  • classic american...

  • alright iv seen ur vids, like all of them have more dislikes than likes, doesnt this tell you somthin???? stop makin vids asap or start makin some good vids, its people like you who destroy youtube, common you suck

  • lol

  • The opera is big in England as it represents our monarchy and our history, going to the opera used to be an upper class event, but not you don't see as much of historic pastimes such as going to jazz clubs and the opera.

    I go to the 'Proms' every year where they play classical music and singing, its really nice - relaxing, and everyone around you acts mature, no screaming because you like a song or dancing like an idiot.

  • lol nice video.loved the bit where u mentioned the beef tartar!

  • What hole did you crawl out of....... and please hurry back to it.

  • It's not about opera. It's about people and the human emotion that can be expressed in singing full force from the depth of the inner man. What do you do that could possibly make this talent insignificant?

  • i hope you don't consider what you just did opera. try singing a real opera song and post it!!! i'm curious to see what you can do if it's not such a big deal. I'll check back to see how you do. Since you're familiar with Le Nozze di Figaro, try that one. Shouldn't too hard eh? Good Luck!

  • its the sam ething with football y do americans get so excited about football, yea lets go be barbarians and hit people

  • Yo, dude, don't diss football. lol

  • its barbaric and all people do is hit each other not much skill is needed juts brute force

  • Just because you're some weak freak doesn't mean you have to hate the game. It's awesome and you're obviously not even close...

  • yea im real weak im sure ur you dont even paly football ur a little poser, try playing actual futebol adn then come tlak to me

  • You're ignorant.

  • go kill yourself

  • Oh yeah.....and you don't have any British friends silly.

  • Coming from someone who is studying cultures from all over the world and who has traveled to dozens of countries, you my friend, are what some may say narrow-minded. I am from America and I have always tried to understand why people like YOU speak the way they do. NO RESPECT!!! Get some! Anyways, you may find yourself one day in a situation similar to those "Rich People" or you MAY NOT. Get a bloody life you flippin wanker. Peace.

  • you=idiot

  • you jealous mofo... look at me, i made a video responce, please, give me attention, cause i'm not that talented, i'm just a big time loser, please, i want attention.

    Well dude, you're just a jealous attention whore. Boohoo for you

  • It is not the point that he sang opera that is a well loved and known song which is why everyone loved it...he is a great singer which is why everyone was so crazy about it... that song i love and im not old an di hate classic music...every other place around the world like europe and australia are big on the opera and yea the usa isnt and everyone thinks teh usa is everything but its not...lots of people like the opera so just get over youself and respect toehrs cultures and stuff...

    grow up

  • You think the USA isn't big on opera? What is up with the Metropolitan Opera then?! If that isn't serious about opera then I don't know what is.

  • You think the USA isn't big on opera? What is up with the Metropolitan Opera then?! If that isn't serious about opera then I don't know what is.

  • OI fuckwitt its the french who eat snails.

  • He is not American. More like fucking Albanian or something similar. Jealous bitch!

  • american people like u r fuckin shit..never respect other people interest, culture etc., go to hell u stupid american

  • tarjo, i'm american and i agree with you. Don't diss us all, I thought he was a numnutz too! I thought paul potts voice was beautiful.

  • Ha Ha Good point my friend!

    Bless

  • tall jim is N Y B

    Rage was here!!!

  • I really dont care for the opera but thats my taste, if others like it so be it, why the fuck do you care dont you have anything better to do in your life if you can call it that ... why dont you go stick your head in the microwave... do us all a favour... yet another arrogant American... Thank God Im Canadian ...

  • You are without a doubt the stupidest person I have ever seen on the internet. This Paul Potts has a talent that is God given and something you will never have nor even be able to acquire with money or effort. Pauls singing gives most of the world a sense of well being with his voice. You on the other hand give us gas!!

  • I'm not too fond of Opera or Opera singers for that matter, I do like some orchestral music and classical though, but that's besides the point. Point is, Paul did a good job, everyone should understand that by now, the guy even says it in the description. So what's the big deal, the guy's obviously just poking fun, lighten up

  • damn this is another reason why americans will never be respected

  • Go listen to your rap, before the big NASCAR race.

  • lmao ufos.. hahahha... as for the guy who made this video.. he is a fuckin red neck idiot

  • You either want a lot of feedback or are truely a heartless, souless droid trained by those around you to suppress your emotions "CAUSE THEY AIN'T MANLY". Don't worry about the Borg, you have been assimilated.

  • On behalf of Americans, I apologize for this buffoon.

    That is all.

  • you clearly have an unforfilled and sad life

  • U ask the British ppl Y are we making such a big deal? Then why the fuck are you making such a big deal about it? has it really hurt you so much to see a man fill millions of people with happiness?Now i ask you this, why the fuck do you care??

  • I make no comment about the rounders that Americans play because I don't understand why a kids game is so revered by them over there.......This is why it is customery to comment on things you KNOW and belt up about things that go right over your head....get it?

  • It isn't only rich people that go to the opera, if they were the only ones that enjoyed the music why has there been a world response to the Potts' performance?

    U ask why do people make such a big deal about opera? Opera is classical music. Classical music influenced al types of wstern music we hear on radio, without it, we wouldnt see much of the repetitive shit that you are prob in2.

  • If you opened your mind before your mouth you would not have to ask such a stupid question.

  • This guy is a definite WANKER !!

  • You're still the biggest prick in the world.

  • for the first 5 sec i thought you were gonna rap XD

  • What a prickless mindless ignorant wrinkled old f***.

  • pathetic old man

  • you're a jerk. u dont have a talent like paul potts. i dont like opera. in fact i hate opera before i watch paul potts' performance in britain's got talent here in youtube. paul potts' CD is the only opera CD i will have and listen to!!! Paul Potts is sooo pure and sincere. when he sings, you can see his soul through his eyes! Such a nice guy. and those people that bullied him when he was a kid, shame to you!

  • What it's all about is some people have talent; other pathetic losers like yourself just whine. Crawl back into your cave and stuff this video where the sun don't shine!

  • U r fucking 60 years old just sit in your polace and be happy for people like paul potts! fucking dumb ass motherfucker !!!!!!!!! OLD SHIT

  • AAAAAAHAHHAHAHA, can u believe this guy? you cant even comprehend the significance of paul's voice. your 65, do something with your life.

  • shot the fuck up stupid fucking american, go fuck your self.

  • Just hear your voice trying to Sing Opera, thats the point.

  • OH you're too cool!!! I'd like to see you sing... I'd tell you to grow up but you're like some 50 year old making films in his moms basement! Why don't you post yourself doing something that involves talent!

  • WHAT A NOOB !!!

  • It's NOT just about the opera... it's about his performance, about his voice. How many times did you hear a non-professional voice like that? Like.. NEVER?

    Those "Figaro" bullshit that came out from your throat was really annoying and yes: you can't fake a good voice just by pretending you sing the opera. Look for "bel canto" at Wikipedia, you f|_|cking ignorant!

  • If you like paul potts check his site out

    paulpottsofficial dot com

  • shut the fuck up bitch! old ass bitch

  • sory but if you wa my dad i would be REEALLLLLY embarrased!

  • Opera is something that not people rich in money can understand, but people rich in heart and soul. You obviously do not have that kind of treasure and that is why you cannot understand.

  • Twat

  • I think you love yourself too much.

  • Haha, I like the last sentence

  • get real, asshole...you are a poor, sad, stupid and really jealous man

  • asshole o.o

    paul potts is a great singer and you ...

    you are just a pile of crap =)

    if you dont understand italian you are never going to understant ANY opera jackass Oo

  • You are so charmed with yourself and you bore me to tears. There is a reason that songs have been around for hundreds of years--the list can go on. Uneducated and narrow minded people never cease to amaze me. They just spout off at the mouth and don't know now to edit themselves. Vacant and dressed with a doorag. I will remember to not go to you for advice.

  • That answer is someting you WILL NEVER going to find!

  • You have no British friends. Why does a "man" your age wear a do rag? That tells me a lot about you before you post your ignorant comments. You are a waste.

  • I believe that everyone has a talent and this guy really does have something special. What's yours??

  • dude, i hate fucking opera. But he was good.

    "Whys opera so big?"

    Because twats like u are a minority. k?

  • Well, first, you guys have to understand that, if Paul Potts is an opera singer, Woody Allen is an olympic weight-lifter.

    Please don't judge opera by this excruciatingly painful, um, "performance".

  • Stupid

  • Eh. Ur 30years old and educated to a 18 year old or sumthing? I usually dont listen to opera but when i do i get cought up in the moment. Touches me. And the only way to show talent from the voice is from opera. I would like to hear from you and explain me what music you think should be the number one ppl are listening to.

  • Hmmmmm Judging from your video, you've made it through the third grade...after the 5th try. I know dust bunnies with more intelligence and personality than you. Stop making videos, and get back to your village. They said they're missing their idiot.

  • Paul Potts has talent, you have fuck all

  • the opera puts me to sleep i hate it. so shut up u stupid opera geeks this is an opionion

  • Id just like to add your stupid. And you are far from funny.

  • I BET YOU LIVE IN YOUR PARENTS BASEMENT! LOl

  • go away, you're stupid. give your camera to someone funny before you do this again. thank you.

  • You're an idiot

  • LOL. i think you wear a beanie cause you're balding, or you can't style your hair proper.

    and your video is even worse than OPERA, it's not even funny dude. if you wanna have a dig at something at least make it funny. it was just so.. stale.

    and it doesn't take half a brain to be moved by his stunning performance. I don't know nuts about opera but I can tell you he was one hell of a talent. and that in itself, is something to go WOW about, not Figaro.

  • LOL I don't get opera either. I can remember way......back in 5th grade being taken to the opera for our music class. I watched it, riveted through the whole thing, stayed awake to the very end. Walked out, teacher asked us what we thought and I said, "I don't get it."

  • Man, U make me laugh sooo hard!

    Ignorance is truly bliss in your case.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA

  • New You Tube strategy: Pick the top-rated, all time, video (spoots 1, 2 and 3) with the highest praise, close to 10 million hits in 2 weeks, and film a neanderthal wearing a hat backwords. "Look ma, I'm famous!"

  • you narrow minded fucking arsehole!!!! i dnt like opera personally but that guy is amazing... u think your video is gd watch pauls again and u wil see what true talent is dick head... i am sure i speak for every decent person in your country when i say this guy is talented and is a millios times the person you are!!!!

  • I'm not british but I can say one thing about u cock lover.........you are one stupid dick thinking Opera sucks, I mean look at Paul Potts, my idol.....he's like an inspiration to all the people in the world, you know what, you are not worth having me comment your shittty ass video.

  • Is that a trailer you're in? Do you live in a trailer? Didn't you notice that he wasn't singing in English, and therefore people from other countries like Opera too? Are you that much of an uncultured loser that you don't understand why people enjoy listening to good singers? I hate you with all the passion in my soul. Please die soon. That's the only way you will ever make as many people happy as Paul Potts has.

  • Please please ............  Mr Bush watch this and send this Fucker to Iraq .........place him on a Soap Box on the outskirts of Baghdad and I am sure he will get to speak to his TRUE Audience

  • Wow! An Idiot with Zero culture or appriciation for anything his small mind and smaller heart can't quite grasp. I'm shocked that you figured out how to post your ignorance on YouTube. And with your rendition of opera I can see why you don't like it. Because you're a talentless HACK!

  • You Thick F**K Wit!

  • I didn;t get past your 3rd sentance before I signed up to respond to you - Why Did We Like Paul Potts singing?

    Are you heart dead? Did you feel nothing at all? Jeez, bubba - it is all about feeling. ~marea

  • u are just a crazy man, shoot yourself!

  • You have no British friends you C##T !!!

  • u knob head go suck urself

  • You're an ass......WTF....Opera has been around for centuries - learn a bit of history...read a book - then you may actually be able to comprehend the importance of the Opera....

  • silly person

  • jealousy is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad thing. go and play with your bellybutton, poor.

  • typical twat who tries to be funny and smart, but fails, and instead makes a complete ass out of themselves. I think the world has too many of these kinda people.

  • Opera defines class, the way we applaud paul is the transetion from just another working man statistic into a king of me. Pauls voice carries with it the dreams of advancement and its range is high. L&R Relfy Baby.

  • you are a bell end, dont ever put another video up

  • XD I love opera but this is is just funny.

  • you are a waste of air time

  • Considering 86% off U.S. citizens believe in Creationism. I'm not surprised by this jack ass. The world doesn't like you for good reason.

  • This guy wouldn't know the difference between Figaro and a Fig Newton.

  • Please...please ...DOOOD!!! don't ever breed...you are a complete breathe of halitosis..

  • For God's sake, you're the most simple-minded guy I've ever seen. Please, remove that ridiculous thing of your head, have an education, and then think over before talking. Full stop.

  • Poor Talljim01 is just emulous of Paul Potts.

  • all this from a middle aged sack of crap who must think hes still in his 20s with his gay backwards hat. your obviously a classy and dignified individual. way to go man way to go

  • Man, you suck!!!

    Damn...

  • If all Americans think like u... I hate to think y u're doing an "Americans got Talent"???

  • If this is for British people... why are u talking about us eating snails... Don't u kno anything about Britain???

  • i think you always wanted to be an opera singer, but never had the chance!! XD

  • i was like, what the hell: you realy stupid!!

    i could start discussing with you and stuff, but, i think al of these people here have said enough and i agree with the fact that you aren't that intelectual nor have any musical feeling nor history of operah.

    it makes me wonder how many idiots like you there are.

  • americans are losers ...... fact!!!

  • Dude, you make me embarrassed to be an American. You never heard of the Met, for instance, in NYC?

  • so, what is your point?

  • Pity.... Make sure to give your kids the proper education they deserve.... and won't become like you.. Give them the choice that you never had.....

    Learning....

  • When greenday sang about 'an american idiot' I thought they meant a Republican or a neo-Con. This crank could be equally who they meant.

  • I don't think it's about Opera. It's all about ears, voice and feeling and dude... you don't have any of this. :))) Don't ask people what is so special with the opera because they know. Try to find why... Dude... I'm sorry for you. :)))

  • Get a job?

  • what the hell?... LOL you're hilarious!

  • what a dickhead..dude i feel sorry for you, you don't even know the history of opera and so forth...opera orginiated in europe...dude you have NO musical education...for you to say this...shows how much of if your head you got your head stuck up your ass

  • Talljim01

    Forgot your medications huh? It shows

    Pity

  • Not all British people like Opera, but the vast majority of us do enjoy a moving piece of classical music or two, and we like seeing people coming from nothing and making a big success of themselves. I guess that would even apply to degenerate colonials like you.

    You say "only rich people go to the Opera". That audience is full of working class people. Those are ordinary people in that audience, and they bloody enjoyed a fantastic performance by a truely talented, yet humble, man.

  • You don't understand what true beauty is. I feel sorry for you.

  • There goes to prove that once and for all, you can't argue and communicate with a liberal, always full of blind hatred. Every respond you gave, you always have to talk down to people or wish them or their families dead, that shows your character. The fact of the matter is, there will always be more conservatives than liberals cuz you guys are killing off your offsprings with your pro choice movement LOL

  • Gee, the way you sing Figaro, Figaro is like the way i and (most people) sing it - flat and emotionless 'cos i'm no singer. One really has to be good to sing opera.

  • JACERO10 is rite!He gives idiots a good name!I'm not into opera-but you don't have to be into/understand a genre of music to KNOW-Paul Potts voice & delivery- UNBELIEVABLE!I'm glad for freedom/speech-those with some degree of intelligence can see and hear what ignorance is !Zero to do with being from a certain country or culture-he's just exercising his rights to act and talk like a fool! I think he luved performance-just can't decide 2 be 'outed' Oh yeah-I'm a proud Canadian -Go Oilers!

  • Hey mate, do us all a favor. Go strangle yourself will you?

  • dumb american. nerd alert!

  • americans think jazz music is ancient for goodness sakes they have no concept of culture whatsoever- pathetic!

  • oooh man! you dumb american! i love the country! but they have nooo culture at all! that's why hip hop is so big there. a bunch of stupid ghetto monkey's singing a whole cd full of the same shit! come to europe asshole

  • It's a legitimate question. Not everyone who can sing can sing opera. That is a whole other level of singing. The most likely analogy would be singing "I Will Always Love You" like Whitney Houston. You have to have a powerful voice. You have to have perfect pitch. You have to be able to do all of that IN ITALIAN. Oh, and he sang Nessun Dorma, not Figaro.

  • Oh dear...

    Typical dumb American.

    Do you not understand that different countries have different cultures? You're very ignorant aren't you.

    For example, in your country you eat disgusting fast-food and then think you can get thin by taking a few pills...

    Whereas in the civilised part of the world we may enjoy a bit of opera.

  • As an American who isnt into opera, I must say you are an idiot. This video response is moronic and an embarassment to Americans. If you were unmoved by Paul Potts' performance, there is little that anyone can do for you. Your problem is not that you are an American, it is that you are you.

  • Ok..... we like the operas but most americans like the burgers but also people like you ... wish to commit suicide .

  • british ppl dont eat snail ritard thats the french. opera is for civilised ppl sumthing u americans no nuthing about

  • its the feeling....

  • u laughing at him for singing that...what the fu*k is that on ur head, looks ur wearing a condom...get over urself!

  • europe has the four tennors

    and the good ol USA has vanilla ice....

    btw, is that you vanilla, wow u havent aged well.

  • 'Pearls before Swine"

  • people like opra becos not evry1 can sing it its realy hi and you need talent to dho that

    dude,... u realy ont have talent

  • I'd really like to assure you folks that not all Americans are as Godforsakenly stupid as this man.

    And I love Country music as well as Opera, so all those insulting country, don't. That just puts you on his level.

  • Whenever I'm in the car I put on country music, but I change the station the moment any type of motor vehicle is mentioned in a song. I never listen to more than 20 seconds of country with this method.

    *change to country music station* "...ridin' ma truck" *changes to something else*

  • If you don't know how to appreciate his singing, just get into a bathtub and blow stinky bubbles of your own. Stay off the public.

  • You are missing the whole point. This is about emotion and touching a part of the human collective soul. You are not as evolved as most of us. Take it from me, an American male lover of rock n roll, this guy was and is amazing. If you did not like it that is fine. But to be so rude and insulting is unnecessary and arrogant and speaks only to you and not to Mr. Potts' performance. Where as he touched a lot of people, millions of them around the world, you are simpley touched.

  • HAhA...mister talljim01 must right now now be the most hated and cursed person on youtube!

    Well, what goes around comes around

    and never ever forget that!

  • youre an asshole (and this is coming from an american), go jump off a bridge.

  • i dont think i have ever witnessed such ignorance. This man has worked hard all of his life and some cunt like you comes along and slags him off.

    I dont even like opera or understand it but because your such a thick cunt you dont realise that its not neccesarily about opera its about seeing some genuine person who has had fuck all out of this life giving his heart and soul infront of millions of people and sing it like a professional.

  • what the fuck you on about what is it with opera he's fookin awesome, owns your ass go to Iraq dumbass

  • ok....y dont u fuckin sing like he does u ugly american tramp..ur a fuckin retard...he worked hard all his life..i think he deserves a fuckin break u silly cunt...i hope u get bombed to death u faggot

  • and thats why no 1 likes americans but this ones a top twat

  • This from a 50 year old Yank wearing a beanie, LMAO. How sad! You have no soul thats why you dont get it. Your loss, get over it. Watch Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli sing Time to Say Goodbye, and if you dont get ATLEAST goosebumps, you'd better cheak your pulse! Oh, and a grey flat cap might suit you better then that outrageous beanie.

  • hahaha this american prick aint gt a life

  • you wanna no y! coz he has nothing but pure talent! ur just a h8r!! u suck!! just get a life m8!

  • Id like to see you try and do it.

  • if you were to look around the net or even on tv im sure you would find that paul potts is big in the uk and in the usa he is in new york right now making a album dumbass i think you should take your cap of i think its a bit tight mate do us all a favour delete your video cause your just gonna get loads of people telling you that your a twat

  • typical redneck. Appreciation for opera generally requires an education. Opera is the difference between high culture and low culture, ie. 'the raw and uncultivated masses of sunken people' - Matthew Arnold

  • I guess you are joking? Or perhaps getting season tickets instead of funding your kids' education and living vicariously through your kids playing t-ball, is your thing. Culturally, the comparison of opera and the everyday crap we are usually fed by the media is as plain as the difference between Formula 1 and NASCAR. Simple, really; unless one is a narrow minded boob. P.S. Your hat is on backwards...grow up.

  • NO BRAIN AT ALL.

  • "I watched it, and I was like, 'What the hell?'" Yeah, my sentiments exactly, after seeing your wee tirade. Here's a question for you: What's with the rodeo? I don't understand how all you rednecks get so worked up about having sex with cows.

  • you sound like a stupid republican to me.

  • no,..more like a liberal to me,...since liberals are the ones that are condasending and obnoxious, they dont want people to succeed, but rather be victimized! If you cant tell the difference, you are indeed ignorant.

  • "condasending" is that a word they teach you in republican school?

  • you are such a retard, you know you cant argue in the arena of ideas, so you pick apart my spelling error, nice try.

  • I was terribly distracted by your inability to articulate an "idea" to actually pay attention.  If you have an "idea" that needs a response or an argument, start with framing it correctly in a sentence, and we'll go from there.

  • Again,...goes to show what liberals and goldfish have in common, a 10 sec memory lol

  • wow. No content, just very poor opera impressions, and someone who clearly doesn't get it. We're all entitled to personal taste, but if you're going to bash a serious art form in public, try to have something to say.

  • you're an arsehole mate

  • Hi talljim, I'm not sure people are quite getting your video, I thought it was fine. Not quite comedy, but the intent was there.

    The thing is, if you want to make a point, comedic or not, you first need to have a point to make, no? Well you didn't make a point so there's no great discussion.

    Perhaps next time, a little more thought would help.

    Best wishes.

  • Yea no discussion, and more thought huh. lol is that why i got over a thousand comments?

  • whooo cheap thrill!

    I said discussion, as did you.  You could have gotten more comments, and probably shown more intelligence, posting a video of your arse.

  • You are an embarrassment to yourself and our country. Asking people why they like opera is like asking you why you like wearing a backwards baseball cap. Your statement at the end: "I watched it, and I was like, what the hell?" Exactly.
