  • hammer top-danke

  • HITMAN !!!!

  • no one can bit nana mouskouri in ave maria but paul is also a great singer

  • 47 ? This is Diana ....

  • Comment removed

  • His voice is less powerful than some of the more famous singers, but he has a calmness in his voice that is soothing.

  • @hylogibbon Pauls voice is very powerful, not here though. Check out some good videos of Paul. When I saw Paul is range and high notes were incredible, so says most others who have attended his concerts, especially the ones of few years back. I think Paul here looks very tired due to demanding circumstances.

  • @auntyflorrieunclesam His vibrato and control his very beautiful. He can control the ends of the note so beautifully ,hard to explain the technicality but a thing only which very brilliant Eastern Classical and Western Classical singers can do.

  • LOVE the tone in his voice!

  • I'm from Bridgend and this guy is amazing

  • PAUL POTTS IS A GREAT OPERA SINGER AND I ENJOY WHATEVER HE SINGS. Myron464usa

  • This song makes me think of Hitman: Blood Money...

  • that is such beautiful voice.

  • LOL he looks like a paul potts... hahaha

  • I think I have something in my eye..

  • damn dust in my eyes

  • He got his teeth fixed! good for him, did he blow it

  • 240p concerns the video quality, not the sound. However, when the video is shit, very often the sound aswell is shit. But you can have good sound and shitty video.

  • @angerock49 Actually on youtube it determines the level of compression as well, it's a bit of a misnomer here. So 240p videos are the most compressed, which can heavily effect the sound, while 1080p are usually uncompressed.

  • @UnholyWarcry Yes of course there's still a second compression. Are you sure 1080p videos aren't compressed ? It seemed to me they weren't full HD like on vimeo.

  • @angerock49 I'm not positive. Could just be that the uploader of the 1080p video in question is uploading uncompressed video that isn't HD quality in the first place though.

  • @UnholyWarcry Perhaps!

  • Uma voz forte e ao mesmo tempo doce, um deleite para minha alma. Paul, parabéns

  • 240 p We meet again

  • To date I put little effort to appreciate opera for entertainment and as an art. "Paul Potts" Has offered to me the joy of it. If he comes to Boston, I'm In.

  • hitman 

  • 240 p We me........ WTF? This actually sounds amazing!

  • Perfect Solo Voice !

  • HIS TEETH ARE FIXED!!!!

  • @contentlocked99 yeah...i was about to say the same thing...:P

  • @contentlocked99 loooooooool! NICE!

  • @contentlocked99 lick my nuts

  • @ooDirtyMickoo nah i dont swing that way brah. quit bein a newfag and gettin all butthurt.

  • @contentlocked99 iz fun doh ;)

  • @contentlocked99 somehow I knew your comment was going to be one of the top

  • i enjoy florez as well,very beautiful and effortless.imho,tenors should not really be compared at all, but rather should be individually enjoyed each in his own right.i dont know about those high c's,never heard it,but i have no reason to doubt it.im sure his voice has grown as well since that performance.my comment was merely about that single performance.i'll have to listen to some more recent performances.hope he sings some mozart opera arias!would surely suit his sound and temperament.Thx!

  • lovely light singing,until the high c at the end,seemingly specially written for this performance.i prefer mr potts in this kind of repertoire(which is NOT opera)to his nessun dorma.he has a lovely light lyric tenor voice,and a great personal story,etc.i would love to hear him sing some britten songs,for example,or some mozart,if he simply must sing opera. but comparisons with pavarotti are,imho, inaccurate.

  • @thegnomeidentity I read that he di about 12 high Cs in one concert perfectly last year, prefer Mr. Potts in the powerful arias which is opera. Pauls personal story was not known until long after the first audition. Paul is a great tenor in his own right, he shouldn't be compared, but seeing as you are he now can belt this aria off up there with the best. Oh and I prefer the voice of Paul and a few others like Florez who is also a gentle lyric teenor voice.

  • @thegnomeidentity Sorry, when I said aria I meant Nessun Dorma not this. Ave Maria I prefer with a woman or young boys voice, not for Paul, the powerful arias Paul sings amazingly. Paul sang Ave Maria without amplification in a large church, thats the best version of this he has sang, and yes he simply should sing opera, he has the powerful voice for it, and like few pro. opera singers his voice does not grate down on you.

  • I'm following this guy all the way.

  • TheoLeonMati I like what you said!!!!So good!!!!!

  • thumbs up if U would love to be able to sing opera

  • wenn er singen könnte, könnte es ja ganz gut werden. ü b e n kleiner

  • Never judge the books by its cover

  • only he makes 240p sound good

    

  • @guitarcobra f*cking right. :)

  • he got his teeth fixed

  • fritz5108 please get rid of this video, its attracting all the critics. Why do they come on here when there are so many great videos of Pauls voice out ther. Paul Potts voice has great strength, from where he has come and from where it is today. People that like to detract from Paul Potts want to go to one of his concerts, more than 450/500 worldwide. There are some great videos of O Holy Night by Paul out there, but you know the one the critics find is the one where he is knackered.

  • @monsoonseasonaugust A video is posted which leaves it open for members to post their opinion ( which I might add they are perfectly entitled to do so ).

    Why shouldn't critcs come on here and post their opinion ?? I did spend a sizeable amount of money to purchase two tickets to see Pavarotti in concert. I would never spend anything near that amount to see Paul Potts, he has a nice voice and it's wonderful that he is fulfilling his dream but he's no Pavarotti in any form !

  • @jeanmunn As long as there your opinions, do look up

    Paul Potts in jeon Ju S.Korea Nessun Dorma, and a friend from UK tells me that you have been coming on to detract from Paul Potts few years in the past.

    You are entitled to your opinions, and your opinion is to criticise a singer who has improved every year since BGT. This is not a good video, and Paul did say there was technical troubles with the orchestra. Now you have made your opinions of Paul known, why not move on to some singer you like

  • @thornbirds26 Rather obvious you just " don't get it " who is knocking Paul Potts ? and what does your comment mean ??? " coming on to detract from Paul Potts few years in the past " what the fuck does that mean ????

    The whole point is plain and simple,,he was compared to Pavarotti,,,and it is simple,,as good a voice as Potts has he will never now or any other time be in the same league as Pavarotti, if you think so then so be it,,who fucking cares !! Merry Christmas.

  • I love this guy! He's one of my inspirations.....im deaf in one ear and yet hearing myself, it surprises how well i can sing some opera....great job, i hope to be half as good as him one day

  • that you of this man

  • He fixed his teeth! from the last vid i saw anyway

  • @acds413 The show probably paid for it. :P

  • prima , gracia

  • great...

  • Paul Potts is the only man who can make Chuck Norris Cry ;)

  • @TheLeonMati whahahahah!!! how funny :p

  • @TheLeonMati Sorry, but the only man who can make Chuck Norris cry is Chuck Norris

  • @TheLeonMati Chuck Norris is the only man who can roundhouse kick Ave Maria.

  • @TheLeonMati Bruce Lee when he was alive could make Chuck Norris cry like a baby

  • @TheLeonMati true

    

  • @TheLeonMati Paul potts is chuck norris's radio

  • @TheLeonMati That's hilarious!

  • i see he got his teeth fixed?

  • good song

  • schubert most be smiling down listening to this :)

  • Er rührte zu Tränen, weil er echt fies aussah und dann erstaunlicherweise ganz gut gesungen hat. Der Zauber ist aber mittlerweile verpufft. Finde ich. Ok, Ohrenschmerzen bleiben aus- aber der Hype ist übertrieben. Er wackelt und scheppert an manchen Stellen gewaltig.

  • Luciano Pavarottie reincarnation

  • Alfredo krauss was the best

  • He got his teeth fixed/capped?

  • das ist nicht musik das ist nicht gott das ist besser

  • @Sessi2001 "Vollunterstreich" (die ersten vier Wörter)

  • ahhh this is beautiful! the only thing I feel bad about is that last note he kinda cracked/couldn't really hit it completely :/ But hey, that's hard as hell to begin with. He is an amazing singer!

  • @jmljr93 I re-played the very last because I, too, thought I heard a "crack" in his voice. And then it seemed like it was instrumentation and thought I was, perhaps, wrong. I listen with Bose headphones because my hearing isn't as good as it once was. And, yes, it looks like his front teeth are str8ened. Making his physical appearance better doesn't in any way detract from his incredible voice and his considerable humility. And to think that he was bullied as a little boy.

  • this is a tallent, no shakira or fu.cking justin bieber ,this men its a great singer i like this song and her voice.

  • klingt als ob man einen hamster erwürgt!

  • @SNTbkb Du sollst scheisse fressen arsloch! Klappe Zu!

  • Very good!!

  • I have never been a fan of Opera until I heard Paul Potts. His voice stirs my emotions to a point where my eyes swell with tears of joy. I have never experience this kind of reaction with anyone’s music. Paul Potts is a gift of our time.

  • Ich liebe dieses lied

  • ECELENT....!

  • PAUL GENIOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAS APARIENCIAS NO LO SON TODO

  • RÉQUIEM

  • me creia que era la de Bisbal xdddd

  • ES REALMENTE SORPRENDENTE LA SENCILLEZ DE ESTE CRISTIANO, PERO ESCUCHAR LO MARAVILLOSO DE SU VOZ ME DEJO PASMADO.......... EXCELENTE

  • @Wurto yeah, let's go do a study on the average population. he kicks their butts, hands down, he's above average, because the average can't sing.

  • @Wurto haters gonna hate.

  • for chanching the key! the end was horrible!

  • Эх, Паша, не так что-то ты поёшь... :)

  • ich finde er hat eine wundervolle stimme.

    er zeigt das man von der unteren schicht schnell in die obere schicht steigen in der heutigen zeit.

    ich finde das schön das er es geschafft hat und das er in seinen weiteren leben diesen erfolg weiterhin hat.

    ich finde es auch toll das er genauso ist wie früher d.h er ist nciht hochnesig geworden

  • I see he got his Teeth fixed, Must pay pretty good?

  • 20€ INGEBORG und OTTO Mannheim, Eurasburg. 2:30

    Ingeborg... ich kann nicht mehr. :'D

  • What a load of shite

  • ojos cerrados , Andrea bocelli

  • He is going to be the next Luciano Pavarotti! He is just amazing with his ability to sing the most difficult music which is opera! I love to listen to it! It just fills a persons soul as you hear it, and it is different each time you hear the same piece. Words just can't explain it properly.

  • @usrob1 next pavarotti eh? either youre drunk or know nothing about opera. gonna go with the latter.

  • @usrob1 not even close but he is amazing !

  • @usrob1 What a great talent Paul has,,a very fine voice indeed but I really must beg to differ with your opinion. As fine a voice that he has he will never be in the same class as Pavarotti, I'm not knocking Paul Potts just merely stating what is obvious to many who enjoy classical music.

    A fine voice that people love,,and I enjoy his music but no comparison whatsoever to the late Pavarotti.

  • @jeanmunn Sorry I have to differ with your opinion also, and yes you are knocking PaulPotts and not stating the obvious. This is not a good version of Pauls voice, tired and he did come on and say there was technical issues with the acoustics.

    2 years after here Paul Potts was recorded with a member of audience in one of his concerts, search

    Paul Potts in Jeon Ju S.Korea Nessun Dorma

    and some later. that is as good as it gets.

    Many great videos of Pauls have been blocked and they keep this

  • @thornbirds26 Well I respect your opinion, but from a technical point of view Paul Potts is not even close to being a great tenor like Pavarotti,,,and I do mean not even close.

  • @jeanmunn Paul Potts is now technically very good, not on here though. Paul is a great tenor, seen him in concert, is he as good now as Pavarotti, I think so. I expect Pavarotti was along way of his best to start with. Paul it is written has done 500 concerts worldwide, that is proof of big talent. Why have you chosen this video,? I expect because it gives you more room to detract from him. Your opinionS are not the opinions of most who have heard Paul live, even the opera critics now quieter.

  • @auntyflorrieunclesam Okay,,,you are entitled to your opinion but I must honestly say that I would find something radically wrong with any music critic that would compare Paul Potts to Pavarotti in his prime,,,,utter nonsense.

    Again I will say Potts has a good voice but he has no chance in Hell of obtaining the part of Rodolfo and singing Che Gelida Manina at La Scala or anywhere else for that matter, he's not in the same league as the great tenors,,my opinion.

  • @jeanmunn T do opera pro. one usually has to study it for years, but do remember the crossover concerts and football matches, olympics is where Pavarott i recieved his biggest audiences. I can see you resent Paul Potts, but if you have not seen him perform live of late then you would not appreciate his talent. If you like Pavarotti the best then good for, but please as regards Pauls voice he deserves great respect and his voice is one of the most beautiful, my opinion.

  • @jeanmunn You are compare apples to oranges. Your point taken, I do believe that the man deserves some respect. We all know that Pavarotti is a legend, again there is no comparison. Be blessed.

  • @bxborijew agreed. no one can be equal to luciano pavarotti. i will admit this guy is GOOD,, would have been sweet if pavarotti was still amongst us so he could listen to this, and render his opinion

  • @yamahonkawazuki Sick of saying this but look up

    Paul Potts Jeon Ju Nessun Dorma recorded mobile by audience member.

    Oh and Pavarotti has heard Paul Potts sing. When Paul about 10yrs back began to sing amatuer he went to Italy and was selected to sing for Pavarotti in a 1 hr masterclass. Out of several singers Pavarotti singled out Paul to sing.

    As the comment below, why this video which Paul himself come on to say there was a technical fault. Look up Paul Potts Prague Granada 3yrs back

  • @usrob1 He's great... but there's only one Luciano Pavarotti

  • @usrob1 YOu may not like to hear that but there are different styles of music which are as difficult to play/sing as opera... Ok not to sing, but to play D

    ----> Technical Death Metal

  • @usrob1 Mr Potts lacks the strenght that Pava had. While he's talented I don't think we can compare him to Pava. Pava was one of a kind.

  • @cges76 Totally agree with you. His diction and delivery is very good, but there's a certain "omph" that's missing. Like at the end his voice slightly cracked. I'm thinking it's more of a mental thing, maybe his confidence needs a boost? Maybe another song could hint at his ability to carry more weight or richer sound?

  • bravissimo! una delle volte che l'ho sentita cantare meglio in vita mia!!!!! in latino poi ha un fascino eccezionale!

  • bravissimo! una delle volte che l'ho sentita cantare meglio in vita mia!!!!!

  • wonderful i saw him first time in star king show korea so i sreachabout him

  • he's a great singer for sure. but this song sounds the best when it is sung by a woman. All the best Paul .

  • браво!!!

  • ma non si capisce un cazzo ...non sta parlando italiano!

  • @lilop456: Infatti sta cantando in Latino...E menomale che sei italiano e parli la lingua diretta erede del latino..hahahahahahaha...Scher­zo amico!!! Si vede che tra le varie versioni ha scelto quella latina perché neutra..

  • @jienne anse81 in italia nessuno parla più il latino...lo studiano solo a scuola.....ma nessuno lo parla più da almeno 150 anni anche di più :) quest'uomo che canta ...mi fa un po ridere per l'accento...non ho mai sentito un americano che canta italiano....però è molto bravo a cantare

  • @lilop456: Almeno 150 anni?! Magari!! il Latino è morto intorno al 1200 sostituito dalle parlate locali, da noi per esempio dall'italiano. Il latino è poi rimasto come lingua ufficiale di atti di stato fino al 1800 ma era solo per forma perché nessuno lo parlava e lo capiva, come oggi d'altronde..hihihi..Se pensi che poi è ancora la lingia ufficiale di Città del Vaticano..hihihi..Potts credo sia Inglese visto che è uscito dal programma: "British got talent"

  • @jiennense81 eh già ....alcuni dicono che però l'italiano....a differenza del latino è ancora più difficile parlarlo e scriverlo...nessuno e dico nessuno è in grado di farlo perfetto...ha un sacco di verbi e congiuntivi.....forse solo dante ai suoi tempi era in grado di farlo....dato che lui ha inventato l'italiano che parliamo tutti adesso....comunque l'inglese è una bella lingua :D però io parlo poco di inglese

  • I saw Pavarotti live and Paul is as good or better. This is my all time favorite song, whether sung or instumental.

  • hitman: Blood money <3

  • @thePasQo9 ya :) nice game :P

  • @thePasQo9

    Fuckyea :D

  • @thePasQo9 right:D:)

    

  • @thePasQo9 everytime i hear this in church thats what i think.... god hates me

  • Comment removed

  • being a 19 year old American I dont ever get to wittiness or hear music this spectacular in the states, especially on a talent show. This man might think he was givin a gift to make his life better when in reality he was the gift to all of us. his voice is phenomenal especially if he had no formal training then that is just something very amazing to see. from across the pond I give Britain my thanks for showing me what real talent looks like.

  • The spirit of the man brings forth the spirit of the song. RIP Pavorotti, good luck to you Mr. Potts. Your voices are a blessing to everyone.

  • how can ppl dislike this?????????????????! >:o

  • @assanderyeah What are you talking about? He has a brilliant voice.

  • @HakAndFly

    listen to pavarotti, then you will know what a brilliant voice is.

  • @assanderyeah Listen to

    Paul Potts in Jeon Ju S. Korea Nessun Dorma

    Then you will also know what a good voice is.

    Most heard Pavarotti, world cup venue was shown worldwide audiences everywhere, that was at his peak after years of being a pro.

  • @assanderyeah yes, Pavarotti is brilliant. So is Paul Potts... both have an outstanding talent that we can all enjoy, a gift that can take us to a place of happiness. I hope your comment isn't a prelude to an insult to Potts. That is unworthy of anyone: you don't need to disparage him to feel better about yourself.

  • I think with much more practice and lessons he will be amazing.

  • ...they wrecked it with this version. 

  • He isn't actually all that good.

  • @MrJamesey1000 No. Paul Potts is sensational.

    I tweeted below that Paul said there was technical problems here.

    Also below listen to one of the best versions of Nessun Dorma out there,

    Paul Potts in Jeon Ju S. Korea Nessun Dorma.

    Because there are going on 2 million people who have seen Paul Potts live you are going to get most who will defend him against any one who comes on to say as you.

  • @thornbirds26 If you compare him to Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti or many more stars of the opera, Paul Potts is not sensational at all. Watch 4:20 to 4:26 for example. His voice splutters at 4:23 and then completely dies at 4:25. He is not absolutely catastrophic, but most of his success can be traced back to his marketable life story.

  • @tjhghghjh You critics always go for the least.

    I know Paul here was tired and he did say there was technical problems.

    Again I say look up

    Paul Potts in Jeon Ju. S.Korea singing Nessun Dorma.

    Yes when I heard him sing arias he was seansational, not saying he is better than Pavarotti who was professional for over 40yrs, but Pauls voice is stronger than Bocellis.

    Please do look up as above, also his latest Nessun Dorma in S. Korea, his version of

    La Prima Volta on BGT semi + oberhausen.

  • Mr. Potts needs to slow down the tempo. He needs to get himself a good producer for this song and listen to him.

  • when he sings ma body too sings

  • nice

  • Csodálatos!

  • I hate many things but fat, ugly suckers who pretend to be opera singers beat everything else.

  • @Allzumenschliches44

    he dont need to pretend a guy with his voice broke aint going sing this good unless pavorotti but listen to his nessun dorma u fool and if u want to talk about wrecking songs listen to beyonce ave maria thats the worst ever made

  • @Allzumenschliches44 He isn't pretending, you stupid, ignorant piece of shit. He is an opera singer, and a great one to be exact. So take your shitty life and end it, for the sake of all mankind. Thank you.

  • @Allzumenschliches44 "but fat, ugly suckers who pretend to be opera singers" What the fuck is wrong with you? I am not an opera expert, which you are apparently, and even though he was discovered on a talent show doesn't make him a worse singer. Now, I have more important things to do with my time than arguing with a fat no-lifer, trolling on the youtubes, which interests are beautiful and fit opera singers, not discovered on a talent show. Good bye.

  • @Allzumenschliches44 You should hear Paul Potts sing

    Paul Potts in Jeon Ju S.Korea Nessun Dorma, 2nd to none.

    Paul himself said there were technical problems here, why they show this and such brilliant works are out there of his God knows.

    Pauls has done very good versions of this, tired and out of sorts here.

  • I think Paul Pott has a exceptional voice, but the intonation at this AVE MARIA is so bad (always too deep), that I can enjoy.Also he is always late to enter the phrase.It's apity.The piece is so beautiful and perfect.

    Orchestra is playing very,very well.

  • hear to Luciano Pavarotti, its the definition of Ave Maria

  • 249 guy get send to hell ;)

  • Es una broma?
