      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.

    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.

    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!!!

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.

He also has co-written and narrated a childrens book "Jonathan the Porcupine", it's about bullying. All three are here on TH-cam.
