Paul Potts - Classic FM interview

[Blake788]

search nicolas and the iceni narrow road to the deep north.

They write beautiful new classical music

[nematel]

Great talent never dies. Paul puts his heart into every performance he makes. If you want perfect renditions then just get a computer-modified version for yourself. People want the human touch he brings to each song. I just wish he keeps on riding that bus with us.

[rjmandal]

Are you deaf or something?!! there must be a problem with your ears... maybe its harden earwax around your eardrums...!

[comescrittomaestro]

yes, I actualy have a perfect pitch, what about you? Potts lover:) Nobody forbids you to love your favorite singer, it just shows your level of a musical education if you find that beautiful.

and it's you who needs to clean your ears and heart

[petefergie]

An easy listening singer he may well be, but opera singer, never! in fact he would be laughed off stage at Covent Garden, La Scala and The Met. Stick to tv and take the punters for all they are worth Paul, good luck

[voice299]

I saw the same girl you talk about Milica Ilic on the BBC the other night. She is lovely, and such beauty and passion. She's my favourite

[mustavklimt]

I saw that she's got myspace/milicailic oh, she is divine.

[mustavklimt]

Yes he is good, but I recently listened to the classical guitarist Milica Ilic playing live and that was utter beauty, purity, serenity and yet an undiscovered gem as far as I know. just glad I've discovered her music!

[tenminutesgone]

what an extraordinary interview. thankyou for posting it

[Derrille]

Sure wish the young people from every country could make Paul Potts their hero and shelve the others whose egos outweigh their talent. Truly a humble, terrific human being with the voice of an angel.

[doctorgsja]

There are thousands of great singers out there-just because he won a popularity contest doesn't mean we should all adore him. As far as tenors are concerned, he's yet another deluded Pavarotti wannabe-just sings the same old Italian stuff we've heard a million times. Go and listen to recordings of sopranos singing Webern's Songs-that is singing!

[musicgeek15]

bless him. he is amazing!! x

[pfaufata]

Mahalo nui loa from Hawaii for sharing your talent that has been kept from the public so long. Best of luck and happiness to you and your Ohana......MALAMA PONO!

[LuvLife64]

Paul is truly generous and gracious with his talent. His music bridges generations and takes the masses to a Divine level. The Power of ONE...dedicated, unselfish person. What an example of being fully human...with a touch of "angel".

[mikeylorene]

He's so cute! I love him!

[marieloupe]

As I said before, Paul is the cousin that brings we to the prom, the nephew that brings the aunt to the church, the grandchild that sit with grandpa to play chess with... What a lovely singer, what a great human being. Thanks to exist in this lifetime, Paul!

[NSResponder]

On the bus? More like in the limousine.  ;-)

[mirellaconte]

It appears that he has had his front tooth fixed, which is good, and that he's enjoying working with his vocal coach and improving, ever remaining the sweet and lovable guy we have come to know from Britain's Got Talent. I still play those videos several times a day to give me a ray of inspiration. You go, Paul!!!

[1jammot]

Truly, a beautiful mind, and no cinema at all. How can a man whose life has just been stood on its head remain so altogether, uncomplicated and modest? Paul is a gift to anyone willing to accept him. There have been furious debates about how Paul would popularise opera. It is WE who are privileged, Paul, not you, to be on your bus with you. Take us where you will, just don't stop!

[PhilloAFCDons]

Excellent stuff Classic FM, setting the standard yet again

[blueONwhite]

That was very nice. Thank you for posting. I think his first answer, about how music is for everybody, shows a lot of wisdom (my characterization of his response is very primitive, sorry).

He's a pretty amazing guy.

[ancestralyuba]

The genuine article. The real deal. What a thrill to watch the progress of his career!

[Sealive]

Paul: you are the original nice guy, and with tremendous talent. In just a few short weeks you have brought so much pleasure to so many millions of people worldwide. And you are here to stay. The world is thanking YOU for the music.

[brightgrandma]

Wonderful man! Wonderful music!

[bargegirl]

As if we needed any more reasons to admire you, Paul!

[musicmill]

What a sweet, gracious guy! Besides having great natural talent, he has such a wonderful, unassuming attitude. Best Wishes, Paul. Your music has touched a wide group of people, worldwide.
