I first saw Alfie in the Les Miz 25th anniversary special on PBS, and I was blown away. I am 80, and I listen to his radio channel at home. Thank you for this interview. What a voice! I am so grateful that I have lived to experience the pleasure of hearing it. ❤🥰❤

This is my first musical Opera that I've ever seen and what made me fall in love with this was listening to this beautiful voice Alfie BOE . I I immediately I'm saying immediately fell in love with this man's voice I said in my living room watching this PBS special of Les Miserables and I was hooked all the way down to bottom of my soul I was hooked I have five of his albums I'm missing too and I still love to listen to him talk and sing

Fabulous. I hadn't ever seen the concert until a month or so ago. I honestly never thought I'd hear a voice that moved me as much as Pavarotti's... but Alfie has possibly the most beautiful and perfect voice I've ever heard. I thoroughly agree with Floyd T. That moment in the rehearsal is mind-blowing! And a genuine guy with a great sense of humor, to boot? I think he's my new hero, too.

I don't know about you, but I think this man's life would make an excellent book and film already, and he's only lived a portion of it so far. Up to now I only knew his incomparable performance in Les Miserables. I now know he is a decent and kind man of faith at the top level of an occupation where belief is often scoffed at or denied. This means so much more to me than his talent. I'm never going to be able to watch that concert again without thinking.. he was back there praying to God and his Dad right then. Very moving interview.

Love the little story, about Alfie waiting for his dad to come home and he would run upto him. I did exactly the same, I was close to my father, and I would watch through the window waiting for dad to appear walking through the wood. I would set off and run down the gunnel and he would give me a "twizzle". He would also give the kids in the street a "twizzle" too. Good Memories. Great Interview. And he sings my favourite song "We have all the time in the World". What a talent, what a man!

That was a treat. Top notch interview. Home movies, photos, clips, and well edited. (I just wish they'd thrown in a couple of clips from this summer's concerts, but....) Thanks again.

48:45 After the O2, interviewers kept asking him what it was like on stage after singing BHH. It wasn't until a year later that someone asked him what he did just before BHH. That was the first time Alfie talked about praying and asking his Dad for help. Now they all ask. And it was then we heard about coming off stage: "Alfie, Alfie, tonight a star was born!" "Who?" No wonder we all fell a little in love.

Thank you so much for posting this. For me, the favorite part, the part you really get to see what Alfie can do, is the brief scene in the rehearsal at about the 45 minute mark. Him holding that high note, from the end of the Soliloquy, just rolling out the sound making it look as easy as humanly possible, hands on hip, scratching his head, almost as if bored. The rest of the cast is blown away. It is breathtaking. Thank you.

Last year, I saw Alfie at a racing event where he sang an operatic version of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry/I Shot the Sheriff", and I can honestly say that my respect for him grew that night; the man can sing the phone book. I'm really jealous of Matt Lucas because he got to listen to him for free. Oh, and I think Alfie looks better clean-shaven!

I never knew anything about his dad, my dad was told he had 7 to 10 days left, he also lasted 10 months. I understand that emotion, that feeling of loss, that confusion. I said to my dad the day he died that he could go now, we would cope together. I love Alfie the more I learn about him. His voice brings such happiness and emotion. Long may it continue. Oh and him and Michael Ball together is just pure joy.
