Paul Potts, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Italian Version) - Australia's Got Talent 2009

[rrc143]

So, then your saying that the man CAN sing!, before even ever had a single lesson.

[annatar3]

so overrated, damn i hate the world

[zorgen123]

@annatar3 that's nice, by the way, the world doesn't need you. Go find a hole and crawl into it. We won't miss you..honest. :)

[annatar3]

@zorgen123 dont worry im planning on doing just that, i wont miss u either. But if you think this guys is a good opera tenor right now, you need to listen to more opera, kid.

[zorgen123]

@annatar3 More opera..kid? Why thank you. At 58 being called a kid makes me feel younger. I do listen to quite a bit of opera and I agree Paul is not the greatest of our time but I like where he came from and what he's been able to accomplish. I like his voice and even though he's not great I enjoy him. The guy was a nobody and now he's making albums and performing in concerts. If you don't then why post your negative review. Just go away.

[annatar3]

@zorgen123 i care because there are other professional and talented singers that deserve more attention than this little excuse of a man.

[mrrogue72]

@annatar3 LOL Jealousy a Muthafucka !!

[annatar3]

@mrrogue72 jealousy of what?? his fat cunt??? im not saying he hasnt talent, BUT he has no technic AT ALL, he needs years and years of practice before singing correctly, like every opera singer. And more importantly if he keeps singing like this he is going to hurt his voice for ever. Let the man spend 10 years training and THEN sing in front of an audience, because this is ridiculous!

[Lucinka58]

Why doesn't he sing it in English?

I mean....... nothing against his singing, it is beautiful!

But the original of this song is English so why sing it in Italian??

Is there any logical reason to why would a British singer sing an English song in Italian in Australia?

lol..... weird...

[ChickWithBrainz83]

@Lucinka58 if you watched his original audtion he wanted to be an opera singer and from what I figure that is why he performs well known english songs in itlaian....just a thought....

[simpleearthling]

@Lucinka58 he,s just a fat cunt who fucking cares what he sings ,,he,s a prick

[JohnMalcolm]

@simpleearthling You have every right to say you don't like it. That's the price the rest of us pay to have real beauty in our lives. It's cheap; like your language..

[simpleearthling]

@JohnMalcolm shut up you lonely old fuck ,,oh have a nice xmas ALONE

[wemorris1001]

This host is extremely annoying. Great rendition, though.

[AngelicaGarciia]

su voz es maravillosaaa

[PtolemyJones]

no way there is a performer out there called Paul Potts (Pol Pot). it has to be a sick, sick joke.

[JohnMalcolm]

@PtolemyJones Congratulations! You are the millionth person to comment on this pretty obvious coincidence.

[PtolemyJones]

@JohnMalcolm Sweet!!! What do I win? I have no idea what yer talking about, probably the horrendous choice for a stage name, but I'll take the prize.

[Milylily4Ever]

good really good paul

[vivivivi2]

Musica incrível, parabéns!!!!

[fabiobcom]

Incrivelmente fantastico

[buffyxangelll]

i'm in love with paul, i'm only 18 but I don't care. I'm in love with his personality

[onedollarhairstylist]

BRAVO!!!!!! Tks Paul I cant wait to c ya in d other side!

[balconyboy22]

he is getting better but his head and chin is gettin fatter...ease up on the pies paul! but raw talent none the less!;-)

[arsenalmanic]

he is superb. everytime he delivers

[SowdenSue]

His beautiful voice communicates so much more than the supercilious sentiments one hears on the mobile phones he used to sell.

[bearousisfree]

Why must everything Opera or Operaish be in Italion or some other language ?I really enjoy Paul & other gifted singers BUT ,I'm not all that great at lingistics & would appreciate understanding what I'm hearing...In other words how about some ENGLISH !!!!! THat way WE the language challenged might truly expand ower minds & hearts & mabey just mabey learn a littel about the rest of the world & some other cultures??? What doya think?

[AKABoondock19]

@bearousisfree Considering almost everything in the world is in English, perhaps you will be able to "expand your mind" by listening to other languages once in a while....you sound like such an ignorant American.....and I'm an American myself.

[bearousisfree]

@AKABoondock19 Yes I'm an ignorant American, but willing to learn & expand my mind to other things,just be alot eazyer if there were subtitals or something!!!

[t33tman]

@AKABoondock19 I'm NOT an ignorant American. I'm not American. I'm just ignorant.

[Souljah808]

@bearousisfree thats like asking why is mariachi music always in spanish .. opera originated in italy .. the name opera is a latin word ... dont ask me what it means cause i dont remember.

[floridechamps]

angel voice!

[ve9jonny]

Thanks for the upload!

[Kaynos]

Fabulous !

[niettevragen]

At last....this is the only MALE version i like...the rest is just hermafrodites...

[Chatatonic]

Awesome :) After one time I thought "nice"... but after seeing a lot of his performances I just say: "great" !

[4729311]

¡¡¡¡ Felicitaciones naciste para esto ¡¡¡ increible fantastico ahora es tu era lo haces muy bien ¡¡¡¡ fantastico !!!!!!

[dishonorme]

This song sound so much more emotion and love in Italin/opera.....

[OrbiliusMagister]

La sua pronuncia dell'italiano è lievemente migliorata in due anni. Il livello di Josh Groban comincia ad essere alla sua portata.

Luckily his Italian diction has got better (whew) after two years. Groban's level is now nearer.

[OrbiliusMagister]

La sua pronuncia dell'italiano è lievemente migliorata in due anni. Il livello di Josh Grobhan comincia ad essere alla sua portata.

[Filionix]

bravissimo!!

[trottolicchio]

Bravo,bella voce! (beautiful voice)

[altair1590]

Bravissimo!!!

[electricslipper]

Paul Potts needs to go on a diet and do some road work to build up his lung capacity. The secret to "The first time ever I saw your face" is its simplicity. Paul's presentation is way over produced. I think a single cello would be fine. Paul has great pitch but not enough power.

WHERE IS COSMIO PROPELLOR?

[lislettra]

Essa música não exige esse tipo de interpretação, houve exagero para destacar sua voz. Ela deve ser interpretada bem lenta como na voz de Johnny Cash.

[ferbe1776]

Como ousa? Belíssima interpretação!

[konstantijnvc]

Paul Potts will be one of the big names in classic music 10/10.

[58enrico58]

....este chico tiene una habilidad excepcional ,bravo paul!!!!!!!!

[fainaALESSIO]

mammamia che bravoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[epiovesan1960]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Floyoke]

@epiovesan1960 I do agree with you.

[emmaandkailey356]

ce ce belisamo

[xXxTITCHYBABYxXx]

People like him, who don't get noticed until they make themselves become noticed, are amazing!!! Don't matter who's better! He's English. And brilliant!!!!!! xx

[grtlivesinhenllan]

just gotta correct you there, he's actually welsh.

[mrbillymorris12]

hes welsh actually

[pipsondemand]

AMAZING !

[ildr2003]

Wow, he is getting better and better!!

[colonsayace]

he is A M A Z I N G no word can describe him, 2.01- onwards blow me away omg h is inspirationall well done paul...

[bernard1422]

By his own avowal he has said that Italian is the most romantic language to sing in. This is, of course, very arbitrary and moot. We who speak English do not croak or belch, and our minstrels already have been singing very lovely songs for many centuries. He should, however, definitely adapt his music for his audience, and, hence, touch as many hearts as possible in their own language.

[Curt090]

he is a great singer

[Edithjuneau]

WOW FANTASTIC !!!!

[fernando5558]

nice  voice but the italian is so inaccurate, and imprecise, anyway he sing good

[thedavejayshow]

About as good as your english then !

[fernando5558]

You are right my english is REALLY bad.... but i dont have pretensions to sing in english hahaha!!!

bye bye

[Lamppostshines]

don't worry bout ur english. italian rocks

[sccw367]

Oh........wow.

[Alwyn1000]

..........

[koroET]

he's getting better and better each time i see him. Truly an artist.

[c00per69]

moving

[Exialed]

Aww I love the old lady at 2:06

[jorosed]

Excellent performer.

[balihai44]

Paul, the contestants are very fortunate that you were a Celebrity Guest and not a competitor!!

Beautifully done!!!
