Geez Simon Cowell is in everything! :)

That guy is pretty good.

[xstream]

Pavarotti, eat your heart out.

[astro_nutt]

This guy has shown what it is to have an extrordinary gift..beautiful!!..I wish him all the best!

[Ric]

Great voice, he really powers accross even through the computer speaker.

Top stuff

[Dennis]

Wow - what an emotional roller coaster ride!

Not too sure how much post editing contributed to the kaleidoscope of feelings, but I felt doom and gloom vibes from the judges' initial, somewhat jaded reactions, swiftly intensifying to utter joy, elation and awe as this humble man delivered a most heart felt and beautiful rendition of Nessun Dorma – what an amazing talent!

Cheers

Dennis

culture?

[ballaratdragons]

That clip has been on so many TV channels this morning its amazing!!!!

What an amazing voice!!!!!!!!! I hope he goes far :thumbsup:



I agree about the judges initial reactions. They expected him to be rubbish. Ha Ha! Fooled em. Ya can't tell a book by its cover.

[CoombellKid]

Watched this on TV this morning, simply fantastic!!!!!

Loved the reaction of the audience, the judges and him.

regards,CS

Classic!!!

I love it when these types of 'talent' shows are forced to judge on talent alone, rather than fluff.

A real victory of substance over style.

It's funny to watch the judge's reactions. It's like "Oh crap!! What do we do here...?" this one doesn't fit easily into a few predictable cliche boxes.

Well done, mate. Whoever you are:thumbsup:

[Shawn]

Yes the judges were at the mercy of the audience...:lol:

[jjjnettie]

And the crowd went wild!!!
What a talent!

[bloodhound31]

Let me try to articulate this in as many words as possible.........


WOW!:eyepop:

Baz.

[spacezebra]

This made me cry - this was absolutely amazing. Paul Potts - what an amazing talent - one to watch.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Cheers Petra

[ballaratdragons]

Doesn't sound like an 'Opera' singers name does it. He'll have to change it something like Paulo Potterotti :P

[bloodhound31]

A single tear ran down my cheek....no, really! I had to hide it as I wasn't watching alone.

Must be the heaters..ahem...making my eyes water....yeah.:(

[netwolf]

Truely amazing, wow.

Praise be to the creator, what wonders to humble us.

Fahim

[netwolf]

How about this little wonder. My god that song was made for this little girl to sing.

[netwolf]

And the wonders keep rolling in A awesome song and an equally amazing singer.

I too saw this performance on TV on one of the morning shows, and it was pretty much as you saw it in that You-tube clip. I was stunned, amazed, and I did feel a wave of emotion run through me as he hit the final notes.

What surprised me almost more is that seeing it again I had exactly the same reaction as this morning, even knowing what was to come. He has a stunning voice and I'm sure he has a bright new career in front of him, regardless of whether or not he wins this tv competition.

[styleman333]

My god !!!
He's as good as Pavorotti , and he seems such a humble bloke thats not even that aware of his amazing gift.

Paul Potts to win Britains got talent ! yeah but yas are right , he sure will need to change his name , then again maybe it might make him extra special to be just paul potts .

[spacezebra]

I watched him again this morning - same impact!

No I dont think that he needs to change his name, he is who he is and thats speaks volumes. Should not change a thing!

Cheers Petra

[bizarro]

Like everyone else I was blown away when I saw this. I also noticed on Youtube a link to his semi-final performance. If you enjoyed the first one you wont be disappointed.

[ballaratdragons]

Well, after watching that 2nd Video that Greg linked to, I believe he should definately keep his own name after he very proudly says "I'm Paul Potts".

Onya Paul Potts :thumbsup:

[spacezebra]

Hi Greg

Thank you, thank you and thank you again for posting this. Great to see the Semi Final.

Cheers Petra

[danielsun]

WOW!! That absolutely blew me away, such a humble man with an incredible voice!!
He doesn't need to change anything, his voice will make his name famous for being a brilliant opera singer!

[Gargoyle_Steve]

In telecommunications circles POTS is short for "Plain Old Telephone Service", ie a standard wired landline.

Perhaps now POTTS may mean "Plain Old Tenor Telephone Salesman". ;)

This guy has an amazing talent: he doesn't miss a note, his timing is perfect, and although I don't listen to much opera (heck, I don't really like opera) Paul Potts sounds to me as good as any I have heard.

Go get 'em Paul!

[bojan]

And I am sure he has a lot of musical training and education. Results like that can not be achieved by singing in the shower only....
Having said that, I did not wanted to imply that his singing is any less beautiful, of course...

[Glenhuon]

Thanks for the links guys, don't watch TV so missed the incredible singing. Great voice, the spirit of Harry Secombe and the Welsh tradition of song is alive and well :-)
The little girl has a great talent too, as long as she's not pushed too hard she could go far.

[vindictive666]

morning all

just the latest update on Britains Got Talent

Paul Potts has Won The finals.

Good On Him i Reckon

[Dennis]

Thanks John - I hope that he doesn't get too spoiled or damaged by the ensuing fame and publicity that lies before him. It seems that fame has a way of demeaning and destroying people, unless they are very strong and balanced prior to their exposure to the public.

Cheers

Dennis

[Omaroo]

Jeepers - I've come in late on this one. Truly stunning voice and he epitomises the term "humble".

Go Paul....:thumbsup:

[iceman]

John I've merged your other thread into this one.

[vindictive666]

ok thanks mike

[ballaratdragons]

:lol: I absolutely hate Opera, but there is something special going on here. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Paul Potts. I didn't understand a word of it, but it's hypnotising listening to him!!!!

[vindictive666]

Gday all

And Here Is The Link Of Him Actually Winning

[PeteMo]

Wow! Simon Cowell's response says it all "You are phone salesman, I was n't expecting that!"
I heard that Simon Cowell offered him a record deal before he got to the semi final but cannot confirm that.
Awesome talent. Viva Paul Potts!

[Dennis]

Thanks again for the links John; re-visiting his performances once more has not diluted the incredible emotional intensity one iota. His voice was made in heaven!

Cheers

Dennis

[Omaroo]

Yep Dennis - Same here. I've gone back for more a few times now and still have trouble holding back the odd tear.....:sadeyes:

I'm looking forward to hearing something from the Italians about him......
