@nejacne68 He sang it for himself. If you've had a down-trodden life, lacked self-confidence and had a particular gift that few people knew about (he never sang in front of his co-workers), this is the perfect platform. Hit or miss, it would define his life forever. It was a hit...
The song, "You Raise Me Up," was written by Rolf Lovland from Norway (originally as an instrumental piece), and the lyrics are by Brendan Graham from Ireland...It's based on a traditional Irish tune, and it's been recorded over 125 times...
Very eye opening! I hadn't realized what an intense story this was for not only Paul Potts, but for the entire BGT production as well. Brilliant editing work.
I still am amazed the way Paul Potts thanks the audience and the jury for sharing his music. That little bend when he leaves the stage...that says it all. That smile of gratitude and joy...it's real!
say what u want to say, but I never have heard of anyone walking off the street singing opera that well...ever. Everyone wants to bring up Paverotti, which is like comparing Babe Ruth to someone who is good enough to be a professional baseball player..and furthermore, lets see Paul in 15yrs of seasoning and see how much he progresses.

what makes him the best at it
is that he was singing for his audience not for the judges.
he want it a chance to let that musical force to be release from his chest to the world of reality.

At 4:30, it sounded like Paul was singing "You Raise Me Up", but in a different language. Anyone know what language it is? Thanks!

You have a point, but consider this:
- there is something as a good hearing (which I think is most important as a musician) which Paul obviously has
- there is actually something as being a autodidact
- he is member of a church choir
- he did invest in his singing by going to a pavarotti masterclass
- he takes music serious and put effort in it, aka hard working
So he was in his way "educated"
