He never quite matches this performance ever again. Understandable, of course. 1:02 (the lip), 1:42 (head tilt up)& 1:57 (sigh; tear on cheek) a highlight.
I had the opportunity to meet Paul Potts with a group of friends. He said his cell phone was ringing while he was up there on stage in his pocket; after being warned 50 times to turn it off! I'm happy it didn't mess him up!
That the entire world can enjoy at any given moment this true sign of brilliance by a new comer at that time is also a true sign of the importance of free internet and democracy ...thanks to Paul Pott's beautiful and personal performance and to those 87,695,986 people who have already (so far) viewed this video. With greetings from Iceland :-)
Ok, sure....hes not Pavarotti, Bocelli, Domingo, Carreras, or Lanza......but hey, thats just five guys in the whole freaking world!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paul can sing the aria better than probably 50 or maybe even hundred million others guys!!!!!!!. Haters, don't go away mad, but please, JUST GO AWAY!
@Nightsurf59 If you had heard Paul Potts sing live over 2 yrs ago you would not say such a cynical thing. Paul Potts does this aria justice as much as any one, infact the sweetness of his voice in my opinion puts him above. The towering range he commands is due to his pair of lungs, he also has the physique I see in so many great tenors, neck, jawline, shoulders.
ppl please stop being mean when your an adult and u become a opera singer your face is gonna be funny and its true please don't judge me or say bad words.
Every now and againI go back and watch this as its from the time when these shows still had credibility, now sadly they are nothing to do with the contestants and all about the judges and making Slimy Cowell richer. This guy was incredible and seeing how the audience were sniggering beforehand and in tears after shows you should never judge anyone on their appearance or background.
Just came back to watch this again! This never gets old! He is my favorite contestant compared to the contestants in all the other competitions, including american idol!
Paul Potts is working on another album, Susan is still very popular, Landau is doing fine. tell me, what was the name of the danceteam that beat Susan, where are they now, they are doing what now ? yeah...i thought so
fucking brilliant, and im a 20 year old male that listens to hip hop and grime, this is something nobody expected and if it don't give you goosebumps your stupid!
amanda at 1,58 she looks like she's having an emotional break down, thats the power of music! i wanna see talent in music not bare skin and sexiness!!!!
@SoldierNacional88 God willing I will be watching this in 2020 never mind 2012. Hope Paul makes a new album soon and does more concerts in UK. My favourite is Paul Potts singt La Prima Volta Oberhausen.
El mejor Nessum Dorma que he escuchado desde Pavarotti en 1994. Escalofriante, impresionante, de hecho creo que no hay adjetivo que pueda describir esta interpretación de Paul Potts del maestro Puccini. Te juzgaron antes de oirte y eso quizá fue mejor porque rompiste todos sus esquemas. Que esto sirva de lección, y que aprendamos a ver y escuchar el interior de las personas, que en el caso de Paul, es un gran interior. Gracias por regalarnos tu voz Paul, es un placer escucharte cantar.
Anybody who´s ever tried to accomplish their dream in life just has to LOVE this clip, and get inspired by it! and just put their WHOLE heart into any thing!!!!
Just go Paul! concur the universe!
You deserve it all. Just show your heart and passion to the whole world!!!!
I Am a man, No, I didn't cry, I did not feel emotionally moved, I loved the song, talent is amazing, and the voice is great, I liked the background story as well, but I'm not moved by it, kill myself or take lessons on emotions? Grow up.
I will always defrost -- OK, MELT -- at the 1:33 point where his younger relative/friend laughs in disbelief at how great it is. Her amazement is all of ours, but it's so sweet, too. Congrats!! :)
He truely has a talented voice! You could say his voice is unique! Just like Pavarottis! Not the level of Gigli, or Lanza or Caruso, but he is truely gifted!!!
He never quite matches this performance ever again. Understandable, of course. 1:02 (the lip), 1:42 (head tilt up)& 1:57 (sigh; tear on cheek) a highlight.
