    This was maybe around 20 years ago. His voice did change and he vanished from the industry. Until a few years ago when he ended up on NBC's The Voice. His voice was different, of course, but really amazing. He made it to the finals on there.

    This song was a big hit for Billy back in 2000 when he was about 11. NOW ...Fast Forward to 2022 when Billy joined up with the Acapella group Home Free and released an updated version. You really should check the new one out!. I enjoy watching your reaction videos and I look forward to seeing more!

    This song came out in 2000 he was 11, he is now 34, he had a huge hit with "one voice" and struggled afterwards musically he was on The Voice a few years back and was the runner up. He is still recording today. He never had anything to do with Disney.

    This was released about a year after the Columbine school shooting in 1999. I can't find anything online to support my thought that this was in response to that, but I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that at the time. True or not, the timeline fits, as does the theme of the song. You may hate HF, but Billy Gilman's voice is spectacular and he takes the lead with HF taking total background. You actually only see the tenor from HF and Billy in the video, which is a message of bullying and those who believe the world is better off without them. There's a whole storyline going on with actors that doesn't focus on the singers much at all. It's touching. And my God ... Billy Gilman's voice as an adult ... I rooted hard for him on The Voice. That man can sing.

    I still have my Billy Gilman cd from when I was a preteen. There's a funny song on there about a garden snake falling in love with a garden hose. His other big hit from back then was Oklahoma, about a kid in foster care finding a home.

    He was only 12 when he recorded this that was 23 years ago( before auto tune )And was a top 40 hit .When his voice changed, he lost his record deal he did come back and win second place on the voice about 6 years ago.

    This version was from 2000, recorded when he was 11, and the video was portraying a violent world thru the eyes of a child. The 2022 version dealt more with suicide prevention.

    At 11, the youngest artist to have a Top-40 country hit, then had a double-platinum album. Billy toured with and opened for Billy Ray Cyrus (another Keith favorite :-) and when he appeared on The Voice in 2016 it just so happened Miley was a judge. She remembered him touring with her dad. Blake Shelton also remembered him and said this song came out when Blake was doing his first album, and you always wondered what happened to someone who seemed to have just disappeared. He did a good job on the Voice, and has moved away from country - or he has said country moved away from him due to his high voice and coming out as gay. A label VP said "Well, we don’t like our men sounding like Carrie Underwood." And so it was over.

    You should do a reaction to Home Free's cover ft. Billy Gilman. They did the cover just a few years ago, you'd enjoy it. It's nice seeing the kid all grown up. He definitely didn't lose his musical ability, but it's more mature now. ^.^ It would be cool to see you guy's do a reaction to it.

    If you'd like to hear Billy's "new" voice there are several good videos out there. "Soldier" is a pop power ballad; his collaboration with Home Free for the 20th anniversary of "One Voice" is a capella, and his newest is bluegrass "Roller Coaster". They are all really good songs and his voice is stronger and richer than it was as a child.

    How interesting…I heard this song just the other day and thought of you guys. And here it is! A great “young” Billy Gilman song is “Oklahoma”. (Not the broadway Oklahoma😆). It’s a song that hits you right in the feels.
    I hear what you mean about the Disney vibe. I wonder if it’s because of his age, singing age appropriate songs. But seriously…Oklahoma. 😉

    Weird facts since I know him to a degree nothing crazy because i dated his personal trainer when I was an older teen haha. He's from Rhode Island, and when he hit puberty it did take him some time to adjust but not just vocals, but because he was gay and the country community didnt except that. So it was difficult for him to find his voice as an adult. He's such a sweet person in general though. He did a charity where he took a child cancer patients poem book and turned those poems into an entire album and donated all proceeds, but it never became big. He ended up being a life guard for awhile, but he did come back to music, not as country though when he got older on the voice.

I know you didn't like the one video you watched but honestly I think you should not cut them out without giving them another chance. If you're willing to give them another chance I would suggest checking out Hopelessly Hoping. Please give them a chance without beatboxing.

  • @katmit69

    Billy and Blake Shelton hit the scene roughly the same time and both had hit records at the same time, Blake judged him on the Voice a few years ago. Billy has a Pitch Perfect voice, perfect technique and is an awesome vocalist. He just really didn't want to do country music....and btw the colab he did with Home Free for this song a year or so ago was really good, because he did the main vocals. He did have to adjust when he went through puberty....Billy is a highTenor, just shy of Counter-Tenor, he covers Freddie Mercury and Celine Dione perfectly with no strain, his voice soars to the rafters. But yeah never had any association with Disney.

      Yeah, I'm guessing that's not going to happen. To say they're not fans of Home Free is an understatement. Home Free's fan base also helped turn them off to the group because they didn't like their critique. Billy has an adult solo version that might appeal to them.

      @@bfsgman Everyone has a right to their opinion. This is true about Home Frees base fans. The reason the fan base reacted so negative is because of the negative jabs that their music wasn't music because they didn't have instruments, even before they heard the song.

    So this was an early 2000s release so he is in his mid 30s now. He was kind of a one hit wonder. He did compete on The Voice and won but still doesn't have much of a career outside of private events and small time gigs that I am aware of. He just never could overcome the popularity of that song.

    One thing I love about music is that everyone has a slightly different taste! It would be so boring if everyone liked exactly the same thing. I 100% respect your not liking Home Free, but I will say it makes me sad that you made that decision from 1 song. I love acapella music and enjoy Home Free. The song you listened to is by far my least favorite. It's just strange with all their sound effects and really doesn't show off their voices. I wish you would have listened to their cover of "Go Rest High On That Mountain". They may still not be your glass of Bourbon, but you would DEFINITELY like it better than Man of Constant Sorrows. Their harmony is fantastic.

      Absolutely. I don't know why everyone points to that song to introduce them to Home Free. They have so many that are WAY better. Helplessly Hoping is amazing. I know Keith loves guitarwork, but their harmonies are so incredible, they don't need instruments. Their version of God Bless the USA with Lee Greenwood and the US Air Force Band Chorus sends chills every time. Their video of this song with Billy Gilman really shows a troubled teen who changes and the throwing of the gun is a more important part of the story. Their version of Don't Laugh at Me, with Mark Wills is another remake of an oldie that is still relevant today. And I like that they let the original singer be the lead and are just the support behind them.
