    Back in 2007, “Britain's Got Talent" was airing its first season. It was a show designed to unearth extraordinary talents. When a seemingly ordinary mobile phone salesman named Paul Potts stepped onto the stage, nobody could guess what would happen next. Little did the world know that this unassuming figure, whose voice was often his only solace in the face of adversity, would rise to become the quintessential ordinary hero.
    Sixteen years have passed since that fateful first season of "Britain's Got Talent," and in that time, Paul has achieved what many could only dream of. Join us as we tell you what really happened to Paul Potts From Britain’s Got Talent!

      So he was already recognized as a top performer, had many many high end performances behind him. And then goes on an (Amature) talent show! And then becomes rich and more successful. Clever man, wish him luck

    I often listened to him merely thinking he had a great voice and how much I envied him that and thought that way for years then a few years ago I came across a clip of him singing in the Kiev theatre singing La Prima Volta. It was then I realized that this man went beyond just a great voice and elevated him to a standard few others will ever meet. My favourite male singer is Bocelli but Potts' talent has pushed him onto that same pedestal IMHO. A lovely bloke with the most beautiful vocal cords who has worked hard to please his fans and never failed to do so. What a voice!

His voice may be mediocre when compared to the tenor greats but his determination, stickability, humility and consideration for the well-being of those less fortunate is worthy of anybody's praise. If only the commentary of this film were half as attractive. Until artificial intelligence technology is developed which produces accurate pronunciation, please, please have a human being do the commentary.

I am sure that Mr Potts would be the first to agree that his name should not be uttered in the same breath as Pavarotti, Florez, Caruso, Bjorling, Domingo or Carreras, to mention but a few. I don't understand why you are so incensed, everything else I said was complimentary to Mr Potts and I wish him nothing but continued success.

    Wasn't he accused of not being an amateur when he went on BGT. I did like the movie they made about his life I remember in the movie he went to a school where Pavarotti didn't think much of him. People said Opera in general where snooty people didn't like anyone performing it except in an Opera setting funny after Paul Pavarotti and others started to perform in non-classical music settings or Operas.
