We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com/

Jonathon Young is really talented. His cover of "The Bells of Notre Dame" and "In the dark of the night" (Anastasia) are top notch and give me chills every time.
-
Whilst Jonathan is of course not as scary when he isn't playing a role, there's still a certain trend noticable. He and Caleb have sung their way through a lot of what Disney et al have delivered in terms of music and typically, Jonathan is the one who indulges in the villain songs whereas Caleb excells in the more heroic themes.
-
I love the addition of "Please! Give me sanctuary!" because it's what Quasimodo's mother is screaming at the church doors right before Frollo killed her. Really nice touch adding it to Frollo's song.
-
My favorite part of his rendition is how he reaches the peak of his distortion at "let her taste the fires of hell" - then pulls back and is basically clean on "or else let her be mine or mine alone". It really shows that, on some level, he really believes his own hypocritical worldview, and genuinely thinks of his claim to Esmerelda as something beautiful and born of love, not even recognizing anything wrong with that.
-
Take a look at his 'Prince of Egypt' covers. Utterly incredible
-
His version of "Bells of Notre Dame" is also so haunting and amazing, it would be great if you'd react to it as well!!
-
The reason I love the "give me sanctuary scream" hits so hard for me is because thats what Kwasimodos mother is asking for when he kills her, so not only is it super dramatic but it also drives home both his desperation but also his hypocrisy, and I love it.
-
In the original: the music dips off after “mine and mine alone” as a guard comes in to inform Frollo that Esmeralda escaped. Then Frollo resolves to burn Paris to find her. In this one: he starts pleading to Maria, quoting the Lord’s Prayer, and screaming for help as the music crescendos to a stop. And then his inner demon takes control over him as he resolves to burn Paris to find her. It completely changes the impact of the scene, and I LOVE IT.
-
I've been following Jonathan for years and I believe he does everything himself unless otherwise mentioned. :)
-
If you want to hear both Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles together I highly recommend "The Bells of Notre Dame" or "The Other Side"
-
The "Caleb" you're referring to is Caleb Hyles who is indeed a singer as you mention. They pair up on their version of "The Bells of Notre Dame" which I'd love to hear your take on, as well as MANY other collabs between the pair of them.
-
Jonathan is amazing. He does pretty much every instrument himself and a lot of editing as well. He also has his own original music that's totally worth checking out. But as for the covers, he also did Bells of Notre Dame and so many other awesome Disney covers. His Prince of Egypt covers are amazing too.
-
Yes. I love his work, originals and covers. "Be Prepared" cover by him is another one where he knocks the expressive vocals out of the park
-
He also did Bells of Notre Dame as a Collab with Caleb hyles. That would be another great one to check out!
-
"Hellfire" is my go-to audition number, and I cannot imagine going up to an F on "she will burn" after you just got done doing it on a D. Jonathan's range is worthy of envy.
-
Rock/heavy metal and opera/operatic music themes have such a wonderfully strange and beautiful marriage
-
The sheer emotion and character that Jonathan put into these performances is what puts his covers over the top for me. If you want some other recommendations Bells of Notre Dame and Be Prepared are exceptional and well worth a watch.
-
I'd love to see your reaction to his Prince of Egypt collabs with Caleb Hyles. Playing With the Big Boys is my personal favorite.
-
I like how the ad lib at the end, "Give me sanctuary." is a callback to one of the earlier songs, The Belles of Notre Dame, in which Quasimodo's mother is crying out for sanctuary at the doors to Notre Dame Cathedral when she was being pursued by Frollo and is then subsequently killed on the steps
