This song reminds me of my mother. She passed nearly 2 years now. She loved Paul Potts, and she cried when I showed her this video. Now I cry when I watch it. I miss you ma.
I'm a 61 year old ex-roadie biker and I just sobbed my heart out listening to your sublime singing of La Prima Volta. I was feeling a bit low and sorry for myself this morning, I am severely disabled housebound blah blah blah, I open my tablet and you pop into my feed. I knew I had to watch, especially at this time, as it was recorded at Kiev Opera House. Thank you so much Paul for helping me to feel like life may get us down but it's a heck of a lot better than the alternative lol Oh and hello from London to all in the Ukraine, my love and prayers go out to you 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇦
Anybody from Britain, should be so proud of this man, as his original status, was most humbling, and he has done so well in supporting our country, through out the world.
When you come from the ground level you really feel the highs, all of them, he truly means it. I worked for the same company he did and am still on my way up there,..
I have 3 daughters ...but I have to admit I secretly allways wanted a son ...then at 54 God blessed me with Alfie-George...this song has words in which remind me so much of the first time I saw his face and held him in my arms...I will never forget that first little smile. ❤
Paul Potts not only has the voice of an angel,he is so humble,and sings with such deep genuine emotion.,he touches many hearts in ways that few tenors ever have.
Sorry maar ben je niet een beetje te jong voor een US Navy Veteran.Maakte zelf uit van een speciale eenheid(KCT) maar was wel een paar jaar ouder dan jij dus 17 jaar kan niet.
This is one of the rarer occasions when somebody fulfilled his ambitions, great to see, and wish him all the best for the future, brilliant performance.
The stillness, the total aww & the standing ovation of the audience, says it all. Each & everyone there that evening, will never ever forget it. A totally stunning vocal performance & one of a kind. Thank you Paul.
87 people don't like this. Hmmm, here is a man who took courage, his heart, and passion in both hands tossed them into the air with no way of knowing the outcome and followed his dream. Who cares about his technique, interpretation, or if he's breathing "correctly." Not many of us have the courage to pursue and realize our dreams and live our passions. Bravo, Mr. Potts! Bravo!
Paul, this was one of the best performances I've ever heard in my life. Your singing brings tears to my eyes every single time I hear this. I enjoy listening to your performances more than any other opera singer that has been on stage.
Gotta hand it to you Paul.... From one large tough guy to another.... No one know's how deep this song can hit unless you've been through it all. A joy and sadness all wrapped up into a soulful tear. Blessings buddy.
Knowing his life story makes me enjoy his singing all the more. And I imagine, that he truly cherishes every accolade he receives. He deserves it!! Way to go Paul.....way to go!! So happy you achieved your dream!!
What strikes you When you first hear him Sing, Is the total soul of his voice, ' and not just the power of it. It is so emotionally beautiful, that it transports you to mountains, and lakes, before Even heaven begins.

I've heard certain music critics say that Paul Potts is not a true opera-singer. Well, as far as I am concerned they can keep their opinions to themselves because Mr. Paul Potts is an "Opera-singer". Just because he never had the opportunity to train under an established opera coach does not take away from his given talent. His passion and willingness to give his craft his very best efforts shows in his performances. Bravo - Mr. Potts, keep up your good work!
Now, while eating dinner at my desk, I happened across this one by Paul Potts. I have never heard him sing this one before. Listening, I could not hold back the tears. One of the most beautiful songs in the world. It reminds me of the priceless love I found in my late husband. A medical professional with the most beautiful caring heart I have ever known. Sadly our family lost him much too soon. Paul Potts is a gifted and beautiful human being. Thank you for taking that step to risk and be discovered. So so beautiful.......Priceless.
Paul Potts can sing! His voice was very ‘naked’. It doesn’t sound like his voice is supported by acoustical tricks. The tempo was slow so he really had to hold the note! Of course he does have the orchestra. I just felt like his voice was really out there exposed for all to hear. And it was truly beautiful
Absolut minunat, o voce atât de frumoasă și caldă, oferă publicului tot din el, atâta emoție, ceea ce contează enorm. Ce bine că a participat la concurs, altfel, acest briliant rămânea ascuns omenirii. Un înger cântă pe scenă. ❤
I remember the night Paul courageously came on the stage to share his talent with the world. He gave us his heart and passion, and now, in a win-win situation, his dream has come true to enchant us with his uniquely tender yet strong voice. How lucky we are to be contemporaneous with Paul!
I would like Paul to sing this version: The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless skies, my love To the dark and the endless skies, my love The first time ever I held your hand I felt the earth move in my soul Like the trembling of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command, my love The first time ever I kissed your lips Your heart was so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the world And last until the end of time, my love And last until the end of time, my love
Невероятно прекрасно!!!! Как я хотела бы хоть раз попасть на его концерт! История этого человека просто уникальна, как он сам и его голос. Всего самого лучшего и от всей души !
Paul Potts real personal life. A love at first sight is Gods gift to human being. Everytime I hear Him sing this piece I do remember my personal love atory.
A mi también se me humedecen los ojos cada vez que vuelvo a escuchar este tema. Y no se porqué...pero siento que me emociono mucho... Fue tan grandiosa su presentación en El Teatro de la Opera en Kiev (Ucrania)..que hasta los músicos se muestran felices ante la gran ovación del público. Y felices nosotros también ante tan grande cantante de Opera. saludos desde Lima -Perú...(en plena cuarentena).
I always loved the Roberta Flack version of this song a classic in its own right. Dare I say this is even better, I had forgotten what a superb tenor Paul is. He sings it beautifully and with such passion. The instant standing ovation said it all. Stunning.
With most gratitude i Thank you Sir Pott for lifting me up above today’s world absurdities. Your heavenly voice touches my heart caressing my soul with God’s blessing. Thanks God for you are. 🌹 🕊 💞
I agree with Karin Jongsma, this is the best rendition of this lovely song I have heard. This man has a most lovely and powerful voice. I hope he goes far. He is very enjoyable to hear and he surely must have a great future in music. I was moved by his performance.
I'm not a Opera fanatic but I think Paul has the best voice out of all of them . Even the greats . I don't know what it is but when I play his videos to friends , we all tear up . I don't get that with the others . There is something in his voice that draws emotion .
Splendida voce
A guy selling mobile phones and living in near poverty enters the competition on a coin flip and the rest is history. Amazing!
Amazing!
Wonderful.
This song reminds me of my mother. She passed nearly 2 years now. She loved Paul Potts, and she cried when I showed her this video. Now I cry when I watch it. I miss you ma.

Achieving his dream.❤❤❤❤
Stardust baby ☀️ we each have something unique. No gifts just life if one pursues dream. No biblical bs 💫🥥
What a miracle...

His status , no matter what , has been great since he came into this world... nature...nurture...I've always believed in Paul Pots.
Read his history.
Anybody from anywhere should be proud. Excellent.
Spot on
What a gift 💝
I have 3 daughters ...but I have to admit I secretly allways wanted a son ...then at 54 God blessed me with Alfie-George...this song has words in which remind me so much of the first time I saw his face and held him in my arms...I will never forget that first little smile. ❤

I love his voice, sincerity, interpretation, and humbleness as he sings. He touches my heart and soul. So beautiful. Amazing Gift from God.
Magic!
This beautyful music.
Paul Potts not only has the voice of an angel,he is so humble,and sings with such deep genuine emotion.,he touches many hearts in ways that few tenors ever have.
Ja er ist gut sehr gut
When my soul needs refreshing, I watch your videos. Thank you, God, for this man.
As the Deer pants for the warterbrooks so My Soul pants for You O God!
He is perfect.
What’s really nice is the guy is living his dream , from mobile phone salesman to opera star ...good for him👍

Bellisimo!
Sorry that I'm commenting again, but he truly has a gift from God....amazing!
you are right you know
You are most welcome. He sure has.
por supuesto
Yes this is so
Agreed!
and an Angel sings to God..........
You showed them Paul, opera for the masses not the so called elites
YES!!!!!!! AGREE FULLY, BRAVO PAUL!!!!
I LOVE that this regular Joe is now standing where he is. It makes me want to cry happy tears. It's pure genius to sing this song in another language.
Wie schön seine Stimme ist, höre im gern
You are a diamond, you are the best creation of nature. God kissed you!
Bravo
He used to install car phones and singing was his dream. Never laugh at anyone's dream. Some come true.
So true.....
Dream big, small ones will become reallty. Specially the ones you think LL never happen...
Underdogz on TOP, lay low...
Carphone warehouse doesn't actually mean Car Phones installation, it just means mobile phone sales
When I think of opera, I think of Paul and Luciano. The greats of opera singers.
Thousands of people can't be wrong of what they enjoy. Millions of people who buy his albums have to know what sounds good to their ears.
Sometime Angels visit this planet in fysical form. Thank You Paul. In Respect.
This is one of the rarer occasions when somebody fulfilled his ambitions, great to see, and wish him all the best for the future, brilliant performance.
Well done that man! From car phone salesman to World Class opera singer. Beat that.
A very deep soul is in his voice, so clear and rich, such a gift to me hearing this.
A depth of expression and emotion that is real
Perfectly said
The stillness, the total aww & the standing ovation of the audience, says it all.
Each & everyone there that evening, will never ever forget it.
A totally stunning vocal performance & one of a kind.
Thank you Paul.
ポール ポッツさん。ステキですね。イギリスのオーデション番組で知りました。ひとを感動させる歌声ですが、それはポールさんの心にあるのでしょうね。
Paul sings from his heart and soul
Probably the best opera singer to listen to for a bit of peace while all around us there is mayhem all over the world

The negative critics are" wanna be singers that never "made it." Jealously is why they did not like this performance.
Paul, this was one of the best performances I've ever heard in my life. Your singing brings tears to my eyes every single time I hear this. I enjoy listening to your performances more than any other opera singer that has been on stage.

Wow apik lheeeeh
They gave him a standing ovation, no need to say more. Bravo! Paul

Instant standing ovation...and well deserved.

Those same people also rejected Andrea Boceli when he first became well known because he wasn't a trained opera singer.
He is better off
Some people have to learn to sing and other are Born with it live Paul Potts ❤
Mesmerising. Breathtakingly beautiful. What an angelic voice, what emotions!

I remember some opera buff saying Paul couldn't sing op[era.. There is a lo lot of snobbery around opera. This is superb from Paul.
An ordinary man with an extra ordinary Voice living the dream !
Viděla jsem jeho pěvecké začátky ve filmu ŽIVOTNI SˇANCE-původně prodavač mobilů a pěvecká soutěž ho vystřelila na vrchol.Zpívá božsky!
Absolut minunat, o voce atât de frumoasă și caldă, oferă publicului tot din el, atâta emoție, ceea ce contează enorm. Ce bine că a participat la concurs, altfel, acest briliant rămânea ascuns omenirii. Un înger cântă pe scenă. ❤

Makes you believe there is still hope for the human race, heaven sent musical ecstasy.

Yes, hope that art still lives, even in this age and time.
His pitch his powerful voice..... AMAZING
I would like Paul to sing this version:
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
The first time ever I held your hand
I felt the earth move in my soul
Like the trembling of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command, my love
The first time ever I kissed your lips
Your heart was so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the world
And last until the end of time, my love
And last until the end of time, my love
Yeah, Ewan MacColls lyrics from the 1950s. What an artist!
Невероятно прекрасно!!!! Как я хотела бы хоть раз попасть на его концерт! История этого человека просто уникальна, как он сам и его голос. Всего самого лучшего и от всей души !

Paul Potts real personal life. A love at first sight is Gods gift to human being. Everytime I hear Him sing this piece I do remember my personal love atory.
What emotions. Have not heard this song sound ever so beautiful as this.
All the top Opera singers have an aria that's a perfect match ; this is Paul at his best.!!!!!!!!!!!
If I could hit like a hundred times it still would not be enough to explain how I feel about this performance.
This performance brought tears to my eyes.. amazing voice!
Yes you'r right! beautifull voice!
