Summary: Paul Potts CD
Comment: He obviously has a delightful voice, but he's also obviously an amateur. Even with orchestration so close to Il Divo's (and that was a cheap shortcut in my estimation) it wasn't enough to hide the fact he should spend a good solid year with a voice coach before he decides he's professional. It's an enjoyable CD but I wasn't impressed enough to play it very often.
Customer Rating: Summary: absolutely amazing
Comment: Personally I can't stand opera because I don't understand the words. With Paul Potts the words don't matter. His voice grabs you and floats you right through the song and leaves you begging for more. Thoroughly recommend for any art enthusiast..
Customer Rating: Summary: Great
Comment: I don't know what it is, but Paul Potts makes you listen to him. Maybe it's his vibrato, but he makes you want to listen.
Customer Rating: Summary: One Chance Paul Potts
Comment: Best I have ever heard....I am 72 (USA) Wonderful.
There are not enough adjectives to give Paul Potts
the credit he deserves. Makes my heart happy and my eyes leak.
Customer Rating: Summary: Simply outstanding
Comment: Many seem to want to compare Paul Potts to the great opera tenors past and present and point out that he is not technically as proficient as they are/were. These observations may be true, they may be opinion, they may be irrelevant seeing how most of the songs on One Chance are NOT from operas though sung in an operatic style. I, for one, couldn't care less how he ranks with opera snobs. I'd bet the majority who bought his album don't care either. Paul Potts' claim to fame is that he delivers a song in such a way that it can move people to tears and make the hair on your arms stand up. This is his greatest talent (though I do also consider him a truely gifted vocalist with a long career ahead of him). The underdog story just makes the whole package that much sweeter. Critics must also keep in mind that this album was rushed together in one month. Personally, I think it is incredible and I would have paid anything to get it. Like many I watched the BGT Youtube video dozens of times. His performance of Nessun Dorma truely affected me and on that I bought one chance. I love most of it and am simply overwhelmed by other parts. I could pass on "everybody hurts" and "my way" simply because I think they are cheesy songs. The jewel on this album is "Nella Fantasia". It is simply ......well, I don't know......there don't seem to be adjectives sufficient to express how powerful this song is. It's a great song on it's own, but Paul's delivery takes it to a completely different level. They say he sold two million copies of "one Chance". I honestly believe that if he had sung Nella Fantasia on the BGT Final (as opposed to doing Nessun Dorma again) that he would have sold 4-5 million copies of One Chance. Buy this album.....opera fan or not (90% of the time I listen to hardcore metal like Slayer!!). I can't wait to see what this gifted giant brings us next. The bus is not stopping any time soon, Paul. Enjoy the ride.
