Will Young - Evergreen ft. BBC Concert Orchestra (Radio 2 Piano Room) 

20 years later and he still sounds identical! Such a hugely underrated artist!

Will Young will always be our only number one pop idol. Was in 2002 still is in 2022.

20 years to the day he sung this for the first time and I think it sounds better than ever. Simple, subtle and stunningly beautiful.

He has still got it, a truly underrated artist

The best singer ever to win any singing competition he still gives me goosebumps Will Young is the very finest

I simply love this song, his voice, the arrangement it's my perfect sunset song. Beautiful ❤️

I remember him on pop idol , no other talent show has been as good as that year

How beautiful was that. And for the record he looks lovely with a beard 😊

Absolutely magical! What a wonderful voice Will has and the orchestra is fantastic. Thank you to Radio 2 for brightening up my day with this beautiful Piano Room performance.

I've never really appreciated how good his voice is until this performance.

Someone who took a chance, did well and made the most of it.

Thank you for the music Will Young!

You are the original and the best Will Young!!!

Wow, this has such a huge nostalgic presence in my mind, born in '94.. I remember watching this with my mum in the living room.. And at the time feeling so much love.. Since then I grew up and made tonnes of mistakes.. But this will always take me back to a happy place with my mum, its amazing what music can do

There's something about this song that just makes me feel EVERYTHING. I will never forget sitting and watching Pop Idol and being obsessed with Will's voice. I heard the interview he did with Kate Thornton and I can't fathom how hard it's been for him but even through it all, he's still got it. Such a worthy winner. The OG pop idol. Well done Will. Keep singing.

Lovely voice 👍👍👍👍👍

20 years????Time flies..

Will Young is so incredibly talented and still has a huge magical appeal. Looking fwd to seeing him live again later this year in Edinburgh. Such a great live performance & feel the benefit for it. ❤️

class always shines through

Love this man's voice always will do.hes a legend

It’s so brilliant hearing Will knocking it out of the park again singing the beautiful Evergreen twenty years to the day since he won Pop Idol. Gorgeous man and so talented, love him!

Just returned from seeing Will at City Hall Newcastle - he was amazing and just want to keep on listening. I’m loving this version of Evergreen

Just reading his book , about all his struggles he has had , he is so talented . Love you WILL ❤

I just absolutely love everything about this. It made me proper cry. Just beautiful vocals, emotion and a delivery that only comes with age xx

Wow .. can’t believe it’s been 20 yrs!! I was beside myself the night Will won !! Such an incredible talent, I have been so lucky to have seen him live and it’s always so magical 💕

That was absolutely delightful. You still have a great voice Will and what a "joy", to perform with a live orchestra and backing singers. Also, it was lovely to see you thank them at the end. 😃

This artist is creative and causes chills in his performance. We want to hear a lot from him. @ Will Young

He’s a fantastic artist and a lovely man I have been lucky enough to go to loads of his concerts and spoke to him on numerous occasions so down to earth keep going Will your fantastic 💖

ahh so much memories..such a lovely voice! he was robbed on the masked singer ergh he left so early!!

Dear Will Young, I’ve loved you and your voice since ‘discovering’ you on Pop Idol all those years ago. You are blessed with an absolutely unique and amazing voice that sends chills down one’s spine. And so handsome! I wish you ever more success and please don’t stop singing! I’d love to be able to visit one of your next concerts. I’m currently feeling very sad and lonely. Have a Happy Christmas and an exciting new year 2023. God bless you and your orchestra. Love + hugs, Cris

This song is a classic. Proper throwback to the early 2000s! That pop idol final was great, Will, Gareth and Darius (RIP) but all great singers

First ever single I bought, first song I fell in love with.

Just beautiful, fell in love with him so many years ago when he first sang in front of the judges!! Now with a touch of grey he and his voice are just more beautiful!

Great version of a great song. Good to see Will Young sounding better than ever.

love this song and Will. His performance in Cabaret was outstanding!

20 years and still one of the absolute best!!

Amazing Will. Still fantastic after 20 years. Even better!

Love this,still remember Will and Gareth in Pop Idol time flies I guess……….

forgot just how good Will Young is, great set

This is one of the few noughties that will live on like 80s songs . Massively underrated song

Memories of pop idol back in 2002 😍😁😊🙂😃😜😀☺️🔙

An always contemporary artist, his music is full of sensitivity, love, passion, listening to you is always exciting, sometimes even moving. Thanks Will.

Evergreen was the first song I’ve heard you sing and it it was emotional on many levels for me. You truly bring life to this most beautiful song. Evergreen will forever be Evergreen for me! Thank you Will for your wonderful gift of voice!!

Absolutely gorgeous Mr Young. Loved this 🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely beautiful here's to another 20 years Will xxx

When music captures you and hits you emotionally this is what happens when Will sings…that voice has only got better over time and here’s to the next 20! Loving this rendition with the orchestra brings the song to life and is much more Will

Still beautifully sung. I can’t understand why will didn’t become much bigger in the world, his voice is just amazing and underrated. X

Sings from his soul...and touches your soul ...❤

What an absolute STAR. One of the few who can perform live & still make it as magical as it always was 👏❤😍🥰

Wow i never knew this type of music could have been so great😍

Oh the nostalgia!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Will, this is your best yet, definitely maturing nicely.

We need more of Will on tv and radio. True talent.

I love this song it holds such special memories as our son was born 20 years ago when this was number 1 and I just love it and remember playing it all the time over and over a very worthy winner, Victoria xx

Absolutely true soulful voice. He's truly magnificent live, one of the best performers I've seen x

Such a wonderful performance Will singing live with an orchestra. Remember voting for him many times in the Pop Idol final. Looking forward to seeing Will in Torquay in the autumn.

Thank you Sir Young.

Guilty pleasure. I was too cool to like this song when it was in the charts. Can’t deny it’s a belter and Will can sing. 👏

fantastic voice, so talented

Will is mega consistent. He has grown musically. High quality. Quite a humble guy

Awesome! It's great to see old faces pop up and still able to sing amazingly well.

I heard this on the radio in the week and once again I can't stop singing it and thank god for this song I realy can't handle all the modern rubbish so thank you. 👋👋👋👋👋👋

Music can still surprise me...... magic

Love your voice Will from the very first time I heard it 😃❤️👏

I remember when Will was head to head with Gareth Gates to win on (what was then called) ‘Pop idol’. Wow.. Now I feel really old. 😐 😂 ❤️ Still sounds as good as it did 20 years ago. Beautiful. #Nostalgia ☺️ ❤️

Genuinely nice guy, love how open he's been about his "activities" on Internet "dating 😉" etc. Makes him hotter. Even just talking I could listen to him all day. Intelligent, humble, cute and talented don't usually all come together! Need a cold shower 😂❤
