Absolutely nailed it. He knew it, the audience knew it, the orchestra knew it and the rest of the cast knew it; if you look as he finishes, they're all applauding too. If this doesn't move you, you're dead.

For me Colm Wilkinson will always be Jean Valjean. I was so very fortunate to see him when I went to see Le Miserable. His voice is absolutely stunning, sublime and when he sang Bring Him Home the theatre was silent, it was just breath-taking and literally brought you to tears. You believed every word Colm sang.
I've seen others play Jean Valjean but no matter how good they are, none of them will ever match Colm Wilkinson. He was and always will be Jean Valjean.

When I discovered Les Mis at age 13 I didn't appreciate this song enough... 25 years later I start bawling immediately at those beginning notes. It's such a powerful beautiful tender ballad full of selfless love and hope. Nobody sings it like Colm, it was made for him <3

I saw this show on Broadway the last night that he played the part of Valjean. Unbelievable experience. The man was crying singing this song. The applause for him wouldn't stop. One of the best nights I ever had on broadway. This was back in 1988.

I can imagine it! I saw him a year later in the Toronto production of Phantom of the Opera, (another part that was originally written with his incredible voice in mind...), and he blew my mind. I went back to see it agian as many times as could; I can absolutely understand how he could inspire a talent like Ramin Karimloo, (who is a couple of months younger than I am, and was doubtless at some of those same Toronto shows) to say, "I'm going to do this."

I saw Colm in concert in Saint Patricks Cathedral, a beautiful intimate venue, under three hundred people, in Dublin just before Christmas 2019. We were right up at the front of the small stage. It was a terrific concert but everyone was waiting for "The song" He finished the concert without singing Bring him home and everyone was sad, we of course shouted for an encore and he eventually came out wearing Valjean's jacket, we knew then that he would sing it and the applause from the audience was huge before he even started. He told us that as he and his voice, weren't getting any younger, this may be the last time he performs this song on stage. When he started singing you could hear a pin drop. He was note and pitch perfect and the applause was still ringing through the rafters of the cathedral as we left to go home! I really hope we hear him sing this song live again!

I’ve listened to so many great singers perform this song — I’ve listed to many times Colm himself has performed it, too, over many years — but this particular one, this particular one on this special night, it is just beginning-to-end EPIC. The highs, the lows, the pleading, the anger and the anguish and the most selfless, perfect prayer. 🙏🏻

I must congratulate Colm Wilkinson on his heart-shaking performance, but I must also congratulate the audience for remaining quiet while he performs, holding their applause to the end.

There are so many videos on youtube with talented singers being interrupted every 20 seconds by cheers loud enough to drown them out. If you appreciate a singer, and want them to know that you think they're excellent, you give them their turn and wait until they're done singing to applaud them.

YOU DO NOT INTERRUPT HIM/HER.

@1969EType

6y↑55

Well said...art in all its forms must be allowed to breathe. Colm is always at his very best on this song because his audiences consistently give him the stage and the theatre. You hear NOTHING on this song but every nuance of Colm's voice and emotions and the music. The silences, the rests in the music and voice, are part of the art, too...don't miss them.

The next time any of you see, hear, feel, taste or touch art, especially fresh, undiscovered art...let it breathe. You might be very surprised at what you experience.

That final note he holds into the very end is what makes this song so divine. It reduces this wretched and scarred man into a gentle creature seeking God's mercy with such humility because he knows of no other recourse. The tone of his voice "bring him home" tells me everything about the condition of this man as he lays his cares upon God. Such a man... its everything about humanity, that moves me about this song and character

I love Colm. He's absolutely phenomenal and I don't think we'll ever have another Valjean like him. That said, can we please talk about how fucking good the orchestra is here? 2:10 to 2:40 is just actual masterwork, and the notes at "Let him be, let him live" get just as big an emotional response out of me as Colm does.

I saw Colm in 1988 on Broadway. His voice is reverberating & quivering, just when most important. His voice is resonating and strong, too. He is totally transforming when he is in a roll, & we feel every note he sings. Therefore, his acting & singing are one, for him as well. He is the top of them all, in my opinion. I am lucky to have lived that with him, the cast, and the other listeners!

I saw him live, sing this in Les mis years ago. Made the hairs stand up on my neck. Now it brings tears to my eyes.
He is the best and I have seen a few in the part!

I was fortunate enough to see Colm Wilkinson perform this when Les Miserables first came to the West End in London in the 1980's. It still brings a tear to my eye and I can not listen to him sign this enough. His voice is magical - he is the voice of Jean Valjean and no-one else has come near.

I've heard this song better with other voices...Alfie Boe for instance! Colm's voice is way too breathy for this song and the power in his voice isn't natural like Alfie

O M G. The world stops just to hear C W. Sing "Bring him home". Absolutely NO ONE sings it as good as he does. I play this over & over hundreds of time & never tire of it. The way he says"if I die let me die" with such power in physical & vocal, just rips & owns my heart & soul. I have his video, I recommend all to buy & listen to a master singer & performer. 👌🏽👍🏼👌🏽👍🏼🎶 perfection !!💜💜💜💜

I don't care who you put in the part of Valjean, there can be only one........ this is one of the greatest performances of any genre of music, the prescence, the clarity, the emotion, it always brings a lump to my throat....... and i'm a tattooed, long haired, rocker........ simply wow, just fkn wow!!

There are few--if any--castings as perfect as Colm Wilkinson in the role of Jean Valjean. He shined among a cast of near perfection.

For such a small country, Ireland has a huge number of amazing artists in the music industry. Colm Wilkinson is a giant amongst all these artists & every time I hear him, it's like I'm hearing him for the first time.

@alschindler7440

I sing this song at Karaoke now and then, along with I Dreamed A Dream. There’s no possible way that I can find the range, and stentorian prowess, that Colm possesses with this solemn piece. Simply phenomenal!!!!!

I absolutely love Alfie Boe as Valjean. He is my favorite, but even I will admit that no one will ever manage to beat this performance of Bring Him Home. Some will come close, but none will ever reach it.

I know Alfie Boe’s voice is probably more technically able but I feel Colm Wilkinson’s version has heart, soul, passion and emotion in spades. His version moves me to tears EVERY listen. Literally every listen. His version has something so pure, emotive and utterly brilliant. It’s so honest, and I simply love it!

There are many great voices that have sung this song but Colm just owns it. His expression, his feeling, his power, his countenance grab at your heart & soul. He is there on the battlefield with this young boy ... and he brings us there like no there can. He is so powerful, every time. Thank you Colm Wilkinson !

When this man sings this song, it is truly a prayer. I lost my younger brother 25 years ago in a construction accident. This has been my song to him ever since. It's always on my playlist. I don't want a day to go by that I don't think of him. Sometimes it's with a smile, sometimes it's with a heaviness in my heart, but mostly it's with the joy that he was once in our lives. Today would have been his 61st birthday. I love you buddy, this is for you.
