals will head,,,,,
Born halfway the 70's, gabber untill I'll die and still need a daily portion of techno...Watching this moment of two talented people got me into tears. I was shocked people just passed by, not realising they were passing by something special! No force in nature would be able to move me if I would have been blessed with a private performance like this.
And to think, if people put the same amount of time into learning to sing like this, than they do with “social” networks, the entire world would be an amazing place! This was lovely.
Are people so locked into their daily schedule that they can't even stop for 30 seconds? Even in Shawshank every prisoner stopped what they were doing to listen. Even if you don't like opera, Ave Maria transcends everything and it's just pure beauty and emotion.
@@zureai Hey argue-bot, you could have scrolled by this suggestion but you stopped here to listen. it would be extremely unlikely that someone that was listening would not even glance over at the artists,
@@seektruth8662 Not a suggestion, I’m subscribed to this guy. And I can browse on the web and comment while I’m sitting in my Uber towards my destination. Lol
I don't know about others, but i am usually in a city only when i am running an errand, and have no time to spare. The other thing is, that i don't like being recorded, so even if i would for some odd reason be able to stop and listen, i would look to be out of camera. Apart from that, classic music and actually being able to perform music without autotune and electronics is generally underappreciated today which is another reason nobody stops and listens.
@@nancyterrywhittemore2015 its always beautiful to see accomplished musicians play and sing with their harts. I don't think people know hiw much work has gone into learning how to play and sing. It brought tears to my eyes because of how beautiful it was. I dont even know the words. Avay Maria is is Italian? Beautiful done. Made my day .
The young lady is so talented, peaceful and humble and gave of herself completely to the moment. Her voice is effortless and melodious and the hymn came through as a complete spiritual message. Its Diwali as I hear this and I can feel the blessing. Thank you to both of you.
I waa brouvht to tears too. What are the odds of this being a chance circumstance? To be a musician of talent is hours and hours of work. Those two are phenomenal together. I learned how to play guitar . I appreciate music and talent when i see it. Those people walking by are clueless. I'm so glad and fortunate to see such beauty that words cannot do this justice. . Thanyou for making my day.
@@johnramirez5032 Hi John. As you say this does seem to be an incredible coincidence that an unassuming very talented opera singer happens to walk by. However the area looks to be Covent Garden in London, home of the Royal Opera House only a few hundred yards away,. Also it is bang smack in the middle of the West End where Opera is also performed at the Colosseum nearby. Bear in mind that not every trained opera singer can get work in opera and end up playing their talents in the West End musicals. She is extremely talented and it is a shame that nobody had the time to just stop and appreciate her talent.
A well trained human voice on top of her innate voice and skull shape. Very good, very pleasant to hear. No idea what an angel sounds like but unlikely to be defined by western European choral music and the buildings designed to handle it
Kudos to the one man who stopped to appreciate. What's with all the others? If we had someone playing and singing on our street, I would stop and listen for sure.
This is the umpteenth time that I have watched and listened to this young lady sing this song. I still got chills and had to wipe a tear from my eye. Such feeling, performed with modesty... Such a flawless voice and moving performance... ❤ I think I have loved music since before I was born (with my mother playing music and singing for me while she was pregnant with me). I cannot remember a time when I was more moved by someone performing a song than this. Too often, musicians perform for the critical listener. This woman, though, looked and sounded like someone who was singing from the heart. What a heart! How I wish I could see and hear more of her singing -- not as a performer, but just expressing herself. That, to me, is what music is all about. Feeling.
A world class singer spontaneously sings a classic on the streets and we all busily rush by in too much haste to stop and listen for a minute, what a pitiful lot we are.
WOW! Just phenomenal voice. Who wouldn't be completely moved after listening to this magnificent street performance. Thanks Brendan for yet another wonderfully powerful post!! ❤️ 🎼🎵🎶🎹
OMG, Brendan Kavanaugh.....what a beautiful surprise to hear the two of you ...her voice is of angels 😘....such pure joy to listen to on a terribly cold winterlike day....thank you so very much for sharing this treat❗🎼🎶🎶🎹😎🍁🍁🍁❤😘🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏
No matter what I was doing and where I was going, I would have had to have stopped. What is wrong with people???? That was absolutely beautiful and I find it sad that everyone was in such a rush that not one person stopped to listen and absorb a bit of beauty in these trying times. I loved it.
Notice, she sang this cold. No warm up, no vocal stretches, cold. That is talent.
I was going to say the same thing. It is remarkable.
@@HappyLife693 I was going to say that wayyyy before you. Actually i was thinking it before I saw video. I am known in my family as an acoustic clairvoyant. Ave maria e aahhhh. I would sing this in our prison choir.
I love my music 🎶 soul bowie 80s 60s 70s x yeah she's bloody great x smashing x well done x utwo x
It’s a good way to strain one’s voice. I’m sure she went and had a hot drink soon afterwards.
@@trevormiles5852
There is a huge problem with mankind when only one person allowed themselves to stop and enjoy this beautiful moment in time. Wonderful performance!❤
They don't know what to do.
Most people are just walking empty shells. This looks like London, the notorious soul draining city where everyone is running in their hamster wheel afraid to stop even for a second.
I agree and Fortunately for those who stopped by on TH-cam, over 7 million, they were treated to a beautiful performance. 😊
🙏💚🙏Wonderful 🙏💚🙏DANKE für die Er-innerung 🙏💚🙏
Stop making busy hard-working folks out to be monsters because they don't want to stand around on the street corner listening to somebody perform
How can anybody walk past without stopping 😢 Beautifully sung and played ❤
They are all listening to rubbish on their headphones.
My thoughts exactly!
Just heavenly.So many ignorant,soulless people in my opinion.😢❤
I'm baffled. How is everyone too busy to stop and listen to greatness?
I totally agree 💯
The moment she started singing, it was like the stormy clouds parted and a column of sun rays came from above. Goosebumps.
It is the music of Angels .
So beautiful.
Well said!
how can you walk past that? the world needs to slow down and appreciate a beautiful voice...well done
Totally agree.
I have commented the same a few times on Brendan's videos. Have these people no soul?
I was thinking the same thing !!!!
I’d stop and listen and I am not a fan of this sort of thing. (Or opera of any kind). Just beautiful
I don’t know how they just pass by
What a gift. So many people didn't stop, they show the sign of the times. Empty and missing all the beauty around them. This girl is a treasure.
Yes I was very surprised the lack of an audiance.
sad very😢some people seem to be numb to the beauty of the arts and nature
The girl being a treasure HAS to be the UNDERSTATEMENT of the CENTURY!!! ❤
What you say is 100 percent absolutely true. So many empty and hollow people in the world.
@@rugayagabier9978 Certainly seems that way.
Well done BRENDAN (one more time) . A NICE TIME hearing the ANGELS sings and the Pianist has opened HEAVEN' DOOR'S.
She wouldn't have done it without him ..He's a true artist...classical too !
🎉❤
“Ave Maria” rendition by Liberace (pianist) and Claire Alexander, soprano - pure joy - the best of the best!

Absolutely beautiful, people like this make the world a much better place. Thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪
Oh my god, i had this in church for my daughters funeral 2 years ago, tears rolling, first time i have had the courage to listen to it, this is amazing, thank you so much xx
Thank you for NOT turning Ave Maria into a boogie-woogie fiasco! Seriously, that was absolutely beautiful!
Come to think of it, the hilarious Idea might do great!
"Boogie-woogie fiasco"...brilliant!
With her slim build, I was not expecting the tone of her vocal: lovely: well done!
Loved it, love the girl, voice
Awesome 👏
People just don't realize the absolute beauty that the female voice, it's stunning. Love Mike xxxx
Just beautiful - thank you so much for stopping to sing. Ngl, it brought a tear to my eye, what a fantastic performance from you both.

Or, a boogie woogie pianiest just happened to have the sheet music for Ave Maria handy. Quite a coincidence :D
@@donaldg.freeman2804 he has loads of sheet music with him I believe which would be normal

Story of the world today, so sad. Voice of an angle and ignored by passerbys who cannot hear.

That was wonderful I would have thought more people would have stopped to listen to these two wonderful performances ❤
She has a gorgeous voice! 💖 I'm glad she changed her mind about sharing her talent.
This was beautiful! The girl has an amazing voice, and the accompaniment was lovely!
Yes, I needed this today; a reminder that beauty still exists.
What is wrong with those people walking by?
@@johnramirez5032 I know, I guess they have no appreciation for good music!
@@nancyterrywhittemore2015 its always beautiful to see accomplished musicians play and sing with their harts. I don't think people know hiw much work has gone into learning how to play and sing. It brought tears to my eyes because of how beautiful it was. I dont even know the words. Avay Maria is is Italian? Beautiful done. Made my day .
Accompaniment….all I heard was that amazing voice
The young lady is so talented, peaceful and humble and gave of herself completely to the moment. Her voice is effortless and melodious and the hymn came through as a complete spiritual message. Its Diwali as I hear this and I can feel the blessing. Thank you to both of you.
This lady is very talented , so beautyful it gif me chills and tears in my eyes
I waa brouvht to tears too. What are the odds of this being a chance circumstance? To be a musician of talent is hours and hours of work. Those two are phenomenal together. I learned how to play guitar . I appreciate music and talent when i see it. Those people walking by are clueless. I'm so glad and fortunate to see such beauty that words cannot do this justice. . Thanyou for making my day.

Hi John. As you say this does seem to be an incredible coincidence that an unassuming very talented opera singer happens to walk by. However the area looks to be Covent Garden in London, home of the Royal Opera House only a few hundred yards away,. Also it is bang smack in the middle of the West End where Opera is also performed at the Colosseum nearby.
Bear in mind that not every trained opera singer can get work in opera and end up playing their talents in the West End musicals.
She is extremely talented and it is a shame that nobody had the time to just stop and appreciate her talent.
Thankyou for enriching the soul of humanity. You were both amazing to listen to. Thanks
She has the voice of an angel ❤❤🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼
A well trained human voice on top of her innate voice and skull shape. Very good, very pleasant to hear. No idea what an angel sounds like but unlikely to be defined by western European choral music and the buildings designed to handle it
A taste of heaven.
Just breathtaking. Her voice is powerful yet sweet. Beautiful job on the piano, it was perfection.😍
Kudos to the one man who stopped to appreciate. What's with all the others? If we had someone playing and singing on our street, I would stop and listen for sure.
She had a magistral prestation . This angel have a magnific voice !
Didn't expect that, Guitar on her back threw me in a totally different direction. Beautiful lady, with a beautiful voice. More of her please.
Dr K thought he was harassing a busker and was surprised to find out it was a proper opera singer
She has such a beautiful voice!! I enjoyed listen too her. ❤️
This is the umpteenth time that I have watched and listened to this young lady sing this song. I still got chills and had to wipe a tear from my eye. Such feeling, performed with modesty... Such a flawless voice and moving performance... ❤ I think I have loved music since before I was born (with my mother playing music and singing for me while she was pregnant with me). I cannot remember a time when I was more moved by someone performing a song than this. Too often, musicians perform for the critical listener. This woman, though, looked and sounded like someone who was singing from the heart. What a heart! How I wish I could see and hear more of her singing -- not as a performer, but just expressing herself. That, to me, is what music is all about. Feeling.
Heavenly. 💓.
My eyes fill with tears from the beauty of divine voice! Thank you! ❤️
This is one of history's most beautiful songs. Delivered like this, even better! Bravo!
Agree…👍❤️
A world class singer spontaneously sings a classic on the streets and we all busily rush by in too much haste to stop and listen for a minute, what a pitiful lot we are.
Only one word for this impromptu performance
....MAGICAL.
I actually sit here and cried listening to her gorgeous voice sing this absolutely beautiful song, Ave Maria.
Instant tears!
WOW! Just phenomenal voice. Who wouldn't be completely moved after listening to this magnificent street performance. Thanks Brendan for yet another wonderfully powerful post!! ❤️ 🎼🎵🎶🎹
So glad I stumbled upon this channel. I'm 80 and not much brings me joy anymore, but this, watch it every chance I get ❤❤
As a Catholic who has heard this beautiful song many times, these folks did a proper rendition!!
The voice of an Angel. She touched my soul. Beautiful!
OMG, Brendan Kavanaugh.....what a beautiful surprise to hear the two of you ...her voice is of angels 😘....such pure joy to listen to on a terribly cold winterlike day....thank you so very much for sharing this treat❗🎼🎶🎶🎹😎🍁🍁🍁❤😘🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏
Oh my... ! She's an angel! Thanks for this wonderful performance.
We sang this at our Convent School in the 1960s. This girl's beautiful voice brings it all back to me ....
No matter what I was doing and where I was going, I would have had to have stopped. What is wrong with people???? That was absolutely beautiful and I find it sad that everyone was in such a rush that not one person stopped to listen and absorb a bit of beauty in these trying times. I loved it.
1:31 to 1:54 One man stopped briefly.

The English are anti-Catholic.
