  • sarah is the best!!!!

  • Que Paul que nada. É Bocelli na cabeça! Isso não é ópera, Paul. Bocelli sabe o que interpreta.

    Alexandre Vivacqua, Brasil

  • paul es una basura al lado de sarah brightman y creo que hasta el lo save sobre todas las virtudes que tiene sarah es bella y la cansion se oye mejor en la voz femenina

  • He is good but i would never change it from Andrea B and Sarah Brightman they just have something that makes the song so beautiful thats why its till the number one selling single since 1997 and that would never change.

  • well. give him chnce to show how talent paul

  • well. give him chnce to show how talent paul

  • Paul is not bad, but Sarah and Andrea are from some other planet, simply the best!

  • A. Bocelli is better then paul. Paul is amazing- but doesn't have the sparkle that A. Bocelli has.

  • Sarah is the best!!!!!!!!!! is amazing!!!!

  • Pots took it t the house.

  • SARAH BRIGHTMAN IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST EVER IN EARTH!!! HER VOICE IS PURE AND PERFECT.

  • I appreciate all 3 of these singers for their unique abilities . And you posters who are in a pissing contest should lighten up. Your " my father can lick your father" mentality is churlish.... As if a real music critic would read let alone post on YouTube..

  • paul really has to work on his italian accent.......on the other side andrea shold work on his english accent....and i should work on my gay accent....

  • @MrComric I've sad: The is made for Bocelli and Brightman and that's why it sounds mutch better when Bocelli it sings.

    Well actually I mean: This song is made for Bocelli and Brightman and that's why it sounds mutch better when Bocelli it sings.

  • PBS rocks!

  • Sarah and Andrea still the best. But I cant deny that Paul got talent. He's good

  • Sarah bright man

  • bocelli didnt even sing.. wtf.. paul potts' name shouldnt even be in the same sentence as sarah brightman and andrea bocelli

  • i love it , i love it , i love it! LOVED what u did with this virtual duel of opera singers, along with the new comer, Paul Potts. Very imaginative, the way u used sepia antiqued techniques...brings me back as if i were in an opera gallery, steeping back in time...what a blessing to see...and what amazing voices to hear. U did an awesome JoB. I have it under my favorites. Thank you! :)

  • bastante horrible....

    que se quede sarah con bocelli....

    mil veces mejor...

    es mi opinion solamente

  • Way too much overlapping at the end, it did not sound so good! Potts is an amateur compared to Bocelli and Brightman, it sounds like he's trying too hard. Paul has the potential to be the next Pavarotti but he needs some improvements.

  • @zucchini2007 

    1. you must think about ...this guy never learned to sing in a school hes selfmade..

    2. he was the 3. 4th time in front of so many people .. think about it

  • All 3 are good together.

    All 3 are lovely to listen to.

    Sarah and Andrea made this song the most famous.

  • Los que han dicho que no les gusta, ejemejem.... bueno que te puedo decir, no se deben gustar ni ellos mismos.

  • since I was a young boy i love Andrea bocelli, so i think it's impossible to campare those 3 unic voices, theis's voices are magic, put me in another and magical world

  • Paul Potts is the best!!!!!!!!!!

  • I adore opera, and I enjoy listening to a lot of different performers ... but tell me, was she sharp on some of those very high loud notes?

  • @fayskelley

    This isn't opera.

  • 3 great voices... it is impossible to compare each one is unique... Kind of 3 angels...

  • Sarah Brightman has so a great voice. Pul Potts is also great. But i prefer the original with Andrea Bocelli!

  • sarah the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • and i said it before, all we have to do is enjoy theyr talent, who are we to judge others? i wish i can sing one tenth as well as they can, so, i'll shut my piehole and let the singing to the pros, another thing, are you going to tell me that brittney spears has as much talent as this three? there's few good singers in pop, but i think you are too good for those, like whitney, eva cassidy or tony braxton, mr. bruno

  • hi, bruno, well, if you say you know so much, why do you like boccelli? he certainly is not as good as many claim, he and placido domingo sing really well, but lack of that thing called pure talent, maybe you have noticed that when they sing, they chance the position of the throat, and the voice doesn't come natural, paul is all there, the voice comes from that special place, some have it, some don't, have you heard singing pavaroti and placido tigether? if so, you'll know what i mean,

  • Hello betamax...are you now a voice teacher?? Change the position of the throat??Please. First of all Bocelli is a very accomplished singer with a much better voice than Potts..no contest though neither could sing on an opera stage. Domingo does have upper register issues to that I would agree. You want voice, real voice..check out Franco Corelli a legend. I know you people have this little love affair for Potts..good for you, but not in the same league as great singers

  • Bravo !

  • ok I'm faving this because Sarah is amazing and as for women shouldnt sing this you dont know what your talking about.

  • Sarah`s amazing!

  • Paul potts gives me the goosebumps ! He's soooo good !

  • bravo bravo bravo

  • Sorry to disagree with must of the comments, but Cecilia Bartoli is the greatest Opera singer Her coloraturas are the best in the art called Opera.

  • About that comment that girls shouldn't sing this song I disagree cause sarah know how to roll the lyric off the tong better then guys can.

  • Sarah Brightman looks good for being 50. If my wife ever looks like that at her age I would be so happy. Never like opera until I saw Sarah Brighman from St. Stephen's Cathedral in vienaa, Austria on PBS hd.

  • The quality of the video isn't the best, so many of Sarah's higher notes are lost. In my opinion, there is no contest. Brightman and Bocelli are the originals, and the best.

  • So if they were to fight ... who do you think would win? I'd give Boccelli the edge.

  • Paul sings from the heart.

  • This not a contest.  It is not a wrestling match. It is not a war.

    Brightman is excellent here.

    Potts is excellent as well

    Bocelli is excellent.

    wow, excellence and the public still has to find something wrong with it.

    Amazing.

    Just enjoy!

    It is a pleasure not a winner take all drag down

  • Absolutely.

    Anyone who thinks the enjoyment of music is some kind of contest is missing out.

    Enjoy it for what it is, people.

  • very shit Sound

  • Paul Potts sounds terrible when compared to the big boys

  • I agree.  I don't know why everyone thinks he's so great...someone adds some vibrato to their voice and the public thinks you're an opera singer. Same thing goes for Charlotte Church.

  • your right but i think he´s getting better now but he hasn´t yet the state of bocelli or pavarotti

  • true

  • Comment removed

  • When I listened to Paul Potts rendition of this, I was struck by how much better he hit the higher notes than Andrea Bocelli (who's voice gets 'reedy' on the high notes). Not that I'm disrespecting Bocelli, I'm just incredibly impressed and moved by Potts!

  • This is to whoever said that Paul is a copycat, he is a singer, not a writer, and, this is my personal opinion, one of the best out there, you people have to agree with me that he is better than many pop singers, who has no talent, so, you have to give props to Paul, cause he has a great voice, and is very easy to listen to him, and, is not a poser; also i'd like to say that some of the best rock music has come from england, Beatles, pink floyd, the who, among many others

  • Comment removed

  • Que coisa mais linda! Me emociona vozes como estas são divinas.

  • First of all, Thanks a lot to you, mr. Agakakazay, for giving us the joy of this beautiful music video, and to all of you, you are just proving how ignorants are by fighting about who's better, instead of enjoing the beauty of this, Paul, Andrea, Pavarotti, Placido, and all, they have something we don't have, and is a gift they are giving to us, so, all you have to do is seat back, and enjoy theyr talent, and whoever you think is best, that's just your personal taste, everybody is diferent.

  • Well said! Betamax080968

  • Boccelli is the best

  • CHE merda! Non capisco come QUALSIASI ignoranti che osano Cochin confrontare questo con il Maestro Pavarotti, questa merda È SOLO IL RISULTATO DI UN PRODUTTORE DI SIMILE ingannare la gente ... QUE MIERDA

  • Sarah brightman has the sweetest voice

  • good jobs, unchained music!!!

    your video mix is very good!!!

    congratlations

  • xsnizzi u are wrong. Even if Bocelli sang this years ago pavaroti sang them before him, so u cant say Paul Potts isnt original. Paul Potts and Bocelli have different voices so he cant be copying.

  • Thanks for the post - great job. To appreciate how good Paul is, you will have to consider how many years of practice these guys [ Pavarotti, Bocelli etc] have put in.

  • First of all, I would have to say that for being a mobile salesman, his voice is excellent, and secondly, anyone who comments otherwise is probably just jealous. Thirdly, he did this at competition and therefore, would most likely not have had time to make the song original to him. (Plus, it looks as if everything was tape accompaniment anyway.) And besides, everyone has copied something someone else has done at one point and time anyway.

  • I never like opera in my whole life until I hear the wonderful voice from Paul, just don't know why every time I listen the singing from Paul, all my emotion will come our, like joyful , saddens or happiness,etc. So overwhelming and he is just an increditable human being.

  • Paul Potts thinks he is Andrea Bocelli, I mean seriously, he's just a copy cat for crying out loud!

    Andrea sang these songs years ago! can't the Brits do anything original??

  • STFU will you?You aint shit!You are just one ugly jealous fuckface!We are all sure that Paul aint thinking that he is Andrea Bocelli, but himself!

    No disrespect, but you should be ashamed for posting such garbage.

  • Paul Potts is a copy cat, he is just doing what someone else has already done! big deal, listen to Andrea Boccelli if you want to hear the original and the best, this guy is just your typical over hyped Brit, the Brits just copy others then pretend they are the first, typically arrogant!

  • hotpussycat74. Boccelli wasnt the first man to sing this. It dates back years. I have very old recordings of male Opera singers and at least one of them sings this.

    The real reason the Boccelli /Brightman version was so successful (apart from it being beautiful) was, it was played in numerous Music stores, and was sold from these stores. Shopping centres were blasted with it day in and day out. That song sold the whole Album!!

  • Brightman was a friend of an iconic German boxer named Henry Maske and she asked Bocelli to perform Con te Partiro (I'll go with you) with her at Maske's final match after she heard him sing it at a restaurant. They changed that title lyric to 'Time to Say Goodbye' and that's the song that was playing when Maske lost and left boxing. It went to the top of the German charts the next day and the rest is history. Wikipedia fools!!

  • Bocelli was already a star and had won the Sanremo Festival

    they certainly made a world wide success of this song and eventually Andrea became extremely popular

  • No disrespect but your an idiot.

  • LMAO

  • I am an idiot?!Whats makes you then?A filthy Hoe maybe?Grow brain bitch before you want to say something.You dont know me, so STFU and keep your filthy words for someone else.Praise the God you aint living somewhere near to me, otherwise i'd cut you to pieces!Im sich of bitche's like you.Go fuck yourself irrogant piece of shit!

    Now, best regard's and enjoy your miserble life!

  • When you learn to spell, we might try to read your comments.

  • Don, go easy bro, lol. People are idiots for sure but all you're accomplishing by this is making yourself look like a crazy man.

  • DonTepavec....just read some of your

    comments....have you tried anger

    management? Counseling? Meds?

    My God man, you come acorss as one

    very angry psycho. Get help. What are

    so angry about regarding these posts?

    Paul Potts? Give yourself a break and

    calm the hell down before you blow

    a *********fuse.

  • Xsnizzi. Once again a comment from someone who doesn't know what he's talking about.How often have you been to an Opera? How often has the particular Opera been played? So, throughout the ages (according to you) all the greats of the Opera World are copy cats because someone performed the thing before they did? For goodness sake don't show such ignorance on here. You make a laughing stock of yourself!!

  • Oh come on people! Most opera singers train for years and years to do what this guy walked on stage one day out of the blue and belted out in front of thousands of us. THAT'S what makes Paul Potts so special ! Now, he'll get a coach.... but WHAT A VOICE !!

  • How bout Paul Potts and Susan Boyle doing this? huh? It'll be great.

  • great idea......i was just thinking who we could get to do the duet......

  • I think Paul Potts is an Amazing Singer and if anyone says anything bad against him they'll find my foot up their A**.

  • Potts is great if you like an untrained, often off key, mediocre voice. And it's not about whether I or any other critic can do better, it's about how he stacks up against the best and he falls far short.

  • For Every single person who feels it necessary

    to trash paul potts, just remember one thing, he is better at singing than you will ever be at anything you ever do in your entire life. Dont

    ever forget that and fuck off.

  • Sarah you are a Diva

    Andrea it was nice to hear you sing in Spanish " Besame mucho " and "Solamente una vez"

  • For Every single person who feels it necessary

    to trash paul potts, just remember one thing, he is better at singing than you will ever be at anything you ever do in your entire life. Dont

    ever forget that and fuck off.

  • i love andrea bocelli no one can sing that song better then him paul potts cant sing this song ...... LOL !!

  • Paul sings nice But Andrea sings the song better Paul needs more training I 'm sorry to say so

  • omg what a mess on the end. NOT a good movie man XDD, Good song tho

  • paul PORK huahuahuahuh

  • great job 5+

  • I want to pay Sarah Brightman to sing me to sleep, she has the voice of a thousand and one angels if not more!

  • Pul potts is not a tenor,,,,,he is a show man

  • He started out as a tenor.

    Simon made him a show man.

  • ¡¡Por favor basta ya de comparaciones absurdas!!!.La astucia del Sr. Cowell,los dólares de la compañia discográfica y la historia presentada por los medios de comunicación de que el Sr. Potts es el humilde vendedor de teléfonos e invierte sus pocos ahorros en maestros de canto en Italia para conseguir el sueño de triunfar en el canto lírico y ya desesperado por el fracaso lo intenta por última vez en el concurso que podría lanzarlo a la fama definitivamente y ahi está el aficionado..

  • mando bem...

  • i love andrea bocceli and paul potts!

  • unfortunately sarah will always have haunting her the idea some critics think that originally she was just an extra who didn't really make an impression with her talent to andrew webber except maybe to sleep with her, then he gave her a major part. some feel it could have been any other girl. i've liked her though in phantom.

  • eddtoro..Did you know that Lloyd-Webber not only slept with Brightman but was married to her? He would NEVER have given her the role of Christine, in Phantom, if he didn't think she was suitable. He only ever uses the best & I stress------- > 'uses'.

  • Not trying to diss Paul Potts but it's kinda of insulting to cut Bocelli out of this song

  • I have to agree. I love them both, Paul and Andrea, but cutting one out completely, who is as established as Bocelli is, is not yet justified, neither does it give the comparison between the two male singers.

  • muito lindo ainda mais o casal....

  • titan57nl  What?

  • sarah's voice its not weak, it's powerful but clear as crystal! if she was weak, she would not be heard while they're singing both together and also i think professionals know what they are doing :) XXX love you both sarah and bocelli! keep amazing us!

  • may i point out that she's using a microphone, they could easily just turn up the volume (and probably do) her voice isn't particularly powerful at all!

  • She has a very powerful voice. I saw her live in New Zealand. But lately she is not singing the way she use to.

  • Sara is amazing, powerful beautiful voice. Paul is great but still not as good as Bocelli, he will get there tough! WIth some more practice as a professional he will be even better then Bocelli.

  • La profesión y la técnica de unos (Bocelli-Brightman) y la voz natural sin pulir y aficionada de Potts que no aguanta los sostenidos...no se pueden hacer estas comparaciones porque no tienen el mismo nivel

  • 4:36 best time in my life .

  • hey you know what when you(darkboymicrea) old your face is fucking shit . so then turn to bone . he is talent than you . dont judge people by there face . fucking racists

  • muy pero muy buen montaje, es una cancion tan preciosa..me encantan....

  • sarah is the best....

  • I think they all great. :-)

    Potts gets me more emotional than Bocelli.

  • andrea bocelli has more felling in his song my vote goes to bocelli

  • Paul Potts , not aviable voce ,cerebral voice error ,not perform stable ,not cosmic voice ,not natural art.

    fuck marketing , for popular music canto artificial

  • angels, they look like angels and sing like angels. beautiful.

  • Brightman a pour elle une jolie c

  • wie wunderschön ist das bitte... sie hat eine grandiose Stimme...

  • very nice :-)

  • sara could never give me a hard on....but neither could the other two

  • paul potts sings very very good but the idea of a real duet its a platonic idea, i think sarah its too many size for paul

  • sarah brightman in angel, just listen her voice to get to heaven.

  • Thanks again AgaKakaZai :))

  • It should not be titled as 'vs' but as 'with instead. These great individuals does not come in many, so they are here for us, why compare when we can enjoy their gifts for all of us.

  • ANDREA BOCELLI WON THIS WITHOUT SINGING! HAHA

    well...3 of them are all too good to judge which is better =D

  • nice video awesome :-O

    greetz DhC

  • Paul won easily.

  • Paul Pots you raise me up.......

  • hermoso video pero pues andrea bocelli es mejor pero cada quien tiene su respeto

  • WOW....*****.

  • i think sarah won this one

  • both are winners when it comes to reality.

  • I love this song.

    It doesn't matter about who they are or how long they've been singing for, they're all amazing and they sing the song with equally the same amount of passion and talent.

  • By surfing on the net tonight, I did find Brit. tallents - and I did surf on to listen more to this silver crystal clear voice, i salute you Paul Potts. Today i heard your voice for the first time, and it gone be many more times... ;-)

  • great job man,keep going..

  • shut up!!!!!people who only knows how to give their bad comments!the thing is he is fantastic bitches!and accept it!

  • Potts "vs" Bocelli??? No disrespect to Mr. Potts but he has not yet earned the right to stand on the same stage as Ms. Brightman or Master Bocelli.

  • Que comentario tan ignorante...

  • It is not on da same stage, its called computer graphics.

    One is "Britain's got talent" stage and the other stage is Bocelli and Brightman's stage.

    I know it can be difficult at times trying to tell the difference with computer graphics.

  • Dude it has nothing to do about earning the right. If the producer & promoter choose to put Potts next, Bocelli nor Sarah has no control over.

    Only the promoters have the power to turn a frog into a celebrity.Sometimes it sucks & sometimes it work in your favor.You just have to have a courage & keep trying.You never know who maybe watching or listening.

  • great mix agakakazai, you've got talent too. thanks for sharing...

  • they are all amazing!!!!:)

  • I have ended up in the Twilight Zone !

    None of you knows the song titles, you cut out Bocelli to put this Phone Sales man in and you say that you suddenly LOVE opera !

    Has anybody ever stood still to contemplate that Sarah was "discovered" by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bocelli was "discovered" by Zucchero and Potts was "discovered" by a TV talent Show ?

    So, what do they all have in common? Well, easy, no one of the above was "discovered" by anybody who has anything to do with Opera!

  • FYI alfwilbert Sarah was studying music long before she met Andrew Lloyd Webber therefore no one discovered her...

  • Brightman never did study music. She attended the Arts Educational boarding school for jazz and acting. She debuted as a dancer in troupes such as Hot Gossip and later released a string of disco singles. She achieved greater fame as a musical theatre performer and partner of theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.

    If you want to sample her "talent" search for "Hot Gossip and Sarah Brightman - Starship Trooper" and then tell me again that she is a great opera singer

  • actually did you know that she has sold over 46 million records and is the worlds best selling soprano of all time in classical crossover...

  • Classical Cross-over !

    As in BMW X5? A Cross-over Off-road vehicle that you can't take off-road as it would get stuck?

    Are we not using words invented by clever Marketing Guys to sell something to the, not so clever, public?

    It has worked I guess !

    I rest my case !

  • did you ever think that maybe people were never exposed to, or had an interest in opera before they saw Paul Potts. don't be such a fucking music snob.

  • I am anything but a music snob. First and foremost, I like all kind of music, but I can differentiate and write without profanities, can you?

    I have nothing against Paul Potts, Sarah or Bocelly, they sing quite OK and they bring classical music to a wider mass. What I can't stand are people, who have not got a clue about the real work that goes into becoming a top opera singer, suddenly give judgement and say that any of the above is better then the real stars that have worked hard for it.

  • ^that is the definition of a music snob, doesn't matter if you like all types of music, it's the fact that you stating your knowledge over others, assuming you know more than anyone else.

    just because he wasn't born into an opera community/enviroment, study at opera school, but instead worked a normal job, he can't have skills, work effort of an top opera singer?

    p.s. no-one said that he was better the "real stars", he's only beginning as an opera singer he still needs to progress.

  • I see, according to you, someone who dares to correct a blatant mistake, I am referring to someone trying to tell me that Sarah studied Opera, is a snob in your book.

    I am intrigued to find out which dictionary you are using, as it definitively can not be the English one.

  • And the fact that you believe that there is something like an "opera environment" you can be "born into", is just the kind of reaction that makes the blood of any person who has studied opera boil, as it shows a total disregard to the hardship these people have gone through.

    And, No, you do not progress as an opera singer by jetting around the world attending American Talk Shows.

  • there is no need and space for comment is just beautifull

  • the name of this song is " con te partirò "

    P.S. Niunanfen Cmoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooon!

  • The sound is clipping all the time, you need to put less gain.

  • FUCK YOU ALL POTTS ROCKS

  • i feel Paul Potts better than Bocelli
