BGT FINAL -Paul Potts

[@MegaLJ3]

The man deserves every bit of success he gets and should not be compared to any other opera star. He is his own voice.

[@sasa321brasnik9]

Opera singers have a lot a special expensive education, experience etc . Paul had none, struggled all his life. He’ll get better. Blessings!

Just watched the movie about Paul Potts.. Fantastic that he won and a movie was made about him. My grandpa was a huge opera lover, and my mother used to sing opera. Awesome!

[@deceiver123m]

Im watching the movie right now, Its really cool they made a movie about this guy, Im happy he got to shine in the career he dreamed of having.

[@kamydowney9251]

Which is the name of the movie

[@madperson876]

@@kamydowney9251 It's called 'One Chance'. It stars James Corden as Paul and it makes me cry every time I watch it. The movie starts right at when he was a child all the way up to when he was an adult and meeting his wife. It was brilliant.

[@qrit91]

He earned every penny that came to him, pure talent.

[@julieannejoolz]

I love how Paul was so humble, he went through so much in his life to get to here, God Bless Him..he deserves all the success he has had, what a true winner he is! ❤

[@davidwalsh3439]

People like Paul Potts bring this type of music to people who wouldn't normally listen to it. He has an amazing voice and is such a natural person. I'm sure there are the musical snobs who will put him down. I think he is gifted and long may be reign.

[@Stephenwc]

I'm one of those people who would otherwise never listen to opera. It's actually his earnestness, tone of innocence (and probably not really knowing the real meaning of the words -which are actually a bit arrogant?) and his complete lack of pretentiousness that brings the most feeling and power. That's also a commentary on why I generally do not like opera since those who are probably more talented also bring a different attitude/comportment.

[@zbip]

This man is singing for his life, what an inspiring performance!!!

[@rustydusters]

God bless this show for handing Paul an opportunity to live his dreams.

[@emailvonsour]

Except he just does concerts. What happened to his dream to sing opera? lol

[@noirjacques3274]

Along with the magnificence of all of Paul’s performances came something beautifully prophetic from his 1st BGT song audition; the English translation of Nessun Dorma’s concluding lyrics is “I Will Win” ... and so well deserved too!

[@claireincanada7900]

He touched my heart. He deserved to win this audition. 👏

[@Stephenwc]

He seemed to exude a humility and it gave such power and authenticity to his amazing voice. I listened to this the first time two years ago (and then again and again). I just came back and it's just as powerful this time around.

[@kenporich2006]

What an incredibly humble guy...that was given the voice of an angel. Such a great success story. God bless him.

[@MultiDudek1]

I have followed Paul through the entire competition his talent remained hidden for so many years and emerged as the winner in great competition. Through the magic of You Tube his success can be followed.Evidence how God blesses the least. He now gives of himself in many places he never expected to ever share his talent.

[@xsitegaming1]

best ever winner of any talent show...

[@jamescutler9229]

I love that when he turned up in the auditions nobody had any idea what he could do and yet he’s brought us all together via the power of music and song. I mean it’s now 2020 and yet it sounds better every time I hear him.

[@bugebug]

Beautiful voice. Never judge a book by it's cover!

[@gagambangkuryente]

paul potts has given opera popularity to people not normally interested nor blessed enough to be introduced to it. paul potts, you are a hero in more ways than one. an inspiration to so many as well. dwight, from the philippines.

[@Seattlelol1955]

This simply never gets old. Not only is nessun Dorma one of those great arias, but Mr. Potts puts his entire soul into it. Makes the hairs stand up on my arms. Bravo, Mr. Potts, bravo!

[@sammiesimon1725]

He was such a humble man, and I’m so grateful and honoured that he came forward and had the courage to sing, what an amazing person, god bless him forever x

[@tinachandler3091]

This gives me chills every time I hear this. It's my favorite piece....beautiful!

[@Arshak73]

you know this guys good when he nearly brings you to tears.

[@Stephenwc]

[only] nearly? Just amazing voice and earnestness in delivery.

[@tamarac9868]

The next generation of greatness, and he seems very humble.

[@therantingboy]

I wish people would shut up till the end so I can hear him bloody sing

[@ricardopuma9386]

then listen to his album

[@dfahey154]

+Ricardo Puma No. The audience should stfu; like you should. Ever go to a concert where the crowd claps and cheers before the act is over? Nope!!

[@therantingboy]

Ricardo Puma Mmm, that's not really the point I was making. I wanted to hear him sing on the video. I wanted to experience that particular live performance. Also the broader point being that noone in the audience is actually listening. They're just screaming and whooping.

[@truthbetold5662]

+TheRantingBoy agreed, save the cheers for the end and pay attention to the song

[@JSmellerM]

+Ricardo Puma It's actually considered rude if you cheer during the performance in an opera.

[@normajeanmorrissey4459]

Paul is the best. Love to listen to him sing. He holds his audience captive while he serenades us. Even saw a brief piece of video where Simon appeared mesmerized by the performance.

[@murraywood7480]

So correct To be as human as he is , is simply an added bonus to his already underlying talent , He also kept me spellbound . Such magic in every aspect & a total pleasure to watch.Thank you Paul so much.. Peggy Wood (Dinas Powys S.E. Cymru)

[@corkycobon1481]

He brings me to tears every time I hear him sing this. Pavarotti claps from heaven evey time Paul sings this.

[@Fishhunter2014]

I don't always listen to opera, but when I do, I prefer Paul Potts.

[@DzikiKlapek]

IMHO it is better than Pavarotti, but this is my personal opinion and does not intend to troll anyone here

[@lisaviolet7180]

This is so moving, from initial audition to the final. Paul Potts's voice, humilty, and gift are supreme.

[@TheProspektsTV]

It kinda pisses me off how Pierce said "you turned up in a horrible suit, and i rolled my eyes to simon" how could you judge someone by how expensive there clothes are… shows what kinda guy he was then.

[@heartiswounded]

£30 the suit cost from Tesco. Paul had an accident that kept him off work for 1yr before audition so he had big financial problems. Now worth about 8million pound, could buy all the suits in Saville Row.

[@TheProspektsTV]

***** Yea its great to see, just don't like how he was treated when he first walked on stage, the movies great too.

[@reykii]

Judge was hoping for an investment banker with hidden talent

[@Yoti1980]

Pavarotti would have tipped his hat to this one! Amazing!

[@nicoletube4918]

Why does his singing make me cry?

[@RAY296]

+Protazoid1 Because its a song about desire, wanting to triumph, win. And its coming from a man who appears to have made himself vulnerable and its given him strength. A truly beautiful thing

[@catherineabellanosa2118]

Because he feels the song as he sings. So even if the audience/listeners couldn't understand the words, Paul's delivery of the song made them feel the message they conveyed.

[@adan3598]

ME TOO

[@salembik]

I bawl because it’s so beautiful. A gift from God

[@willease]

How I was never an opera fan all this time shames me. Beautiful and soul touching.

[@Ihdc1]

+willease Potts is actually a terrible example of operatic singing. For real opera look up Nessun Dorma by Pavarotti or Corelli.

[@rosenti]

+Ihdc1 "Operatic".. You find it terrible in comparison. That's okay. Good thing musical taste is subjective. Technique however, isn't.

[@emailvonsour]

@@rosenti It's terrible technique.

[@rosenti]

@@emailvonsour Yeah.. Opera a practice that prolongs your vibrato and capacity to hold a note. What a terrible thing to learn for a musician.

[@robertdiotalevi2882]

When Paul sang this in his audition IT WAS ALL OVER!

[@HIMADESU223]

I don't understand why one says to all "He/ she is good but is nothing compared to the great". In a way, that is an insult to music itself. When someone says " Now that's a benchmark performance!", or "That's how it should be played or sang", it's in insult to music and makes music look poor. There's millions of ways to play and feel it, not just one.

[@fantick21]

Grandisimo!, he escuchado a los tres tenores cantando esto y Potts les da la vuelta!! que sentimiento!
