They sure had judged him based on appearance & his humility. Pierce, or whatever his name, can be a pompous dude as I’ve seen when he’s interviewed folks. The look that he gives when Paul says, ‘I’m going to sing opera’, & then the look that follows when Paul starts singing, is priceless, like he’d gotten slapped. Amanda is even condescending even after he made her wet herself....’lump of coal turned into a diamond’, ‘frog turned into a prince’. She almost passed out.
His first performance won it. It was in that performance his true self burst out of. Nothing quite matches that moment. The look in his eyes is special, it's the only time he has this look. It's as if he is in a trance, it's sadness, despair, determination, and retribution.
Paul you are my hero for real. You grew up getting bullied which lead to you not having any self confidence. You were on the low end of the totem pole no one even seen you coming, yet you had the courage and strength to step on a international stage and blew everyone's mind. You are a role model man.
Paul comes out so humble and insecure to the stage, he becomes a lion when he sings and then he is the same humble man he was when he came to the stage. Amazing!
Wow couple of years later I'm watching Sir Potts performing a Nussen Dorma wow !wow! really when God has decided its your time no one will take the spot light from you. God keep blessing you more, shame to the judging never judge a person by their appearance
My parents instilled in me a deep appreciation for music, all genres of music. My mother lived classical such as this. I remember her and I cleaning house or making dinner for the family and wonderful singers like Paul Potts on the classical radio station back in Detroit were singing. I didn't get it back then, I just enjoyed spending time with my Mom. I lost my Mom on August 28th, 2001 to cancer, two weeks before the 911 attacks. I was in service at the time and home on emergency leave. I was recalled the day after New York and Washington DC were hit. And I won't forget the Pennsylvania field. But that was shadowed by the loss of my mother. I never really had the opportunity to grieve for my Mom. I listen to this beautiful music to thus day and for a few moments I'm connected with my mother again. I still don't understand what they are saying, but that's okay, I don't have to know. To my Mother, I get it now Mom. Over 18 years later and there is still a hole in my heart that can not be filled. I miss and love you so much Mom.
My beautiful dad and I used to watch this video together. We enjoyed it so much. I can't forget my dad either. I often dream about him and cry sometimes. My only comfort is my wife and little daughter.
@@MrKennytrcka Dont cry for your lose, instead, celebrate the life, times and love you and your Dad had together. None of us are guaranteed a specific amout of time here. So live, laugh and love like everyday was your last. Celebrate your life and those you love brother. Tell you what, ill celebrate you and your beautiful families life. Ill go home and make a big bowl of pasta for dinner and I'll set a place for you and your family in hopes that you are having a good meal with them.
@@darrenheadrick3669 I really appreciate your very comforting words and your celebration. It sounds like a great idea to cure our grief. I will do the same. Thanks a lot!
Ive listened to every version of nesu dorma but only Paul's versión makes cry every single time. He sings with his heart and touches yours for a split second.
Why would anybody hate on Paul Potts this man is amazingly talented I know not nothing abt operatic music but respect-where respects due. Nice one paul
I can’t get enough of this fellow, Paul!!!! I just want to keep watching him and listening to him! As Simon says, he just wants Paul to do well or win or somesuch! That’s the way I feel! He is so humble and since he was bullied as a kid and fell and broke his tooth or teeth in the front, etc. oh, also being very much in debt I think when he came to the competition! I just want him to succeed, succeed, succeed! I think he deserves it!
I agree. I'm Mrs Darley and I'm a retired classical singing teacher. Some of my pupils are now professional classical singers in the UK but in all the hundreds of beginners I've thankfully brought forward, with God, I didn't want to believe any 'hype ' about Britain's Got Talent singer winner Paul Potts because the parents of my pupils were constantly telling me about how good his voice is. I didn't want to believe any hype in case it would be disappointing as I don't want any more disappointment. So, by 2020, Britain's Got Talent 2007 popped up on my screen and I thought, I'm retired so I won't feel the disappointment so much now. I had to protect myself from possible disappointment because I have Major Depression medically. So I took the chance on 13th June 2020 to listen to Paul Potts for the first time and I am so glad I did because now I have awoken to what my pupil's parents were saying all along! All good things come from God therefore for God to allow us to have this person with this voice actually glorifies God. Praise God that Mr Potts has wife and home and extended family. I only hope that he knows how blessed he is and that he is singing now to glorify the Lord! Amen +Jesus and Mary and Joseph+
I had heard Pavarotti's interpretation of this sublime song before. It always sounded technically perfect, but not as heartfelt as this interpretation sounds. So emotional. Being inspired by this even in 2019.
Realmente es asi o es lo que los medios nos hacen creer? alguien que sepa de música que nos pueda dar una critica objetiva? Para mi se oye bonito pero yo no se mucho de musica de voz de cabeza y de pecho, de color de voz, etc, etc.

I love Poul, person who day to day struggle becomes a superstar ( at least for me) every time I watch his audition my eyes are dripping... best of luck, you deserve it Paul!
'Nessun dorma...' 'Let no one sleep...' No one would be after that. They would all have to be on their feet, cheering their heads off. Even Simon had tears in his eyes at 14:14
My favorite Aria from Turandot by Giacomo Puccini! As an executive music producer, I knew from the first time he began to sing one of the most difficukt Arias, he was going to win! Bravo Paul! Bravo!
funny thing is. i already knew paul potts in bgt. then one day i just watched this movie on my tv without knowing is about him. the moment almost the end when he went to bgt im blown away , this is paul potts story!!
I've been listening to Placido, Pavarotti, Carreras and Del Monaco most of my life. Now I hear this guy and must ask myself: HOW? I'm still completely shocked. This guy's a Miracle.
Buying all of this beautiful soul’s albums. I love opera. Thank you very much for shining your beautiful spirit and beautiful soul upon this world for you sing with the archangels of Heaven! ALOHA from Hawaii!
he has such a sad look in this video that it made me sad too .... but after seeing him currently I saw that this presentation changed his life and also the face that now seems much happier and more fulfilled, I was very happy for him
Amanda is absolutely, undoubtedly, without a doubt,. beautiful. In her reactions and mannerisms. I watch this over and over not only for Paul's performance but also to watch Amanda's reaction as well.
i'm french , i have look this vidéo 50 000 times , Paul , God have touch you man , you are my Angel , i love you man , ( i'm not gay) >< i love your story for all the time in my life , ( sorry for my bad english =) ) and Thx Paul Potts for the alls emotions kiss baby =) >< Oo
Amanda is so correct when she says “I think we have a little piece of coal here that’s going to turn into a diamond” Purely because that’s what happened Paul turned from a store employee to a rich middle aged man with a net worth of 10,000,000
For those of you who aren't opera aficionados or understand Italian, the last lines Paul sang "... All’alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!" translates to "At dawn, I will win. I will win. I will win." And Paul did. I always wonder if Paul planned it.
forever wonderful, just by imagening this first moment of deepest, devine surprise. It`s not about any arrogance... because the judges came a long, long, very long way of suffering... and even beyond of this the british judges are `the` quality. A quality for itself. Compare, if you don`t agree... there countries enough, and among those the Russians are best in summary. But who cares about comparison : Pauls first audience is still simply `the` wonderful most honest moment of any castings at all... Thank just simply to all actors, being so honest, thanks: Fairy tail of modern times... and we had the grace, to be lifetime whitness.

Paul Potts shocks the judges who were judging him before he opened up his mouth. Good for you Paul, you deserved that win in Britain has Talent.
They sure had judged him based on appearance & his humility. Pierce, or whatever his name, can be a pompous dude as I’ve seen when he’s interviewed folks. The look that he gives when Paul says, ‘I’m going to sing opera’, & then the look that follows when Paul starts singing, is priceless, like he’d gotten slapped. Amanda is even condescending even after he made her wet herself....’lump of coal turned into a diamond’, ‘frog turned into a prince’. She almost passed out.
They didn’t learn from this, they did the same thing with a certain Scottish singer a few years later, can’t remember her name though……😉
Best winner also for me, a German ;)

Incredible voice. Now an incredible career. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. So well deserving.

After so many years, it is still a source of motivation for any ordinary day.

It's about soooo much more than the money!!!! You missed so much bud!
Paul comes out so humble and insecure to the stage, he becomes a lion when he sings and then he is the same humble man he was when he came to the stage. Amazing!
Paul potts is the greatest got talent contestant and winner there ever was and will be. He made opera singing much more popular than before.
One of the originals and, still, years on, one of the absolute best. Still love it Paul, 👏
Paul is the perfect example of A NATURAL.

What awesome talent for such a humble man. Truly a fairytale ending.
I don't understand a word hes sayin as he sings and I am not a fan of Opera yet he still managed to make me cry
Me too 😢😢😢 i just love his voice, full of emotions
@jack northfield I watched One Chance. It made me cry even more when he sing 😭

If you cry when you hear opera. you are a fan. That is the appropriate emotional response.

22nd February 2022. Words are not enough to describe how sublime Paul Potts' voice is.
So so good bravo
Amanda is so correct when she says “I think we have a little piece of coal here that’s going to turn into a diamond”
Purely because that’s what happened Paul turned from a store employee to a rich middle aged man with a net worth of 10,000,000
No. He was always a 💎 that was overlooked and ridiculed
Well I have 20 million (!!!!)
OK...is it just me, or did the female judge have a 'special moment' at the 2:01 mark? Wow...this guy can sing.
I LOVE YOU PAUL YOU ARE fantastic , hope to see you sing in person one day ,if we get so lucky,thank you. LOVE T /M
ONE OF THE FIRST!!!🤩🤩🤩
Truly one of those WTF moments in life which is why we all should never judge a book by its cover.
Don't belittle anyone. There is a great god than you. Think about what I will be, not what I am.
Lovely to be an italian and understand him ! :P
Sometimes life is just right :)
