When Paul Potts did this audition, my 12 year old autistic son suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrom. He suffered more than most of you can imagine and i suffered with him. Watching Paul Potts gave me hope. Hope that things would get better some day. I will be gratefull for the hope Paul Potts gave me with this audition for the rest of my life.
This is what I love, surprising people so much that doubt you, and just sticking it to their face so hard they almost know what you've been through, then leave wherever you are (football field, singing class, any class, or anything related) as if to say "you're welcome".
This video is a real eye opener. After watching “Discover the Gift” I’ve learned that the power of belief is one of the most valuable weapons that we have. Has anyone else seen it? I’ve never felt so compelled to do something this short life.
I am Italian and I love that aria from La Turandot. I have to say you really touched my heart. Thank you for showing everyone that all human beings have a great treasure within and noone can touch it or take it away.
Hoping that people with chronic illnesses and/or disabilities can see how this man believed in himself. While we do not receive a contract with a studio recorder, we are Survivors that live one more day. What a stunning moment for the world to see! Highest Personal Regards, Dr M
hey guys, life is crazy at times, sometimes it make me wonder why am I here living, do I have a purpose in life? .... then I look above to the sky and I realise its so big. It gives me a belief to carry on, life to you can be anything, its just how you make it. Be inspired. thank you. massive respect to this song peace out.
Love this, truly an inspiration. Despite his wavering self confidence he pushed himself and shared his talent with the world. This moment has probably changed his life forever. Amazing what happens when you start believing in yourself.
Absolutely amazing! I'm a trained cellist, and I know that you don't learn how to sing that way from any school. It's in your heart and it flows through you if you are courageous enough to allow it. Thank you for being brave enough to put yourself out there. It gives me, and I think a lot of others, a giant truckload of inspiration. And thanks to Saifuldinho for posting this.
Such talent and heart. Heart felt emotion stirred. I hope he has a long and successful career, because he does demonstrate that he has the talent. All he needs is the chance. Go For It!
This is so inspiring because I'm just 18 and have big goals too. So when I think of him bringing up the courage after all those years I think I can do it now and spare myself the decades of procrastination. Thanks Paul !! You're a huge inspiration.
here you have a man, a seemingly very average man who is lacking in some self confidence. he gets on stage, you see the judges give each other that look of "yeah right". Then he opens his mouth and out comes this amazing voice. if you stop the vid at 1:19 you can see Simon's disbelief lol. good for you paul, the show was over when i discovered you but im very glad you won. inspiration to all of us who are "seemingly average". it gives us hope that we can achieve our dreams.
As an entrepreneur, it doesn't matter what you look like, or what your educational background is. It is about being the real you, thanks Paul Potts! :)
I bought my mobile off him a few years back in the Carphone warehouse Port Talbot. Very nice guy, I watch this before my competitions. Gives me chills!!! Chris Jenkins World champion powerlifter
@RideFate ; I know exactly where your cousin was going through. This kind of stress is the fear a person with autism has to deal and live with his whole life. Your cousin is lucky to have relatives like you, who really understand him and unconditional love him and knowing there are understanding people like you gives me (being an 'auti-mom') hope. Thank you for that!
This was such a great performance. I still get goosebumps every time I watch it. And for anyone who was wondering, I think the song is called Nessun Dorma.
We also have to forget about what other people think about us. We have to know that God has chosen us for a purpose, and He will see us through. With dysautonomia (abnormal function of the autonomic nervous system, so when we stand up, we faint to the floor), we spend much or all of our time in bed, bed-ridden into oblivion. Told we are 'ok'. Told all is 'in your head'. Believe in yourself! What a gift from God this man's voice is. It resounds celebration to the core of every heart...Dr M
I think Pavarotti himself would be proud of Paul. There are only a few good performers of opera and Paul Potts is definitely one of them. This video made me tear. Every time I hear it, I get goosebumps.
No matter what your musical preference is; this man has a voice that speaks to your soul; it MOVES you! The irony is that he's so gifted and lacked the confidence to match but yet, we see herds of NON-talented, delusional people come onto American Idol with enough confidence to fuel the universe!
Its interesting how the Human spirit can amplify the energy and radiate once its core is exposed. Really gives us insight to those things unseen. This energy is a powerful tool. You can use it for good.. or evil.
The man inspired me... Been watching inspiration videos for most of the night and it's really doing some wonders. This guy, though... Wow. I think I'll just go and follow my dreams now.
i am a grown man and this video not only gave me goosebumps but brought tears to my eyes.Good for him,hope he makes it big time.
This guy was born with the ability to sing. Believing in yourself isn't always enough.
thumbs up for this guy....thats what you called passion for what you do....he makes me cry.....
you could see it in his eyes, he was powerfully focused. Way to rock the crowd, you see how quickly peoples opinions can change!

So proud of him! This is how you find your true DREAMS! It's so inspiring when the disabled can fulfill their dreams! Love this!

c'mon,I love this guy.when nobody believes you,there is a person who only believes in you and it is "YOU''
The truest words spoken today.
This video is a real eye opener. After watching “Discover the Gift” I’ve learned that the power of belief is one of the most valuable weapons that we have. Has anyone else seen it? I’ve never felt so compelled to do something this short life.
Unbelieavable!! He is more then music to your ears, he is music for your heart.
absolutely brilliant..u can feel the raw energy in his voice..never been teary eyed b4 while listening to a song..awesome..
The judges got a good lesson of life here!
Never underestimate no one.
I've seen this hundreds of times and still get goose bumps. What an inspirational story.
I got chills when I first heard him sing on that talent show and I still get chills as I listen to him now, he's wonderful!!
I have tears in my eyes, because I know what it feels like not to have people believe in you. I'm so inspired.
Very well done. Im so proud of him. I hope to God he finds everything in life he's looking for. Bravo Paul bravo.
It truly is amazing when we show up for our selves and own who we are we inspire others to do the same.
It always give me goosebumps every time I watch this video. Makes me wanna cry. Believe in yourself.
as soon as he sang the first note, tears came gushing out of my eyes...powerful stuff!!
I am Italian and I love that aria from La Turandot. I have to say you really touched my heart. Thank you for showing everyone that all human beings have a great treasure within and noone can touch it or take it away.
why is it that i get so emotional when seeing vids like these...even as he hit the first notes...wooow...God bless
Oh my Lord, brought tears to my eyes....how totally beautiful.
No matter how many times I watch this, it always makes my eyes tear up.

no feel more satisfying then proving people wrong.
It just goes to show there is so much talent in each of us, question is how we keep on going in discovering it.

i saw him and wanted to laugh but after this video..
i respect him to the max. he has the most self confidence ive ever seen in a person
what ever trials you have... dont give up....dont under estimate yourself...belive in your self...
tnx 4 the vid....
Another reason to believe in yourself!
Paul be Blessed!
i loved simon's reaction when the singing began. awesome
best moment is when he just starts singing and you can see simon is stunned!
This is one of the best videos for increasing one's confidence. Great work by the person who has put it here. May God bless him.
i keep watching this video over and over again, its magnificent.
Big respect for the man.
Really hope he can make his dream come true.
Paul Potts is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

He showed them. While weak minded people made fun of him in truth he made them cry. This persons inner power and energy shines!
inspirational man I guarantee... your just a simple guy to my eyes but your an angel to my ears... thanks man...
have no words to praise Paul. this video is great energy booster. Thanks.
When I see people like him sucess in life it always makes me cry....for gods sake!
just goes to show, it really doesnt matter what other people think of you. as long as you prove them wrong.
This is so inspiring because I'm just 18 and have big goals too. So when I think of him bringing up the courage after all those years I think I can do it now and spare myself the decades of procrastination. Thanks Paul !! You're a huge inspiration.
some firework just exploded exactly as he finished singing, i guess he's that good.
This is awsome. I love seeing people believe in themselves and do somthing with it. A definate inspiration.

Man never had tears run down my face like that since I BROKE WITH MY LOVE OF MY LIFE...CREATE YOUR LIFE BROTHERS AN SISTERS....

This is a great story of the underdog. Let's you know the importance of getting after your dreams. Great video. Thanks for sharing this video.
I think Pavarotti himself would be proud of Paul. There are only a few good performers of opera and Paul Potts is definitely one of them. This video made me tear. Every time I hear it, I get goosebumps.
He is a great inspiration to show us that judgement and appearance, can really surprise you.. He is going to be very successful.
that is one great voice...a real singer
