Potts must accept criticism

I was quoted in Grania Litwin's preview article regarding Paul Potts (March 20). My colleagues and I were asked to give our opinions on his potential as an opera singer, which we did. If Potts is going to be marketed as an opera singer then he must be judged as one. I know that every time I go on stage, I will be judged by the public and the critics (many of whom are not part of Victoria's "classical crowd") and I accept that. It's all part of the performance game. People must be free to voice their opinions and to have choices.
