He deserved to win. Love it. Humanity is alive .

I cry when I watch his audition. Such glorious sound! Such talent.

Still crying today when I listen it.

I have to see this audition about every 4 months. It renews my faith in humanity. Uplifting.

I have watched this a few times since the actual show and I am still in awe of the performance, from the moment he hits the first note he became a superstar, still brings tears to my eyes.

I really love how he sing so smoothly

I have to say that Paul's singing is one of my favorite things to watch on KZfaq over and over again. Something genuine is rare.

Paul. You flipped the shit out of the judges. Bravo Paul. Bravo. My you have the future in your hands. Sir. I command you.

Simon & the rest of the Audience learned that old saying " Never Judge a Book By it's Cover

As soon as Paul Potts opened his mouth, my first thought was "My gosh, he is a world class tenor." I was not proven wrong.

His talent is undeniable and his humility is very attractive

When I first saw this I was blown away

Every time I see Paul bow at the end of his first performance, it gives me the feeling of his being "above the rest" and "humble" at the same time. lol

The most honest documentation about something epic ever, touching us all at deepest roots... Thank you so much all !

The first time Amanda hears his voice, her eyes were as wide as they could go. It was like what..?! The second time they show here, you can see the emotion building inside her. And then later they show her literally in tears. The emotion this man puts forth is palpable to say the least. What an amazing talent. I and dare I say the world is glad the coin turned up heads!

What a gift he has!!! Loved hearing him way back when he first appeared and still believe he's so very gifted with a fantastic voice!!!!

Very touching to listen to the great singer. Absolutely beautiful - thanks a million Paul.

Paul potts makes me cry all the time... i love this guy!

Goosebumbs over here also, every time I hear him sing. Truely great voice. Maybe a bit tence that first time, but the greatness of his voice was undeniable.

From being in a warehouse selling phones to a multi millionare touring the world what an incredible voice.

I watched this now and when it got to his singing Nessun Dorma I wept like a baby, again. Wow!

i love this guy.... he makes me cry every time i hear him

You deserve all the accolades paul!

His humility sets him apart. Delightful!

Love Paul Potts voice, saw him on stage (Windsor, Ontario) a few years ago and also watched the movie about him. His character was played by James Corden.

WONDERFUL natural talent Thank-you Paul also U Tube for playing this.

This truely brought tears to my eyes. It's just a shame he started later in his life. You have time to make it up. Use it Paul. Truely use it all.

Magie ...reine Magie ...diese Stimme verzaubert

All the best to Mr Paul Potts , absolutely amazing , nothing wrong with success as long as you enjoy the road there , just a humble gentleman

❤ beautiful work by him and compelling in his performance!!

I AM A ROCKER I APPRECIATE AND RESPECT ALL MUSIC THIS MAN HAD ME IN TEARS

Paul, you are a true inspiration! Awesome singer and more importantly...a genuinely great guy!!!

Mr. Paul Potts hi is a brilliant Opera Singer.👌🎼👍🎶❤ I love this Song Nesum Dorma.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏❤

Paul said that his idol was Mario Lanza and he did a concert in his honor. Anyone who likes Paul's performance should listen to Mario sing. It is one of the great experiences of life and there are many videos available, Paul is correct in idolizing Lanza. Who else but Mario Lanza could sing this with such passion? He was the most versatile tenor of all time. He sang lyric opera magnificently as he did popular songs; perform on the stage and screen, radio and television. There has never been anyone like him before or after who also had an amazing influence on singers and performers everywhere. A new, bestselling book, “A KID FROM PHILADELPHIA, MARIO LANZA, THE VOICE OF THE POETS,” is a wonderful homage to one of the greatest entertainers of all time. It is a must for anyone who loves Lanza and great music and great voices

Very eye opening! I hadn't realized what an intense story this was for not only Paul Potts, but for the entire BGT production as well. Brilliant editing work.

He makes me cry too... Incredible...

Paul Potts is incredible

You are an inspiration .

Such a beautiful humble man.

Absolutely fabulous well done Paul

His voice and his heart did that. Paul stay to be Paul.

this might be the first youtube video in a year that i have seen with 0 dislikes....impressive

Goosebumps the whole time good guys finish first for once God bless you

when he opened his arms and sang "Vinceroooo!!"....i was hearing "y'all my bitches now!!!"

Very beautiful!!!

it is because of Paul Potts that I appreciate opera but again, I only listen operas that are sung by Paul Potts

I just finished to see the muvie about potts,ooohhh mi god what a life had this dude really.The guy deserve all the good things that hapends to him lately.Im so glad for him and all this hapends becose of his wife too indeeed

Canta muy bien y con mucho sentimiento que llega al corazon !!

Something about Paul and Susan,that captures the hearts of people around tge world, They were under dogs,and were judged,on their appearances,by the audience and the judges. Simon admitted he did this ,he felt bad about Susan,and gave her a change to become a super star . Both were humble,and were bullied for many years,even to adulthood. That’s why we love them both, that’s why they captured our hearts, I can’t think of any other two people who had an impact.

what makes him the best at it is that he was singing for his audience not for the judges. he want it a chance to let that musical force to be release from his chest to the world of reality. jesse

The dance group was dope. I hope they continued onto success...

Fantastic ❤

Thanks simply awesome!

Ant and Dec tell a funny story about Paul Pott's audition in that Ant and Dec didn't even bother to interview Paul or even watch his performance. They went to the canteen for a sandwich when their meal was rudely interrupted by a standing ovation. You can see them sheepishly show up as Paul walks off stage.

The very very humble genius

Wonderful compilation of video and commentary.

thank you

Perfectionism speak "I felt their was too much tension in the top and i thought i had blown it" Above Average people think this way and no one ever noticed the overal performance was brilliant to them and compard to the rest he was outstanding and they stood in appreciation, this way of thinking keeps them small yet look at a product like a computer and all the Bugs they would of had in the first versions yet they sold them any way and now look. It is good to be a perfectionist in some ways because when work is thin on the ground you will still have work yet perfectionist tend to pick on them selves for not achieving enough and beat them selves up and become alcoholics and isolated unless they are around intelligent kind people there aren't many of those around not enough anyway. Good on ya Paul you stood you gave and u were appreciated People do not appreciate the talents they are given and write them off as ho hum so what : ( It has taken me 54 years to appreciate the talents i was given developed what ever you want to say, i used to think nothing of them now i do but is it too late ? Of course not one last chance : )

Golden cold - forbidden erik, the fly , who is once anď next our friend

Never judge a book by its cover, Paul Potts , Susan Boyle . That's all I can say, apart from good on you two . If you believe in yourself, You can do anything even climb Mount Everest .

Made me cry /and I am a tuff fecker!

@nejacne68 He sang it for himself. If you've had a down-trodden life, lacked self-confidence and had a particular gift that few people knew about (he never sang in front of his co-workers), this is the perfect platform. Hit or miss, it would define his life forever. It was a hit...

@leshager Listen vacuum brain: Paul Potts is a talent it can never change, no matter how many years pass. Performances live forever.

WELL DONE PAUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know the one that was going to make the most money for Simon would win! But besides that, Paul deserved to win. What a talent.

He is Welsh. Music is in his blood.

The song, "You Raise Me Up," was written by Rolf Lovland from Norway (originally as an instrumental piece), and the lyrics are by Brendan Graham from Ireland...It's based on a traditional Irish tune, and it's been recorded over 125 times...

Bravo!

klo mr potts bicara keliatan banget dia humble dan smart

3:12 he is truly a musician to the point where he heard that tension.

Oh, sorry, I didn't answer the initial question...Paul Potts' version is sung in Italian...

Has Paul ever commented on the fact that his most dangerous competitor was a six year old girl?

I like you very very much

Connie was cute. But the cuteness fades, and she would have gotten annoying very very quickly. Paul's performance is timeless.

I know very little opera, he sings most of what I know...Susan Boyle, The Three Tenors,

Schöne Dokumentation des "Märchens" Paul Potts!

not usually

8:08 - "Little, sweet Connie was coming up the rear very quickly." Say WHAT??? What kind of show are you Brits running????? I mean, she was only SIX YEARS OLD, for crying out loudly! YOU PERVS!!!!! ;)

i still think he is just as good as Paverotti

i feel thats the british way of life we are after all an island race do or die

U show them paul.

Subtitulado por fa

I need a cig and I don't smoke

Was Paul Pots the first who got standing ovation on the show?

shit tht amanda is hott

that was not an opera crowd either!

Why are the audience allowed to boo or heckle a contestant before they perform?

Stop judging people by their looks ...time and time again this continues on thesecshows

He is good.. compared to Pavarotti would be an insult!

You guys rolls your eyes way too often, you keep judging the book even long time before buying it.....Poul Potts, Susanne Boyle, Jonathan and I don't remember her name, sorry.....you keep up being jerks, because you think you're so perfect yourself....I like the show, but you actually ruins it....maybe you like to laugh at people in public....you should be slapped....remember that
