Wow what a fabulous forum! Well done to all who have designed it. I'm Debby from Cornwall UK . I have been a Fantoine and following the awesome talent that is Jonathan Antoine since BGT in March 2012.
Hi Debby!! The minute I heard Jonathan sing on BGT I knew he had a very special talent. Wow did he blow me away. To this day he still does. i have followed jonathan ever since. I can't believe how his voice just gets more and more astonishing - what a crazingly talented guy he is! One very happy fantoine from Yorkshire!!
First of all, well done to all involved with the developing of this forum, it's absolutely fabulous!
Hi I'm Sue, I live in Devon, England, my loves are photography, my little garden and of course this very special and truly phenomenal tenor. I've been following Jonathan's incredible journey since discovering him on BGT in March 2012. During his interview, this very shy young man hesitantly opened up his heart to us all.
I, like many, sat on the edge of my seat as he nervously stood on that stage, and just willing him to be good ... then he sang ... oh my wow! The deed was done, the tears flowed and he stole our hearts forever.
My favourite of so many wonderful memories I have accumulated these past 5 years, has to be a one in a million chance meeting on a London tube train shortly after BGT in July 2012. It was Year 6's residential trip, we were on our way back from the theatre. We all boarded a train, I got in a carriage with my group of children, turned and there he was - totally starstruck, but thankfully rescued by the children, who announced to all "IT'S THE AWESOME ONE" enough said.
Love the forum! I am Rebecca (Becky) Coward Jester from North Carolina, USA. Have been a huge fan of Jonathan's since stumbling on the video of BGT on YouTube a few years ago. Please return to the states!
I am a newbie to all things Jonathan, as I just stumbled across his BGT performance a couple of days ago and was completely taken in. I have ordered a couple of albums already. I was thrilled to find someone with such an incredible gift.
I'm from Vienna and I know Jonathan only a few months. My father was an opera singer and this music never interested me. Jonathan has changed that with his incredible voice and his bis heart. Now I have started playing the piano again (I play very badly) and I will be watching La boheme and Rigoletto this summer.
Hello fellow Fantoines -both old friends and those I have yet to meet .
Like many others I fell under Jonathan's spell the night I saw him on BGT -his humility and shyness drew me in and his story touched me in a way I didn't know was possible. As soon as he sang my heart was lost and won all at the same time.
I am afraid I searched him out on social media the next day and he hasn't gotten rid of me since. I was privileged to meet him in the October of that year -2012-when he was performing for Samuel L Jackson in London .When he arrived I was so excited and overcome I ran up to him and almost sent poor Tracy flying in the process - I didn't know who she was at that time but she soon introduced herself and forgave me .
I have followed him and attended as many concerts as possible and each one he manages to blow me away a little bit more with his performances .
As I once said to him
"I was there at the beginning and I will be there until my end "
Good morning to all Fantoines out there Worldwide. Im having a relatively quiet day for me, got up at 8 haircut at 9, British Lions Test Match from New Zealand. The Lions won. Now watching Cricket before the Tennis starts. Its a good job I have a treadmill here at home or I wouldn't be moving much from my chair today.
Not a normal for me sitting around. I have so many commitments with helping others, but today
is a day off.
I am eagerly waiting for July 14th and 15th so I can see you live again, a privilege Ive experienced many, many times , but im not getting any younger so I will cherish every moment I can share with you and your wonderful Fantoines.
Ive been trying to post tree pictures of my cats two of mine and one of Joe's but my android tablet where I store all my photos wont behave today. I have non on my laptop. That is my next job to find a way to migrate them to this new lap top <3
oops read that as HOW you are not who you are. But I will leave this here for now as family, Jonathan Antoine and sport (excluding football) is who I am xx Jane
I was raised with an appreciation of Opera Music from my Dad who loved Mario Lanza and later Pavarotti. No one else caught my ear or made me stop and look until that wonderful night he was on BGT. I had to phone my dad and get him to listen also. The tears started and joy of finding Jonathan has grown and grown, the tears of pure joy when I listen I don't think will ever go away, something once again to share with my Dad. Maybe one day I will be able to overcome my Agoraphobia enough to attend a concert, but, it would be highly unlikely. I listen to Jonathan every day I never tire of his voice. Wish him the inner peace and happiness he gives to all who listen and love him.
Welcome Judie. I’m so glad you can listen to Jonathan and maybe one day you may make a concert. Until then you can hopefully watch his concert on TV or DVD?
