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 Photos

 Simply wow! June 23, 2008

A friend sent me the YouTube segment of Paul winning the 'Britain's Got Talent' show and I knew I wanted to hear more. I am not a major fan of opera music but I like it now and then and this cd by Paul is definitely one I will listen to often. I hope he does more.
 Disappointing Debut Album June 23, 2008

What were they thinking to put out an album like this from the man who wants to sing opera? This is an odd assortment of songs with only Nessun Dorma from opera. And what's with singing pop songs in Italian? Did they not have enough opera songs that Paul was good at so that they had to take other songs that he knew and make them sound like opera? Then to include the hymns (O Holy Night and Silent Night), which Paul does okay with, but have been done far better by many singers. The worst stinker on the album is the Spanish version of My Way. Also Paul has an interesting way of pronouncing MUSIC. He sings "Moo-Sick", rather that "Mew-Sick" as most of us say it in the song Music of the Night. Paul has a way of going deep into the soul (or something like that) and bringing people to tears with his songs. (Yes, me too.) He is not the best singer, but with that way of getting to people in a very deep way, he will succeed. Give the man 10 stars, but this recording doesn't rate much more than 3 or 4. It's a shame and I truly hope this is not the "one chance" for Paul Potts to shine. I honestly believe he will shine if they do a good job on future albums.

My mother requested this CD by Paul Potts and loves it very much. He does have a great voice and seems to sing not just as an action in itself but is singing with enlivened passion and joy behind it. I leave this good review on behalf of my mother who loves Paul Potts' beautiful voice.
 A Gift June 7, 2008
I gave the Paul Potts CD, One Chance as a gift for Mother's Day. My mom said that she and my dad enjoyed listening to it as they traveled in the car. She commented that Paul Potts, "has an amazing talent."
