  • His words will forever touch the deepest parts of my living soul, If we could all feel his needs and desires to some day know what the words he sings out loud , would do to each and everyone in every country the world as we see it would be surely be blessed by God as he would be very proud to know that we all truely know right from wrong ! God has surely Blessed Mr Paul Potts in a remarkable way !

  • Before I die...I just want to see him once live. I want to be there to take in the beauty of his voice, so when I'm moved to tears, I won't be sitting behind some wires and liquid crystal displays...I will be there, in person.

    I have been a fan of Paul since I saw him on Britain's got Talent. His rendition of Nessum Dorma moved me to tears and I didn't understand why! Now I do...I will see you Paul, just once...

    Before I die....

  • @mattlore go it is worth it i saw him right after winning when he first toured in the States and it was worth every penny i will some day get a chance to see him perform again

  • I love the visual beauty of this video, it so perfectly matches the performance. Also how the audience leaps to their feet. They know perfection when they hear it!

    This is food for the soul.

  • wow..just beautiful

  • I have watched this video for a whole day now and it thrills me everytime..... the emotion behind the lines is so wonderful.... He is someone that has made me believe more than ever that you can be whatever you want to be.... Paul, you are a blessing!

  • why does this video only have 145,000 views? I dont why justin bieber kissing selena gomez gets all the views, and amazing acts like Paul Potts with REAL TALENT hardly gets any views. ?? cant figure it out..

  • PAUL YOU ARE ONE IN A BILLION, LOVE IT. A FAN FOREVER TOO.

  • Erre nem lehet mondani semmit.

    Ezt hallgatni kell.

  • This is just so magical!!

  • Es war das Spiel 'Spanien x Schweiz'... ich schaute es... nur wegen einer Wette... dann... "first time ever I saw your face"... the way I feel.

  • ¡¡¡ Nacio para alegrarnos la vida escuchandolo cantar eres lo maximo Paul Potts !!!

  • @njattack You are obviously clueless what art, which music is, is all about. Art is not about the best technique, just because you leave the Art Academy with the highest graded, doesn't mean you'll turn into a Van Gogh. When I listen to a genius like Pavarotti, I hear an excellent technique, but does his voice hit my emotional strings? Not at all. Potts however HAS that skill as no other, that's what makes him unique and that's what art should be all about.

  • @njattack I can list thousands of great artist that don't even come close to the vocal skills of a Pavarotti or Calas, yet they have moved more people than all Opera singers combined. Like I said, you have no clue what art is all about.

  • @3ytc You are 100% right. I don't know a damn thing about art. But I know who is worth $70 a ticket and who is not. It doesn't take any brains to see that Mr. Potts is not worth $70 per ticket. He's worth a free watch at a mall. Those who are worth $70 are something like Maria Ewing or Angela Gheorghiu or Victor Borge (now deceased).

  • @njattack I agree with 3ytc, for you it's all a matter of who is having the best technique, I feel sorry for you that you don't understand the essence of music.

  • @steprl Don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for the suckers that paid $70 to see Potts!

  • Where was this held at?

  • @njattack Prague Opera House in Czech Republic

  • @m19c46 The One Chance videos were done in Prague. This was done in Kiev's Opera House in the Ukraine

  • @paulpottstv Thank you for correcting my mistake. Paul has a beautiful voice and I wish him great success. He has come a long way from the carphone warehouse to the opera house. If he ever comes to Las Vegas to entertain I would love to see him in person. I'm sure he will perform to sold-out audiences. May God bless him.

  • Great talent, amazing voice, beautiful video. God bless you!

  • would sing him under my table to any time and opportunity.....

  • Simply magical, my comment would be exactly as the 2 highest comments said.

    Regina,

  • I love you Paul Potts. You have a wonderful voice... makes me cry. Lots of passion, thank you

  • La volta che ho visto il viso tuo É nato il sole negli occhi miei Di luna e di stelle questo buio in me Si ferí e morí d'amor d'amor La volta che la bocca tua baciai Tremó la terra intorno a noi Fintanto confusa la mia anima Diventó prigionera tua d'amor La volta che sei diventata mia Sento il mio cuore dentro di te Dove non so, so solo che ti amai Amai Amai Ti amai
  • wow......

  • anyone have the italian lyrics or any link to it...? thanks...

  • como él mismo lo dijo, nació para cantar, cuando lo escucho me siento feliz porque realizó su sueño

  • bravisimo, paul.gracias....

  • Roberta Flack sang it and it was good.

    Paul, You nailed it, the best, wonderful.

    I became your fan since the first time I heard you sing on BGT.

    I wish you well, God bless.

  • HE IS BEST EVER SINGER I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!! Because I was 14 years old, just now about Westlife and Celine Dion and another pop singer, and I never heard about this man before!!! AND FIRST TIME I SAW HIM SINGING ON BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT, I SAID IN MY HEART, AND SCREAMING, HE WAS VERY AWESOME!!!!! HE IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!! HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGER WITH GREATEST DREAM!!!!!!!! I hope I can Buy on of the cellphone he sold before with the discount.. hahhaa.. may be Windows Phone 7

  • bravo paul..............from Lima Peru.........pisco sour is waiting for you. amigo paul

  • holy exelent . I like realy this song !

  • This will always be Paul's best.

  • love it!

  • Me estremece esta canción cada vez que la escucho. Este hombre es un querubín que mandaron acá desde los coros celestiales.

    Por Dios, que belleza armónica y vocal!

    Una parte de esta cación siempre me toca

    "Senti el mio quore dentro di tua" 2:50

    Siente mi corazón dentro de tí.

  • Paul Potts sings beautifully. Italian songs are the best in the world Paul has happened to these songs ..........

  • Exellent ! Ciao Stefano

  • aaaaaaaahhhhhhh mi amore Paul Potts... I love your voice..... will I ever see you again? Come to Mexico.

  • como saber si lees estos comentarios mi queridisimo, escribo ciertamente en el vacio, se que no lo haces, ni siquiera tienes una leve proximidad de instuir lo que mi espiritu se eleva cada vez que esta melodia regocija mis oidos, un beso de venezuela, pascualina!

  • Mis respetos por su gran talento...

    Saludos desde Panama

  • Wonderful song, one of my favorite in his album. He sings with such emotion, I can feel it.

  • Muito bom,de verdade,emociona todas as vezes...

  • Thank You!!!

    from Hungary

  • amo la escencia de este hombre dios mio!!!!!!! pascualina de venezuela, y si algun dia podrias leer este comentario quiero que sepas que eres mi leccion de vida!!!!!!!!!!

  • Guys, this dude rocks. I loved him since the first time i saw him on britains got talent. Im really happy for him. He always makes me cry.

  • Simply wonderful! Thank you Paul! It´s like a balsam for my soul...

  • Beware of humble and reserved people, they hold back the most incredible passion,

    and when they let it loose no one is safe from it's impact.

    I'm a fan forever.

  • @Argonaught25 : You summed up correctly! Tremendous passion, the best way to describe Paul Potts. May God bless him and use him to enlighten those who are cast down, who do not believe in themselves. Who better than Paul to impact others!

  • My god.. his teqnique has increased tenfold... same beautiful voice, though... makes me cry everytime..

  • more professional every day; but you can still feel his love for what he is singing and I can't imagine what he will be like as his voice matures. always makes me smile

  • I don't know what he's saying, but it's magnificent.

  • great song Paul!~ thanks

    ...... cheers!

  • Magnifico essa sua voz...

    adoro ouvir todas as tuas canções ...

    Quando é que você vem a Portugal???

    Cumprimentos

    João Freixo

  • te amo amigo eh!!!!!

  • Cannot deny he is very very much improved compared to last time. I think he will age very well like fine wine. He would probably be equal or surpass Pavarotti's status someday.

    I hve the "One Chance CD" mid last year. But they released another christmas edition with new songs!!! Dang!!! Should have waited for the christmas edition if i knew. Damn u Simon Cowell!! hahaha

  • De acuerdo.

    En si ya es mejor que los profesionales por cuanto transmite los verdaderos sentimientos bajo las partituras, los tenores famosos solo se dedican a cantar perfectamente sin tomar en cuenta lo más importante que es tocar las almas de los neófitos.

    El mejor genio musical de todos los tiempos es es te señor Potts. Ahora que está aprendiendo a desarrollar la técnica cada vez nos deleita más.

  • @netmatrix75 not true! the improvements are technical sounds created by the tone studio.

  • @GERMANYFrankie

    Of course there are improvements in studio recording equipment and sound tuning for every album. I mean he sounds a lot more different than when i first heard him. His voice seems more stable everywhere. If u are talking about totally changing his voice, i do not agree Auto Tune or Milli Vanilli is at work here.

  • I love how he sings this song,He puts so much feeling in it .just so nice.

  • Paul sings for his wife and produces this stunning piece. I hear the love that my partner and I share and my eyes mist up and my heart fills.

  • This guy is incredible.

  • I've read critics trashing Paul and its heartbreaking. What they don't understand is music must touch people. Its never about technical supremacy or class. There is no doubt about Paul's talent and skill, most importantly he can do what many others fail: reach into people emotionally. I have heard other opera singers but they can't make me feel what I feel with Paul's voice. The ability to connect to people is something neither training nor technical perfection can achieve. Its a gift.

  • You hit the nail exactly on the head and this is what I keep saying too! Music should not be analyzed about every technical detail, music should be rated by how it affects people, period. You can have the most technical skills, but if you can't connect with people, then you've failed as a singer in my view.

  • fill the earth

    And last till the end of time, my love

    And it will last till the end of time, my love

    The first time ever I saw your face, your face

    Your face, your face

  • The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless skies, my love To the dark and the endless skies And the first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hands Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command, my love And the first time ever I lay with you I felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would

  • Just can't say how much I like his voice. Sure he's not Pavarotti but that actually makes me like him even more. Paul has a clear and very warm tenor voice which is just amazing.

  • This guy is such a talent, its incredible. I love his voice. He is also an inspiration, as I watched him on Britains Got Talent as he went from being a phone salesman to absolute stardom with his incredible talent and belief. Awesome stuff man. Awesome.

  • I Love this guy!!!

    Thank you Paul for giving us more. Striking performance. I love your voice.

    Hi from Mexico

  • tengo 50 años de los cuales 10 de ellos amando a quien no me merece, mi razon es consciente de ello, pero mi corazon se resiste, este espectacular hombre con su voz revive ese dolor no se por que motivo, sera por lo exceso de su voz parecido al lo excelso de mi amor!!!! pascualina de venezuela

  • so sweet...i've always wanted to listen to a sweet tenor voice. paul's is magnificent.

  • I know what you mean about a sweet tenor voice.

    After a while, tenors can become a little too much, but Pauls voice I could listen to till cows come home.

    Pauls powerful range has been polished, and he is now coming in to his own, and I like to play him most of all above all the legends.

    I wonder what he will sound like in another 2 yrs.

    Unbelievable.

  • Excellent performance

  • fantasztikus--gratulálok!!!!!!­!!

  • heart wrenching, soul twisting performance. Absolutely perfetto!

  • Can anyone write out the lyrics and send me to singitright@gmail ..I gotta do a wedding..thanks in advance..

  • englase a italiano?

  • I've had the privilege of seeing him 3 times now and it is always incredible.

  • Una brisa de aire fresco...

  • Beautiful Paul

  • I dedicated this song to Christi.

  • Because he sang out of tune (that is, if that was true), does that make him not a talented artist or very unprofessional? If that's the case, then we can scratch a lot of professionals of our lists...

    If you hate the guy or can't stand it that people like him, just say so, but don't come up with such lame comments.

  • I dedicate this song to my beautiful wife Melissa

  • oh my god!!!! as usual, I'm stunned by your performance, I would love to go see you sing again. Thank you for being who you are. Give us more. Love from Mexico

  • I have to say that I love Opera and Paul Potts makes me want to cry of happiness every time I hear his voice, thanks Paul because you feel my heart with Hope and Peace....We love YA!

  • This is the first song I sent my Soulmate..because when I first saw her face I knew she was the one for me forever. Great Heart Paul...

  • bravo!!

  • Felicidades, Paul. Te veo más seguro que cuando empezaste. Ten siempre confianza en ti. Tu voz es preciosa, cuídala mucho. Tu don es para pocos. Oírte me lleva a los cielos. Gracias por existir. ¡Abrazo fuerte!

  • This is a stunning video, going out to get me this one!

  • Paul Potts is the reason I like Opera.

  • Absolutely.

  • There's no one with a better voice. I listen very often and come away feeling fine.

  • With all respect to Michael Jackson, and I've always been a great fan of him, even bought the last DVD "This is it", but Michael's voice comes nowhere close to Paul Pott's voice, Michael has other qualities.

  • A heaven sent voice

  • il suo italiano è perfetto ! :)

  • My Wife and I saw him at the Beacon Theatre on July 9, 2009 !!! OMG !!! His voice is Amazing and a very Humble man as well !!! God Bless Him !!!

  • Es Un signo de Dios en La terra, El tiene que ser un signo reflexivo para los paises en guerra, es signjo de la vida, Dios nos esta Hablado Por Medio De seRes asi como este hombre.

  • Saw Paul last night in Atlanta!

    BREATHAKING!!!!!

    What a gentle man. Met his adoring fans after the show even though he had a long

    drive to Atlantic City.

  • Comment removed

  • this is just an amazing video...i love the way the audience is completely silent until the last note stops reverberating...and the crescendo as the lights pops up...i've got both cds and can't wait for the next...Paul Potts..you are the man !!!

  • WOW... Excellent!!!!

    Way to go Paul!!!!

  • sin duda Dios le dio esa vos acompañada de una sinsera umildad Dios te vendiga paul

  • bobs101, I have to agree with you. AWESOME!!! I have been a huge fan of Paul since his 1st audition on BGT. Paul, you have a GREAT talent. Used it.

  • appapo: On BGT, Paul said he was there to sing opera. If he had sung La Prima Volta, he wouldn't have been singing opera - it is not an opera. But isn't it a wonderful song! He definitely sang opera on BGT and the judges obviously, and "truly flipped"... EarsToHearWith

  • AWESOME!

  • dios mio tiene una voz increible me llega al corazon y de saver que le pude comprar un celular waa....

    dios hay muchas personas con talento pero no lo dicen por temor a opacar a los mediocres.

  • Thank you Paul Potts!!!

  • カッコいいじゃん、まさに時代の人、日本人にもオペラって良いね­!て思わせた人だよね。

  • No...God has empowered this man

  • God has really blessed this man.

  • Simply awesome and flawless singing

  • I can see dead Opera stars hovering just above him trying to touch him to bring him into the Light... Man, what have I been smoking. LOL

  • didn't know high octane could shine, but it sure can make a buffed car go......i suspect a super restored vintage something english and fab.....go paul go.

  • Wish he sang this on BGT.The panel would have truly fliped

  • Beautiful Voice Best song ever. Well Done Paul.

  • cant someone stop this porn crap??

  • Paul Potts' story is the fairy tale of the early 21st century.

  • Simplemente maravilloso

  • Well done Paul

  • Y R U E  A ?

    Its Paul.

    GOD

  • amazing

  • Can't find words... this voice is unbeliveable!! Thank God paul won the BGT!!! A gift from heaven..

  • Time stops when he sings this.

  • It's crazy! I have both cd's, I listen to them all the time, and still I keep watching his video's over and over again too!!

    I plead guilty: I'm an addict :)

  • For the amount of time this man has been on stage and in front of the entire world, he is absolutely remarkable. The range of his voice is something else again.

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Охуеть!!

  • This is about tenth time my wife and I have sat and listened to this video and still can't help but get misty eyed. This man has an incredible voice and will be on the world stage for a long time to come.

    I am also going to predict that the CD that this song is on will be a 30 million plus seller and this song will be a single hit for Mr. Potts.

    A very precious gift without a doubt.

  • Nessun Dorma !!!

    Why is it not possible to look at this video in my country?

  • Cripes almighty, what a hauntingly beautiful version and Paul's voice is unbelievable.

    Talk about a gift from God. What a voice.

  • I agree a beautiful version. Even more

    so in Italian a beautiful language.

  • Paul Potts story should be made into an opera

  • At Paul's first audition, Amanda asked, 'Paul, what are you here for' ?

    'To sing opera', replied Paul...

    I NDEED, sir... I say carry on.

  • Jeez, what an incredible voice.

    It's amazing that so many people think that he is nothing more than an emotional fad because of his background story. I hope those critics have a chance to hear this version of this classic.

  • Pitch perfect, crystal clear.

    Absolutely breathtaking.

    Its amazing how much confidence he has, that is something in itself to be proud of. Congratulations sir, it is only a matter of time till HM recognises your quality and you receive a MBE.

  • My favorite by far great job Paul

  • Mommyo2loves, just Google The First time Ever I Saw Your Face.... this performance is hauntingly beautiful... Incredible.

  • I thought I still liked Andrea Bocelli more until I heard this. He sang with such genuine emotion in his voice that it just sort of reached out and grabbed hold of me. Absolutely beautiful song and performance. Flawless.

  • I have almost all Bocelli albums, a wonderful skillful singer, no doubts about that, but don't ask me how... but Paul Potts grabs me more emotionally with his voice (not just with this song) than Bocelli does and mind you, Bocelli is already very good at putting emotions into a song.

  • This was beautiful

  • That was, without a doubt, the purest, most beautiful performance I have ever heard. I can't stop listening to it. I hope he comes to Dallas for a concert.

  • From a mobile phone salesman to this .... it really is one of the most extrordinary stories in show buisness history !!! Magnificent performance.

  • When God took Pavarotti into Heavens in 2007, He then gave us Paul Potts!

    Paul: if anything could define perfection, it is your voice, your music and your talent. God Bless You for bringing joy into the hearts of millions around the world.

  • La volta che la bocca tua baciai

    Tremó la terra intorno a noi

    Fintanto confusa la mia anima

    Diventó prigionera tua d'amor

    La volta che sei diventata mia

    Sento il mio cuore dentro di te

    Dove non so, so solo che ti amai

    Amai

    Amai

    Ti amai

  • La Prima Volta (First Time Ever I Saw Your Face)

    (E. McColl)

    La volta che ho visto il viso tuo

    É nato il sole negli occhi miei

    Di luna e di stelle questo buio in me

    Si ferí e morí d'amor d'amor

  • Perfect... nothing else to say.

  • the most amazing guy dedicated this song to me... its amazingly beautiful..... its almost like you dont need to know the translation of the words to know what they mean...but still I would love to know....

  • Do you mean in English? there are many versions of this song, leona lewis has covered it, stereophonics, celine dion (dont recommend that one) and roberta flack, its a truly beautiful song that brings tears to my eyes every single time i hear it, sure you will find a different version here on you tube, i'd type out the lyrics here but best heard really.

  • A moving performance no doubt but I still believe his very first audition was the most mind blowing. It was unexpected and he really made a statement with it. A true talent. He is also very lucky because there are many like him out there who haven't been given an opportunity and may never get an opportunity. He is very very good.

  • Can anyone tell me when I will ever be able to listen to Paul Potts without getting tears in my eyes? :) such a WONDERFUL voice!!

  • Just simply fantastic!!!

    Musty01

  • Comment removed

  • Wow.....I still  find your music absolutely breathtaking. You are just great!!! WAY TO GO>>>PAUL!!!!

  • Er berührt mit seiner Stimme und fantastischen Liedern.<3

  • jojojo que groso este hombre, demostracion de lo que es tener deseo de superacion y coraje para hacer las cosas bien bravooooooo!!!!!!!!

  • Eres único Paul, tu voz, un regalo que te ha dado Dios para que con tu canto nos digas que él esta siempre con nosotros.

    Gracias por ello.

  • This is my favorite song. I am just how you were not too long ago, a normal and unknown man, whos desire is to sing opera and be a blessing to people. I am truly glad you got your chance to do so my friend. keep singing and more power to you. never forget however where you come from, the media may make you a famous man but humility will keep you a good man. i will someday soon be singing my heart out for the world and i hope to sing with you brother. perhaps i shall see you in atlanta. God bless

  • Thank you, Paul. Your music means so much to me. Can't wait to see you in Atlanta this July.

  • What a privilege to be able to see the audience from your perspective. The joy I felt for you, being in the right kind of place and doing what you were meant to do, was immeasurable. I could feel your humble gratefulness and your own awe being where you were, doing what you were doing. I thanked God, and Brittain's Got Talent, for giving you to the world.

    Shelley

  • No one can sing better than Paul Potts. He is the best.
