Nessun Dorma - Paul Potts & The 3 Tenors improved remix

[hammer55292]

I like Potts, but goddamnit he would get vaporized by these big guns. I like Pavarotti the best, but Placido was named the Greatest Tenor of All Time, by the BBC.

[snake71270]

muy bueno pero para mi gusto los tres tenores son mejores que Paul Potts

[samsonrock777]

To those who say that Paul Potts "is not a real opera singer": the public's opinion is what counts, for any artist. If the public loves you, you will be successful. The opinion of the 'experts' doesn't count much!

[khanhvinhct]

All he needs is just time! He'll be second Luciano soon!

[2Cats100]

I LOVE being a Paul Potts fanatic!!!!!!

[HYP3RK1NECT]

2:50 vincerò! 4 ever (-;

[BioFamilie]

Dear Paul Potts Fanatics, You are not entitled to have a respectable opinion unless you have at least attempted to keep up with the opera scene. Just because he's an underdog doesn't mean he get to steal the spotlight from those that deserve it. it takes minimum 10-15 years of HARD ASS WORK just to get anywhere. he has had none of that. not in a million years would he be able to keep up with professionals.

[kb2yk1]

good goooooood  very gooooooooooooooooooooooooood

[oscarmcmc]

Placido Dominguez is the best out of the four by miles!

[silko23]

potts is the best

[ddivaanngel]

loveeeeeeeeeee thos............



[basisneta]

paul definetely got amazing talent thats why he won the show...

[Nicrossmen]

Seriuosly.... so... Who fucking is Paul Potts? YOU CAN'T put togheter that incompetente with Pavarotti!!!!!! Is like ILLEGAL!!!!

My God.... Anglo-Americans.... People without art!!!!

[shaunho95]

The 3 tenors are awesome.. It's a pity Pavarotti passed on already, otherwise I would love to see Potts with the 3 Tenors..

[chelsea3633]

Too much potts, not enough pavarotti :) I think in another life, I was meant to marry Luciano.

[chelsea3633]

Too much potts, not enough pavarotti :)

[RickM1953]

BRAVO!!!!!

[Seabizzle19]

This video is a clear indication of how bad Paul Potts is, he really shouldn't even be compared to these three

[lucius215]

blasfemy

[woajiaorobert]

I like Paul but by God Pavarotti and the others are just beyond this world...thanks for making the comparison so tangible, I've always wondered.

[ashfaque63]

Paul's voice is not bad, but pronunciation is way off. Please do not compare him to the three tenors. Paul is still an ocean away form reaching the dizzying heights of the Three tenors.

[ulquischiffer94]

muy chido

[Arya2611]

wow I really like this video, thanks

[laughzilla]

Cheers! :)

[jonathanfz]

wow man congratulations you're good, THANK YOU

[laughzilla]

thank you :) glad you enjoyed it.

[ApolenaRamius]

Thank you laughzilla! Very nice work!!My best compliment.

I am just laughing at comments: Paul Potts is better singer than Pavarotti etc.! His technics ís bad and he has not right voice for opera.I like him but I am not from GB and am not too crazy say that he is the best living tenor (=

By the way it´s true that he was trained - without question.

(Also I am not from Italy)

[laughzilla]

Thank you, Merci, Danke, AplolenaRamius :)

[Occhublu1234]

You can't mash up Godly with a shit-pile..

[upatoia]

If you already like "THE 4 TENORS" ( lol ) check now THE 30 TENORS in my playlist SUPER TENOR ARIAS ( including CLAUDIO SOTELO performing ARIA DEL CIRUJANO as a world première for YOU TUBE ) !

[kakaujp]

,everyone whos criticizes him are totally right...i agree with this peoples,they really know what they talking about...they have the trainning,the technical,the voice ...wait a minute...what are you people doing here???you guys must recording something...yeahhh becouse if he can do you can do to....right???PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE­E

[nimayegan]

im sorry but ur edit killed the whole thing

[GreatFeelGoodMusic]

yh thats wat i thought, i mean the clips dont even go smoothly together

[frankenleg]

beautifuuly done, and a hearty thank you for this fine work on my favorite song. bravo to you.

[JokinJoe]

Here's my take on this.

Paul Potts may not be on the same technical level as the others, but what truly matters at the end of the day is people were touched and enjoyed it. Music is about expressing yourself to others, and criticizing him for going up on stage and singing his heart out shows how nasty and jealous some people can be. Let Paul

enjoy himself, he isn't harming you in any way. Personally, I know that Paul isn't a pro,

but I still feel an emotional energy when he's on stage.

[laughzilla]

Amen to that, JokinJoe :D

[whitetiger843]

Well, for someone who has had no professional training whatsoever, he sure sounded pretty damn good to me. I do not particularly like opera, but I can appreciate it none the less. But when someone can sing like Paul Potts did and has never had any kind of professional training and give me goose bumps every time I watch it (about 100 times now!) I think there's something to be said for the guy!

[Schrein87]

Also, his singing isn't that way because he's waiting to reach his peak. Male vocalists normally get their full, mature voice between the ages of 25 and 29. Pott's is already far past that stage. Additionally, his performance is pitchy, his high notes strained, and his posture lacks any command of the stage. The man has an incredible story, just not an incredible voice. Sorry....

[js59695]

uhm...the male baritone reaches a nice maturity around 25 to 29 a tenor may not mature anywhere between 34 to 40...seriously you guys have no freakin idea. Thats why people get on here and hammer potts because people who have no idea about what it takes to sing opera get on here and praise 3rd rate singing..Potts could be a good singer with about 10 more years of the Italian vercai method...btw way not calling u an idiot but you guys really need to study before writing info

[Schrein87]

Well as a matter of fact,

I'm a 21 year-old, lyric tenor, preparing my second principal opera role, and one year away from completing my Bachelor's in Vocal Performance, so I know tenor voices.. Also, any good vocal pedagogue will tell you that the voice continually matures as the singer get's older, but most tenors typically have the bulk of their adult voice by 26-28 years of age. Oh yeah, and it's Vaccai not Vercai. The vocal exercise methods being named after Nicola Vaccai, who created them.

[js59695]

btw as for being 29 and knowing that my voice is completely different from the age of 26. In fact every year my voice has changed dramatically from age 28 to 29. If my voice at 26 was like it is now...that would be impressive...

[js59695]

your wrong...and when you get a little older you will understand why...

[blotchydave]

LOL it's mad how many proles from the UK think they like opera since someone from Saturday evening telly got involved... :D

[grayninja62]

Ahahahaha, that was hilarious editing.

[50ukr]

its a good video. FMPRex is right, you can tell the 3 tenors had a deeper sound

[kowloon12]

I totally agree..

one can listen at Pott and enjoy him if he wants to, but please do not compare him to someone who plays a totally different kind of game.

maybe compare him to Michael Bolton or some1 similar.. but not to a professional opera singer. not fair.

[trivou]

hahaha paul potts sucks! how do you even compare with pavarotti carreras and domingo?!

[Kirkland1534]

Good grief. To argue that a person must demonstrate their ability at a particular skill before they can critique someone else is completely ridiculous. You don't need to be a world-class opera singer to appreciate whether someone's good or not. PP is reasonable but can't hold a candle to Pavarotti/Carreras/Domingo. He wants to be a professional opera singer so should be judged against the best.

[FMPRex]

Potts has a more "angelic" type of voice, it doesnt "gut" down like the others, having said that, he has had nowhere the experience of the others and is probaly 10 years away from peaking. Also, if you have a listen to the videos, it is quiet clear that there is far more base in the 3 tenors recording (compare the music and back up singers), so although it may be fair to say that the three tenors have better operatic voices, it is also fair to say that it is a lop sided comparision.

cheers

[laughzilla]

good observations, FMPRex :)

[qw1234erty]

Firstly I agree that the "if you can do better, please let's see & hear your version" arguement is utterly ridiculous. Secondly by holding concerts and selling CDs Potts has put himself in the profesional arena, an arena which this video clearly shows he doesn't belong in.

[laughzilla]

oh sure, you think it's unfair to tell you that you should show better talents if you just criticize someone else's efforts. well guess what? life's not fair, buddy, and that's great news for those of us who are talented, and who laugh at all you fools who have nothing better to do than criticize those who have the guts to put their balls on the line and show the world what they do as well as they can.

[KusoGaki1986]

i love the idea of paul potts.. the ordinary guy who has had confidence issues.. then unlocking such powerful natural ability and unleashing it on his audiences.. u cant help but feel good for the guy..

After hearing the tenors.. I think they have stronger voices... but paul potts is still bloody brilliant and the idea of paul potts is just fantastic..

[laughzilla]

indeed! well said. :)

[Hopey68]

I think this was just a wonderful video! I really think the fabulous 3 tenors would have welcomed Paul Potts with open arms! Thank you for this video!

[Amasawa]

i don't think people should be commenting on this who's better than who issue, that's NOT the issue, of course there would be a difference in trained singers and untrained singers, and stop telling people "if you can do better, please let's see & hear your version", just because someone doesn't sing, doesn't mean they can't critique, it's a really unfair comment.

[gyta00]

well that's why i hate opera lovers, cause they are so annoying, the 3 tenors are well trained, paul it's a ordinary guy, who happened to sign opera better than everybody posting in this video, that's the whole point, that's why people are in love with this guy, cause hi is one of us, he isn't a huge opera mega-star, and his singing is from his heart, so bravo for paul, he bring back the opera to everybody

[DenisP908]

Sigh, I'll get flamed by the opera lovers for posting this.. I prefer Paul Potts. He puts more soul in the music. (ok, that was a pretty subjective comparison). How about this: the tenors sound very nasal.

[thetrulyGORDONEGRO]

@DenisP908 Man do you know what are you saying???the tenors sound very nasal??OMG

Do you know what is a nasal singing?

[BioFamilie]

@thetrulyGORDONEGRO apparently, you don't dumbass.

[rakkav]

@DenisP908 - I'll go down in flames with you, gladly. As a matter of personal preference, I like Paul Potts' lyric tenor to even the splendid operatic Three Tenors, even Pavarotti who introduced me to this incredible aria in the first place.

[BioFamilie]

3 tenor sound nasal? those are all dramatic tenors which, by definition, makes them sing more to the back of the throat. Paul is attempting, and failing at being a spunta lyrico, or pushed lyric tenor which by definition makes him sing more to the front of his face. take voice lessons and you'll understand, but until then the difference between Potts is that he only sings opera, the 3 tenors DO opera.they have been since they were young. just because you put soul into it doesnt mean it will work

[maury66]

i would like to see paul potts with other tenors, i would enjoy it very much! Paul potts is great.

[bt0001]

By the way, Paul Potts sings is not powerfull enough.

[laughzilla]

bt0001 ... not powerful enough? maybe, however, he was in tune, and did carry the song nicely. :) by the way if you can do better, please let's see & hear your version :)

[bt0001]

I just wanna say :Putting Paul Potts and three tenors together is absolutey inappropriate ,cause it will only let people feel that Paul is not trained enough to sing the opera.

[gyta00]

yeah totally agree, why don't you post a video inyour own version, and lets see if you can beat potts, totally agree with laughzilla

[bt0001]

Agree!They are incomparable.

[laughzilla]

bt0001, maybe you are incapable of comparing things that seem different. they are, however, quite comparable. :)

[RobNoles79]

Paul Potts sucks. He is not even close to the 3 tenors. Luciano would be turning in his grave if he heard that people were comparing him to a fat pommy.

[laughzilla]

sucks? you might not like him, but to say he sucks, well, that's just being rude, RobNoles79.

[trivou]

i agree with you! paul potts ih horrible!

[randomfool0815]

no way. you cant compare paul p. with the 3 tenors.

its just not fair. like me singing @ a caraoke bar claiming im a phil collins.

[laughzilla]

your lack of singing talent is not at issue here, randomfool0815 :)

[laughzilla]

To all of you who just have to whine and complain and spew nastyness, please, do it elsewhere. obviously i'm going to keep deleting the nasty (profane) comments, and i just don't see what dissing Mr. Potts in your comments does.

To everyone posting insightful comments of any kind: thanks! :) i never thought this mashup would raise such a fiesty debate. this is great. now i'm getting inspired to make more clips worth your viewing. :) :) :)

[laughzilla]

you know what, as someone who has sang on the same stage as all of the 3 Tenors, i can honestly say this: Even if he did do some opera here and there, it was by no means extensive, and given that, Paul Potts is not bad for a guy who spent most of his career selling car phones. I found his efforts rather inspired and clearly he reached the audience, even if you turn your nose up at such people. And this video mashup was just my way of recognizing that.

[mopjuntop]

Your voice must be different from the other singer so that you will shine! As long as you deliver the song well! And that's what Paul is!

[playitagainPILI]

What's... I can believe it! ... "he is not far of them"... he is fucking miles away.... and he will never catch any tenor... because of he is only a marketing product...

You are really crazy editing such a video...

you see.. you are showing him up!!

[angelodeluce]

paul needs more training but is still gd i find that each singer is different so its hard to compare any singer to another singer no matter what they sing. In one way paul has things that make his voice amazing just in the same way pavarotti has things about his voice that make it amzing. You can't reli compare the two cos there voices are different cos there different people.

[ArmandoXIII]

they both are signing the same opera aria, I have to agree theres no comparison though, Pavarotti is just light years ahead of Potts.

[cambsci]

He is not far from them with a bit of training he will catch up, certainly with Carreras

[kokoss33]

paul does good for what he has trained his voice but the 3 tenors are just amazing , they are a ferrari while paul is a renault...

[keepster1979]

is no one actually aware paul potts is a professional if u do a internet search ul find his name listed with tenors

[qw1234erty]

Then he deserves to be judged by their standards- and he's nowhere near them.

[daniel2526]

pots is nice in what he does ,but its ruther funny to put him next to giants .and it shows the tremendence difrents between real amazing tenors and an ametur that got lucky.

[boruk1]

Personally I think Paul Potts puts much more soul into it. I also like the more unrefined voice of Paul, the tenors voices are just well too "trained". Its good to have that kind of raw voice, it sends chills down my spine.

[barmanjoe]

Goodness, even Carreras' voice (which has been nonexistent since his sickness) sounds better to me when put next to Potts' lol

[Haristotel]

I agree.

In comparation with these three tenors, Potts's voice doesn't sound good at all.

[laughzilla]

come on ... "doesn't sound good at all" ?? please, let's see your version :)

[Haristotel]

I am not talking about my abbilities and I do not say that I can do it better from Potts, just I am saying that his voice is not so good as the people say it is.

And you can't compare him with the three tenors, because beneath them he "sucks".

Excuses for the used word :)

[laughzilla]

heheh :) for a guy who never had any formal training, he did very nicely, and this is a nice way of saying "good on ya."

[ArmandoXIII]

but its true, he just sounds really off, he sings on a much lower level, technique wise, soul wise, he projects little strenght.

[chrisinsocalif]

Paul pots hasn't had as much training or experience as the others. He is still great and can only get better. I think at some point he will be up in the 3 tenor caliber.

[ArmandoXIII]

I think death will get him long before that, hes million years behind true tenors.

[tiger1dk]

my good, when you hear this, it becomes even more incredible that anyone would listen to Paul Potts. He would be ok in an amateur group but why, oh why, listen to him when you can listen to real singers? In my ears, it does not make his singing more bearable that he - in many people's view - has a nice story to tell.

[laughzilla]

sometimes a nice story is enough, right tiger1dk? :)

[JackFlash19]

What are you talking about? Paul Potts has an amazing voice. and NATURAL at that. Zero formal training. And you can't say this his singing is 'unbearable'. Please. Ok in an amateur group? I'm curious, what is it that you do that gives you the right to critique an opera singer like that? Stop playing devils advocate and give in. You are one of those people who 'love to hate' what's actually good so you can look cool. Get a life

[JackFlash19]

you're still hatin on a good singer...

[MakeMeAChannel]

Regarding this video, simply stated:

Pavarotti is best.

While Domingo & Carreras strain,

Potts is pure.

Domingo & Carreras are probably overall better, more powerful with greater stylistic range - I'm guessing - but in this recording, Potts is the voice that measures up to the song.

[laughzilla]

MakeMeAChannel, that's a nice way of putting it. :) to my ears they all sang this song wonderfully.

[laughzilla]

nmoresleep - that's a comparison you choose to make. i would however say in his favor that for a total amateur, he did sing that piece rather well, don't you agree? if not, please, if you can sing, let's see you do one better. if you can't sing, i thank you for sparing us. :)

[footballdemocracy]

i so love placido domingo! he has the most honest emotions when singing!

[laughzilla]

they're all gifted tenors.

[footballdemocracy]

Paul Potts sounds like a "Diet Pavarotti".

[laughzilla]

and considering his publicly known background, it just goes to show if you have music in your soul, you can make it resonate very beautifully.

[ancestralyuba]

Interesting. For a ruddy amateur, I guess Potts is pretty good!

[laughzilla]

yes, he is.

[NoDice99]

yeah, this was bad. the transition btween the different singers was pretty bad.

u need to work on this...now.

[laughzilla]

theonlygriffo and NoDice99 : thank you for your honest comments! :)

always,

-- Laugh

[theonlygriffo]

What a complete load of shite - you daft prick.

Imagine a tennis doubles match between Borg, Sampras, Federer and a 1 legged, 1 armed spaz. This is exactly what you have created in singing terms.

[laughzilla]

thanks rossobyrojas :)

[rossobyrojas]

good job bro
