I love it when there is triumph over adversity. I wonder what the bullies are doing now? Jonathan looks great in the main pic of him in the magazine.

If you see Leon Jackson in a magazine please can you let us in the Leon thread know?! It would be much appreciated if you could!

I agree Marta. Jonathan had the last laugh on the bullies.

If I see anything about Leon in any magazines I will post up in the Leon thread.

It is case of whom laughs last laugh the longest
I too have had last laugh over certain things
Jonathan got wonderful gift which hopefully he will show to rest of the world

Ah - thanks for that! - and I'll keep an eye out for more Jonathan articles and let you know.

Bless you Marta - thats great.

Lots of Jonathan in all the tv guides this week - pictures and articles about him being on Celebrity Come Dine With Me - next Thursday 10th April....

His album did very well, didn't it get to No 3 in the main chart?

Hi Marta. He went in at No 9 on the pop chart - and No 1 on the Classical Chart - and remained No 1 on the classical chart for 4 weeks. After 6 weeks he is still in the Top 5 of the Classical Chart.

Dont forget This Morning tomorrow folks (4th April) Jonathan and Hayley Westenra are performing the duet from Romeo and Juliet.

Lovely artical in TV quick,wonder if theywill mention about almost setting the kitchen on fire

Brilliant performance...so beautiful -Jonathan and Hayley did great .

Confirmation that Jonathan and Hayley will be performing at this years Classical Brit awards -fantastic news.

That was a beautiful performance. They compliment each other so well & proves that operatic duets don't need to be about outdoing each other!! They both have such purity in their voices.

I'm going to Classical Brits so it is going to be superb to hear this performed live. Andrea Bocelli/Sarah Brightman are duetting so in top class company.

Isn't it just wonderful that an X-Factor contestant has made it onto the stage at Classical Brits. Hardly what you'd expect given the profile of the show & its target audience.

It is indeed wonderful - and I'm over the moon about it - what I have always wanted for Jonathan - his voice and talent were crying out to go down the classical route.

It's going to be a very special treat for people who will be there at the Classical Brits to hear Jonathan and Hayley perform the duet.

They gave such a fabulous performance this morning. Their voices compliment each other so beautifully and they put so much emotion and feeling into the song.

Hopefully I will get a youtube link soon to put up in the thread here.

I am not a fan of JA at all but I have to say I thought he was very good on This Morning today.

Great to hear. It is going to take time for people to realise that Jonathan has moved on from G4 but it is happening. He is a 'real' talent & still so young in terms of classical genre. Hayley voice is just beautiful.

Jonathan and Hayley's duet on This Morning...

Enjoy....

Thank you for the link
Wonderful

I so agree with you MB - missed the This Morning debut - was at the Ready Steady Cook recording where Jonathan and Hayley reprised their duet but this time a capella which was just stunning actually a bit unbelievable in how brilliant it was hope the audience do realise that they just came together, Hayley did the pitch note and just sang!

To be a tad pedantic I think they complement each other extremely well

But I am so looking forward to the Classical Brits - my tickets arrived on Thursday ...

My ticket came also

Im so pleased the Classical Brits will be shown on tv - at least those of us who cant go will get to see Jonathan and Hayley perform the duet!

Shame they dont broadcast the Launch show on Tuesday on tv too! I would love to hear Jonathan sing that night! I hope it's Prayer in the Night. Wonder if we will get to hear any of it - it would be great if they could get his performance up on the Official site.

Yes - brilliant it is going to be on tv. On tickets says Thursday 15th May - ITV1. Got to get my cocktail dress out as well according to the dress code. Should be a superb occasion. Royal Albert Hall just has an atmosphere which is unique. Jonathan has appeared at RAH so many times before but this has got to be the pinnacle. The launch event I'm sure will get press coverage so hopefully we will find out what he sang. Appearing at both events - really putting him centre stage in the classical arena.

I so agree May Blossom - such an honour for him to perform at both the Launch and the actual classical brits show.

I'm thinking of him today - hope it all goes well - and we get to hear what he sang!

What a great performance from Hayley & Jonathan on This Morning on Friday Brought tears to my eyes it was so superb.

Really looking forward to the Classical Brits now and if you don't 'do dresses/skirts' like myself you can wear trousers and a 'posh' top I was told , so long as it isn't jeans, t-shirt and trainers !!!!

Come Dine With Me will be brilliant on Thursday. If the trailer is anything to go by, we will see Jonathan nearly burn down the kitchen - bless him !! Always good for a laugh is Jonathan, but it's part of why we love him so much
I hope they manage to show an ad for his album during it as they have added comments about the album from various media to the ad

As for Ready Steady Cook, I would love to see it when broadcast, but alas I am on my way back from the Classical Brits , so will hope that someone has a link for it when I get home as I'm sure, from reading the reviews, that it will be a good laugh as well !!

Im still trying to think on what to wear

Some lovely photos of Jonathan singing at the Launch of the Classical Brits at the Mayfair Hotel...... 8th April.

Thanks merity

Watched Celebrity Come Dine With Me ,last night ,I laughed all through it ,what with Jonathan burning the saucepan,setting off the smoke alarm,forgetting the knives and forks, but his meal looked so delicious ,he is a very good cook, I liked all four of the celebs,they seemed to be enjoying themselves,and had plenty of laughs,Tamaras pudding was a hoot it was like something a ten year old would serve up,and Lyndsey giving them a veggie meal, Harveys face was a picture, I loved it when Jonathan turned up at Harveys dressed as a Rapper, Harveys face was a picture, at the end of the day it was for Charity ,and Jonathan and Harvey winning Joint first meant that two charitys benifited, it was also nice to see Jonathans girlfriend Debbie for a few moments
