You can't dislike or hate this man. He is so humble and all he wants is to sing. Congratulations Mr. Potts and keep on living this dream of yours. 👏👏👏👏

I can’t understand why Mr. Potts is being compared to other tenors. Each one has a different tone to their voice which makes them unique. I’m 76 years old and first fell in love with opera as a child when I heard Mario Lanza sing for the first time. It was Paul Potts who made me fall in love with it all over again. God bless you Mr. Potts for that. You have an incredible gift. Always be thankful for it.

Today I was walking in to Kensington High Street Tube Station and I recognized Paul Potts, had the guts to speak to him and express my admiration for him. This is by far one of the most wonderful human beings I have ever met. I am still taken back by meeting such a genius

Since I discovered this man….I’m trying to find strength:reason to continue this journey of life. At 69 and struggling on all fronts. But Mr. Potts brings me smiles , tears, and reason. God Bless Paul.

We don't need to compare him to anyone else. If you listen to him and his voice makes you happy like it did me, for what ever reason, then that's all that matters. Well done Paul. My wife and I bought your album as soon as it was released after the competition. We still love it after a decade.

This is one man who deserves a good life.

ポールさんって東日本大震災の後、日本に応援に来てくれてたんだ！ ありがたいね🙏 もっと好きになりました。

GOD graced the earth with another GREAT Opera Singer in Paul Potts - Merci Mon Dieu!!!

A man who saw himself more than he was then realized a dream... inspired more than one to do the same. Well done Sir Potts well done..

It’s amazing to see how much his technique has grown since his audition. You go, dude. 👏🏼👏🏼

A lot of people can sing loud or With Power, But Never have the same beautiful quality to their voice as 'Paul Potts', has. He is truly Unique. the big difference is that he has got a lovely sound. All that Anyone needs is a Warm beach, some Earphones, And listen to him All day, on a Summer holiday.

Paul you made me swoon over classical music again. You are the tenor of the 21st century! Keep on enthralling millions all over the world with your voice and your music.

I still think Paul Potts is the best talent found and his version of this song is fantastic. He has done more for opera than anyone I know bringing it to the common folk like me. I will always get chills when he sings this.

I always get emotional when I hear Paul's version of Nessun Dorma. So beautiful.

I’m not an opera fan but could become one, listening to Mr. Potts beautiful voice. Love from the USA.

His voice has not only power, but so much emotions hidden inside too. He is a great singer.

I can't understand the hate Paul gets. They guy is great. He might not be on P's level but who said he had to!!?! He's on his on level. I'm pretty damn sure, thats all he needs.

All the positive comments I read here are rights! I am a professional opera singer, I trained a lot, work quite a lot as well, but still learning. This Paul Potts is doing well. As some said, he is not PAV, but there was only one PAV! He does not have to be. He makes something that makes him happy. Congratulations and keep going!

He sang for folks who lost their lives in the Tsunami. Oh, how he sang. With his soul and every note. Thank you Paul Potts for being you. A wonderful you, who bring the full glory of song to us. Thank you.

Paul is a phenom! What a great talent. Love to listen to him sing.

So wonderful to see Paul fulfilling his dream.

Fabulous, fantastic rendition. The audience was spellbound, living every second of that Magic Evening. Thank you, Mr. Paul Potts --- I've watched this vídeo dozens of times and your performance is always fresh, anew. .

Not many folk in the whole world can sing like this, take a bow...

My wife and I just watched Paul in the town of Malvern…The fella is a genius singing opera/40s&50s ballads..80s pop music…If you get the chance watch him👏👏👏👏

I love Paul's voice, is so powerful and beautiful. Just wonderful. ❤🤗🎼

He makes me cry every time. I still watch his 1st audition, which still makes me cry!! Awesome voice.

I read some comments here of people who think they are "experts" in classic opera just because they are opera fans. Is so naive! This humble guy is not Pavarotti or Corelli but he is a good opera singer and he still taking lessons. So why the hate comments? At least he is on a stage singing and you are not. So your ignorant comments are irrelevant.

3 man make me cry. 1. my dad 2. teacher in my school 3. paul potts

Sou Brasileiro e me apaixonei por essa música. Principalmente na voz desse homem. Que Deus abençoe esse dom maravilhoso 😮

Una voz poderosa, natural y llena de sentimiento. Presencia escénica sobria con una tristeza oculta que hace brotar lagrimas al escuchar su maravillosa voz. ¡Bravo Maestro Paul Potts!

Pues yo sé muy poco de ópera, pero la humildad y la voz de este ángel de Dios, me humedecen los ojos. Bravooo Paul... bravísimo.

一番最初に聴いた時より更に素晴らしくなっていますね。。。涙が出そうになった。なんという素晴らしい歌声。。

Great job Paul. Thanks for bringing this classic to the average person. You deserve only the best always.

I saw Phil in his first audition with Simon.......blown away and still the case. I love his voice and most of all his humility. Like gold.

Unlike the rest of the world, Japanese audience stays absolutely silent until the very last note of the music is heard. And then here comes a storm of applause, cheering and standing ovation. I'm sure Paul was relieved and pleasantly surprised when he finally heard it!

what a beautiful humble man. Brings me to tears every time.

Es una voz increible ..que grande es paul potts cuando la escuche por primera vez sentia como me llego hasta el alma esa voz me saco un alagrima esa voz es unica

最後に日本語でありがとうと言っていただけるのが嬉しいです。 こちらこそありがとうございます。また日本に来てください！！！

¡Nunca es tarde para brillar en el firmamento! Todos los seres humanos deberíamos buscar nuestro talento. ¡Felicitaciones! a este excelente artista.

Paul Potts has a beautiful voice and he is alive. I am so glad he was discovered and is singing. I love his voice. There is no perfect singer. He sings with his heart. There are people like him who will improve and I am so glad he is willing to take on songs with this difficulty.

I saw the first public appearance of Paul, and the reaction of the audience, and jury! And, seeing him now, singing all over the world, really makes me happy, because he proved everyone wrong👏👏👏

la storia di quest'uomo è talmente pazzesca da sembrare una favola: da venditore di cellulari a cantante lirico che calca i migliori teatri di tutto il mondo, rimanendo se stesso. Meraviglioso

No singer of any genre should be compared to another. Each forms notes and lyrics in a way God intended him or her to do. I love Paul Potts. Also love “Freddie”, Elvis, and Garth Brooks.. each has something so special. I love what is special to them.

Paul Potts put his soul and heart into it.Yes it is a masterpiece.

such a sweet man. Thank you Simon Cowell for getting him started

Brings to tears to eyes and hits a nerve....I'd rather hear this humble man God as blessed with voice and see how he overcame ....so inspiring..

Going to forward this to my son who served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Kobe, Osaka, Hiroshima, etc. so many years ago...think he will enjoy this!!! Thank you, Paul!!

Paul Potts is always my favourite singer…he has a voice of angel… came from a humble beginning… Simon Cowell overcame his disbelief

Pavarotti was a legend, Bocelli is very good and Paul Potts is an amazing singer who has incredible power & sincerity. Listen to anyone sing opera or classical and then listen to Paul. He is just amazing and we are all beneficiaries of his voice & humility. Listen to his Time To Say Goodbye duet with Kanon and compare his (and hers) voice to any ones. Hats off to Paul !!

He has a way with intonation and dynamics. He doesn't over power his renditions. I think that is why he translates so well to folks who are not opera commons. He has improved his vibrato and depth during his fortes with time and experience.

Those who compare one beautifully gifted person to another in their snobbery fail to comprehend the uniqueness of each individual. No two people on earth are the same, we are each unique and should be appreciated as such.

Sometimes a NATURAL voice, with a hint of the everyman is so much more appealing, than the perfect. Especially, when the voice is vibrant with the true emotion, which Mr. Paul Potts excels at completely! I LOVE LISTENING TO HIM!!

Hermoso Paul Potts !!! me pone la piel de gallina y se caen mis lagrimas....

多くの人に勇気と感動を与えてくれたポールポッツさん。 ありがとうございます。

Among many who sing this song, I appreciate his version most. Unlike Pavarotti´s Paul´s is filled with tremendous emotions and passions.

He was great on that talent show and still is, obviously! That Susan too!

あーこれは泣けます😭 氏の誠実でお優しい人柄が歌声に表れていますね

Wunderschön gesungen und wunderschön, dass er sich seine Zähne machen lassen konnte - das freut mich für ihn! Beautifully sung and beautiful that he could have his teeth done - I'm happy for him!

I don't compare him to anybody he is awesome , he has a lot of heart when he sings.

Paul's beauty is in the energy he radiates, not the technical delivery of his pitch. Surely this is the essence of humanity, else we are machines, with high skill, and no soul.

Great job Paul. Nice career you made for yourself doing what you love. Feel pity for the non-achieving critics who feel compeled to make themselves feel superior by degrading someone else.

So, this is the "mobile phone guy" who aspired to be an opera singer. Well done, Mr. Potts 👍

I have watched over the years several opera singers sing this song, watched Pavarotti live in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico during his last years. He was on his own level. But Paul Potts has something that moves me when I hear him sing this song. I guess is just his humility, something that Pavarotti did not show much of.

Paul Potts brought opera into the lives of non opera lovers and for that he deserves much credit. His voice is soothing, not overbearing like the heavy hitters. I love his version of Nessun Dorma better than anyone's. I never would have listened to it but not for him.

I remember a time Simon Cowell had that little look of doubt I remember a moment we all had a quiet snicker I remember a man who grimaced, but in British fashion he began the journey I remember a time our eyes became moist I remember a moment our hearts soared I remember Paul became a man who found his destiny Oh yes, glorious days for all

Paul, your voice is absolutely unbelieveble - this is awesome

A perfect performer! The humility to turn around and acknowledge the orchestra before bowing to receive the accolades says it all.

he was amazing from the first moment he came forward and stood on the stage of Britain's got talent but he has gotten incomparably better than he was back then. Not only did he realise his dream but he also hasn't stopped moving forward after his dream came true. He never fell into the trap of complacency. He's inspired millions of people who were afraid of chasing dreams and stuck in frustrations. And now he's pushing the back of those who are having trouble improving themselves and pursuing their goals. I really appreciate him mustering up his courage for being on BGT and never giving up his dream in spite of his former life as a mobile phone seller. The world has been going through a lot of catastrophes such as the Covid pandemic and the rising tensions in Ukraine and so on. With these international macro problems, there must be a countless number of people who have their own trouble and difficulties. Paul might not be able to solve all of these problems himself but he can give them some kind of emotional cure and courage and inspiration to help them get back on their feet again.

Paul Potts proves false the old adage "nice guy finishes last". I can't say I'm a fan of opera, but it's nice knowing a good guy in this rotten world is winning.

I'm amazed at how respectful and silent the audience are during the entire performance. Just before performing they all fall silent, and give undivided attention. They maintain their integrity to hold all applause until he has absolutely finished. I hate it when you get UK or American audiences, who cheer and woop through the entire song - completely ruins it for everyone.

I’m welsh and proud to be we are blessed to have many AMAZING singers but PAUL POTS is the BEST of the BEST

Was der Mann da raus haut, ist einfach nur Wahnsinn. Diese Stimme sucht ihres gleichen. Ich bin selten sprachlos, aber jetzt ist der Zeitpunkt gekommen zu schweigen 🤫😪😢🤧

Goosebumps all over when ever I listen to that masterpiece ♥️

haters will hate but paul potts voice heals my soul

A lovely human being, humble and kind. A class act. I’m elated that Mr Potts is fulfilling hie dream. He looks handsome and confident and is so gracious. And that glorious voice!

I'm not a man of tears, but this song triggers everything emotional in me. Thank you, Paul Potts.

Ignoranst is bliss. Paul is the greatest.

Very best performance of this famous song... Thank you to Paul Potts...🥰🥰🥰

Un brano così straordinario unico, difficilissimo da cantare richiede da sempre grandissimi interpreti. Questo tenore ne ha tutte le qualità.

Pual potts , has a pure soul, his voice is a gift from God to convey love and harmony to humanity which unfortunately today is dying.

Que canción, que voz !!. Simplemente impresionante !!.

Thank you for this rendition of "Nessun Dorma", Mr. Potts. You are showing us all what it means to embrace and accept yourself for who you are meant to become. You made me shed a tear reminding me of that. And for that, I thank you. We all should

EXPLENDIDO , QUANDO OUÇO ESTÁ MÚSICA ME LEMBRO DO MEU GRANDE MESTRE FRANCISCO TUSSINI , A FORÇA DE VONTADE DESTE GRANDE HOMEM , ME FAZ EU DESISTIR JAMAIS DOS MEUS SONHOS E PROCURO SEGUIR O LEGADO QUE FOI E SEMPRE SERÁ MEU MESTRE AMIGO PAI E AVÔ FRANCISCO TUSSINI ...

Any way you look at it, Paul Potts is a happy story. The meek shall inherit the earth.

Thanks dear Paul Potss .Yo voice is rally great.... For me , you are the best together Placido Domingo...

I love this song the control in his voice is amazing.

Despite all the bad comments about him, he is now worth over 10 Million Dollars. Bravo Paul. Hope to see you someday on the stage in person.

I've always preferred Italian opera, (besides Italian meals). Paul has the magic to transport me to Italy of my dreams.

That long bow at the end. What a respectful man.

Wow. Mate we need people like you. All the gems are fading away from us. Everyone who has a soul and understands this world that you're from, will always respect you and appreciate you. Thank you so much for coming out of the crowd for us.❤

Absolutely amazing. I occasionally rewatch the clip of the very first time he sang part of this song and blew the minds of the jury at Britain's got Talent. Gives me goosebumps every time. And I say this as someone who usually listens to Heavy Metal and Rock music, not opera.

I think Paul is a outstanding artist and I enjoy all of his music.

Amazing. I grew up listening to Caruso on my Grandfather's knee. Paul Potts is not a Caruso - but his talent is undeniable

Paul Potts has a gift, a powerful voice, and he just seemed to know this was to be his path.

A voice of God´s grace...

neuveritelny zážitek Krásná hudba skvělý hlas díky

The irony of this thread is that Pavarotti would probably be the first to stand and applaud Paul's accomplish ments had he been in an audience.

DIOS SE MANIFIESTA EN LA VOZ DE PAUL. BENDITO SEA NUESTRO SEÑOR.

I've listened to many tenors sing this song...he is the best. IMO.

Paul's a younger version of Pavarotti...I love this song and he's does it Bella...Bella..Bella.
