Best of luck to him in the live final on Sunday.
Please don't bother making shallow superficial remarks - it ain't clever, funny or interesting.
Offensive remarks will be removed, as will ones promoting websites or services.
For all those that seem to think Paul is a pro in disguise, please realise the following. (or maybe just unfamiliar with what an opera singer or opera company is).
- 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.....
It is 2023 and I am listening to this old edition again. He seems like an unassuming man with so much natural talent.
Paul is the reason i Got married with my husband. The great consert in copenhagen to see him, ended up in 15,5 yr beeing together and married for 12,5 yrs ❤❤❤thats s why our romantic anniversaries always is with Music and Pauls opera
I had the privilege of hearing him in person.
I am so glad that Paul; someone that was left isolated and bullied at school without knowing why, was presented with this opportunity to show his true talents in this show. He got his chance and he took it and earned the respect that he deserves. This teaches us that every different or strange or bullied person has something they have special that they don't always have the chance to show. Amazing job Paul!
Correct
Exactly. It seems that for some of us is necessary to go through hard times to blossom our gifts later
14 Years after, I still can`t stop watching this grandious talent from the Island! Best wishes from Germany!
Right there with ya
Me too. It’s beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes. I would slap a sob silly if they made fun of him
@@benblair7510 me too his voice is so soothing , hope he is doing well and his wife too!!!
Me too ! And there is even a biograph movie about him, called “Tag”. Wow, i am still in tears 🥹👌🏻🥰so beautifully sung, brings back memories 🥹❣️🤩
@@lillysdanceworld watching now, on tv, in The Netherlands. Movie about him, called ' One Chance'....
For all of us who were mistrreated as kids, thank you for being the best.
You're not alone :)
I was adopted from my mother's arms to the orphanage 1 a name.
By the time I was 10 my own
Personality was developing. I çould never do anything right. Weapons of a Catholic family was slaps across the face kneeling in the corner, going to bed and yes that damn wooden coat hanger. That was the physical abuse. The mental abuse is stored away. The result was that I spent the first half of my life in n abusive marriage and 2 abusive relationships after one almost killed me by coíncidence I found the Baha'i Faith and I no longer destroy my life, I am at peace. Ps I live with struggles
of mania and depression.
So sorry to hear !
Beautiful sentiment 💖
Thank you so much ❤️🤍 (from 11 years later to your comment)
I'm a 55 year old man, and Paul's voice and his life story bring me to tears.
You’re 65 now
Eerie silence
@@flapjack8779 lol
I doubt you're 65 and called Cody greens moms broken vibrator
Or more...
Paul Potts is one of the lucky ones to survive the kinds of bullying and hatred many children are subjected to just because he was different in ways I bet his bullies cannot even put into words. It makes me wonder how many victims of bullying never got the chance or simply never tried to succeed because they were so crushed by the experience. Score 1 for a nice guy,
Absolutely astounding. Better than the professionals. The common man's opera singer.
Какие у него грустные и добрые глаза одновременно. И улыбка скромного человека. Поет великолепно.
I'd vote for him again today if I could, best performance of bgt's history
And this is what makes his performances so heartfelt - the pain he endured as a child, from teasing and bullying, he channeled into his talent… this is how one succeeds
I have watched paul potts on these videos many times, the audition, the semi-finals, and the Final! I never get tired of it. Paul your Amazing, Humble and an Act of Class!
Thank you so much for walking to the place you walked to raise money for Haiti! God gave to you and you give back. I wish alot of people would do this, because if they did we would have a much better world!Teresa from the US
After he won and went on Tour I saw him in Boston and he was magnificent! I love his original CD it was fabulous. I hope he is doing well today.
This guy! my favorite is still his audition. Not over produced or coached, just his pure talent. Best wishes always Paul!
I know this is from many years ago, but I HAVE to comment here. I was fighting tears as Paul sang (I love to sing this song too), because I know what a struggle he had in his life. He did not deserve any of the hardships he suffered up until he auditioned for BGT, and then his life changed for the better, which was not really a surprise, because he was brimming over with talent. I applaud him as I did on his first appearance, and then at this performance, and I have applauded him ever since and will continue to do so. I am so pleased he got that standing ovation. Long may he reign as a much loved singer, a special guy, an ordinary one, whose determination won him a rightful place in the world of entertainment. I would offer a belated thank you to the judges too, for seeing his potential from the start.
Everybody stand up for this guy. Absolutely breathtaking!!!
Greetings from Greece to our british friends.
It is lovely and wonderful to see Paul Potts with his gorgeous, god-given voice coupled with his beautiful and humble spirit. It takes my breath away to see such an undeniable display of of God's gifts in this man. How can anyone not be inspired?
15 yrs this audition still moves me up&down
A star in EVERY sense of the word, and a lovely guy.
I watched the film 🎥 about him. James Corden played him. It was so moving and I will never rest again if I cannot say how well and truly talented this man is. Love his voice. He also sends a very good message. Bullying is not going to win. Well done Paul on your fame and success, which you so much deserve 👏👏👏👄
my god audience please hold your applause untill the end damn.
Mungo- Blazzing saddles,camping scene
Let them cheer!
That's what I was thinking, let him sing then cheer ffs! Utter cretins
Agree, Baquett. The little moment of 'awe' would say so much.
Like seriously. It doesn't take a genius to know to wait till the end haha
Wish I could mute the audience so I can hear that amazing voice better.
Illuminalien Mantis Seriously, these damn shows turn up the fake audience volume and the damn audience clips more than they show the performers I can't stand it.
Illuminalien Mantis buy his CD's! :)
buy the cd
mee too
@@dbrownick most people are too cheap ... Spotify lol
Still one of the best ever on any talent show period.
I've been watching Paul's career unfold for over a decade and a half now, and it belatedly dawned on me that he wasn't simply getting better: when he first stepped up on the BGT stage, whether he realised it or not, he was stepping through a door, leaving his old life behind, and walking into a new world. He doesn't simply dig down deep into himself when he sings: he seems to surrender himself to his instrument, his talent, and lets it out, so that he's probably as much of a spectator as the rest of us to his own talent. His instinct for beauty is something that goes far beyond raw talent or even words. I've heard a good many singers over the years (classical), and only a handful who had something truly transcendent, that's more then the sum total of its parts. It's an insult to say that this mixture of talent and hard work is god-given. It's the man himself who's something special.
I watched his story in the movie "One Chance" tonight and that MADE ME CRY because it's got great true and tough story .... I really hope that all my dreams comes true just like his dreams.
Mohammed - Saudi Arabia
Ya Mohammed - Inshallah! 🙌
Me too 😢😢
Mohammed Alghamdi your dreams will come true! Write them down and every day repeat them as if they have already happened!
Same!
WOW!!! It's amazing when someone can convert someone who doesn't even like opera into an opera fan!!!!! Paul you are amazing!!!!!
Вот так просто вышел и порвал зал))) Молодец! Вот он - певец из народа! Браво!
Absolutely incredible! I am stunned by his magnificent voice every time I see/hear him perform! I can't explain it, but everything just stops when he sings. You're out of this world, Paul! God bless you and your amazing talent! Never stop singing!
He is so special and so humble,,,very hard combination to find in today's world!
"I realised i am somebody. I´m Paul Potts.."
Which i knew the rest of the world, including me would follow that message.
This man and his voice is just amazing. Saw him in concert in Reykjavík Iceland today. I'm deeply touched :D
10 Years ago, never forget. This Story is amazing.
Just watched the movie ‘one chance’ and absolutely loved it
Watched it tonight … just magic stuff 🥲
Damn eye drops😆! The original and, years on, still one of the absolute best. Brilliantly talented and beautifully modest, Paul. Amanda wasn’t the only one whose eyes welled up👌👌👌
Paul Potts ist the King of Opera ❤🎹❤🙏🙏🙏
Anita Mrohs Pavarotti is the king. However this güy is the Prince
As Piers said the programme brings true talents like Paul's to the world. Simon Cowell may have a head and ego as big as a planet but we must thank him for bringing these otherwise uknowns to the masses! I see Paul has cd's out now, superb!
He said once, in response to the critics, that he "just wants to sing." Let him sing with that beautiful voice and expressive face. The world still wants more of you, Paul!
what a lovely man such a gift he has bless you
Have watched this many times over the past two years, it still makes me shiver. Something I can't describe, something in his voice, something gets to me everytime. It's a very emotional experience.
This performance was beyond stupendous! My favorite part of the segment though, is when he says, "I'm Paul Potts." I am so glad that talent wins out.
A mobile phone salesman goes opera just amazing no one found him sooner, what a gift 💝
Love this guy!
still Amazing.........played this at my Grandads funeral.......tears tears tears stll...RIP Grandad
This is so extraordinary. It's easy to see why the world is crazy about Paul Potts. No matter who wins BGT this year, there's only one Paul Potts.
The only singer that makes me cry I’m 78 and no one else can do it. Bless you Paul.
Thank goodness for that little bit different - the difference was pure musical joy. What a find!
Paul Potts is the most perfect singer !
His voice is soft and strong at the same
time, he has the right sensitivity for the songs he sings, he's wonderful, he gives me the goosebumps every single time !
As Simon Cowell says, its magic !
wonderful personality and someone who's capable of singing with his heart.
Look how young everyone is...
Paul is more than FABULOUS! He is a SUCCESS Story all way ‘round!
Dear Paul, being different means being an original. Thank God you are!
Simon:"I don't know what it is about you..."
Exactly! Somehow his voice clicks something in heart, stirring emotions and trembling the body. It's like coming from inside, not outside.
His eyes hold so much pain. I cried.
Life tough you to be strong and it made you to be where you are now, I dont know if you have the time to read my opinion about you, but you have inspired so many life since you have become in this world, who knows if you even have saved life too, I got all your cds and I play them as much as I can, God bless you Paul, my birthday is coming on the 5th of September Saturday and I will listening you I will be 81, but as old as I am, my heart has an open space to love you, God Bless you and I wonder how does Mr. Pavarotti feels now about you how good you are RIP Mr. Pvarotti,
God Bless Him..
Lottery
This guy is fantastic, he's real talent.
Fantastic Paul.keep singing.Very proud of you!!!!!!!
Such a beautiful person and so humble too. So happy the he got the chance to change his life. Bravo maestro !
This man has a perfect voice! Beautiful!
An absolute winner,well deserved success, couldn't be happier for Paul and his wife
I was 11 when I first heard him sing and the novelty has never worn off. I’m now 24 and still love him. Xx
Has anyone watched the film "One Chance"? It's a true story all about Paul Potts's life right from when he was younger and focusing on his bullying when he was younger and an adult and leading through his entire life all up to when he auditioned for BGT. It had James Corden as Paul and it was brilliant!
Just watched it tonight and loved it! 🥲🥲
@@littlemiss80s88 I never realised that he had been through so much in his life! But I love it too - it's a really interesting take on it :)
I'm at a low in my life 14 years after your edition, and I have so much more enthusiasm for my meeting tommorow that can make or break my company, you are so inspiring, thank you
There is and will continue to be great talent in this world,
His voice is just.... it's just beautiful. This performance moved me.
such a lovely character is this a pretty humble young man as Paul Potts is.... Its a true pleasure watch u again and again etc etc....
you can see the power this music has on him thru hus eyes Remarcable!!!
There are so many people super-talented that don't open up to others because they were bullied when young, become too shy and unaware of the change they can make, if we could only find it in ourselves to be more accepting, more permisive, to not judge someone by their looks but by their spirit, i'm sure this world would be such a great place to live in!Thank you, Paul! You made me cry again:)
this gives me massive chills from the time he opens his mouth... his emotions make this so thrilling. it is so genuine I eel it from the beginning... and then of course the music was the right choice for his victory song.
It's a shame people have forgotten about talent in our society, people, including me are sucked into this new age of music where the singers and rappers aren't actually talented, but we like them merely because of how the music sounds. However, Paul is an extremely talented individual, Paul you are an inspiration to all of us!
One of my favorite arias. Crying still, years later.
He gives chills what a talent 🤩
I saw Paul in Boston within months of BGT. He was fantastic.
Great for him. I love seeing people like this succeed and overcome all the odds. It gives everyone hope.
Paul's voice carries you straight into the DIVINE.....'heavenly realm'....truly a very special gift!
Und beim Finale gab es kein Halten mehr! Begeisterungsrufe und Standing Ovations für diesen Ausnahmekünstler, dem das Leben lange genug schwer mitgespielt hatte und der nunmehr ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit erfahren durfte!
Die besten Wünsche für eine weitere, glanzvolle Karriere! 👍💖💖
This performance is absolutely amazing. God Bless you Paul, you are an inspiration to millions!!!!
tears all through the movie. what a great gift from God.
You have always been SOMEBODY Paul.
From Houston Texas, USA, i could hear Paul Potts everyday for a pick me up. I got chills when I heard him the first day.
This makes me cry for some reason every time.
Fantastic voice!
The audience loved him here and I do too.
I feel sorry for his critics, they cant experience the sheer emotion of the thing.
That's not a talent, that's a gift from God.
Talent is a gift from God
Imagine working for years, decades even, sacrificing so much honing your craft to be the best that you can be. You're up on that stage receiving earnest praise for your efforts, and then God steps in and is like, "Nope, that's me. I did that."
true
You know it your right on
@Richard Jones imagine being so blind and shallow that you are so nauseously engrossed in yourself and the fact it’s all about who I am that you do not realise your God given gifts come from God and bring Glory to God and joy to others, it’s a pretty sickening outlook.
i cant stop listening to his singning its soo wonderful the way he sings i whould too get his autograph one day
He is just awesome. Excellent voice and very sweet.
every time I'm feeling down I always watch these Paul Potts vids - amazing!
Dear Pual, you are the HERO !! Thanks be to god for giving him such a talent and voice.
This was the first time I'd heard this song. Unforgettable!!!
He is talented, humble, kind, adorable, and a lovely man. He has so many good qualities. Just love him!
Paul Potts for 2019 super bowl halftime show
I get goosebumps whenever he does the booming voice part. wow simply amazing
There will never ever be anyone as humble , nor talented as Paul Potts on any talent show again 💯💯💯
it's one thing to hear the original song, but this songs goes right into me, just feeling what paul's been through in his youth and everything, and how he's so damn passionate about music, this is the only singer that's actually made me drop a tear.
Watched the Movie last night on Netflix - One Chance- Great Story and Congrats Paul- for NEVER giving up!
That was simply amazing! I love his voice. He is incredibly talented.
seen this like 50 times and EVERY TIME it gives me gooes bumps.
A real nice man with a fantastic voice. Long may you go from strength to strength.
Love it! A great inspiration.
Paul, your not just somebody-your an AMAZING somebody!!!
I love opera and Paul Potts voice is fantastic. I watch him singing every day.
You are the most beautiful voice and person since the first time I saw you on AGT. Stay humble my friend.
