Not saying that this is bad. It isn't I've been impressed by Paul Potts from the first moment I heard him sing. But I have to say that so far Ive never heard anyone sing this better than Jussi Björling.
@PeTrTr This isn't good compared to the great voice that is Paul Potts.Look up Faddergalan och Paul Potts " O Holy Night" at the side there, the Paul Potts Reykjavik version, the "O Holy Night Clip" which Paul sang over 4 yrs since. It amazes me that the worst of this song by Paul has the most views. Yes Bjorling is amazing.
@TheMarigold8 First, I found the Reykjavik version and my opinion is still what it was before. Secondly, I have said this once and I will say it again, I am not dismissing him as a singer. When I made the statement "he sings because he loves to", I meant just that. In fact, if you would stop taking my comments out of context, (i.e. focusing on one part of my comment), you'll notice that my first comment was defending him as a singer and a performer.
paul@BrianWelchVEVO On the right hand side if Faddergalan Carola och Paul Potts O Holy Night. You say no Pavarotti etc, thenspeak of limitations in his "light" voice, you really should go down to one of his many concerts. Check out Caruso on his recent tour of Germany in Oct.2011
One of his recent Nessun Dormas in Jeon Ju
Paul Potts singt La Prima Volta Oberhausen
Pauls Potts Prague Granada. You dismiss Paul in the nicest possible way and he has a gentle yet strong voice.
When ask for others to be civil, I mean in how they give their opinion of him, positive or negative. I personally believe he sings well; divine would be a slight stretch. You may believe he sings "divinely" and may say whatever you choose to about him or my comments for that matter. I'm not dismissing him as a poor singer. When I say light voice I mean he has a lighter, softer timbre. There is nothing wrong with this but you cannot expect an enormous sound.
Jesus always wants us to love each other. Not that complicated. Never really wants us to adore him per say because when we love each other it is the same as loving him.
@MsKaaNo Try Paul Potts O Holy Night Reykjavik Iceland, better than Bjorlings. If you have come on here just to dismiss Pauls voice. To find this you would have bypassed Paul Potts O Holy Night Clip, taken at the time of audition, very beautiful. I saw Paul few years back in concert and was amazed like most at his voice. I find that on the classical sites the so called lovers of classical music critisizing others and so often rude, you would expect a bit more culture. puts you off looking in.
To me it's absolutely beautiful. To say otherwise surely means you don't walk with the spirit of Jesus. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.
This is dire. Do I walk with the spirit of Jesus? DO I FUCK. Where was your precious Jesus when all those poor people suffered in the south Asian tsunami? God-botherers do my fucking head in...Paul Potts is a terrible tenor, only made famous by a piss-poor, televised talent show

no i call delusional those who appear delusional, quite a logcial thought process actually. I have heard recording of live performances yes, and he is what a learned man might call a cruise ship singer. He has not and will never have the range or control of his voice to compete at any professional level. He has performed at venues because he has his story to travel with him, singers like Bocelli and Pavarotti survived on talent alone, THEY are singer.
@Unevaluated Paul Potts has survived for the last 4 years because of his talent.Have you not heard Pauls range and voice in concert, the you should especially
Paul Potts sings in Jeon Ju S. Korea (Nessun Dorma) that is good.
I have heard the professional opera singers, they did not get there without the background, they have to be able to throw their voice, but no way are few better than Paul Potts. Also he sang better in "O Holy Night Clip" before this performance.
are you joking? his voice is shakey, especially at the higher notes he struggles to maintain it. His range is VERY limited for a tenor what are you talking about?
you can't honestly think he is the same league as proffessional opera singers, surely? if so i'm sorry but you have clearly been swept up by the live performance, you sound delusional
@obamasuckss Not only Britain but people form all over the world who pay to see him and even come here, to his YouTube videos to listen to him :) Buddy, the day people compares you to Bocelli and Pavarotti, then you can talk :)
I accept that Paul entertains and thrills many audiences. Just not me, I was commenting on this clip which is particularly weak. However, I doubt that Paul himself would compare himself with the great opera tenors - they are and were a tiny band of extraordinarily talented individuals. Surely that's not what Paul is about. Paul is doing a good job in turning people to full opera and he is probably a much nicer man than many operatic greats!
This is pretty awful. He entertains many people and that must never be unestimated. But in terms of quality this is two divisions below the very best. I am sorry as I am Welsh and would like to be more positive. For the very best standard see Jussi Bjlorling's version. There are also many others that put Paul's version into the shade.
I'm not one to come on these sites and bash people like Paul Potts, because he has a lovely voice and can sing better than 99.9% of people. However, while this started out well it ended poorly. Honestly, there were probably 1000 better versions sung in churches around the world last Christmas Eve alone.
Y'know, I'm a photographer and one of the many rules of photography is 'Only show folks your good stuff'. Same should apply here. I'm sure Potts CAN sing, but this is just poor.
@hyperactive27 Yes, Paul washed out here. In concer though I heard a voice that sang the classics no less than the best. Paul has the instrument, been polished up this last few years. Paul is an excellant tenor along with many others, but Paul one of my favourites.
There is no doubt about it that Paul Potts has great talent and a lovely voice. I would like to hear him after he has spent about six months with a good singing coach. His technique is ragged to put it mildly. I still find him fascinating. Come on someone, get him a good coach.
I am sure Mr Potts is a fine fellow. Being able to recognize a truly gifted voice depends on what you have you ears trained to listen to. If you are used to listening to the television and the talent shows they like to present then you have not heard a true talent trained or untrained. Mr Potts sounds great compared to some the other "talent" on television.
Paul has sang this beautiful, I think there are a few trained classical singers on here that because of Pauls popularity have gone to find his bad days. I would suggest you type in paul Potts Concert in Jeon Ju S. Korea Nessun Dorma. It does not have the fanfare of chorus and all that Pavarottis concerts have, and it was taken by amatuer in audience, but I do not understand how it is worse than Corelli and other well trained. Pauls voice is beautiful to my ears, heard him 3 yrs ago, amazing.
He isnt a good singer. Björling is a good singer, Corelli too, and Caruso of course - but Paul Potts just sounds bad. I mean come on at 2:02 he missed the pitch by at least a semitone, and about four seconds later, he just sounds thin. No volume at all.
@Ifatov Finally with someone who understands music. It makes me laugh when the media uses their power to promote something. You can also watch "Voices ~ Music from Final Fantasy (20. "Opera ~ Maria and Draco" from Final Fantasy VI Part 2)" on youtube search. To be called good, you have to be at that level.
I'm sorry but this is not good. Listen to a few real trained voices sing this. This sounds very sad in comparison. If kind of feel bad for the very accomplished musicians.
@ellietobe: I hear you! It's a shame so few fail to recognize great talent these days. For example, Bjorling's 'O Holy Night' is an excellent display of raw and trained talent by one of the greatest tenors to have ever existed. The rich, versatile voice must be there before the training starts. If Potts and Bocelli fans could take off their blinders and recognize Bjorling's very rare talent (as Pavarotti did), they might discover they live in a world of hyped-up mediocrity.
@scarletrosemarie: Potts may have sounded good in concert to you. I understand how you can imagine him sounding as good as the great tenors. However, Caruso, Bjorling, Gigli, Corelli, Wunderlich, Pavarotti, and a few others had much richer voices and would have absolutely floored you in concert.
So, you see, I'm not judging Potts by his worst performances, His thin voice is what will keep him from achieving greatness. Potts doesn't have the potential to equal Caruso, Bjorling et al.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think a lot of people just love his "underdog-story" and like his teddybear-look. Surely he´s a symphatic and nice guy - but to speak about his voice and its quality- this video possibly makes clear, that within a row of professionel tenors he is -and ever will be-just average-frindly spoken.
I'm glad Potts won the prize across the pond. Not bad for an amateur. You'll see what I mean after listening to Bjorling and Caruso sing O Holy Night and a few other popular songs and arias.
@fritz5114 Hey, hey, hey, don't become racist. Potts is about a quarter note below the requested tone pitch, and is kind of pressing every note out, what just sounds crappy; if he was a professional tenor, he would be recommended to change his job. He is just one of those shooting stars without any skills but with a heart-breaking life story that makes everybody cry. The American Dream, huh? By the way: Have you ever heard Björlings interpretation of this piece?
wow, people like this attaining fame is the reason it's so hard to find a proper vocal technic anymore. I can't wait until he decides he needs to start teaching his "technique"... oh boy...
Nice singing. I like Paul as a person very much. In this wonderful French carol he's of course up against more than fierce competition from the distant past (NOT THE PRESENT - Mariah Carey, et. al. ....). I'm thinking of Enrico Caruso (original French), Jussi Björling (Swedish), Georges Thill (original French), Mario Lanza (English).
Paul Potts is a remarkable singer. His version of Nissan Dorma is a masterpiece played 10:1 over any other version on ytube. The saying goes liars figure, but figures don't lie. The proof is is undeniable and the critics words are shallow with transparent envy and/or ignorance.
People who have seen Paul Potts in concert and seen many great performances of Paul know how good he is, very good, very very good, very very very good, so when a video of Paul is shown when he is under weather the critics, often jealous of his success find their way to do mischief.
Fans, if you would like to see this video removed and replaced with his excellant
"O Holy Night" vids as stated by others or some other great performances by Paul tucked away on YT for no one to find thumbs up
@Kotlettbengt you fuckin dirty uneducated cunt i fuck your slut mother. oearj some opera etitquit and stop sucking paul potts fat cock. he will never be a tenor
This is a pretty poor performance, his tuning is way off on most of the high notes. Guess that's what happens when you knacker your voice from singing Nessun Dorma over and over with bad technique...
@gijoephillips Merry Christmas to you also. I noticed you have joined this day. so someone more regular on Pauls vids. will know who you was in a past life. I have just looked up other Holy Night versions by Paul and they are of a super singer, the one I heard Oct. 2009 Notts. If ears bleeding go to hospital. It takes lot of energy to confront someone like you so people who know his voice will put the thumbs down. Reykjavik Holy Night Clip Swedish singer duet critics stay clear of, but not here.

I'm sorry but I don't think he is good. He is out of tune to many times for my taste. Everyone seems to think he some wonder-child just because he shocked everyone on Britain's got talent,but there are way better unemployed singers out there who deserves this more than he does and have laid down much more work than he has...
Doesn't do much for me I'm afraid. I really like the piece, but I've heard many more engaging and polished performances of it, often by less famous singers.
Had the honour of seeing Paul preform in Dublin '10, and to meet him afterwards. He is the perfect gentleman and a fantastic singer. For someone to walk in off the street over 2 years ago to be on the world stage since then is some achievement. I love his voice
@Oldmannorthridge Yes, how much I agree with you, seems many more do, also with russzkij. Fantastic is putting it mildy. Paul looks washed out here, he was thrown in at deap end to order, where as others prepare properly.
Well he is a very nice singer and certainly better than me LOL but dont and I mean DONT listen to David Phelps sing this song or you will be permanently spoilt of listening to anyone else! I am
@MsCcatts Listen to Paul Potts sing O Holy Night in Iceland yesterday, it should replace this. Paul is an incredibly NICE singer, and you will be permanently spoilt also if you saw in concert how good he is.
Well, The Master of Opera, the fantastic singer Pavarotti gone back to haven, in the same time a star was born, Paul! We have a talented tenor again, who makes the opera classics alive! Look at that way "dislikes" people and critics! After Pavarotti is extremely hard to sing and be good as He was, but Paul is there and He is good! Just show up someone else even just close to Paul's suited to operas voice! We need to support him instead of pushing him done!

Let me tell you MR: SCARLETROSEMARIE if this guy can hardly sing O'holy night and the Ave Maria i have to tell you i dont know how he can sing the lyric material ,or like you put it on your post ,he nails the arias ,take it from a professional opera singer such as myself the guy is bad it is a shame to hear this Paul Pots with such of great Orchestras it is nothing but vocal pain i guess they need it to burn some money and they found this guy went you are a proffesional singer this is not what
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I must said the music industry or the people that run it do not know much about talent or a great voice and this singer is the proff of just that this guy truly needs voice training ,or somethig that you can not get with training God giving talent and this case a beatiful voice , i guess that the way it goes talent not need it , poor choice he is not that good !!!! Sorry if this is not what he wants to hear ... My very honest opinion .
@russzkij You should grow some braincells yourself. I'm not saying this is bad but is sure isn't good. With that annoying chorus on the background. Listen to jussi bjorling's version and reply.
@russzkij You should grow some braincells yourself. I'm not saying this is bad but is sure isn't good. With that annoying chorus on the background. Listen to jussi bjorling version and reply.
blame my ear. but it sounds like he slightly off pitch on some of the notes. I'm also not a fan of the British way of over rolling the "R's" its ok in Laten and some foriegn languages, but should be subltle in English. I've sang a similar arrangement and he rushed the ending. Possibly nerves or running out of air.
He sings this really great but I think it´s a little bit to high, he would have been singing a bit lower, like the great Jussi Björling did in his version of this song! At times they have avoice that sounds almost the same. If you like this version so please check out Jussi Björlings version of this song. /Eric
Great voice, but a couple of fixable errors here and there which could be fixed with a couple lessons and some voice training. For example, 1:33 he switches to falsetto and then back to full voice when I know he's capable of a refined full sound at that pitch. His richness and sensitivity to dynamics is marvelous however, and I applaude his success.
Aimee Elizabeth on Australias Got Talent does this so well If you like this you got to see Aimee... Just type her name to see on youtube... To see the full song Find her on facebook... Enjoy...
I do realize I have an untrained ear for this type of singing, and after reading the disagreements on his singing ability, I have to say that I don't think he is that good. He doens't seem to have the control over his voice that a lot of other well known singers have. Yes, he does sing beautifully, but isn't in the same league as Caruso and others, I just don't think there is any comparison.
@GracieMay7 Paul Potts has n incredible voice, seen him up ther on the stage. Look up "O Holy Night Clip". the singing is very emotional. I think his voice better than Caruso, although I have not seen Caruso live on stage because he has been dead for decades. I do not understand why you feel the need to come on to say this, and why you have chosen to comment on this particular video. The pros. have bad days but not on u.tube. They cancel because established. Paul tired here
@thornbirds26 Yes he has a nice voice but he is straining in parts & his voice lacks a certain tone quality & he does not have the control that Caruso had. Also his annunciation is sharp at times. I also think there were many singers far more talented than Caruso. A person doesn't have to be the greatest singer to be enjoyed. Take Josh Groban, his voice is far less polished than many others but I enjoy his singing very much. You love his singing and I think that is just fine : )
One of my favorites!!! Check out my videos and tell me what you think:) I'm not a pro, and I dont have pro quality equipment to record on, but I would like some input on my singing:)
@scarletrosemarie I listened to it just because you told me to. I had certainly never heard it before. I have seldom or hardly ever posted anything on Potts videos, compared to how much I have posted on others. Most people HAS NOT really listened to any other versions, if they do they admit that these are better sung. I don't have to listen, but you don't have to read. Just iggy me. Or don't read me. Or Complain to Fritz and he will ban me. What's the big deal? If you know that he is best, so..?
@scarletrosemarie Are you listening to Potts just because he made it from carphones selling? The thing is how he sounds. His singing is awful, if his version were the only one, you could take it, but there are better ones. As for Carola, it was a horror version, even worse than this. I repeat: Have you even LISTENED to Caruso, Thill or Bjoerling on youtube? Type: Holy Thill, Holy Caruso. Or Holy Bjoerling. They sound so much better, isn't that what counts? Even if Potts worked hard, so what?
He has such a wonderful voice, sings from his heart ..1 day he will stand alongside pavarotti and other gr8 singers.

He has performed at venues because he has his story to travel with him, singers like Bocelli and Pavarotti survived on talent alone, THEY are singer.

@Unevaluated Paul Potts has survived for the last 4 years because of his talent.Have you not heard Pauls range and voice in concert, the you should especially
Paul Potts sings in Jeon Ju S. Korea (Nessun Dorma) that is good.
I have heard the professional opera singers, they did not get there without the background, they have to be able to throw their voice, but no way are few better than Paul Potts. Also he sang better in "O Holy Night Clip" before this performance.

I accept that Paul entertains and thrills many audiences. Just not me, I was commenting on this clip which is particularly weak. However, I doubt that Paul himself would compare himself with the great opera tenors - they are and were a tiny band of extraordinarily talented individuals. Surely that's not what Paul is about. Paul is doing a good job in turning people to full opera and he is probably a much nicer man than many operatic greats!

This is pretty awful. He entertains many people and that must never be unestimated. But in terms of quality this is two divisions below the very best. I am sorry as I am Welsh and would like to be more positive. For the very best standard see Jussi Bjlorling's version. There are also many others that put Paul's version into the shade.

Mr. Potts is a fantastic singer but in all honesty, this version isn't the best and it isn't his best either.

@scarletrosemarie: the Reykjavik version was indeed much better. I think it must be the Nordic influence and all that, well, ice.
Which makes sense. My favorite version of this carol is by a Scandanavian tenor named Jussi Bjoerling. Here is a link for it:

I am sure Mr Potts is a fine fellow. Being able to recognize a truly gifted voice depends on what you have you ears trained to listen to. If you are used to listening to the television and the talent shows they like to present then you have not heard a true talent trained or untrained. Mr Potts sounds great compared to some the other "talent" on television.
ellietobe 1 year ago
Paul has sang this beautiful, I think there are a few trained classical singers on here that because of Pauls popularity have gone to find his bad days. I would suggest you type in paul Potts Concert in Jeon Ju S. Korea Nessun Dorma. It does not have the fanfare of chorus and all that Pavarottis concerts have, and it was taken by amatuer in audience, but I do not understand how it is worse than Corelli and other well trained. Pauls voice is beautiful to my ears, heard him 3 yrs ago, amazing.
walkonwildside 1 year ago
He isnt a good singer. Björling is a good singer, Corelli too, and Caruso of course - but Paul Potts just sounds bad. I mean come on at 2:02 he missed the pitch by at least a semitone, and about four seconds later, he just sounds thin. No volume at all.

@ellietobe: I hear you! It's a shame so few fail to recognize great talent these days. For example, Bjorling's 'O Holy Night' is an excellent display of raw and trained talent by one of the greatest tenors to have ever existed. The rich, versatile voice must be there before the training starts. If Potts and Bocelli fans could take off their blinders and recognize Bjorling's very rare talent (as Pavarotti did), they might discover they live in a world of hyped-up mediocrity.
wiseroldfart 1 year ago
@scarletrosemarie: Potts may have sounded good in concert to you. I understand how you can imagine him sounding as good as the great tenors. However, Caruso, Bjorling, Gigli, Corelli, Wunderlich, Pavarotti, and a few others had much richer voices and would have absolutely floored you in concert.
So, you see, I'm not judging Potts by his worst performances, His thin voice is what will keep him from achieving greatness. Potts doesn't have the potential to equal Caruso, Bjorling et al.

In this wonderful French carol he's of course up against more than fierce competition from the distant past (NOT THE PRESENT - Mariah Carey, et. al. ....). I'm thinking of Enrico Caruso (original French), Jussi Björling (Swedish), Georges Thill (original French), Mario Lanza (English).

Great voice, but a couple of fixable errors here and there which could be fixed with a couple lessons and some voice training.

His richness and sensitivity to dynamics is marvelous however, and I applaude his success.

I do realize I have an untrained ear for this type of singing, and after reading the disagreements on his singing ability, I have to say that I don't think he is that good. He doens't seem to have the control over his voice that a lot of other well known singers have. Yes, he does sing beautifully, but isn't in the same league as Caruso and others, I just don't think there is any comparison.

@GracieMay7 Paul Potts has n incredible voice, seen him up ther on the stage. Look up "O Holy Night Clip". the singing is very emotional. I think his voice better than Caruso, although I have not seen Caruso live on stage because he has been dead for decades. I do not understand why you feel the need to come on to say this, and why you have chosen to comment on this particular video. The pros. have bad days but not on u.tube. They cancel because established. Paul tired here
thornbirds26 1 year ago
@thornbirds26 Yes he has a nice voice but he is straining in parts & his voice lacks a certain tone quality & he does not have the control that Caruso had. Also his annunciation is sharp at times. I also think there were many singers far more talented than Caruso. A person doesn't have to be the greatest singer to be enjoyed. Take Josh Groban, his voice is far less polished than many others but I enjoy his singing very much. You love his singing and I think that is just fine : )
