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 .

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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...

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.

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

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

Go Paul....

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!!!!

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!

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

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

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