Album Description: Former cell phone salesman and now Britians Got Talent winner Paul Potts has spent most of his life feeling insignificant and bullied, but says that his voice was always his one true friend, a voice that Simon Cowell calls simply magical.
Amazon.com: Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts has spent most of his life feeling 'insignificant'. Bullied at school for being 'different', he realized growing up that he had one true friend and that was his voice. Singing was his escape. He was able to lose himself in his own little world - the vicious words of his tormentors replaced by hauntingly beautiful lyrics and melodies that lifted his heart and spirit. It was a love, a passion, a lifeline that would follow Paul into adulthood and help him through many more periods of adversity.
Though it's fair to say that when Paul strolled awkwardly - almost apologetically - onto the Cardiff stage for his first Britain’s Got Talent audition a week before that final, in his now infamous £35 Tesco suit, and announced to Simon and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan that he was going to sing opera, they never thought for one minute they were looking at their winner. Until he opened his mouth and started to sing.

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 ... Read More

This was a gift to my Brother.We like Paul Potts. He sings from the heart.
But this particular album is too repetative.It would have been nice if he changed the rythm a little bit.
In other words a mixture of different rythms.It gets a bit monotonous.But he is a great singer,considering that he had no formal training.I like him.
Thank you,

Like millions of other people (apparently), I'm a sucker for a good "ugly duckling" story. And Paul Potts' story is certainly that--forget the fact that that very story was rather cynically played upon by Simon Cowell and the producers of BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT. Turns out that Paul did have more training and stage experience than we might have first been led to believe. He had major roles in amateur productions and had even studied in Italy for a time where he had occasion to sing before Pavarotti.
The core of the tale WAS true, however. He had certainly had a few moments of (amateur ... Read More
