    You can really tell by his eyes that he has much sadness in him. From bullying and such. And on top of that go out and sing like this. Being brave and stand infront of the world like this. I admire this man.

    There is no question that Pavarotti is a legend and he sang this perfectly...more perfectly than Paul Potts..But why is it that listening to Paul Potts makes me tear up.? That didn't happened when I listened to Pavarottis version. . Did you look at the audiences' faces as well as the judges? The female judge was also tearing up as well as pierce. And Simon had that look on him. ...This goes to show that sometimes its not about singing it better. Sometimes its the heart you put into it. You can feel this mans passion for opera as well as his longing to sing...all those years of stifling his dreams and if you put all that into a song it will have an effect on the listeners that even the greatest of the great cannot match.

    RACCATTApalle91804 it is unfair to compare him to singers with classical training. I was talking about the heart in the performance and not the technical aspects of it. That heart is what made him win BGT. Also 'normal' audiences are not fond of opera so one has to sound well to impress. I heard many versions, this one isn't perfect but it has heart

    RACCATTApalle91804 I'm sure they have. They certainly have the money to be able to afford to see one. His success is not about getting recognized to be the best because there are certainly many opera singers who put in years and years to even be recognized. Have you ever had a dream? Something you truly want for a very very long time and yet couldn't follow that path for one reason or another? When life calls to sacrifice that dream because of something that takes precedence? You heard it. He said he was there to sing opera. He knows sacrifice as the rest of us because his is the years of putting on hold for whatever reasons his dreams to be able to just sing opera. He never had any training but im sure from how much he seemed to love it he would certainly do if he can go back in time and if he had the means. People sometimes put their dreams on hold for whatever reason then sometimes they realize it was a mistake until the very end. People who became opera singers or performers are very blessed because they are were they want to be. They are following on their dreams. Why do you think he joined? I think he did it in the beginning for that one moment only. To be able to sing that one time in front of the world so that he has at least that moment to remember. He did not anticipate what the public reception would be. There is certainly no guaranteed of a win and you put yourself in the scrutiny of 4 judges and the people. They voted for him. He won because he sang it well-from the heart. I could feel that heart . it really isn't fair to compare him to others. I'm happy he is following his dreams. It may or may not last but the point is hr finally did follow it. Also, if I were to sing a pop song why would people compare me to the original or to others who sang that song? I ought to be judge by how well the people like my rendition.//

    You and others tear up when listening to Paul Potts sing Nessun Dorma because music: whether opera, country and western, polka or jazz, is meant to move you. I am a degreed, professional classical musician who is quick to tell the "experts" that "good" music, "good" singing is really in the emotions of the hearer. In this, it is similar to art. What is beautiful or good is subjective to the emotions of the person having the experience. If Paul Pott's rendition moved people in any kind of way, then his performance was good: one that accomplished through music what music is meant to do..

    One of the lessons to be learned from Paul Potts is to prepare yourself so you are ready before opportunity knocks. Many people don't know this, but Paul spent a lot of time and money learning and training. He spent a large portion of his meager pay to take lessons including going to Italy to study. And even after all his preparations, he still doubted himself such that he tossed a coin to decide whether to enter BGT or not. Imagine if that coin had landed the other way and the world never hears of Paul Potts.

    Now, you can discuss the input of the voice or if he could hold the breath in comparison to Pavarotti etc. but why critizise people who watch the vid and leave their opinion. And that's being said, even when it's unknown how Paul Pott could master this without the modern technique, and so it's hardly to say how much volume his voice really has, his voice itself and his input is not to criticise. (but I guess its fine :) ... So you could criticize almost every singer, because all are not perfect always, and this is just human and so its fine.

    There are several '...Got Talent" singers I go back to frequently... Susan Boyle, obviously, and Paul Potts, both from Gr. Britain. One out of Sweden, Freddy Amigo, one from Bulgaria, Svetlio Hristov (I think that's the correct spelling), and from the US Andrew De Leon, Charlotte & Jonathan and Brian Justin Crum . With the exception of Hristov, all share an 'unfriended' history or other such equally 'soul-killing' issues, so their success means a little extra to me. (This is just a little aside: There is one singer who, well, I have zero idea how I came across his video KZread performance as it wasn't on any of those shows, but just in case you might enjoy hearing him also, he's the Rag'n'Bone man singing "Human.")

    Leauvaa Tiliaia There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Paul Potts looks - he is Welsh & there are lots of men in Wales who look like that (Cymru am byth!). The Welsh have a different genetic make-up to the English (I think that the Welsh are Romano Celts; Celtic, plus a component from the Roman occupation of Britain. In contrast, the English are Anglo-Saxon; with a German and Danish (and for the North of England with a Viking) heritage and who never settled much in Wales). I always thought that schools in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland should do more in history to teach everybody about all of us, not just about one of the countries that make up The United Kingdom!

    To have an everyman sing a piece like Nessun Dorma with such virtuosity and sadness in his countenance makes it hit home even more than Pavarotti. It's like a guy who's been bullied all his life through no fault of his own letting loose with an emotional ballad from the depths of his soul. I get even more emotional watching Paul's rendition than Pavarotti's, and that's saying something.

I used quiz show winnings and savings to take short courses in Italy, without much belief that it would lead to anything at all. Following an operation to remove a large tumour, I continued, but an accident when someone carelessly knocked me off my bicycle a few days after returning to work meant that I couldn't continue with my singing for 4 years before the audition.

He has throughout his life been beaten down, subjugated, and constantly defeated by outside forces. He has internalized this and consequently confined himself in a prison of fear. Now he is free. He has liberated himself, torn off the shackles of doubt and fear and become one with his inner passions and desires. He is at one with the world he has created, a world dominated by his beautiful voice, and he is now free. The oppressive forces that once tortured and controlled him are now gone; he is free.

    You people who are criticizing his singing need to step back and enjoy this moment for a "common guy" to present himself so well. It is the moment that is enthralling. His life would be changed forever--unless he did not sing well. But he presented AND he did so in a humble fashion. We all have those kind of dreams but rarely act on them. By the way he won the competition so millions support him whether he is a tenor...soprano, alto or whatever...(Just words)

    This video is such a mark in history. The condescending way and pitiful eyes of the audience towards his looks, just before his sings is what was hindering this man talent from growing. After years of lone preparation and gathering confidence he is able to explode in this audition like a supernova. He outshines everyone in that room, becoming bigger than everyone who had pity on him before. When he says "Ma Il mio misterio e' chiuso in me" it's like his voice is ripping that room apart and blowing away all those judging eyes. When I saw this 10 years ago I was a fat slob much like him, and because of his help I've managed to completely change my life, blowing away the people who had belittle me in the past. Thank you Paul.

Everybody can google any video of him or any recording, and it will be splendid. As per usual. However, this guy shows that there're absolutely no borders or boundaries for a true talent. It shows people, the whole world that your dream can come true and if you're truly gifted and follow your own path, you will shine. And people will kneel before your talent and recognize you.

    It's also more current and relevant as it's from 2007 (After KZread became popular) and not from the last millenium. I'm actually surprised that the pavarotti video has almost 30 million views, there are lots of brilliant old songs with barely any views at all while Justin Bieber songs trumps with 1 billion views. Views are generated 10% through content and 90% through publicity, a clip from the 90's rarely gets any publicity 20 years later.

Susan Boyle, one of the 'boy' singing groups, that initially sung independent of each other but Cowell made them unite and collectively they are enormous (it's midnight my time, and my mind isn't...all there at the moment so I cannot recall their stage name) and, or course Potts. There may be more, but at the nonce, I can only think of those three.

    I love how the camera just swirls around while he's finishing the song. The emotions going through this man's body must have been incredible. As he said years later when he returned to sing he said "I'm grateful because when I came on stage I was nobody and when I left I was somebody" wonderful humble person.

    This was one of the earliest videos I ever saw on KZread and for me this was epic then and remains epic even today. It was this video that made me understand the impact youtube will have in the coming times. Simon's little speech at the end about everydaymen shining via such tv shows was such a portent one.

    MissMelonblue It's not as if the entire show is fake. Yes, as part of the audience, we are being manipulated emotionally to help cement the popularity of some acts. And it is true that the acts are curated carefully and doled out to the audience in a carefully controlled crescendo of human interest stories to tug on the heart strings. But the talent being found from this process is real. The dreams being realized right before your eyes is real. The feelings of empathy and compassion from the viewers that yes, it could translate to them is real. For many though, it is starting to become tiresome. Sort of like finding out how the magician tricks are being done. It spoils the wonder, and we feel a bit betrayed.

    Maria Leiva I totally agree Maria. It's always the ones you least expect that give the biggest surprize. I love the way how Simon's face changes from one of "Oh this is going boring where's me buzzer" to "Well stone me that was brilliant."
