When Potts started out on one of those talent shows, the music/ opera snobs scorned and ridiculed him. Now listen to him! Atta boy Paul, make these "stuffed shirts" eat their words!
Well first of all this isn’t an operatic piece. It’s an art song. It only ends on an A4 for the tenor. Secondly, Potts’s power, resonance and interpretation come nowhere near that of the upper echelon opera singers. The only reason he isn’t lost in obscurity is BECAUSE OF Britain’s Got Talent. This isn’t me necessarily trying to scorn him, it’s a simple statement of fact having heard recordings of and been to concerts of many of the all-time greats.
@@fezzik7619 If we only heard world wide all time greats there wouldn't be much music in the world. Maybe 5 or 6 Opera Companies world wide? Do only the people in those cities deserve beautiful music. And are the company members in non starring roles not worthy of being heard at all? Just my opinion.
Just awesome, two performers from different cultures, different countries, singing in perfect harmony in a language that is foreign to them both, this is just world class.
This duet couldn't have been better put together her voice was a perfect compliment and Paul you just amaze me when you sing ,you sing from the heart and your soul , thank you.
Bravo. A wonderful rendition by these two splendid singers. Good to see Paul Potts sharing his gift with the world. I remember when he was on the talent show. It touched my heart then and seeing him now has made me happy to see doing what he loves and does so well. I do not know the name of the female singer in this video, but I can say this, she is a great talent and I am glad I got to experience her voice tonight. It is a good way to end the day.
Wow! I never expected that! I'm a 66 year old, crotchety old man who is highly cynical and unsophisticated for the most part and have no experience with music like this. I remember hearing Andrea Bocelli sing this years ago so decided to click the start button to listen. I have never heard of this young lady or anything about her before tonight but something very strange happened before the end of the song. I found that tears were streaming down my face and couldn't figure out why. I guess just admiring her elegance and grace, and listening to her sing so beautifully opened up the floodgates. Pretty god-damn glorious!
Wenn Paul Potts mit seiner Begleiterin singt ,dann ist Gänsehaut pur angesagt.Ich wünsche ihm alles Gute und Gottes Segen auf seinem weiteren Lebensweg um den Menschen weiterhin mit seinem Gesang Freude zu bereiten.
What an incredible talent, coupled with humility and simplicity. When you hear a two-voice song with this perfect harmony we should feel privileged of such beauty.
I could listen to these two’s rendition of this song a thousands times and love it just as much the last time as the first. She has such an incredibly pure voice, and he has an amazing vibrato tone. As a child, Marlo Lanza made me fall in love with opera and Paul Potts rekindled that love. If angles in heaven sing like these two, I can’t wait to get there. They are so gifted and blessed.
Paul smiling thinking what his life almost was ,,,, although talent like his you can't hide for long ,,,,, I love his modesty ,,,,, I still remember that first audition ,,,, 150,000,000 hits !!
+Stephanie Murray : LOL! Me too. I'm an old retired man who loves rock and roll, but I love this and have watched this many of the 150,000,00! MARVELOUS.
Paul's story is one that I relive over and over again! I well remember his first appearance on Britain's Got Talent, standing there in that cheap suit. But then he opened his mouth, and...wow! Incredible voice! he truly deserves fame and fortune!
Outstanding Been following Paul's Career since his first Audition on BHT What a God given gift of Talent, He has become God Bless him & his Family upon his success Etc.
I would be happy if the singing artists from all countries of the world could sing together without prejudice. We have only one WORLD and conflicts should be solved diplomatically and not on a battlefield❗
The soprano is Kanon Wakeshima, born June 28, 1988. She is a Japanese musician and singer, well known in many genre and performs as a Soprano, pianist & with her 4 cellos. She has more than 5 albums to her credit.
Always a thrill, to watch this fabulous musical creation featuring 2 Fantastic Performers. Thank you Paul Pott and many thanks to your amazing duet-partnership . I've seen this great performance of yours, your Japan's impressive triumph dozen of times. Unbelievable ! Warm regrads A.
Kanon Wakeshima has such a beautiful soprano voice and range even though I don't understand a word she is singing. She and Paul Potts make for a powerful duet. 👍
Fabulous, fantastic rendition. The audience was spellbound, living every second of that Magic Evening. The fine Female performer was excellent, a graceful poise, smooth and attractive. And a truly fine voice and endowed with an inspiring stage-presence Thank you, Mr. Paul Potts -- I've watched this vídeo dozens of times and your performance is always fresh, anew.
I'm really glad to see Paul is continuing to work on his gift, and that he's given the opportunity to do so, and knowing his love of singing I hope that makes him happy most of all.
he escuchado miles de veces canciones de opera, de grandes cantantes, pero de cierto les digo que este hombre cuando canta lo siente hasta nuestras almas que hasta llorar nos hace, es increíble como su forma d cantar pueda hacernos sentir tanta emoción, realmente es una bendición, muchos exitos mas !!
Bravo Bravo. Wow that's amazing. Paul done so well great bgt discovery. The lady equally amazing . Brilliant duet i would have payed good money see that live. ❤

I can't understand why such an exquisitely beautiful lady with such an exquisitely beautiful voice does not have a name.
Kanon Wakeshima
Tell us!
Is she related to Kanon Sleptshima?
she is name “kanon “
Paul Pott's voice has been a gift to me over the years, during many hard times. Thank you sir.

She has the voice of an angel, and his singing gives me goosebumps.
Ich kriege immer nasse Augen, wenn er singt!
Ihre Stimme ist nicht von dieser Welt, einfach göttlich
Amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So beautiful. I'm reasently widowed and beautiful music is great medicine God bless them
The problems between nations and cultures should be solved by bringing their musicians together. This is something for the soul.
Yeah, and their food too! LOL
your right there is so much energy in this song.
its very great
+Saigaijin69 Yup, they are totally heavy dude, with mellow vibes and love!
PRR5406 Tell that to Isis....they'll unlikely listen then behead you
Isis isn't a nation. It's a pervasion of a religion, and as evil as humans come.
Potts is great and the woman is fantastic! An absolute delight!

Perfectly stated John. Exactly my thoughts but better.

Well said!
Wonderful, so proud of what the shy but amazingly talented Paul has acheived, I remember watching his audition on BGT.
Such a professional performance by both. A real pleasure to listen to this.
He just wanted to sing, he followed his dream, and here he is, Inspirational and Moving, i hope for such courage in my walk.
Exactly. People who disparage Paul Potts and others that have a natural talent are simply mean spirited little people. I wish you well on your walk :)
she has the voice of an angel, best duet I've heard ever! fantastic
I agree - they just blew me away.
Only Andrea and Sarah are Best. Incredible versión.
Beautiful with it too
Check out Bocelli and Brightman doing the same duet, its pretty cool to.
I agree

As a half Welsh derbian I've nothing but admiration come good through hard work blessed with amazing voice
Kanon Wakeshima and Paul Potts singing touches my heart. They have such angelic voices, out of this world.
Glad to see Paul Potts doing good for himself i'm not really into opera but like his voice and like success stories :)
Music is the universal language of mankind and it transcends all barriers.
One of the most beautiful woman and voice!!! I’m in heaven.
I do agree, but have you caught up with Amira Willighagen WOW
What an incredible talent, coupled with humility and simplicity. When you hear a two-voice song with this perfect harmony we should feel privileged of such beauty.
I started to listen to Paul Potts after i heard the godfather theme that he sang, i'm love with his voice and i can't stop to seek by his musics lol

Rafael Barroeta totally agree
you've said it right man
I could listen to that all day long
There aren’t any words to describe how beautiful the two sang this touching song. Thank you for sharing your talents!
