Paul Potts sings Nessun dorma on UK talent show "Britain's got Talent" featuring Simon Cowell as a judge.
Check out the clip of his semi final winning performance.
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......

That's something that i watched and it made me step back and just think to myself how amazing people are. And that you should never judge a book by it's cover. I'm a 22 year old guy and i consider myself a pretty tough guy but at the part when he hit the big notes and the card was cheering i have to admit i teared up a little bit. Truly amazing

sorry if im wrong but i think even Pavarotti or Bocceli would be amazed

imdkleine, I'm not sure how "15 minutes" can fade faster than. . uh. . 15 minutes, but with 103 concerts, numerous other appearances, a best-selling CD worldwide, and another due out in the spring, Paul's already well past the "flash in the pan" short-lived fame you predict.
RebeccaRev (November 19, 2008 at 12:43 am)
pblock, until he got sick and then got injured, Paul put every cent he could afford into lessons and every spare moment into performing in amateur (semi-pro) productions. To me, that does not equal "overnight success." Full marks to the "gifted and hardworking professionals" who somehow had the luck and/or resources to work at it full time, though, because, to me, liking one singer does not mean disliking another.

debbie44, Paul recorded a Christmas album but because of his album success in Germany and demands on his time it will not be released. The next album will be out in the Spring and I would assume Paul will also have a Christmas album in 2009.

Paul has improved quite a bit since this audition. He hadn't taken lessons or sung in public the four years prior to BGT.
Passion may not make a great singer but it sure is beneficial to a great entertainer.

As an opera fan, I can agree with you to a certain extent. Potts is no Pavarotti. But give him some credit...hes pretty good for a newbie. I bet Pav didn't start out a legend either.
If it helps, a lifetime of hardwork will win out a lucky break in the end. Pavarotti will be remembered for centuries to come as an operatic master. Potts' 15 mins of fame will fade sooner than you may think.

All of you people that think Paul Potts is even comparable to Pavarotti are complete and total morons. Paul Potts has potential and talent, not training and skill. It sickens me that overnight superstars like Potts get such attention, whereas truly gifted and hardworking professionals get overlooked. The ignorance of the general community when it comes to opera is quite sad. Passion does not a great singer make.
