Album Description
Former cell phone salesman and now Britians Got Talent winner Paul Potts has spent most of his life feeling insignificant and bullied, but says that his voice was always his one true friend, a voice that Simon Cowell calls simply magical.

Amazon.com
Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts has spent most of his life feeling 'insignificant'. Bullied at school for being 'different', he realized growing up that he had one true friend and that was his voice. Singing was his escape. He was able to lose himself in his own little world - the vicious words of his tormentors replaced by hauntingly beautiful lyrics and melodies that lifted his heart and spirit. It was a love, a passion, a lifeline that would follow Paul into adulthood and help him through many more periods of adversity.



Though it's fair to say that when Paul strolled awkwardly - almost apologetically - onto the Cardiff stage for his first Britain?s Got Talent audition a week before that final, in his now infamous 35 Tesco suit, and announced to Simon and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan that he was going to sing opera, they never thought for one minute they were looking at their winner. Until he opened his mouth and started to sing.

5 out of 5 stars Awsome Voice   August 22, 2008
Paul Potts has an amazing voice - it brings tears to my eyes to listen to him. He really connects with his audience. Waiting for his next CD.


2 out of 5 stars Paul Potts   August 22, 2008
I've never enjoyed opera but Paul Potts made me a opera lover. Know you will go on to do great things. I give you 6 STARS! Ruth Watts


4 out of 5 stars Great CD!   August 19, 2008
Great CD from an admirable man. I first heard him in youtube during his first audition for the 'Britain's Got Talent' show. I was very touched by his humility and in awe of his talent. I find his voice very soothing. There are a couple of songs that I do not really like otherwise I would have rated the CD 5 stars.


5 out of 5 stars he sings with his heart, and therefore beats many pro's   August 12, 2008
I've never been impressed with any singer that could sing "the right way". All Technical Blah-Blah and BS (sorry). It's all about singing with the heart, and being able to move people so deeply, that tears start flowing. THAT's REAL singing. Pavorotti never moved me to tears. This guy did. Music is not only hearing with your ears... it has a lot to do with feeling as well. Real singers sing from the heart and are therefore also able to touch the hearts of others as well. Not a mystery, just a common fact. May Paul Potts keep singing like this always, and doesn't loose himself in technical voice gymnastics and his songs ending up flat and heartless.


5 out of 5 stars An legend in the making   August 11, 2008
There are three different groups of people in this world. The first are those who are born great. The second group are those who greatness was bestowed on them. The last group are people who worked very hard to become great. Paul Potts is one of those who was born great with a voice that i can only describe as legendary. It is a sad thing to hear people discredit him like that. This singer is on his way to become the next Luciano Pavarotti.
