This is such a touching video - and it is a huge lesson to me.

We can't let anything hold us back from our dream.

Enjoy - but you might need a Kleenex mid-way through.

LJ, Absolute CHILLS!! I didn't need a kleenex mid-way through, but about 30 seconds after they began singing. I always wonder about the follow up. Do you know what happened? I also wondered about that with that other video you had us watch about the young man from Iraq [I think] that had the challenges, that sang so beautifully. Any idea what happened to these folks? Thank you so much for sharing these. It is so inspiring.

You know what atticus? I don't know about any of the singers - other than Susan Boyle. She got into a singing career right off the bat. Do you remember her? She really surprised them with her voice.

But the rest of these singers - I dont know. I wish I did.

Wow. I have never seen this clip. Absolutely stunning. Both have great voices, but, he really is blessed!

Oh how I always cry when I see things like this.

Just wonderful. I wish them both great success. The young man is going to go far. What a great voice.

Simon Cowell ought to know by now not to judge a book by its cover. He did the same thing with Susan Boyle. Made some sarcastic comment when they stepped on stage. And people in the audience do the same, snicker and whisper and make faces. So ignorant. You never go by how someone looks like and pre judge when it comes to a singing act. It fails Everytime.

The follow up is Charlotte and Jonathon didn't win the competition but Simon Cowell snapped them up and gave them a £1 million. Recording contract and they put out their debut cd in The fall of 2012.

The CD is titled

"Together". And the two of them are on the front cover. Jonathon dressed in a tuxedo and Charlotte in a pretty dress.

Amazon has it.

It's a great story.

I read the Amazon reviews of their cd and it seems that people are very happy with the music and have rated the songs, music very high.

Thank you so much for the update on how these two are doing naturegirl. It's good to know that they are succeeding with their singing.

NG, thanks for the update! I will have to put that in my cart so I don't forget about it.
