Paul,
i saw you on Oprah today. Your voice is spectacular! It brought tears to my eyes. I'll be buying your CD within the next few days.
Thanks for bringing such joy to so many people.
His voice is wonderful, he reminds me of Mario Lanza who was my favorite tenor of all time. I will buy his music, because he is great! Good Luck, Paul Potts!!
An amazing opera singer, getting a lot of people from mexico the like for opera, youth/men/women, everybody loves to see paul's video in this spanish country!!
My mom forwarded me the you tube video and we both cried watching it. I just ordered three of the Christmas CDs, one for my mom, who has no idea that you have an album out, one for my in-laws who love great music and one for me, because I think that Opera is so amazing and you sing it phenomenally! Kudos to you!! Best of luck , I hope you sell tons of CDs
Paul, Once again, Congradulations. It does my heart good to see a very deserving Man, get what he deserves. I have been a security director for alot of venues, and have seen alot of entertainers. You, without a doubt, the best thing to happen to the music industry. I dont expect a reply, just wishing you all the best, in all your endevers. And by the way, dont change anything. Best of everything to you, and your family. Tim and Donna
No hay palabras para explicar la magia de tu voz. Me encanta el sentimiento que logras transmitir en cada nota. Te esperamos en Puerto Rico. Bendiciones
Paul you are amazing, I played the BGT video at least 10 times. I will be purchasing your new album asap. I absolutely love Nessun Dorma. Please stop in Ohio if you come to the States.
I seem to be behind in the times, but now that I've heard your voice, it has brought new meaning to the word...MUSIC!!! The music touched my heart in a way that leaves no words to express the meaning behind it. Thank you for sharing your gift with so many!!! Good luck with your career and I'll be looking forward to buying ALL of your CDs!!!
Paul, I saw you singing on Oprah today. "You are Awesome". I had chill bumps on my arms, your voice is so angelic. Stay humble, don't let anyone steal your dreams. God has given you a special gift, use it wisely. I'm so proud of you facing your fears like that. I know it must have been hard for you. Perhaps one day I will get enough courage to face my biggest fears. Stay Blessed, Peace.....SugarPlum
Paul,
I had never heard of you before but i just saw you singing Nessun Dorma on Oprah and you brought me to tears! The only other opera singer that has done that was the great Pavarotti. What an incredible voice you have and what a uplifting story. You are a dear. Just watched all the videos on this site and plan to buy your Christmas CD. I wish you much success in life.
I am a convert! Your voice brought tears to my eyes when I saw and heard you on Oprah today; but more than that, your story ... your quest for your passion ... touched my heart! Your courage and perseverance to reach your goal is truly inspirational. I wish you every one of life's blessings and thank you for the blessing you have given to me, to us ... the world. I just ordered your first CD and I anticipate untold joy will come to you and yours.
All the best,
you give all the little people hope. you share your heart and soul. the world wants you...you give me goosebumps when you sing. how special you are...thank you for sharing you with us.
Thanks for a great paul potts website, it really has heaps of information on Paul, can't wait to come back and read everything about him. He is such an inspiration!
Paul, As have many others, I cry every time I watch you sing - from joy! Never an opera fan, I am now. You are incredible and I am thrilled for your success. May all the joys and loves of life be yours. Your enthusiastic fan, Susan.
I do hope you see this. I just bought (from ITunes) your song Cavatina. It is just so romantic, and I would love to hear even more of that style of music from you.
I also bought your Christmas songs. Your voice is so wonderful. I love Christmas music even more so than all others. So, I do hope you will do an entire Christmas CD at some point. Your voice is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with the world. We are blessed.
It's been really exciting to watch your journey begin. Best wishes to you as you meet the challenges of celebrity. Remember who you are... it is why you can do what you do. God has blessed you with a great talent. I am thankful He has brought you here, if only to give us a little taste of what heaven is like. Smiles and Hugs, D
Your tour is missing a very important country....Canada!!! You need to come to Canada to share your breathtaking gift. When you come make sure to hit the west! Beautifully done!
I think that you are an inspiration for many of us, and for those who always hold their dreams close to their heart. Your story is truly one to be shared. You have restored my interest in Opera in a time where great music is lacking. Thank you
Paul,
I watched Oprah today and fell in love with your story and your voice. You are a true inspiration to many. Following the show I immediately purchased two of your CD's - one for myself and one for my parents. I have NEVER enjoyed opera but something changed today when hearing your voice. God bless.....
Mary
Hi Paul,
I just wanted to leave a quick note to let you know what an amazing person you are. I was off work sick today and just happened to turn on Oprah this afternoon. I was completely floored by your story and your voice. I will be buying several of your cds for Christmas presents (and one for myself, of course!). I am a big opera fan and you certainly rank right up there in my books.
Cheers, and good luck in the future.

Watching you on Oprah today was beyond touching and inspiring! Listening to your story brought tears to my eyes and gave so many people in this world, as well as myself, hope, wisdom and courage to chase our dreams. God has given you a special gift and always stay true to yourself. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see you in concert. Canada loves you!
Paul, I got Paul Potts goosebumps all over my body while watching you on Oprah! I have no idea where I have been but missed your talent until tonight!
Thanks for being you and wishing you even greater success to the two of you! I am now a fan and look forward to having your CD's in my home, office & auto! Wish you would come to Branson, MO some of these days!!!
Paul,
Two things you said and wrote got me really thinking: something along the lines of just wanting to do what you were born to do and the other having to do with whether you should change your smile.
Paul, you are a beautiful example of what a perfect God has done in times past and still does today as you have proven.
In regards to doing what you were born to do always remember these words: "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." (Psalm 139:14) Not only is the awesome and wonder of your voice more real to you personally, but it is also now known to the entire world. Give praise to the One Who made it so.
And if you are still wondering whether you should alter your external appearance remember these words: "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5) This verse was written concerning the prophet Jeremiah, but the application to your life is plainly evident. Everything about you, whether done while in your mother's womb (formed) or during your life's experiences (the application of sanctified) has been done specifically on purpose. Nothing about you is an accident. God through His Son Jesus has purpose-full-ly designed every facet of your being. Rest in this truth.
A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me if I had seen the Paul Potts video on YouTube. I thought he had said Pol Pot and asked why would anyone want to watch a video of the late Cambodian dictator and former leader of the Khmer Rouge. My friend replied "No, Paul Potts singing opera." So I Googled and found the video. I'm now among the legion of fans inspired by Paul's story. He proves that betting on oneself is always worth the risk.
I saw you today on Opray and I wanted to hear more so I got on
my pc and found your audition for "Britian Has Talent".
You were/are AWESOME!!! You made me an opera fan and if you
ever come to Jacksonville, Florida I plan to be there on the front row.
When you sang Nessum Dorma I couldn't replay it enough times.
Can't wait until I can download you singing that song to my cell phone.
You are so grateful and humble with such incredible talent.
All wonderful attributes. Please stay that way!!! :)
Are you really still selling cell phones? :)
The best to you always,
(I'm sooooo glad I watched Opray today!!!)
the beauty of opera lives on to my generation through Paul Potts
My father and his best friend (they have both passed, but would be 91 if they were here) used to have "opera saturday" at my parent's house in Kansas City. I have my father's emotions and can't stop "welling up" since I just saw the link to your video. Thank you for providing the beauty of song to those of us around the world. I live in Minnesota now and have passed along your story to many; who I am sure will pass along to others too. Congratulations on your dream! I didn't even know you were on Oprah either!
Mr. Potts,
Congratulations on your astounding rise to stardom. We are very happy for you and wish you and your family all the best life has to offer.

I guess I'm catching on to this wave a bit late, I've just caught the tail end of your Oprah special and I was absolutely moved. I immediately went to searching online for your story, which is tremendously inspiring, but your music, wow....can't even get close with words. You are an inspiration for anyone who has ever aspired to be someone of their own, to be unique and follow a dream. Thank you
No words can adequately describe the effect your voice had on me today. I had never heard you sing until today when on a whim I turned on the TV and caught part of the Oprah show. As soon as you started to sing, I felt chills from my toes to the top of my head. I taped the show and over the course of the evening I've listened to you sing several times on TV and on YouTube and to my surprise each time the effect has been electric. What an amazing gift you are to the world, Paul Potts! Your incredible talent and your inspiring story - a gentle and humble man who after years of struggle and adversity finally gets to do what he's always known he was meant to. You have been truly blessed and in turn you are blessing us. Your whole life has turned into a beautiful love story-like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. Thank you. And thank you too, Julie-Ann, for giving Paul the love, confidence and courage he needed to follow his dream.

WOW WOW WOW, You are truely the next Great Singer!!!! God has blessed us with your amazing voice. Welcome to America.
Best wishes and many years of sucess!!!!!!!!
Paul,
I have never heard of you before and just saw on your Oprah- Your courage and willingness to risk is truly an inspiration to anyone who's felt insecure or that they just weren't good enough- Congratulations on living your dream and touching so many around you.
