Paul Potts Classic Video (what started the craze)
Paul Potts' first performance on TV - June 9, 2007 - Puccini's "Nessun dorma"

Paul Potts
Where: Winspear Centre
When: Saturday evening
Edmonton — Everybody likes to cheer the underdog.

It’s the reason why we’re deluged with – sorry, I mean blessed by – so many variations on the talent show theme. Simon Cowell figured out this very basic equation a number of years back, and now rakes in uncountable, even obscene amounts of dollars pandering to our very basic need to see the good guy or girl win out.

Considering much of the garbage churned out by television’s premier tastemaker, it’s a relief that on occasion someone sneaks through that actually justifies even a slight bit of the hype.

He blew fans away in Hong Kong with some signature arias including "Nessun Dorma", the song that catapulted him to fame in 2007 on the maiden season of "Britain's Got Talent".

And the shy former mobile phone salesman has captured quite a few hearts as well, with his humble demeanor.

The 38-year-old British tenor recorded his second album "Passione" with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.

IT’S hard not to feel awed and inspired when you’re in the company of Paul Potts, the winner for the first season of popular reality TV show Britain’s Got Talent in 2007.

His journey to stardom reads like a fairy tale, one that is laced with drama, tragedy, personal triumph and a little bit of 21st century magic courtesy of TV and the Internet.

One would remember him performing Puccini’s emotional aria Nessun Dorma (from the opera Turandot) during the show’s audition that eventually went on to become a sensation on YouTube with millions of hits to date.

Just like the show’s recent finalist Susan Boyle, Potts’ talent came as a huge surprise.

Here’s an awkward Bristol cell phone salesman in a US$70 dollar suit looking like a deer caught in headlights on stage.

Naturally, the show’s judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden were sceptical at first.

I found a website that contains the lyrics of all the songs from Paul's latest album, Passione. The link of the site is http://www.clyric.com/albums/25674/Paul+Potts--Passione

If somebody can translate these songs to English, that will be very nice for all of us especially for those who do not understand Italian. Thank you very much.

Here all the lyrics of all the 10 songs in Passione:

La Prima Volta (First Time Ever I Saw Your Face)
(E. McColl)

La volta che ho visto il viso tuo
É nato il sole negli occhi miei
Di luna e di stelle questo buio in me
Si ferí e morí d'amor d'amor

La volta che la bocca tua baciai
Tremó la terra intorno a noi
Fintanto confusa la mia anima
Diventó prigionera tua d'amor

La volta che sei diventata mia
Sento il mio cuore dentro di te

Dove non so, so solo che ti amai
Amai
Amai
Ti amai

Sei Con Me (There For Me)
(A. La Bionda/ C. La Bionda/ C. Ricanek/ J. Palmer/ M. Saggese)

Sei con me
Anche se lontani noi
Si, tu ci sei con me
Pensami ogni giorno, sei
Il mio destino ormai
Piu pauro non avró
Se tu ci sei con me

E penso io e te
Non ci lasceremo mai
É tanto bello sai
Sentirti dire che sei mia
E quando sei con me
Vicino a me
Stringimi

Se non sei con me mi sembra grigia la cittá
Camminando solo i piccoli vedo giocar
Volti e voci del passato che non ricordavo piú
Mi chiedono

Se tu ci sei per me
Forse quelche giorno poi
Il mondo capirá che non molto capitar
E tu ci sei per me, senti cosa diocono
Si, tu ci sei per me

Ora che sei con me
Vicino a me
Stringimi

Dimmi quanto tempo ancora resterai con me
Dimmi quante cosi nascondi dentro te
Molti sogni abbiamo che alfin potremmo vivere
Io spero che

Se tu ci sei per me
Forse quelche giorno poi
Il mondo capirá che non molto capitar
E tu ci sei per me, senti cosa diocono
Se tu ci sei con me

Se tu ci sei per me, senti cosa dicono
Se tu ci sei con me
Sei con me
Sei con me

Un Giorno Per Noi (A Time For Us)
(N. Rota/ L. Kusik/ E. Snyder/ A. Rapetti)

Un giorno sai per noi verrá
La libertá di amarci qui senza limiti
E fiorirá il sogno a noi negato
Si svelerá l'amor celato ormai
Un giorno sai per vivere
La vita che ci sfugge qui

L'amore in noi superará
Gli ostacoli e le maree delle avversitá
E ci sará anche per noi nel mondo
Un tempo in cui l'amore vincerá

Un giorno sai per vivere
La vita che ci sfugge qui

E ci sará anche per noi nel mondo
Tempo in cui l'amore vincerá

Il Canto
(R. Musumarra/ L. Barbarossa)

La notte qui non torna piú
Dal giorno che sei andata via
de il cielo ha smesso di giocare
Con le stelle e con la luna
E le nuvole sono ferme qui
Come lacrime che non cadono

Vedi come il tempo
Perde anche i ricordi

Resta solo il canto
Di un amore che non muore
Prendi la mia mano
Danza con il vento
Apro le mie ali

Resta solo il canto
Di un amore che non muore
Prendi la mia mano
Danza con il vento
Apro le mie ali

Posso solo amarti cosí
Vieni vieni
via con me
(Resta solo il canto
di un amore che non muore)

Prendi la mia mano
Danza con il vento
Apro le mie ali
Posso solo amarti cosí
Vieni vieni
Via con me

Nel letto si é svegliato con me
Questo amore é per te

Senza Luce (A Whiter Shade Of Pale)
(G. Brooker/ K. Reid/ M. Fisher)

Han spento giá la luce
Son rimasto solo io
E mi sento il mal di mare
Il bicchiere peró é mio
Cameriere lascia stare
Camminare io so
L'aria fredda sai mi sveglierá
Oppure dormiró
Guardo lassú la notte
Quanto spazio intorno a me
Sono solo nella strada
O no qualcuno c'é

Guardo lassú la notte
Quanto spazio intorno a me
Sono solo nella strada
Insieme a te insieme a te
Sono solo nella strada
Qualcuno c'é
Insieme a te
Insieme a te

Piano (Memory)
(A. Lloys Webber/ T.S Eliot/ T. Nunn/ R. Ferri)

Piano questi passi d'amore
Sulla strada del cuore
Che mi porta da te
Soffia il vento del tempo
Questa notte che va
Sempre qui ci troverá

Piano senza far rumore
Gira il mondo le ore
Quanta fretta che ha
Un ricordo domani
Questa notte sará
Sempre qui poi tornerá

Nasce il sole
Che cosí
Ci troverá abbracciati
La sua mano
sulla porta piano
Spalanca il cielo al mattino

Giorno mentre arriva l'inverno
Un fedele ritorno
La sua neve cadrá
E la notta piú chiara
Questa sera sará
Quando il buio scenderá

Nasce il sole
Che cosí
Ci troverá abbracciati
La sua mano
Sulla porta piano
Spalanca il cielo al mattino
Forte e lo voglio gridare
Questo amore piú forte
Questa notte sará
Quenate volte
Nel letto si é svegliato con me
Questo amore é per te

Mamma (J. Larossi/ A. Romdhane/ S. Kotecha/ C. Rapino)

Mamma ti voglio ringraziar
Il grazie che non ti ho detto mai
Ringrazio Dio per il tuo amor
Per ogni dí insieme a te

Mamma so che ricorderai
Giorni di luce e giorni di guai
Desidero di gioventú
Che mai piú cambierá

So che tu credi che nei tuoi sogni vedrai
Io che vengo da te e bambino piú che mai
Esser sempre con te come mi vuoi tu
E mancherai, mi mancherai

Mamma domani io partiró
E nei pensieri miei sarai
Mi chiedo se perdonerai
Le volte che io ti lasciai
Io ti lasciai

So che tu credi che nei tuoi sogni vedrai
Io che vengo da te e bambino piú che mai
Esser sempre con te come mi vuoi tu
E mancherai, mi mancherai

Mamma spero sorriderai
Memorie che non perderai
Memoria che non morirá
Sogno te senza etá
Senza etá

In tutti i sogni miei
Mamma

Tristesse
(Chopin/ A. Romdhane/ J. Larossi/ U. Janson/ H. Janson)

É triste il mio cuor senza di te
Che sei lontana e piú non pensi a me
Dimme perché
Fai soffrir quest'anima che t'ama
E ti vuole vicin

Sei tu la vision che ogni sera
Sognar fa il cuor che nell'amore spera
Ma é un'illusion
Piú da me non tornerai
Forse un'altro bacerai
Mentre triste vola la canzon
Che canto a te
Solamente a te
Dolce sogno d'or
Questo vuole il cuor
Triste senz'amor

Bellamore (M. saggese/ M. Vergnaghi)

Chissa
Se é vero che si puó
Anche solo per un attimo
Rivivere
Le cose che vorrei
Non dimenticare mai

Che bellamore
Pagine d'oro
Che porteró con me
Scritte nell'anima

Che bellamore
É come un fiore che
Profumerá
Per sempre non appasirá

Vorrei
Riuscire a credere
Di poter fermara il temp
Sapendo che
C'é sempre un cielo blu
Oltre quelle nuvole

Che bellamore
Pagine d'oro
Che porteró con me
Scritte nell'anima

Che bellamore
É come un fiore che
Inverno non conoscerá

Che bellamore
Pagine d'oro
Che resteranno scritte nell'anima

Che ballamore
L'amore mio per te
Sará cosí
Niente potrá cambiarlo mai
Cambiarlo mai

E Lucevan Le Stelle
(G. Puccini/G. Giacosa/ L. Illica/ A. Romdhane/ J. Larossi/ U. Janson/ H. Jahson)

E lucevan le stelle
E olezzava la terra
Stridea l'uscio dell'orto
E un passo sfiorava la rena
Entrava ella fragrante

Mi cadea fra le braccia
Oh dolci baci e languide carezze
Mentr'io fremente
Le belle forme discogliea dai veli
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore
L'ora é fuggita
E muoio disperato
E muoio disperato
E non ho amato tanto la vita
Tanto la vita

"The whole of my life, I've tried to follow the virtues of 'If,' a poem by Rudyard Kipling," said Paul Potts at a news conference on Tuesday at the Westin Chosun in Seoul to promote his follow up album, "Passione." The poem is an ode to perseverance of the human spirit which motivates those who have experienced life's setbacks to bounce back. It is a fitting selection relevant to the tenor's life.

"The poem talks about meeting trials and disasters but urges you to live exactly the same way no matter what you face in life because you have to live with yourself for a very very long time," he said.

The winner of the popular show ``Britain's Got Talent'' arrived in Seoul once again last Saturday with high hopes and a tight schedule: an autograph event; an appearance on a local television show; a free performance at Seoul Plaza; and even a short appearance as a guest judge for the Korean version of ``American Idol,'' Mnet's ``Superstar K.''

``I wanted it to be the reflection of my emotions, from love, hope to despair. I wanted to cover all the emotions,'' Potts explained.

Discovering Paul was an overwhelming thrill. While I´ve not been a devoted fan of opera, many of the male tenors have stayed in my view and in my collection of classical CDs. Certainly, till now, no-one has come close to the power and emotion of Nessum Dorma (from the opera Turandot) as sung by Luciano Pavarotti. I never thought I would be privileged to hear another singer approach the performance of the greatest Italian tenor of our age. Not till Mr. Potts. And it´s not that he is as good as or better than Pavarotti, it´s that he brings to this piece and his other music as well, a subtle wholeness, a smoothing sweetness even when his voice is blasting out and holding some impossibly long high note. As the title of his second CD suggests, he brings a quite passion to his music.

Paul Potts has insisted that he does not regard Susan Boyle as a rival following her recent success.

Potts also revealed that he has become more ambitious since making his TV debut two years ago.

"It's good to get a day off occasionally. But when you're in the market, you think, 'What could I be doing with today to become even more successful?' You think, 'Just get me some work. Get me a performance on a channel'."...

And in Sweden, Mexico, Japan... As the UK remains gripped by the Susan Boyle saga, original 'Britain's Got Talent' star Paul Potts has been steadily − and politely − charming the rest of the world

An hour into the show, the opera singer Paul Potts takes to the stage. The 2007 winner of the television programme Britain's Got Talent, Potts has been a huge success in Germany, selling one million copies of his first album. As he approaches the microphone, the woman next to me stiffens with excitement.

Potts is dressed in a dinner jacket, a white handkerchief in his breast pocket, and stands on a stage bathed in a soft, orange light. He delivers a brilliant rendition of the old German standard, Dein ist mein ganzes Herz. When he finishes, the audience goes wild. They jump to their feet – my female neighbour included – and applaud for what seems like an eternity. It is an astonishing reception. 'I'm quite pleased,' Potts tells me later, with masterful understatement. 'I think it went well.'

And what of Paul Potts, winner of Britain's Got Talent in 2007? The rotund tenor has already enjoyed far more than his 15 minutes of fame. Having guested on many of the most famous television shows in America, and had a taste of presenting in Australia, he is unlikely to have to return to his former role of managing a branch of a Carphone Warehouse. He begins a North American tour next month, promoting his second album, which is released in the UK today.

"It was a great experience to meet Oprah [Winfrey] – [her show is] one of the most important shows in the world," says Potts, 38, in his Bristol burr. "She's got her own studios and the people are incredibly friendly. It's in a great city, too, Chicago. It's clean, cosmopolitan and one of my favourite cities in the States. I'm going to perform in a concert there in July."

TWO years ago, Paul Potts stood at the edge of the stage at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff wondering what the hell he was doing.

The mobile phone salesman was watching the act on stage before him auditioning for the new ITV show Britain's Got Talent.

The man was whistling bird song while his wife was dancing to it wearing a pink pashmina scarf.

They were getting heavily booed and heckled.

"At that moment I was very close to walking away," Paul now admits.

"I wondered why I was doing it.

"You don't see it as a crossroads at the time, but life can make you take some funny turns. That was one of them."

I've seen that this charity auction website has got tickets to Thursdays semi final of Britains Got Talent! Here's the link if anyone's interested and wants to go and cheer their favourite act on,

The flip of a coin gave Paul Potts the courage to take life by the horns to achieve instant fame

IT TOOK a flip of a coin to change Paul Potts’ entire life. Heads he entered Britain’s Got Talent, tails he didn’t. The rest, as they say, is history.

The last two years have been an epic journey of ­incredible hard work and dedication. His debut album, One Chance, which sold over 3.5 million ­copies, rocketed to the number one spot in 13 countries ­(including in the UK, Canada, ­Australia, Hongkong and ­Mexico) and stormed to the top 10 in a further eight. In the UK, his album outsold the entire top 10 collectively in its first week

Rotund tenor Paul Potts shot to fame in 2007 after he took a break from flogging mobile phones in Port Talbot to go and sing on Britain's Got Talent. His breathtaking performance of 'Nessun Dorma' left the nation lifting their collective jaw from the floor and eventually won him the ITV1 show crown. Since then, his debut LP One Chance has reached number one in 13 countries, he's met Oprah Winfrey, the Prime Minister and performed for the Queen at the Royal Variety. With his second album out next month, we caught up with Paul to find out how he's handling the fame.

Do you feel any added pressure after the overwhelming success of One Chance?
"I think there's extra pressure on any artist for their second album. With the first one, it's just about establishing yourself. I've had more time with this record. The first album was made very, very quickly. It was completed in just one week after the show. So it is fantastic to now have an album out that I've had a lot more time to plan and one that I have had more influence over."

Paul's new album is already a No1 classic..in Korea and New Zealand

THE first ever Britain's Got Talent winner will take the country by storm AGAIN - this time with his new album.

Opera ace Paul Potts has spent a year working on Passione, which he believes is BETTER than his two million-selling debut, Once Chance.

The new tunes, meant to have a more classical European feel, have already reached No1 in New Zealand and Korea.

Top songs include a haunting version of La Prima Volta (The First Time I Saw Your Face) and Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic, Memory

An amazing place, worthy of a fairy-tale; in company of two marvellous people and a fantastic selection of songs, has been the perfect combination for an unforgettable night that I will hardly forget. This will be, for sure, the best evening of my life.

Paul Potts has been in Spain. He came to Madrid. And I’ve been with him. I could finally listen to his voice live, singing a few songs from his new album (La Prima Volta, E Lucevan Le Stelle, Tristesse and Piano), and making me fly away in a magical dream and bring me down to tears with those wonderful words that changed my life for ever: TRAMONTATE STELLE … ALL'ALBA VINCERÓ, because he ended his mini concert singing the song that has made him famous in the hall globe, Nessun Dorma.

What can I say… Ain’t got words at all… If you can get excited just watching him performing on a You Tube video or listening to his fabulous CDS, live the emotion turns into shake. Yes, ladies and gents, I trembled. The mixture of emotions was such that now, at only a few hours of distance of his performance, I do not know how to describe what you can manage to feel when you listen to this voice live. Paul Potts caresses my soul each and every time that I listen to him… but yesterday… yesterday HE REALLY TOUCHED MY SOUL. But not just mine. He touched the soul of each and every person that was there in the Casino de Madrid listening to his performance. And thins remained clear with the fabulous STANDING OVAZIONE that he received after his performance. The plaudit would never end. The BRAVO BRAVO that flew were endless. The most amazing thing was to see how Paul was getting excited and his eyes were flooded with tears during the above mentioned moment.

Later we had the opportunity to meet him, shake his hand, which was signing the CDS, photos and anything that one had to hand. My mother seized the opportunity to plant a sonorous kiss on Paul's cheek who reddened and thrilled once again. Also I had the opportunity to give him a little gift that my mother and I had prepared for him with all our love: a small grand piano carved in wood with a golden plate in which you can read these words on it: Dall’ Italia con amore. Dalla Spagna con Passione. Maxi e Lena.

I remained speechless when I introduced my self and said to him something like "Hello Paul, my name Maxi, your fan n º 1 in Spain, member of Paul Potts MySpace Family”.

While he was signing my Passione CD, he lifted his eyes and watching me he said, "So, you are Max"

I answered surprised “Yeap! That’s me! Do you know me?”

He smiled and said to me among laughs in SPANISH, with his unmistakable and beautiful accent "UN POQUITO" (just a little)

What a great honor, my dear friends!

What can I say about Paul that hasn’t been said yet… He’s a beautiful being. And I mean it. He is a good man, he is human, he is humble, he is nearby … Paul Potts is an Angel!!!

He’s got a golden aura and it wrapped us all. If I can affirm that I am a fan of Paul since last year, from yesterday on, I affirm that I love Paul.

I am very happy and satisfied to have been able to meet this great artist; to have met this great person; this being of light who illuminated my life one year ago with a phrase that I will never be able to forget: TRAMONTATE STELLE … ALL' ALBA VINCERÓ!!

SINGER Paul Potts is returning to Britain's Got Talent as a guest performer in the live semi-finals.

The phone salesman-turned-opera star, 38, has earned more than ?million since winning the show in 2007.

But he said he is TERRIFIED of being back in front of the panel - especially judge Simon Cowell, 49.

Paul told The Sun: "I will be so nervous going back and performing in front of the judges. Performing in front of Simon will be scary.

"I'm always nervous before every performance but this will be me returning to where I started."

NEW YORK - Paul Potts can consider himself a true recording success: He topped the charts in several countries with the release of his debut CD, which followed his rags-to-riches triumph after winning "Britain's Got Talent" in 2007.

But the 38-year-old former phone company worker still has the wonder of a newcomer when it comes to the world of music stardom. He admits that he's still getting used to being stopped on the street, and likens a recording studio to a "spaceship."

Now on his second CD, "Passione," which was released this month, Potts talked recently about his goals, why singing sometimes wears him out, and his advice for this year's "Britain's Got Talent" sensation, Susan Boyle.

The Associated Press: What were your goals for your second album?
