    Hi guys! Paul was absolutely tremendous and I just read his comment he sent you from New Zealand. What a thrill that must have been for both of you. Yes, it began a career that continues to this day.
    There were three particular acts during the early years of Britain's Got Talent which set the stage for Got Talent Shows to spread out all over the world. You just heard Paul Potts audition. You already heard Susan Boyle's audition. So, what was the third act? Well, it was the finalist who was edged out by Paul Potts in a vote (unofficially) which had to be very, very close. So, you must be wondering, Paul was fantastic so who in the world could have almost bested him? To be fair, since you listened to the auditions of Paul and Susan, it is best you listen to the audition of the third act. Her name is Connie Talbot and she sang 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' a cappella. You could hear a pin drop during her performance. Oh, btw, Connie was 6 years old (2007). She's now 22 and continues to sing and play the piano and write music. When you listen to her audition you will understand what Paul Potts had to contend with to win the Show.

    Please, please, PLEEEASE check out Andrew De Leon's audition on America's Got Talent back in 2012. Talk about an example of subverting expectations! If you think Paul Potts, Susan Boyle, or the Opera Duo of Johnathan & Charlotte were amazing, you will be blown away by Andrew De Leon's ethereal voice. He literally sounds like an angel that fell from the sky - trust me, that is no lie or exaggeration!

      @adamknight7041 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You obviously don't know what an "Opera singer" is because he's nothing of the sort he is a Classical-Pop tenor and not even a particularly good one; Andrea Bocelli, Russell Watson and Alfie Boe are all much better then him in that niche but he doesn't have the voice for the operatic stage.
      Jonathan Antoine just might if he dedicates himself to studying for it but time is ticking and I have my doubts he ever will.

    • @johnbattles1002
      @johnbattles1002 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@adamknight7041 , well, to each his own perception. In my estimation, he is, in fact, a very well-accomplished opera singer, AND one who is able to sing crossover as well. The ability to sing crossover or pop in no way should detract from the fact that he does, indeed, sing opera (Puccini, Verdi, and Wagner to name a few). This simply enhances the magnificence of his versatility. No one (at least in their right mind) would question the fact that Placido Domingo is a great opera singer. Yet, he has recorded a lot of pop songs as well! The first one, I believe, was “Perhaps Love” as a duet with John Denver, who was about as far removed from opera as one could imagine! There is no law or rule which says a musical artist, even an opera singer, MUST stay confined to one genre of music. That’s ludicrous! If someone like Potts, or Domingo, or Antoine, or Willighagen, etc., have the extraordinary skills to expand and broaden their horizons, they should not be held back, boxed in, and put down by prejudiced, small-minded people who take macabre delight in criticizing them. So, nice try, fella! 😄

    Jonathan Antin's 'Nessum Dorma' is also stunning. (he's the heavy opera singer that was nervous & sang with his friend Charlotte).
    Amira Willighagen singing in 2014 with Andre Reiu is listening to an angel.

    Suggest you react to the greatest contestant on American Idol - Adam Lambert. Start with his performance of "Mad World", but every time he performed he absolutely killed it. In case you don't know, Adam Lambert has been the lead singer for Queen for the past 10+ years. And, he has already released several of his own albums. Truly, he is a superstar!

    Believe it or not, James Corden played Paul Potts in a film covering this period of his life. And sadly a lot of the so-called Opera elite, critics mainly if i remember dissed him, who say's the class system is dead. Don't worry, they are nearly extinct.

Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown are Two country singers try to sing opera, Nessun Dorma. It’s incredible, I will attach it for you, I hate to admit that I might be a music snob, but good music is good music 🥰. Love your reactions, yes I have commented to many of your videos today, I would love to hear Dimash sing Nessun Dorma.

    Yo wats Bars and Barbells, if you wanna react to cricket to understand the rules better and how cricket is played, then react to these two cricket videos, one cricket video is called Cricket for Americans (by youtuber Slate) and the second cricket video is called The Rules of cricket explained (by youtuber Ninh Ly). Once you react to these cricket videos explaining about the rules of cricket and how it's played, you guys will get a clear, better understanding of cricket, and you will enjoy it even more. If you guys have questions or suggestions on what cricket videos to react to, I can help you guys, just ask me or I can leave a comment of what's the next cricket video for you to react to.
