Paul Potts performs in front of her Majesty the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance 2007. Paul won Britains Got Talent and his prize was to perform on this show
I literally get goosebumps EVERY single time I hear him sing. I have never liked opera before but have just discovered how brilliant this music is. Bravo!
I just watched the movie on his life and I am so thrilled that he met his beautiful life for if it was not for her he may be still in his very ordinary life. What a truely perfect performer who has a voice to remain in ones heart. Love you Paul and your wife is the man standing behind the man. Love you both, you have touched my heart. Bless you both
I love Paul Potts!!! He is simply an Angel, Beautiful Pure Talent!!! And most of all the voice for all of us that may doubt ourselves. His story inspires those of us who may be shy, to old, to young judge by others. He just makes me feel tingly inside everytime I see and hear him perform. It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Go Paul!!!
I'm an ex roadie of over 40 years for Mötorhead, many years and others but all heavy metal rock and roll bands. I freely admit I did cry. Wept fucking buckets. Kept thinking of my late old man, he was an ex USM and he also loved opera. This was one of his favourite pieces. Sempre Fi 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻
Just another reason to be British.....I am now in Canada/Philippines. Good for you Paul. Hope you have the baby that you and your wife want so much. 2013
very few times have i been so happy for someone that i don't know, someone you could say is a stranger to me, his story brings me happiness and i am very thrilled and excited to know that this man actually reached his dream and he seems so very happy to live it, he truly enjoys it, congratulations
No matter how many times I watch this I am blown away by the powerful performance of Nessun Dorma. And the added thrill of the more powerful ending just enhances the thrill. I know, I know nothing about opera and really never cared to know. But Paul made this possible for me, that I would find sheer passion and love for a world I knew nothing about. For that Paul deserves much credit. If he brought opera to "every man" that deserves a whole lot of credit. Just love it and wish Paul well in 2015.
When I see this, I notice that there are many other talented people supporting him. It was very nice to see his appreciation for the singers and orchestra, as well. He hasn't lost his humility. You don't see that trait much these days.
You can't help but be happy for this man. Playing before the Queen of England. How awesome is that? Susan Boyle got the attention of these talented people in Britain, and its a blessing to have heard and saw them perform, even if its from across the Atlantic Ocean. Britain does have talent! WOW! 2 million CDS? DOUBLE PLATINUM! THATS HUGE SUCCESS!
Exactly. He took something that most of us would never listen to and made us go WOW. He is amazing. This performance has to make anyone who hears it feel something very special. Thank you Paul!
God Bless Paul and his family! Talk about a REAL PERSON with REAL talent- this is the ULTIMATE story!!! Seriously, couldnt have happened to a BETTER PERSON!!! I have the CD and LOVE IT & only pray Paul goes far & continues to share his angelic voice with us all for years!!!
Everytime I listen to this I get Goose Bumps! My entire body reacts to this music lol, it's just so emotional and so deep! I love all kinds of music, but it's the first Opera song I actually enjoyed. You just feel your body shivering when you listen to this! Good job Paul Potts! Do your thing! - A fan
magnificent! This was amazing . I have listened to the 3 great tenors, someone will have to replace them in our lifetime! He will be one! Maybe everyone thinks that he cant sing as good as the best of them, because we are used to all the great tenors, but yes he can! Greg Pritchard on AMG couldn't even sing the right words, in italian!
A great presentation and a pleasure to listen to, dont take any notice of those who enjoy giving abuse ,those people like tenormas are plentiful in this day and age and have very little to offer them selves, you are a winner and THEY WILL NEVER BE !! , God bless!!
Then you also had Amira Willighagen winning holands got talent aged 9 self taught opera singer who has like Paul gone on to greater career singing now i believe 15yrs of age and Laura Bretan who has won endless talent shows around the world look up these other singers of very good opera. Finally you have just a fabulous young lady who is taking Czech republic in Ostrava by storm is Patricia Janekova we are all lucky to be able to listen to all of these wonderful performances from them either live or via TH-cam.
BRAVO! That man was born to sing opera, and thank God the world didn't miss out on the honor of hearing such incredible talent. Celebrities are people from every walk of life - from mobile phone salesmen to ex-convicts to coal miners daughters - and they got where they are because the right person had the opportunity to witness their talent.
Pavarotti's size also helped his singing. When he lost weight his voice broke on a high note. He was the best. Paul Potts obviously didn't have any advantages to help his career, but his life story is as inspiring as his voice.
I always found that Pavarotti pushed his voice. It was well known in the opera world that Placido Domingo was the better of the two. Pavarotti was jealous of the younger, very handsome Domingo. Pavarotti was quoted as saying that “I’ve never heard Placido Domingo sing well.” That sums his jealousy up.
I don't know how you can say that his voice isn't strong... He might not be of the quality of the Three Tenors, but it's still an really powerful voice. Also, according to an interview, he has had opera training, but the lessons were all payed by himself.
can you imagine performing in front of her majesty the queen? i bet that would just feel... cant find the right words to explain it. good job paul potts
how deserving, and I love his dental work and appearance in general, we will never forget who paul potts was and is wonderfull extraordinary and humble man
a least we finally got it right! Wish Jan Werner would have been recognized as well for his voice and his talent. Good going Britain for recognizing Paul's talents. God keep you safe Paul..you and your wife! RIP Jan...and know that perhaps we are now listening with our hearts and souls.
WOW that was a very very good performance! He is such a great humble person and it is a blessing to have a voice like that! God Bless him and his family & loved ones.
This is a good presentation, enjoyable,and beautiful to listen to, dont take any notice of those who enjoy giving abuse ,those people like tenormas are plentiful in this day and age and have very little to offer them selves, you are a winner and THEY WILL NEVER BE , God bless!!
This guy makes me cry everytime his beautiful voice reminds me of everyone in the world who deserves a second chance and he is that voice of hope and i hope he has all the success in the world and that success he will pass on to future generations in need I LOVE YOU PAUL POTTS!
You stir. for the first time in my life mkake me actually LIKE opera..God bless you Mr. Potts. I wish you Great success!!! (I will now try to dry tears
Another old warrior here Paratrooper! This gentleman is beyond extraordinary! Never really care for Opera prior to Paul Potts. Now I enjoy it very much! Don't care if I cannot understand a single word! The emotion carries into the heart and spirit! Thanks!
Royal Engineers here. Well into my 60s now and like you I got the opera bug after watching Paul Potts. I've been to see a few up West in London since and just like you I can't understand a bloody word of it but I know I feel better for being part of the event as an audience member. Stay well and keep listening 🏴
Paul Potts was definitely born to sing opera!!
I, even as a Canadian couldn't have wanted anyone but the best to sing for the Queen. Paul deserved to sing for her Majesty. I'm sure she loved him.
I literally get goosebumps EVERY single time I hear him sing. I have never liked opera before but have just discovered how brilliant this music is. Bravo!
I'm 55, and Paul's voice brings me to tears every single time.
He's truly brought the love of opera back to millions of people :)
I have never in my life had all my hair stand at the same time, OMG this man is talented, what a show and performance
I just watched the movie on his life and I am so thrilled that he met his beautiful life for if it was not for her he may be still in his very ordinary life. What a truely perfect performer who has a voice to remain in ones heart. Love you Paul and your wife is the man standing behind the man. Love you both, you have touched my heart. Bless you both

I agree from tragedy to su
I love Paul Potts!!! He is simply an Angel, Beautiful Pure Talent!!! And most of all the voice for all of us that may doubt ourselves. His story inspires those of us who may be shy, to old, to young judge by others. He just makes me feel tingly inside everytime I see and hear him perform. It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Go Paul!!!
I'm a US Marine and I love heavy metal. But this guy ALMOST brought me to tears... I am tremendously impressed
Agreed! I get goosebumps listening to him!
♥️🙏
don't fake it man, reckon you cried, as i did
I'm an ex roadie of over 40 years for Mötorhead, many years and others but all heavy metal rock and roll bands. I freely admit I did cry. Wept fucking buckets. Kept thinking of my late old man, he was an ex USM and he also loved opera. This was one of his favourite pieces. Sempre Fi 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hugo my friend good men do cry
Just another reason to be British.....I am now in Canada/Philippines.
Good for you Paul.
Hope you have the baby that you and your wife want so much. 2013
this boy, shy, humble and modest, made me love the opera; a huge talent
Years later and to me this is still the best winner of bgt EVER
WOW!!! To go from utter obscurity to performing in front of the Queen is absolutely amazing!!! A truly gifted gem!!!
very few times have i been so happy for someone that i don't know, someone you could say is a stranger to me, his story brings me happiness and i am very thrilled and excited to know that this man actually reached his dream and he seems so very happy to live it, he truly enjoys it, congratulations
Paul Potts has a great talent. It must have been such an unforgettable moment for him. Congratulations!
Thank you Paul. When i listen to you ,I hear the Angels!! Thank you and great luck in your career.

superb
this man came from zero to hero and has my full respect i wish i had his talent and is on par with the late pavaroti
When I see this, I notice that there are many other talented people supporting him. It was very nice to see his appreciation for the singers and orchestra, as well. He hasn't lost his humility. You don't see that trait much these days.

THEY WILL NEVER BE !!
, God bless!!
Thank you, Paul. Then, 3 years later, Jackie Evanco on AGT and you, Mr. Potts, opened the first door.
Then you also had Amira Willighagen winning holands got talent aged 9 self taught opera singer who has like Paul gone on to greater career singing now i believe 15yrs of age and Laura Bretan who has won endless talent shows around the world look up these other singers of very good opera. Finally you have just a fabulous young lady who is taking Czech republic in Ostrava by storm is Patricia Janekova we are all lucky to be able to listen to all of these wonderful performances from them either live or via TH-cam.
fantastic !!!music for my soul .
This performance makes me cry
Chills....through and through
Go Paul!!! He nailed it :D
BRAVO! That man was born to sing opera, and thank God the world didn't miss out on the honor of hearing such incredible talent. Celebrities are people from every walk of life - from mobile phone salesmen to ex-convicts to coal miners daughters - and they got where they are because the right person had the opportunity to witness their talent.
Remember watching Paul on the show. He is awesome and was so happy for him. ❤❤
what a amazing moment for Paul
In his prime, Pavarotti had the edge because of years of training. No one today can top his all around quality.
Pavarotti's size also helped his singing. When he lost weight his voice broke on a high note. He was the best.
Paul Potts obviously didn't have any advantages to help his career, but his life story is as inspiring as his voice.
Sure, but given Pavarotti's reliability, if I'd hired Pavarotti for a gig, I'd call Mr Potts and have him in the same city on standby, just in case.
Pavarotti had that magical aura only found once in a lifetime.
Can’t understand these Pavarotti fan boys , sounds a bit like the manual to me . Paul Potts all day long.
I always found that Pavarotti pushed his voice. It was well known in the opera world that Placido Domingo was the better of the two. Pavarotti was jealous of the younger, very handsome Domingo. Pavarotti was quoted as saying that “I’ve never heard Placido Domingo sing well.” That sums his jealousy up.
"now i've never been good at admitting i was wrong..."
Piers Morgan - understatement of the year...
Jan God Bless him will not be forgotton.
Paul and Jan have put great beauty in to life with their voices.
Such a talent thank you for sharing. god bless
Who would love to see he an Susan Boyle do a duet? I would!!!
Why?
Yes definitely
I listened to Signor Pavarotti's rendition of Nessun Dorma and don't know if anyone would agree but I think Paul's voice is at par with him.
Paul, you opened a new unknown world for me and millions of people: the wonderfull world of opera!
God bless this man... He sure has a wonderful gift. There is no singer who has touched me as deeply as him...
Angelic voice. I can't get enough of Paul Potts.
RIP headphone users.
I don't know how you can say that his voice isn't strong... He might not be of the quality of the Three Tenors, but it's still an really powerful voice.
Also, according to an interview, he has had opera training, but the lessons were all payed by himself.
can you imagine performing in front of her majesty the queen? i bet that would just feel... cant find the right words to explain it.
good job paul potts
Through it all you can still see the humble man. Good on you Paul!
And oh what a voice.
It's hard to believe this is the genocidal maniac who almost wiped Cambodia off the map....truly amazing....
Your comment made me lose it XD
For the win, two years running and still at the top. Funnest joke ever.
new teeth!!
I am glad he got his dentistry up! He needed that to be a better singer and help out his appearance.
how deserving, and I love his dental work and appearance in general, we will never forget who paul potts was and is wonderfull extraordinary and humble man
Well done to Paul Potts. You are a star 🌟. I can’t believe people judge how others look. Xx 😘
Amazing singer, fantastic singer, but his teeth showed that he hadnt been born with a silver spoon, but had worked very hard to become what he is!!
I'm glad he's enjoying his hard earned success
He'll have a Hollywood smile, don't worry
looks like they fixed his teeth since the audition
Yes indeed, and what people don't know is that on the day he performed here he was in agony because they were still new.
He got enough money from winning bgt to get new teeth I guess
It would be a great honour to meet him. A wonder of the world. hope he has a great life
He is one in a million....
Fantastic Voice... He make me Cry
a least we finally got it right! Wish Jan Werner would have been recognized as well for his voice and his talent. Good going Britain for recognizing Paul's talents. God keep you safe Paul..you and your wife! RIP Jan...and know that perhaps we are now listening with our hearts and souls.
Humility leads those pure in heart in ultimate success..Heaven always have plans for every human kind!!! He is a one of them!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Hi is so BRILLIANT 👈❤❤❤ Your Voice is so Great and Only 👏👏👏 Many Thanks for the Opera😘
3 years later and still giving me goose pimples! =)
Both myself and Paul Potter are from South Wales, Paul's voice is like no others , I'm so proud to be Welsh. THANK YOU SO MUCH Paul Potts xx
He's not Welsh, he's from Bristol.
This guy got tears out of my eyes so easely... and i don´t cry that often...
pure feeling, amazing!
I still get chills listening to this dude sing
I just watched the movie and went on TH-cam.........fantastic
So happy for him and his wife. 👍🏼
Simply fantastic - that last note was amazing! I saw Paul in concert in Atlantic City and was mesmerized. I am so happy for all his success.
I could listen to this singing - or type of singing for hours - truly wonderful - Thank God for the talents of people. And now Paul Potts
WOW that was a very very good performance! He is such a great humble person and it is a blessing to have a voice like that! God Bless him and his family & loved ones.

When his mouth opens, the warmest feeling fills my soul :)
wow, it truly is like listening to a perfect instrument
He's a wonderful, natural talent. I think that's fantastic.
Fantastic, what a voice. Loved the staging as well. Total class.
This man's voice blows me away and as many comments here, he brings me to tears. I will never tire listening to Paul sing.
Pavarotti you are a history from now to on Paul Potts is a legend!!!
He is definitely gifted in a way,
Another old warrior here Paratrooper!
This gentleman is beyond extraordinary! Never really care for Opera prior to Paul Potts. Now I enjoy it very much! Don't care if I cannot understand a single word! The emotion carries into the heart and spirit! Thanks!
