Jonathan Antoine v's Susan Boyle
TV show Britains Got Talent does it again. Preceding the unprecedented success of Susan Boyle, The Big Man of Talent, Simon Cowell does it once more. Coincidence or is this pre manged publicity designed to bring the show big audiences.
There is no questioning Jonathan Antoine is blessed with a big powerful voice like Pavarotti himself and clearly has struggled with his large size and low confidence throughout his years. He has described in interviews his painful experiences with bullies and social exclusion has left him low on self confidence. His friend Charlotte Jaconelli is undoubtedly his rock and without Charlotte he may have never made the big step onto the Britains got talent and win the hearts of millions.
Wait, havent we been here before. I remember a BGT stage in 2009. After judging numerous routines offering nothing more than a giggle, suddenly on walks a Scottish lady wearing casual clothes and rugged unbrushed hair, she opens here mouth and sings like a super star. Within days the BGT stage has its biggest star internationally. An internet phenomenon.
Now lets forward to 2012 show, a young simple man walks on stage dressed in dreary old stereotypical dark big men clothing, having a bad hair day and sings like a star.
What I dont sympathise is Charlotte; Jonathans best friend, is dressedsuitably for a stage audition. Smartly outfitted, clean looking and I dont want to keep going on about the hair, but brushed shiny hair. Jonathan conversely is stereotyped by Simon as been a typical over weight big man. Why o why did he not at least take off that hoody.
This is my point the BGT stage has found a voice of an angel and in typical Britains got talent form has created a sob story to blow out of all realism. But this time they did not stop there after all thats been done loads of times before so like Susan Boyle they dress him down and give him a stereo type that regular viewers watching can relate to and expect another act to chuckle at. Instead the result is so far from what is expected the result is so much greater. A stop and watch moment.
Only time will tell what develops of his talent. I would like to bet now the next show of the competition Jonathanis more smartly dressed in a shirt and trousers, hair brushed and looking sharp! From the interviews I have seen just now on Daybreak and more this transition has begun, wearing a smarter top and jeans for the Daybreak interview.
Jonathan has a large voice and an incredibly solid attitude expressing he is his own man, saying "I am the way I am and I always will be - if other people don't like me then that's their choice, but I quite like me." c/o Daybreak. This is my point, I just hope BGT does not fashion a large sob story around him and blow his life into all sorts of tear jerking ways just to boost ratings. In this circumstance Jonathan Antoine does not need nothing more than his angel voice and the soft open heart he is revealing it will just detract away from his passion for music.
Come on Jonathan we need another big star like Pavarotti. http://www.xlme.co.uk
