[justtwoguys13]

I actually got up and got myself a blanket because of my chills 

[MerveYoungki]

He looks like he came alive when he sang, and then back to the kind of shy and bored look. When he sang he didn't look shy at all.

[NotSoPrinceCharming]

Did Simon say that was absolutely fantastic? O.o

[0deer7]

LOVE all the judges huge grins at the end. so awesome. it's these moments that make those shows worthwhile...

[udibgui]

I saw this video first in 2007. 4 years later, it still give me the chills!

[TheBeda94]

I like him more than susan boyle because he's still a bit shy :)

[CharKathh13]

[mistytinker13]

Their faces when he says "I'm here to sing opera", they looked so disbelieveing in him, thank god he proved them wrong, people are very judgemental even when we try not to be

[NGGillen]

@scrotaye fragile and cute? you obviously haven't seen her sex tape...

[April6625]

at 1:43 it looks like amanda got bo-tox on her eye-brown

[Bonesey451]

Everyone who thought that he would be no good (including the judges) must have had a major guilt trip after he sung

[April6625]

susan boyle all over again :L

[Lots0fLollies]

[oparat]

BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Bovro]

She definitely came at 1:57

[kjjgaj]

I love it when Simon does that 'double take' when he realises he's got real talent in front of him and it's taken him and everyone else by surprise! Great job Paul!

[awrangerfan24]

Wow. Is American Idol just where all the losers who can't sing come to? I gotta start watching this show more.

[MegaJaunty]

[robin96a]

I don't give a fuck how "INCREDIBLY" difficult opera is. BECAUSE IT SUCKS

[efukuhara3]

He made me cry...amazing voice!

[dkxax0]

When i first saw this in the tv, my mom was crying, cause he sings that good and touch the feelings. then i was very close to cry.. - BRILLIANT SINGER!

[LessThanThree210]

This is amasing.. Absolutly spine tingling.. Where's Paul now??

[kozakhanda]

@LessThanThree210 works at fones4u now

[cambonious23]

I don't like opera, but that was amazing.

[apple010100]

[ladyinred868]

He's so magical!! xD

[EpicHeros]

This... is why i hate justin bieber

[PurrfectPeach]

@EpicHeros You know what I hate a lot more than Justin Bieber? People who can't STFU about Justin Bieber.

[milalok036]

no entiendo porque ponen esa cara, acaso al ver una persona puedes saber su voz o su forma de cantar?

[chuzito]

@milalok036 asi somos los humanos ;) get use to it

[Mastergenius00]

first ever and best auditions uncle opera

[mrsrichhood]

I still cry every time I watch this, it is so moving...absolutely fantastic...again, and again, and again! Thank you, Paul.

[guinnesswiggles22]

I like Paul Pots but I loved the little girl to bad she lost bgt she was amazing I want to be on. American idol when I'm 16

[00001111henry]

Susan Boyle first CD album sold in 20099 millions only one month

[pimnas]

it has a touch screeeeeeen, unlimited internet connectioooooooooon and lots of aaaaaapppppppppsssssssssssssss­ssssssssss!!!

[Marlena38]

I cry everytime I see that and its now Jan. 15th 2011!!

[cae202]

I would fuck the shit out of amanda

[JelmerFCG]

Amanda is hot.

[prokentsful]

That brought tears to my eyes and I am a man.

Amazing!

[mdmann]

@prokentsful Same here. Every single time I watch it. And I absolutely love seeing the effect it has on Amanda. You can just see her melt. It's incredible to me how music can do that, how one person can have that kind of effect on another. I really feel sorry for the people who can't appreciate how special this moment was. It's not a matter of them just not liking opera...I honestly think such people just don't have much of a heart or soul to not be deeply touched by this on some level.

[prokentsful]

@mdmann I don't even like opera, I just love how everyone is blown away by the natural skill that he contains.

I'm so happy that he won, even though the young girl was cute and very, very good for her age. Paul Pott's deserved to win because of how low his self asteem was, the win would have boosted the image he has of himself. =D

[DraxZombie]

Chills every fucking time.

[MrTONYTONYM]

Absolutely magnificent

[hollandiam1]

@cowofdeath777 pavarotti is a trained operata singer this guy however was a mobile phone salesmen.....

[shabdaryani]

pls change ur name pol pot

[mdmann]

@shabdaryani The fact that you hear "Pol Pot" in "Paul Potts" says an awful lot about you. The juxtaposition of such atrocities onto something as beautiful as this can only be the product of a seriously demented and depraved mind. I guess we should all thank you for reminding us how utterly effed up a world we live in, but I don't appreciate it. I am sure you will swear up and down that you are really a decent person, but you definitely aren't showing such here. Your humor attempt is pathetic.

[therealsmashbrother]

I think he is better than Neil E. Boyd.

[matlarrantz]

allready 3 years! omg :D

- He is soooo good :)

[SuperLinneke]

fantastic!

[cowofdeath777]

Pavarotti is infinitely better.

[nonabliss]

What is that song and is it from some opera?

[kpk565]

@nonabliss nessun dorma

[thecr8tor]

@nonabliss It is Nessun Dorma from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot

[Sandrock3198]

i loved how he sucker punched both pierce and simon with potts talent

[iiRatedRKOii]

WHERE IS HE NOW ANYONE?

[leah1597]

@iiRatedRKOii shut up skunkbag.

[oOoRandomnessoOo]

When paul started singing, simon was like "WHHHAAAATTT"

[superdan1875]

this will be one of the greatest tv moments of all time

[rollingbeatle7]

89 people wish they were as amazing as him

[pietercoco]

the one,

the oneley,

the suprise.

[Atlantis714]

he looks like he's going to cry the entire time, I almost did myself haha

[zeeky33]

Love Amanda's responces... She's a fan of the West End and she just really knows what appreciation of a gifted voice is all about...

[zeeky33]

Someone else posted that, that is his sister on the audience isolation... If true, she had to have loved this validation (tho' of the obvious)....

[troublesomeog]

i like

[blizzaria]

You can see in the poor guy's eyes he's happy.. his dream really came true.. it's touching.. ^^

[Toommaas94]

0:23

Fuck You!

[Kotori32]

@Toommaas94 1:57

She came!

[jemabri]

every time i seen this video can not avoid tears, i wish on next live can sing like this man.

[Sharpster441]

Those who voted dislike got no talent and can go F*** them selfs

[TonyFolasky]

kill me kll me kll me!!!!!!!

[LAZIO1989LAZIO]

88 people who disliked this are idiots

[dffXPac]

I just love the reaction of the girl judge while he's singing (she's also beautiful btw)

[blackdragon1313]

YEAH Simon. Suck it. =]

[AmericanHoney21]

this video gave me the chills so bad I have to shave my legs again

[DariiWelshy]

I knew as soon as he came on stage that he was going to be good. Let's be honest, he is Welsh :) 

[guenice]

hahah!!simon's face..and he was bitig the ballpen..hahah!!^____________^­love it!!amanda's too..

[AlleistraCrowley]

His Voice allways make me cry... It's so... stunning!

[areposo]

2:10 did simon cowell just whistle

[TheMototron]

I hate Britans got tallent, but this guy is fucking awseom.

[milway30]

thats talent for life

[TheWWExpert]

Never, ever judge a book by its cover.

[jlgpaintball333]

@TheWWExpert but this cover is fucked up

[snobbenswe]

@TheWWExpert Tell that to Simon

[Bayito]

I love the fact that the judges have that face at the beginning... I don't watch this show but I can assume they go through COUNTLESS horrible and medicore auditions almost daily... to see their faces brighten up like that in the face of true talent...

[MrMadMaxTheKiller]

87 People work at Carphone Warehouse

[PrettyBonesArt]

I love it when Cowell gets his ass handed to him like that.

[Distancian]

Why is this video called 1st Audition? Did he had a second one xD come on people were not dumb

[Chocoholic679]

The 87 people who clicked dislike know NOTHING about opera, and how INCREDIBLY difficult it is.

[78kokka]

@Chocoholic679 That's right, man. Not to mention the fact that he is not Italian, but sings a perfect Italian. And this is difficult. too.

[dmw613]

@Chocoholic679 or.... they don't like opera?

[elsiiii92]

@Chocoholic679

no that´s not the problem

i don´t know anything about opera

and i can say that everytime i watch this video i have chills and I appreciate it

so I think that maybe the problem is that 93 people don´t know anything about music

:)

[man1192803]

I really like opera. If u do too, and know nothing about it, check out Miserere from Allegri. And also, Voyage to Avalon from the movie, Avalon. This shit gives me goosebumps, even though I always listen to underground Wu tang shit.

[john1136]

I don't understand what he sang but it's so beautiful nearly brought a tear in my eye

[hahavimse]

And he fucking sang opera !!!!!!!!!! :D i got goosebumps watching this the first time, and i still do today

[nopshere]

what i love is he's so humble. even at the finals. his face looked like he still couldn't believe it. and especially when he won :D 

[pyromancypictures]

He is a talented opera singer; Susan is also an amazing singer. Why does anyone have to put down Susan to give Paul kudos? They are both so awesome!!!! 

[chesney121]

Lol why bother to click Dislike ffs?

You can't NOT like this. You either love or like, there's no dislike...

[Nicoal1256]

@chesney121 ? You cant not like this..... you can either love or like haha 

[leetyson2]

fucking amazing (brings a tear to youre eye)

[leetyson2]

fucking amazing

[michalbalco]

I know I am repeating almost everybody here, but I gotta say this performance was astonishing. You know, there is a show "Czecho Slovakia's Got Talent" running at the moment in our country and we got someone similar here, it was just outstanding audition, worth of winning this competition.

[Rechiau]

87 dislikes. 87 jealous people.

[PrincessZelda527]

This proves that you should never judge a book by it's cover.

[Simplyserene101]

Simon is like "What in the world, am I getting punk'd?" GO PAUL POTTS!

[LornaLurvsAdam]

Nessun Dorma is the name.

Everytime I watch this, I still get chils.

[pedrov949]

wats name of song

[PanicClawz]

yeah lol narutite

[Gruntlify]

Cool to see there now is exactly the same kind of person in Holland Got Talent. Sings the same song, and nobody really believed in aswell. The judges were like''Ok, go ahead and sing your song'', but when he started to sing you could see they were like ''what is thiss??, this isnt possible!'' :)

[TiphanieHuscott]

GO PAUL POTTS DOMINATE THE WORLD WITH YOUR TALENT ^0^

[reneinehv]

thank god to prejudgement

[sabtlc]

Then whilst randomly surfing the InTeRnEt...I discover brilliance. Most humbling. xxx paul Pott

[marianaastorne]

UNBELIEVEABLE. .

[iqbalzerro]

holy.....its nice the stories of his life is cool too

[lawrencetancgg]

He is an inspiration for all of us. He wasn't affected by what the judge had to think about him. He just pursue his dream

[cshe1218]

this is so great!!! Brought a tear to my eye when i first saw this

[j2cc4]

Yeah he won

[rusakparah]

This is a GOD's joke, to put an angel voice in the ordinary face

[mitchisawesome814]

I think Amanda needs new pants.

[cowfordflorida1]

did he end up winning this?

[feetlover18]

he sings it better then the original one damn

[GLENNOS010]

listen to Martin Hurkens at Holland got tallent the DUTCH Paul Potts!!!

[mastatdogg1986]

Look for martin hurkens in holland got talent 2010

[Mark096]

You see the judges watching before he starts to sing, again a guy who thinks who can sing opera

[spike4561]

look at the judge's faces

so epic lol

[EnglishLaaayDeee]

@postmanpat6

Perhaps not the best, but certainly a close draw between him and Subo. They are both amazing singers, and amazing inspirational people come to think of it! 

[Patate7Frite]

or course he lacks self-confidence! How can you be happy with yourself when you have a not cool job while having a sooo great talent?

GO WITH YOU DREAM MAN!

LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE!

[MultiCyyber]

Thumbs up if you get happy whatching people with bad self esteem grow into a star :)

[JoeFisher12String]

i just LOVE it when a regular street guy lays one up in the face of an elitist bunch of pukes!! go paul!

[MisterRenz007]

@thomaswesthoefer

I like connie but the only reason people like her is shes a little cute kid and her voice is good but

If compare her to paul, paul is 10x better a lot of people can sing as good as connie but only few can sing opera like paul.

[ColdplayBest1]

This guy is great!! but piers in an arse

[Jammers1982]

He is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!

[thomaswesthoefer]

no doubt his voice is amazing but connie is better.

[bugisami]

@thomaswesthoefer God help us, it COULD have been little Connie; bookmakers had her even with Potts. But the best act ever to on appear on BGT won. Paul is a world-class tenor. Little Connie was just a cute 6-year old with a cute voice singing cute songs, who is now a slightly less cute 9-year old, etc.

[bugisami]

Piers wears a white shirt at 0:19, a blue shirt at 0:25, and a white shirt thereafter.

[postmanpat6]

3 years on and its still an incredible performance.

So glad he has done so well for himself.

For me he is still the best singer to have been discovered on BGT

[Denniscss]

the woman got a climax at the climax
