Billy's "Oklahoma" Is Excellent !!

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Oklahoma" is one of the best songs I've heard in recent years! Between the skillfully crafted lyrics that build to a powerful climax, and the amazing young singer whose emotionally expressive voice carries us there, this song is very moving. Just 11 years old when he recorded this, Billy Gilman sings with more emotion (and skill) than most adult singers. His voice is rich, clear and powerful - and tender at times. Personally, "Oklahoma" is my favorite song from his "One Voice" album. I still get goose bumps when Billy sings "...all at once the tears came rolling in..."The "flip side" is a delightful Christmas song called "Warm and Fuzzy" from Billy's "Classic Christmas" album. This is a catchy tune that benefits a lot from Billy's youthful sound.Billy Gilman has an astonishing gift ... he's a genuine prodigy. If you liked "One Voice" (and maybe even if you didn't), I'll bet you'll like this excellent single."

A HEARTWARMING WORK OF ART

"I recently saw the video and heard this wonderful song. It is a very moving account of how a young boy and his father meet each other for the very first time. Billy Gilman bravely sings of how he felt during this encounter and his rich voice, strong lyrics and clear vision have truly made this a remarkable work. I hope Mr. Gilman receives an award for this work. It is one of the best songs I have heard in recent times and the video is of extraordinary caliber. If I could rate this even more stars, I would gladly do so. In the meantime, we'll be praying for Billy Gilman to do something like this again. This is truly an outstanding work of art that will resonate in one's heart long after enjoying it."

"i feel that this is by far the best song i have ever heard.the way he sings this song is so powerful. i feel that he is a prodigy and that he is the first child star to ever touch your heart in a way you never thought possible. every time i hear this song i cry during the same line "and all at once the tears came rollin in". the point being made in the song is so real to many people because many people also do not meet there father until later on in life. this song to me will always be number one."
