- All Hype and no Substance!
Isn't it amazing what TV and a whole bucket load of hype can do.
This guy would not get a part in an amateur production of Gilbert & Sullivan!Of course it's all a question of "the kings new clothes",if we criticise him we don't have a heart/cannot hear how well he sings, or just don't appreciate talent.(Where is it?)
Well, Mr Potts sings off key(often)and when he finds the key he continues by singing flat.
Make the best of it Mr Potts because the fickle world of "popular" music will soon tire of you,and when they do they will tear you to pieces, as they discover the fabrication that has been passed off as talent.
Talent cannot be invented,as has Paul Potts,it comes naturally;and this voice is decidely unatural.

- TRULY APPALLING PRODUCTION .
I WOULD NOT NORMALLY WRITE A REVIEW AFTER 96 PEOPLE HAVE BEFORE ME . MY REASON IN DOING SO IS THAT I FEEL NOBODY HAS HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH WHAT IS WRONG CONCERNING THIS ALBUM . IT IS RUINED COMPLETELY BY ALL THE ACCOMPANIMENTS WHICH ARE SIMPLY FAR TOO LOUD AND SWAMP THE SINGER ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ALBUM . IT IS ALL OUT OF PROPORTION AND THE MIXING IS DIRE . LISTENING IS CONSTANTLY PAINFUL AND IRRITATING . IT IS A BATTLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH . THE VOICE IS ALSO POORLY PRODUCED . AT TIMES ALL THE SOUND IS MUFFLED AND UNCLEAR . COUPLE THIS WITH NUMEROUS VERY POOR ARRANGEMENTS OF THE PIECES AND IT IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER IF YOU HAVE ANY GOOD TASTE . I DO THINK PAUL POTTS CAN SING AND I FIND PLEASANT TONES IN HIS VOICE . I HAVE NOT HEARD ... Read More:

- Hmmmm.....
I'm kind of undecided on this one. I think this guy obviously has a raw natural talent, and he sings musically and tells a story beautifully when he sings. His 'nessun dorma' definately does something for me.

I am a classical musician (not a singer, violinist), and if you want opera, don't buy this. Potts communicates the music very well, but he is not an opera singer. Just enjoy him for what he is, which is a nice voice (singing songs, which, by and large, are not from opera! Translating a pop song into Italian does not make it opera!). The songs are so cheesey you can practically smell them, and anyone with a good classical training could sing them just as well, but whether or not you like the way potts does it is deeply personal. ...

- not so good at all
paul potts is not that good. listen to pavarotti, bocelli, russell watson , gardar cortes to mention a few and you'll be able to see the comparison.
paul dosen't cut the cloth.he's a mobile phone salesman who sings as a hobby. he isn't a classical trained performer.
there are far better operatic albums out there to buy
unfortunately this album is rather dissappointing

- A singing success story

Paul Potts is a walking, singing example of how talent shows are so successful at both finding undiscovered talent and stirring the public into voicing their opinions and emotions so strongly towards that newly uncovered talent.

Opinions are generally divided between those who are able to take the singer for what he is (an ordinary guy with a natural gift for singing) and those who are grieved that his lack of operatic training has not hindered him in finding success in that music genre.

Technical perfection and music school education should not be prerequisites for being able to perform classical and operatic music, for history is rich with composers and artists who have found success with little or no formal training. ... Read More:
