    Why do people have to try and destroy people’s success, do they have nothing else to do, boring. He deserved his success, hard work, integrity and passion have rewarded him . Well done.

    It’s an eye opener and honour to hear about the life of Paul Potts. Not only does he share his beautiful voice with the world but he takes advantage of his public position to inform people of charities that need support. I have a tremendous respect for this special human being. He’s a class act!

    I often listened to him merely thinking he had a great voice and how much I envied him that and thought that way for years then a few years ago I came across a clip of him singing in the Kiev theatre singing La Prima Volta. It was then I realized that this man went beyond just a great voice and elevated him to a standard few others will ever meet. My favourite male singer is Bocelli but Potts' talent has pushed him onto that same pedestal IMHO. A lovely bloke with the most beautiful vocal cords who has worked hard to please his fans and never failed to do so. What a voice!

    I have nothing but admiration for Paul Potts. His voice may be mediocre when compared to the tenor greats but his determination, stickability, humility and consideration for the well-being of those less fortunate is worthy of anybody's praise. If only the commentary of this film were half as attractive. Until artificial intelligence technology is developed which produces accurate pronunciation, please, please have a human being do the commentary.

I am sure that Mr Potts would be the first to agree that his name should not be uttered in the same breath as Pavarotti, Florez, Caruso, Bjorling, Domingo or Carreras, to mention but a few. I don't understand why you are so incensed, everything else I said was complimentary to Mr Potts and I wish him nothing but continued success.

    Wasn't he accused of not being an amateur when he went on BGT. I did like the movie they made about his life I remember in the movie he went to a school where Pavarotti didn't think much of him. People said Opera in general where snooty people didn't like anyone performing it except in an Opera setting funny after Paul Pavarotti and others started to perform in non-classical music settings or Operas.
