A friend just sent me this and it made my hair stand on end.

The Carlisle Cathedral lay-clerks are obviously very proud of him, given the comments on the list. One of them said "he's a good kid and a great voice."

He is amazing, isn't he? We just have to hope his voice doesn't break until after the final ...

Wow!
But at 13, how much longer will it last?

Good grief, for all he looks like a sterotypical council estate 'hoodie', he's got a voice that made the hairs on the back stand on end.

Good on him, I hope he goes far.

Not knowing what to expect, it was like a lightning. It is a gift but...it is a boy, you know.

I didn't expect that voice to come out of that boy, that's for sure. He was good- especially considering just how nervous he was. I've not heard that done better by many- and they were all female.

You aren't allowed to vote for him!

You have to vote for my belly dancing troupe or I WILL SULK.
I rather resent having to watch ITV pap every week until they do appear.

ps. He does have a lovely voice though.

That was what got me. I saw him in those clothes and expected some song of no great interest. Then this incredible voice comes from nowhere!

Brought a lump to my throat.
What a voice! Thanks for sharing.

Cor, and if he's lucky he will break to a good register as well. Sounds like he's had enough proper training.

Thanks so much for posting that -- incredible voice but, more importantly, he has a very sophisticated sense of working the song. That's a brilliant young man in more ways than one.

I'd like to slap the crap out of the bullies for him (the fact that he's a dead ringer for my nephew has only a little to do with it).

Fantastic. Thanks for posting.

Yep, Carlisle Cathedral.
