Comments about the performance only please. All others will be removed and blocked.
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......

... L'émotion boulversante qui se dégage de cette interprétation et de cet homme est tout simplement... Hors norme!
La chaire de poule envahie mon corps à chaque fois que je vois cet homme au pied du mur de la vie... On voit qu'il met tout se qu'il a au plus profond de lui pour changer son destin... Les larmes caressent mes yeux... c'est beau!
I don't think its a tad bit extreme someone saying he's as good as Pavrotti. Seen him live of recent, and he is just as good. The exciting thing about it is that Paul has not still had the extreme training of him and other great tenors. The archair critics should go and see the rare talent of this man in concert. I found his voice powerful and mesmerizing here, but like Simon Cowell, live I was not expecting that. As Piers Morgan said, incredible voice, As Amanda said diamond
