The inverse relationship between this man's ego and his ability is beautiful.
Posted by: Barth74 12 June 07:41
This is really beautiful, very moving. Even despite the fact that this man is allready a professional opera-singer. Check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Potts
Posted by: sharose 12 June 09:06
Ok the guy has tried elsewhere for fame but let's face it with a voice this good wouldn't you try to get noticed by any legal means.. I would. Paul has my best wishes for his dream to go far it is atleast evoking emotion without harm.
Posted by: sharose 12 June 09:11
If car phone warehouse don't use Paul in one of their Ad series they are throwing away a very good chance to get some major focus and boost Paul at the same time.. but i'm presuming they have to be smarter then me after all their PR dept get paid to work that much out.
Posted by: Dwayne (Ajax) 12 June 14:27
I have watched this now 8x. Got up walked around my house and hear I am again watching him sing. He is truely blessed and some of the most humble people in the world, inspire me the most. Dwayne H.
Posted by: John W 12 June 14:33
Fantastic voice! Someone PLEASE post his next round video here!! I have watched it a dozen times, and it still gives me goose-bumps.
Posted by: Poohead 12 June 14:59
Awesome stuff.
Posted by: doktora 12 June 18:43
Have none of you been to the opera lately? This is how professional opera singers sound. They give you goosebumps. This guy has taken clases with Pavarotti! If you like this, I suggest you go to the opera.
Posted by: Barth74 13 June 05:51
Doktora, you seem to forget the underdog-side of this story which makes it much more special than just an opera-singer doing his routine.
Posted by: Kerry Anne Hartnett 13 June 11:32
This guy's voice really touched my soul, and brought tears to my eyes, even though I didn't understand a word coming out of his mouth! WOW!

Goodbye carphone warehouse; Hell, fame!!!!!
Posted by: Lisa 13 June 14:42
I got my heart broken today. His beautiful performance is soothing my aching heart. (Tears are rolling down my cheeks) Thanks, Paul, I need it. =)
Posted by: bettom1 13 June 19:52
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICIENT! It's a true pleasure to see honest and true talent rather than the usual rock, shimmying, etc. stuff! Thank you, young man.
Posted by: DeeDee 13 June 20:38
It was amazing to see something different. great job. you won my vote for sure.
Posted by: Jane Culjis 14 June 13:08
Absolutely & positively magnificent and his humble appearance added to his allure! Yes, Simon smiled...he too is of genius quality. He discovers unpolished gems! Praise to both men!
Posted by: Johnny B. 14 June 15:38
This man's humility, the normally cynical panel's reaction, and the audience's spontaneous standing, clapping, screaming, and crying makes me weep each times I play this clip, which is about a dozen times now. Eager to see and hear more of this dear man. Thank you so so much for this clip. Paul, God bless you, my young friend.
Posted by: Diane 14 June 16:57
As many people here have said, something in the man's voice touches your soul... the tears streamed down my face, and I didn't even realize it until I saw the female judge squint to stop hers... Absolutely magnificent is right. This is why music is the bridge to everything.
Posted by: Jerry 14 June 19:54
I broke into crying almost from the beginning---I was so moved and touched unlike anything for a long time----want to hear more of him
Posted by: Maria 15 June 02:21
WOW! That was absolutely awesome! That was very moving, and surprising, and unexpected. Hope he continues and succeed in it!!!
Posted by: Isabel 15 June 09:29
Oh my GOD!!!! if the Met doesn't snap him up, something is wrong with the world. I have been to the opera. Generally, it doesn't do much for me, except for hearing the great voices -- and Paul is one. Paul WHAT. I'd love to know his last name. I need to hear more of his heavenly voice. Incredible.
Posted by: Allen McGill 15 June 10:27
Have sent this to friends throughout US and Mexico - all responses of INCREDIBLE!
Posted by: ken kessler 15 June 11:01
i always liked classical. he reminds me of "Mario Lanza"
Posted by: Shawn 15 June 11:45
Yea, I've been to the opera and seen Pavarotti live. They get too... polished... and lose some of that emotion -- of which Paul (Potts, for Isabel) brings so much of.
Posted by: Jeanne Kellam 15 June 12:01
Absolutly amazing..He will go far!!
Posted by: Bitten 15 June 13:14
That incredible voice brought tears to my eyes and shivers down my spine. Fantastic!!!!
Posted by: Turandot 15 June 19:24
He is singing "Nessun Dorma" from my favorite opera, Turandot. In fact, I love that opera so much, I use it as one of my internet nicks!
Posted by: Gloria Rawls 15 June 20:37
This man has a magnificent voice! It brought tears of joy!
Posted by: jimbo 15 June 20:46
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! The "American" version of this show would be 100% better if it offered character and talent like this. Instead, we get freaks and social drama. Best of luck, Paul!
Posted by: c-sun 15 June 21:28
Does anyone know how someone in the US can watch the rest of the series and see what Paul does(bare with me I don't watch much tv)
Posted by: Sally Van Wyk 17 June 05:57
This performance was absolutely amazing.
Posted by: James 17 June 13:57
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! What a wonderful voice. And such humility. Paul, best wishes for your success as an opera singer. I'll be expecting to hear more from you. WHAT A GEM!!!

Posted by: Kristy J. Henriksen 18 June 11:07
I was not expecting to hear what I heard. What an amazing voice and he sang with such a reverence. We need to know his name so we can buy his CD when it becomes available.
Posted by: Marie Jorland 18 June 12:46
All I can say is "WOW!. I was so moved by his voice. I too would buy his CD and a ticket to hear him perform.
Posted by: Joy S Thiry 18 June 13:47
Loved it so much I do not want to ever take it out my PC
Posted by: Linda Edwards 18 June 15:56
No one could have the instantaneous impact on the listening audience had they not been anointed by our Heavenly Father with a singing gift....this is indeed what Paul has been endowed with and it is my thought that the angels in Heaven rejoice as Paul lifts his voice for others to hear!!
Posted by: NORMAN BAGER 18 June 16:41
he brought tears to my eyes !!!!!
Posted by: Jerry 18 June 18:01
He is British. What do you expect?
Posted by: Shiloh 18 June 18:40
Why hasn't someone picked up on this guy earlier? With a little training he could stand along side Domingo and the others.

Posted by: Dianne 18 June 22:43
Absolutely breathtaking!!!!
Posted by: Magdhah 19 June 09:34
I looked at the Wikipedia article; prior to this appearance he performed in unpaid performances, which means he was an amateur, not a professional, singer. Very moving
Posted by: Johnny B. 19 June 10:08
CatNanny, thank you for the link to Paul's Fan Club. This young man is a gift to the nations. I, too, want o buy his CDs, if he has any. May God bless his career with that continued humility.
Posted by: Linda 19 June 10:14
Paul, you have a wonderful gift from God! Your voice will be used by Him to touch many hearts and souls! God bless you!

Everyone has said it ALL; A winning humble personality totally belying a unique and awesome gift of voice; the impact was absolutely electrifying
Posted by: benjamin/Lucy Corin 19 June 12:49
Everyone has said it ALL. Introducing himself with a gentle effacing humility, totally belying a unique and awesome gift of voice; it was an electrifying experience. I would hope he is truly a unpolished diamond and look forward to hearing him at the opera. BRAVO ! BRAVO!
Posted by: sewingpatti 19 June 16:23
He was such a humble person alone with such a diamond for a voice Wow could only express his voice.

Absolutely one of the 5 top tenor voices on earth at this moment. There IS a GOD!

The three tenors are now 4. His voice is awsome!!!
Posted by: Robert M Rowan 19 June 20:58
Close your eyes and hear the new Pavaroti. It is not surprising to me that a voice like this is from Wales.
Posted by: patricia lynn jones 19 June 21:46
BRITISH: AN AUDIENCE, MUSIC, AND TALENT. AMERICA: NO AUDIENCE, NO MUSIC, AND NOT MUCH TALENT. PAVAROTTI'S REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN FOUND. HURRAH! HURRAH!
Posted by: Allene Baichtal 19 June 22:05
It was absolutely an awesome experience to hear this young man sing. God has gifted him with a wonderful, blessed talent. I hope he will go far.

I completely burst of tears. Where can we hear more of his voice?
Posted by: Tina Stout 20 June 15:48
This man is blessed with a beautiful voice may he spread it about the world.
Posted by: Juliana Leo 20 June 18:45
Paul - you have proven that Jehovah God does not create beauty by Mankind's standards...I'm sure most people did not expect such a tremendous & moving voice - because of first impressions. I would guess that the blinders they may have "had" on, are now gone. Thank you for sharing this gift. Thank you for opening the way for others who have hidden behind the expectations of others. Thank you for being brave enough to prove to the beautiful people - just what real beauty is all about.
Posted by: Traci 21 June 10:56
FANTASTIC. I got goose bumps.

Posted by: Peter & Mary Pamkowski 22 June 02:07
We are avid fans of American Idol. We heard about Paul Potts and located his performances on Britain has Talent on this website. Wow - does he have talent! My wife and I both cried listening to him. The crew on Good Morning America cried listening to his performance. We would love to join the performance when he sings for the Queen. If you can provide us tickets & air fare, we would be happy to represent the support by the USA!!Good luck Paul - we wish you the best and look forward to purchasing your first album. Peter & Mary
Posted by: John Holden 22 June 17:50
The world exists as a platform for people with extraordinary talents. We live our lives at times complacent and unaware of those around us. Sometimes we say, “ there are others as good” or “we’ve seen this before”, but have you ever stopped to think that maybe, just maybe, God needs to present us with a new angle on an old idea. Sort of reality check, that there is more to this world than what we perceive it to be. There are times when we must say, thank you God for giving us a moment that takes us out of ourselves and evokes emotions that have been suppressed by our environment. At this time, I say thank you God for the gift you have delivered through Paul Potts and others like him.
Posted by: Doris Barker 22 June 22:50
This man is so special. Having studied voice at Juilliard many years ago and having heard many tenors at the Met, this talent should be heard again and again. I hope he comes to the U.S.A. for a tour as he would be a thrill to see and hear. It would be such an incredible change from the screaming and yelling we hear today - and they call it singing!!! May Paul Potts have a fantastic future that he can share with all of us.
Posted by: Ann Bara 23 June 09:00
Fantastic.I'm seechless--and believe me THAT is a feat in itself.I listened to this man and heard Pavarotti. I can't say enough,I don't have the words.

Does he have a CD singing the same? I loved listening to him!
Posted by: Caren 25 June 07:39
I am overwhelmed with emotion after listening to this gentleman (Paul, I believe is his name). Hands down...he should win the competition and should be signed immediately for a contract of some sort. This way, his God-given talents will be shared with people around the world. His voice moved me profoundly.
Posted by: Carole 25 June 08:58
He had me with the first note!!! What an unbelieveable talent. Let's pray it doesn't get stifled working with cell phones. He is truly blessed with a God given talent. Rare, but not unappreciated. He was, and is blessed. Looking forward to hearing more of Paul.
Posted by: Claire Sheehan 25 June 12:29
What a glorious voice. Paul's ***** performance of my favorite aria was a wonderful way to begin the day. I hope this opens doors for Paul. We need to hear more from him. YES, YES. YES.

WOW ! Although I am involved in music productionn hearing vocalists every day I was crying from the very first moment I heard this guy. It is not only his beautiful incredible voice he has but also that he has not the kind of physical appearance that record companies are looking for and that you are never expecting to hear such a voice on a show like that. He carries all our dreams of recognition of our own hedden talents. Go for it Paul , I love you ! Regards, Dimitrios
Posted by: Mark Stahelski 3 January 22:48
I have heard this played multiple times, but each time I hear it again I love it just as much as the first time I heard it, and am as amazed as the first time I heard it. It just goes to show you that no dream is impossible.
