Jonathan sang Here's to the Heroes at the 100th Anniversary of the T.A.'s yesterday in front of Prince Charles and Camilla.

Extremely touching for the occasion I thought and Jonathan sang beautifully.

Two youtube links - the first just for the song - the second for the lead up to the song - which puts it in context:

Beautiful tribute to the brave TA -perfect song and beautifully performed.Such an honour that Jonathan was asked to perform .

it is very moving when he sung HTTH

I agree - it was very moving - made me quite choked up - especially thinking of my late father who was in the RAF.

The words of HTTH are so poignant.

Celebrity Driving Test Challenge

celeb d t “Mirror, signal, manoeuvre” – for many, those words once held the key to freedom, independence and respect from their peers. But how would you fare if you had to don your ‘L’ plates and re-take your driving test?

Supported by BSM and Westfield Sportcars, the first-ever Celebrity Driving Challenge at the British International Motor Show will see two teams of stars put through their motoring skills paces. From experienced drivers to relative ‘newbies’, top celebs will compete against each other to raise funds for war hero charity, Help for Heroes.

The teams will navigate their way around a specially-designed 'It's a knock-out'-style obstacle course. Expect fun and drama both behind the wheel and on the track as our learners attempt driving test stalwarts such as the dreaded reverse park and reversing around a corner.

The Celebrity Driving Test Challenge will take place on July 23rd which is VIP Preview Day. Tickets for this day at The Show are £25.

I'm so delighted with the tracklisting -how brilliant another duet with Hayley ...they sound so fab together.

a tracklisting of massive songs that will show how far he has came and really let his lovely voice shine-brilliant.

It will be lovely if Hayley will be on LCS singing with Jonathan
Have her own solo spot another recording we know Jonathan will be on LCS

Sounds like there are some fun times ahead for young Jonathan - ClassicFM have just announced all sorts of goodies for the autumn

And he's looking good!!!!!!

Very good singer but why has he mimed every time he has "sung" on TV since going solo?

I dont know why you think that Give It Up,
Jonathan always enjoys singing live ,he always said that it was the best part of the job,singing live to a live audience.
I have never noticed him miming,

Jonathan never ever mimes! Having been stood next to and near him when he has been singing he never has any reason to...nor use a microphone for that matter. His voice is amazing and surely the amount of effort that is displayed on his face shows that he is hitting the high notes for real

There's no way Jonathan mimes! Thats so funny!

The one thing Jonathan and G4 before him always prided themselves on - they always sing live. Why ever would they need to mime with voices like theirs!

Thanks to Joanne on the OS - youtube of Jonathan singing Barcelona on Last Choir Standing last Sunday - fantastic performance:


http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YvKtkzjDi3M

Adding my voice to Jonathan always sings live
I was at last choir standing and his voice just vibrates
He is (in my view) the best ever tenor and extremly nice guy
Always has time for his fans
Im so looking forward to see him in The Mikado and Night At the Opera
Before this I have Lyrics at Palladium to see him sing
Countdown time for the new album
