Never in a million years would I believe an opera singer could nail this song.
why is it so darn good though? also hello from the future lol
I could after watching him on AGT.
Jonathan Antoine, in my humble opinion, one of the best singer in the world.
3 TIGER , JONATHAN , PAUL POTTS , AND FERNANDO VARELA
Quite possibly the best singer ever. I've listened to recordings of the best for the past 50 years. Very possible that Antoine is the very best ever. He's certainly the very best rags to riches story and the most humble, most caring, most human performer I've ever seen.
I agree 100% one of the best singers in the world
Agree.. one of my personal favorites...
@@le87 Better than Pavarotti? Save me the laugh
Incredible how far this man has come. An absolute outstanding singer.
What always broke my heart is that this guy was obviously madly in love with the girl he starred with on America's got Talent but she was clearly not interested in him at all and just wanted to ride in on his coat tails for the fame.
John Denver would be ecstatic on hearing this young man and his arrangement of Country Road .
He takes me to another place where I find a peace I have never felt before.
I was just going to comment on this when I read yours. He is one of the very few artists that I don't just listen to their music I also feel the music
John Denver would be on his knees bowing, and saying your the man, your the man…
His voice is great, but using John's song for political angle?? John would 100% be against this video, literally the opposite of what he stood for. All these comments praising this video is absolutely shameful, and John would say the same exact thing. Time to wake up
@Mav I disagree. John would love it.
@@mav2553 What political angle is there? Johh Denver was progressive, and this video might include progressive themes, but in a very diluted. You are reaching to find political meaning in this.
Jonathan could sing my grocery list and still move me to tears...
What a beautiful thought
O voce minunată, îmi place mult.
Bet he couldn't sing his own since it would be too long XD
@@neurflerat2693 uncalled for !!
His voice is amazing. It's like if you could hear Angel's sing that is what they would sound like.
And John Denver sheds a tear from heaven...
He would be so proud!
You said it brother. Oh my lord I also literally teared up.
Yes indeed.
There are no tears in heaven. Just pure joy!
@@ethereal1257 The best kind of tears are tears of pure joy.
I lived in West Virginia and absolutely hated it. Jonathan Antoine singing this almost makes me want to move back
I was born and still live in West Virginia. This song is sung all over the world. This is absolutely beautiful and makes me cry. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm plastering this on my Facebook timeline.
WONDERFUL! GOD BLESS AMERICA
I'm Swedish, never been to WV, this song is to me one of the most beautiful ones in the world(in languages I can understand of course).
I am from and still in WV as well! It is the one of the best ever recorded!!
I am amazed by him. This is a song that will be played a lot when it comes to spotify! So good to post the tictoc at the start and then he comes in and kills it. Outstanding voice! I love his vibrato too, creates real power to the song. Fabulous!
Another intresting fact is that I participated during World Scout Jamboree 2019 in West Virginia. This song was played even more than the song written for the Jamboree.
By far the most outstanding version of this song I have ever heard, John Denver had his own unique folkstyle delivery and was a master, But Jonathon Antonne 's classical version is like an Eagle majestically soaring over the mountains and the oceans shores. What a beautiful person and voice with a kind heart!!!
Well said!!!! Your description is as beautiful as his version of this song.
That's just what I was thinking. It's a pleasure to listen to this.
John would’ve agreed I’m sure!
An excellent, elegant and apt description, Mr. Dryden, very well spoken.
I agree 100%, so beautiful
The perfect voice, what a gifted man….I love he is now getting world wide attention.
Coming from a proud WV native, this version will be played at my funeral. Absolutely beautiful.
His voice is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard. The strength of the notes, the power of him singing them, is incredible
Watch his and Charlotte's first audition on Americas got talent when Johnathon was only 17.
Many would say the greatest operatic voice ever.
Jonathan, you've become one of my favorites, your voice never fails to thrill me.
I've been around the traps for many years now I am 73 next birthday, glad I am to have felt and enjoyed the thrill of you singing.
Happy birthday! What a beautiful way to celebrate than enjoying his music
@@rosamariagarcia5194 l
Me too. 73 love his singing.
GODBLESS US ALL!
Bom se
What a fantastic version. Only just came across it. Brilliant
The beginning of the COVID pandemic was the most wholesome I have seen the human race in 19 years. People did what they could to protect each other, and people of prominence, public figures banded together to get us through those tough times. I miss the feeling of humanity we all shared then.
How is it that a lad from London can make an old American like me cry over a song about going home to West Virginia, when I've never even been there? That's really going the distance!
You are not alone. The tears are streaming here as well.
I guess they are also streaming strong up here in France, and they will everywhere where one listens with the heart, because this wonderful guy sings from there: from his big great heart, and that is what one receives!!! Bravo dear Jonathan, please keep it up!
Crying like a baby!
: It must be raining inside my house for I’m to old to be crying like a baby. 😭. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I agree totally
I’m a 33 year old man and just broke my heart watching this. Well done amazing singer
I am 70 years old and did exactly the same. That only happened to me once before with Pavarotti.
Watch Susan Boyles 1st audition on Americas got talent it will leave you speechless too.
Can’t stop smiling at this glorious voice. It’s hard to believe this confident, extremely talented man is the same timid boy we first met on Britain’s Got Talent in 2012. The way he holds the stage with both his commanding presence and his wonderful voice is just breathtaking.
I so agree with your comment. Back then when he sang on BGT - the judges were very cynical and almost mocked him - he has shown them how great he is.
I hope that Johnathan still remembers how much support that Charlotte gave him in the early years, although they have now gone their own separate ways
@@MrMilky1988 I hope she remembers that without his Stunning voice she would not have a West End career and That He Took Her Along When Simon Wanted Him To Go Solo!
Yes. He was at his lowest point. I can't imagine him being that low. If Charlotte hadn't convinced him to get on that stage. The rest is history. They got him help..look at that shinning face.
Love this young man with the gift of a beautiful voice. He is also so sweet and humble. Hope his bullies are ashamed. Never heard this sung better!
This mans voice is the sound of hope
Wow Jonathan that was absolutely awesome. That's my favourite song. Well done !!! You got it spot on. You nailed it 100%. Just perfect !! ❤❤❤
So why is it that people somehow dont enjoy the supreme talent of Jonathan yet dont have the guts to say what was wrong with all these flawless performances??????
It makes me wonder, is he or she tone deaf , jealous , or just spiteful.
Ignore them ! 🦜🌺
Jonathan, God has chosen to speak to us through your voice. There is nothing more beautiful.
Amen. 🙏🏻✝️
Well said. Well said.
Jonathan, love him, is the *only* singer I have ever heard in all my 79yrs, who can bring me to tears with that astounding voice of his, and I bless the day he had the guts to walk out on that stage in front of Simon Cowell and blew us all away.
Hello how are you doing
where are you from?
What a wonderful comment - thank you.
I was a Denver fan, and this song always made me feel homesick for Nova Scotia/Cape Breton. We all have a place that we keep in our heart, no matter how far we go or for how long, it's the home of our hearts.
Please take a moment and think of the communities in Nova Scotia, who are having to go through so much horror on top of the current troubles.
Sandra Nelson 💐 Sorry for the sorrow you are facing. I wake up worrying about the people who can’t work and their babies and children. Take care prays and blessings from California. 🍀
Beautiful , between Jonathan and the tragedy in Nova Scotia there are tears , and I would like to comment on it but,,,,,,,, there are no words,,,,,,, just tears,,,,,, Canadians are strong , we will recover and move forward.
All I know is that this version made me cry. That's heartfelt music. You're a gift Jonathan.
🙋🏻♀️Wooo this version made me cry, too! When I'm listening to this song I feel like I'm living in West Virginia, in the time of the old West, handling those horse-drawn carts! Yes it’s amazing!🤔
I always seem to be chopping onions when I play this.
*Are you out of your friggin mind! I didn't think anyone could improve on one of my all-time favorites from John Denver, Antoine, you crushed it! You took it up another notch, You blew my mind away, you have blown my hair back, WOW!!!* *I can safely say, that John Denver would have been proud of this version.*
He would..
I lived most of my life in West Virginia, this got me teary eyed
I live in Serbia, but my eyes are also weeping. Respect.
I live korea
@@sasavucenic386 Serbia it's a beautiful country. I visited only Belgrade others cities but all are wonderful...!!!
Me imagino. La conozco por vídeos y fotografías. 😍
Majestic! I am a fellow West by God Virginian!
I grew up on country music. Jonathan you nailed this song!
As a native born Mountaineer, Country Roads has been a favorite since it was introduced. This is, by far, the best version. I invite Jonathan Antoine to explore the Mountain State for himself. He will soon discover the majesty of a mountain home, applies to "home", wherever that may be. That, of course, is the reason an anthem about a small, oft overlooked state is so universally accepted. It's all about home. Jonathan is an accomplished artist. I'm sure he would enjoy seeing West Virginia first hand.
The things that amaze me are that he seems to sing effortlessly (never forced) whoever arranges the songs he sings seems to have a terrific understanding of how powerful and pure his voice projects and wonderfully pure his tone and delivery are and how his sincerity and interpretation of the lyrics take a song to a level that is so rarely heard and the fact that he sings in any genre is such a treat.
And likely able to produce any style fabulously.
Beautifully put.
Such a joy. I have been a devoted fan since the first time I heard ad and watched him sing.
Jonathan is the Pavarotti of today !! His voice will go down in history as one of the single greatest of our time.
I agree 👍
A talented young man. Wish him only the best for a brilliant future.
One of the best voices to come out of Britain’s Got Talent. Would love to see him live.
Diane Jonathan .If you live in America Jonathan has Numerous Concerts booked which have been put on hold till 2021. because of the Pandemic.If you go to his FB page all His Concert dates etc. Are all there.zalso if you Can purchase his recent Album "Going the Distance" it includes A CD,plus one of his U.S Concerts.It absolutely Amazing.You"ll love it.I have watched it many times and it's so Beautiful

@@ivyyeo624 je ne dit rien
Hes absolutely brilliant watching live I was there watching this concert 😁 it was a pleasure to watch him and be there.
diane allen ..Go to a concert. There is nothing like it!
I can't wait to see him in concert!
There is something so compelling about his voice,and also him as a person. He inspires love and compassion. What a guy!
A once in a generation talent. Congratulations Jonathan. What a beautiful soul you are.
Wow, Jonathan. I wasn't expecting you to sing this classic American folk song but you nailed it.
Knocked this one clear out of the park.
Not an old folk song. John Denver 1971. Just sayin'
Thank you Margaret. My thoughts as well. "Just sayin'" Love that line x
Good music done well has no boundaries....
From a west virginian ill tell ya, you dam right he did..
As a West Virginian, I can only say that was one of the most beautiful renditions I have ever heard.
I feel I have to visit that amazing place someday when all of this ends ♡♡♡ love from Cali, Colombia, South America :)
@@angeramirez25 Beautiful state to visit in the USA, TAKE it from someone who lives just up the road in Maryland.
Wow. That is amazing. I’m a West Virginia fan. Thank. What a gift God has given you🙏👏❤️
It's been a long time since the singer is is giving me Goosebumps this guy did
I have followed Jonathan ever since his (and Charlotte's) audition on BGT, and never in a million years did I think he would ever sing a classic American country song like this one. However, he not only sang it, he delivered an amazing performance with a fantastic arrangement in the process. Everyone has always said that "Jonathan has an opera voice," and that's true, but he has demonstrated that he can sing almost any song and make it great with that unbelievable voice of his. I'm so glad that he is finally getting the exposure and recognition he deserves, and I am definitely going to buy his new album.
Jonathan was once asked what he sings around the house, he answered "Kiss from a Rose" and "Country Roads". this was a few years ago. Have you heard him sing "Compass" filmed at these same sold out Toronto concerts, it's here on TH-cam. We have his new CD "Going the Distance" it's Great. Wait till you here track 12. "Nessun Dorma" it's Stunning!!!
carl jacobson : I lost my breath, and my heart went wild it was astonishing,astounding, stunning hearing ......Jonathan Antoine sing the aria ‘ Nessun Dorma ‘.
In sweat pants lol I remember that audition. This is my favorite
Oh yes!
I also can't imagine Jonathan or people in Italy singing that song. I like the song however, the song died when John Denver was killed and I haven't heard it sung by anyone in 25yrs.
You have taken a Country song and turned it into an anthem. Perhaps my favorite rendition of this song, it brings tears to my eyes as your powerful voice delivers its wonderful lyric. You are the best, thank you!
An anthem.... perfect word for this. ❤️
Anthem, is an excellent word, Rex. The way he sings this, it seems, we should be standing in reverence.
His voice just keeps getting better and better
Loved this arrangement of Country Roads beautifully done and what and great voice to sing it as well ! Awesome 👍👍
The day I don’t cry when I hear Jonathan sing is the day when they can close my casket. He touches my soul.
Just when you think he can't get any better....he does....powerful, moving, magnificent !! Thank you !
Wait till you hear him sing Nessun Dorma, it's stunning.
Jonathan Antoine is our gift from God ❤
I didn't think it possible to love that song more than I already did, but of course, Jonathon found a way. 😍 I bawled! LOVE LOVE LOVE from a Midwest girl! Thank you for this beautiful song!!!!
agree this is stunning I love love love it!
Sweet boy, how I love & admire you! Thanks so much for your beautiful voice! John Denver was a different kind of vocalist, but I can guarantee you that he was proud of that performance.
💐🌸🌷🌼🌹
Love this young man with a wonderful voice. RIP John Denver.
I'm from a little town in N.C. When I hear this song, I think of my parents and the trips we took all the time.
This man is from England and captures the beauty of America so sweetly in this song!
I love love love this remarkable young man. The purity of his voice is unmatched.
February 2023-love you Jonathan Antoine❤️
Big love from Australia ❤️ 🇦🇺

I was raised with the voice of caruso played constantly. That's how old I am. Johnathan is right up there with all the greats.
This sent shivers down my spine. A song for the current times we are in. I can hear John Denver saying "Go for it". Absolutely made my day hearing this!
This isnt normally my taste in music but wow this guy has something beautiful that keeps me coming back ,outstanding!
I wish you would come get me. A girl can hope. I hear your voice in the morning and it’s a bright new day! God bless you Jonathan!
Brilliant, just brilliant. To combine country and opera, with a great twist of Corona... Jonathan you’re my first choice to listen to always. I would so much like to meet you in person. You have exactly the same vibes, as those who run in my family... we would have lots of fun and joy for sure. Love you, always have and always will. ☺️💪👍🤗😘💐
You are absolutely so worthy to sing this. Only you and John Denver
I would include Home Free's rendition on this list.
Absolutely
New Music Video, posted today. Jonathan singing "lo Si/Seen" It's BEAUTIFUL!
I think John Denver must enjoy this rendering of his famous song. WOW that was wonderful thank you so much
Born and raised in West Virginia this guy sings like he has seen the State . Wild Wonderful West Virginia🙏🙏🙏🙏
Every now and then someone wakes up your soul and inspires you to enjoy every drop of this life we are given. Covid go away we have to much to live for
Jonathan turns every song in to something magical. He is a rare national treasure and I adore him! 💖
He is a treasure for the world, not just Britain 😉
i know his voice cince a very short while noe, MAN..... what a voice
We the people of West Virginia love it...!!!
As a musician, not a singer, I appreciate singers with great voices....He has one of the greatest voices ever...
I am a West Virginia gal. This song means so much to us. Thank you Jonathan for singing about us. Remember your first performance. Knew you were great.
Amazon sent a notice that my CD has shipped. I've listened to two of the recordings from the tracks on this site and each time I am a "mess" at the end of the song. Jonathan voice has, since I discovered him on BGT, made me cry. I won't be able to drive with this CD in the player. Now if you will excuse me I must go to the bathroom to fix my face. Love you Johnny
Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
My copy should come in today as I was informed by Amazon. I will be lucky to have it delivered today , the road crew has made a mess of my street. Bummer!!!!!!
@@mzpatintexas8329 I'm to have mine this Saturday. We'll see. I have a feeling, our stay put order will be extended until June. I need to hear Johnny.
Bought the Digital copy....
*LOVE IT*
Hi Mz. Pat 👋
Needleworknut : 😭😭😭😭😭 They put my copy back in “ Back Order”the same day I was to have had it delivered to me. 💔
SSxSuper manxSS : Hellllloooooo ❣️
Jonathan you are not little pavarotti you are much more big pavarotti, your heard and soul is super big , thanks and thanks and thanks.
Beautifull ! He can sing any song and make it shine as long as it has actuall quality like this classic masterpiece has.
I've watched Jonathan on youtube since Britain's Got Talent . He has a beautiful voice and an amazing gift. However, I really didn't think a young brit opera singer could do justice to an American country classic. I was so very wrong. Right in the feels. Well done Jonathan.
John Denver gave this one a standing ovation. Guaranteed. Wonderful job.
Delightful heartwarming class and elegance 😊❤️
BRAVO 😮BRAVISSIMO 😮
WE’VE GOT A WINNER HERE!!!!!
Words touch the heart, but music touches the soul. Our nation needs you right now, Jonathan. Your beautiful voice transcends us to another place. Words fail me, but your exceptional voice touches my soul.
You have come so far from that cripplingly shy contestant who needed his friend to give him confidence. It is an immeasurable pleasure to watch and listen to you. Congratulations.
My new best mate. My god this young have a voice to die for.
Never have I heard this song sang like this. Awesom! This man has such a gift and is one hell of a talent.
Ah Maestro such a moving but joyful video - As For THE VOICE - Well For Me THE ONLY VOICE and It Will Echo down the Generations I have No Doubt!! A Voice For All Emotions - Be It Happiness -Love- Loneliness or Sadness -The Most Healing Voice I Have Ever Heard! Bless!
Hello my name is Josh Mark how are you doing, i bring you good news
You were blessed with a fantastic voice and a big heart. I loved this version of an American classic.
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains and absolutely love to listen to Jonathan’s version while driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s heaven on earth!
This is absolutely beautiful .. we did a harbour cruise around the Famous Sydney Australia Harbour and this song came on with the DJ and everyone sang it , young and old ... was the loudest song sang that night on the cruise ... 👌👌👏👏💯
Uplifting, inspiring, inclusive, stunning! Exactly what the World needs now! You will change the world! XO
I have tears, Thank you Jonathan. I dedicate this song to my big sister, my dad, to the 4 Australian Victorian Police officers killed while on duty serving us Aussies last night, run down by a truck on the Eastern highway, to their families, know you are loved and they will NEVER be forgotten. "In the arm's of the Angel's" 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🚓🚔🌈
What a voice! Dang! PLEASE get/stay healthy to continue to share that voice!
You nailed on behalf of myself and 1.8 million West Virginians let say bravo. We are loving people who do life slower in the mountains of Appalachia. I invite the world to come to West Virginia and learn to love your neighbor again. Have a pepperoni roll. God I love being a West Virginian. You did it right Jonathan. As someone who traveled in my teen and early adulation years playing hockey. I was always to come home to West Virginia. Great job
Beautiful cover of this iconic song! Love from Florida.
My dad was born and raised in Salem, WV. My grandparents married and lived there and died there. I have family and relatives still living there and in West Union and Buchannon. Growing up, Daddy always took us there first. Growing up, it became home to me and in the early '90's... it became my home for 9 months. You can set my feet in the city, but the heart will always take you to where you truly belong. The mountains are my home... West Virginia is my home. Thank you, Jonathan.
Mine as well, those mountains are in my blood. I am proud to be Appalachian.
What a amazing person. Thanx god for this talent
Voice from the Heaven !Simple amazing!!!
im a west virginian and nobody has sung this song like this man - absolutely magnificant
Fantastic, hope to have the chance to hear you in concert one day in future x
Pavarotti would greet you with open arms as he did with the great artists that sang with him.
The whole world needed that thank you very much😢😢😢😢🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😴🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍 thank you thank you thank you Jonathan
Jonathen, so beautifully sung.. thank you.❤
He always brings me to tears. His voice can bring this world together.
Thank you sir. Our world needs this and your voice does it so beautiful. Thank you. I pray you and everyone stays healthy and happy during these hard times.
Wow....I’m truly speechless. Jonathan - you have made this classic into your own. I don’t believe I will ever hear a better version of “Country Road”.
Tears streaming down my face. What I would give to have my own son, Jonathan, feel this way about home.
God Bless you young man and thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the world!
Have you heard him sing "Compass" or "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" both songs filmed at the same 2 sold out concerts in Toronto. During Compass, his family pictures are shown behind him. He also has co-written and narrated a childrens book "Jonathan the Porcupine", it's about bullying. All three are here on TH-cam. Printed version of childrens book available from Amazon or Jonathans website. He also sings a stunning "Nessun Dorma" on his new CD, "Going the Distance".
Since 2 weeks I'm realy loved in Jonathan's interpretation of this song.
That's a singer if ever you've heard one ..., fabulous.🇬🇧🇬🇧
Who threw a bucket of water in my face..... Jonathan....... Just Amazing..... Amen
