This unassuming man, a 36 year old phone salesman from South Wales and amateur opera singer, stepped up to the microphone on Simon Cowell's British ITV show "Britain's Got Talent" and literally stole the show. Many anticipated another William Hung, but instead got a Caruso! The performance brought the entire audience to their feet, even winning high praise from Cowell himself. Potts went on to resoundingly win the competition! His is a real rags to riches tale, having been 30,000 in debt and suffering years of bullying and recovering from a serious motorbike accident. His winning the competition got him signed to a lucrative recording contract and he gained considerable media exposure all over the world. This debut album naturally features the piece he auditioned with (Puccini's "Nessun Dorma") as well as his heart stopping version of "Con Te Partiro/Time To Say Goodbye", the song he sang in the finals, originally made famous by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli.

3 of 5 Great performance but distorted CD tracks Friday, December 21, 2007
fkc from Lincolnwood, IL  

After seeing Paul Potts on the Internet like every one else, I was looking forward to receiving this CD. As we were listening, my young listeners immediately heard distortion on the first two tracks. I immediately disputed their claim but upon closer listening, I too heard the distortion. We even heard it on another system. What a disappointment.

orna49 from Key Largo, Florida  
What a fantastic voice. This is an album that will be played by me over and over again. I'm so glad that Paul Potts was discovered - he is the new version of Pavarotti!
