Paul Potts - Oh Holy Night 2007

Paul Potts - Oh Holy Night 2007

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!




Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!




Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

He has such a wonderful voice, sings from his heart ..1 day he will stand alongside pavarotti and other gr8 singers.

@PeTrTr This isn't good compared to the great voice that is Paul Potts.Look up Faddergalan och Paul Potts " O Holy Night" at the side there, the Paul Potts Reykjavik version, the "O Holy Night Clip" which Paul sang over 4 yrs since. It amazes me that the worst of this song by Paul has the most views. Yes Bjorling is amazing.

[PeTrTr]

Not saying that this is bad. It isn't I've been impressed by Paul Potts from the first moment I heard him sing. But I have to say that so far Ive never heard anyone sing this better than Jussi Björling.

The only version of this song that stunned me, was David Phelps. His version in my mind is the greatest version of this song.

On the other hand, Paul Potts has a unique sound and is getting better, and there are things he does very well and sings from the heart.

@TheMarigold8 First, I found the Reykjavik version and my opinion is still what it was before. Secondly, I have said this once and I will say it again, I am not dismissing him as a singer. When I made the statement "he sings because he loves to", I meant just that. In fact, if you would stop taking my comments out of context, (i.e. focusing on one part of my comment), you'll notice that my first comment was defending him as a singer and a performer.

@TheMarigold8

When ask for others to be civil, I mean in how they give their opinion of him, positive or negative. I personally believe he sings well; divine would be a slight stretch. You may believe he sings "divinely" and may say whatever you choose to about him or my comments for that matter. I'm not dismissing him as a poor singer. When I say light voice I mean he has a lighter, softer timbre. There is nothing wrong with this but you cannot expect an enormous sound.
