Aerosmith's "I don't want to miss a thing" is also featured in the clip, for those that keep asking!
For all those that seem to think Paul is a pro in disguise, please realise the following. - Bath Opera is an amateur opera company staging a small number of productions a few times each year. - Paul has performed in just 4 four productions with this company - Paul has attended some masterclasses in Italy. These courses are designed for talented amateurs. All of these are paid for by those attending. - A few masterclasses, even one with the great man do not constitute "a formal opera training" by any stretch of the imagination. - Professional opera singers earn their living by treading the boards night after night week-in week-out, year after year with professional opera companies. - Paul, has never earned a single penny from opera performance, other than winning a tv talent show in 1999 - the winnings funding masterclasses. - Paul has not performed since 2003. - He is not a professional opera singer pretending to be a mobile phone sales man, but rather he is a mobile phone salesman aspiring to be an opera singer. - An operatic voice IS a trained voice.
Hmmmm, perhaps if I can buy a few classes at a pro cookery school, I can pass myself off as a highly experienced pro chef.....hmmmmm......

MARR You have spent half of page downing Paul, upping your LATE Corelli and Pavarotti. I would go to listen to him in concert as I did, LIVE, and you will hear one great siinger. I get sick of listening about all the past ones and the present ones being kicked down. Paul reaches all the high notes when I heard him. I do not like to listen to others as much as Paul, and you just make it more so everytime you come on here to vent your resentment to Paul.
Paul does not have the warbles anymore. Pavarotti must have wasted his time and money on perfecting his talent if he was born singing at his best. Now Paul is a force to be reckoned with, like Pavarotti his amazing talent is being refined.
well I'm sorry to break it to you...but this is terrible according to...well anything....just compare it to almost any professional. He has talent, but he still needs lots of training. He should have auditioned for an opera class when he was younger. You can get scholorships. But now...well the voice itself is in poor condition, he sings literature way beyond him and with too much pressure. That will damage his voice permanently very soon.
