If this was your 12 year old son....

...how proud would you be?

Ronan Parke on Britains Got Talent

What an amazing voice for a 12 year old.

Would be very proud for sure blue. I love watching those talent shows and we miss Simon so much in the states now that he is gone from American Idol.

Wow blue that is incredible... I would just bust with pride... hope he can maintain that range when his voice changes...

What a voice, it goes straight to the heart! His voice might improve after puberty or it might be totally worthless but I really do hope that it will remain this beautiful.

What an amazing voice especially coming from 12 year old...wow!!!
I am not his parent but I feel so proud of him so spontaneously...
Wish him the best luck!

P.S: blue...this is a secret but I have been working on video taping monkey singing Britney Spears song, Till the world ends ... I can not wait to show you when it's finally done.

Awww Nan - I can't wait to see your video.  How cute that will be.  Hurry up girl.

Yes - this little fella Ronan does really tug at the old heart strings.  I hope he keeps his beautiful voice.  The final is on Saturday and the winner will perform in front of the royal family at the Royal Variety Performance.

You picked some awesome videos there Gabby.  I loved Neal Boyd and one of my favourite songs is Time to Say Goodbye, fabulously sung by Jackie Evancho.  

Fantastic.  :-*

EDIT

Johnny you posted as I was responding (and listening to the videos) and I have to say - what a shocker and how incredible.  What a voice - just amazing and beautiful.

... and what's even more shocking is that he didn't win the contest!

What a shame - he is incredible.

P.S. everyone - please excuse all my spelling and stuff - I've really badly cut my left index finger and touch typing is so difficult with the huge plaster thingy on.  Thanks. xx

Whoa, what a shocker! Incredible! Thank you Johnny.

Edit: I have just listened to the 4 that gabby shared with us... quadrupe Whoa! Thank you gabby!

Wow! 

I've only watched 20 seconds so far but had to stop to post... Wow... Oh Wow. 
Loved how the judges eyes widened and he looked to the other judge.

I don't like Opera but some really touch me!

I personally don't like young kids singing adult songs. One of my very strong pet peeves.

I seem to like the audition tapes better.  No glitz and glamour.
His was incredible.  Got a tear when he cried a little more at each 'yes'.  Precious.
