I watched his first ever television appearance on 'Britain's Got Talent' with as much scepticism as everyone else (including the judges), until that is, he opened his mouth and I was lifted gently into the air and taken on a journey that left me both breathless and awestruck. I duly bought his album and have enjoyed it immensely. Last night however, I witnessed his (almost) full potential. This shy, unassuming superstar wooed his audience not only with his voice, but also his personality. He interspersed the magnificence of the music with amusing anecdotes of the 'real' Paul Potts. There are no airs and graces with this man, no pomposity to his music, just one enormous heart that filled the stage, spilling over onto the ever more adoring audience. The two (yes two) standing ovations he received were truly deserved.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad.
It may be good to have a lot of exposures and sell more CDs..  and gain more popularity. 

This may be bad for Paul Potts.  Maybe he's fixing his image as a novelty item, appearing small stores around the world.

I saw Paul Potts on Oprah Winfrey show today.
It was nice to see Paul Potts performing on the show. 
It was also nice to see the after show clip. It was actually very good.

But, as a fan, I would have rather not seen Paul Potts like that.

I didn't like the over-all topic of today's show.
Today's Oprah show was all about normal folks enjoying 15 minutes of fame from YouTube. 

Paul Potts was among a lot of normal folks who got discovered by doing something comical and outrageous.  One of the guests was a dog who can skate-board.  There was a guy who became popular for doing a silly dance.

I didn't like how Oprah bunched up Paul Potts with low-class circus acts.

Paul Potts should have refused to be on that episode of Oprah.
To me, this was the low point of Paul Potts career.
At this rate, the whole world may consider Paul Potts as an "Internet singing guy".

I've seen pictures of Paul Potts arriving at various airports.
Paul Potts always pushes his own cart, and he puts luggages in the trunk of the car. I don't think Pavarotti ever carried his own luggages when he traveled.

I hope Paul Potts' next album will do even better so the industry will not low-ball Paul Potts like that. 

I am not happy about today's Oprah show. 
It was insulting.

Of course the June 9th performance was a taped audition from March 17, 2007. But officially, general public discovered Paul Potts exactly three months ago.

Just look back at Paul Potts' three months.

First off, Paul Potts video clip is one of the most watched videos in YouTube.

Internet is buzzing with Paul Potts. There are millions of articles on Paul Potts.

Paul Potts debut album "One Chance" is out and selling well.

Paul Potts's tour schedule is already out. He had already finished visiting Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong... etc..

He had converted millions of normal folks like us into Opera fans.

The simbolic icon and Paul Potts former teacher Luciano Pavarotti died. That shifted weight even more to Paul Potts.

This is what happened in three months, all in about 90 days.
Amazing.

News articles and video clips are popping up everywhere.

LONDON (Reuters) - Singer-songwriter Kate Nash took the top spot in the album charts on Sunday, the Official UK Charts Company said.



The Harrow-based songstress went straight in at number one with her debut album, "Made of Bricks".



She pushed Paul Potts, winner of television show "Britain's Got Talent", into second place in the album charts with his debut offering, "One Chance", following three weeks at the top.

The final show of America's Got Talent will air next week August 21st. It's been rumored that Paul Potts will be singing as a guest singer there.



I read that on several different websites, but I am still not sure if he is actually coming to America next week. (I don't believe everything I read online).

It's here, July 30, 2007.
Amazon is shipping out Paul Potts CD (One Chance).
Some of us have already received them. (July 31st).

Excerpt from article

Paul Potts is storming to the top of the charts with his debut album, One Chance, which was only released on Monday but is already outselling the rest of the top ten LPs together.



Gennaro Contaldo of record shop chain HMV said: "He is well on course to sell over 100,000 copies this week.

v
"Traditionally this type of album would be released around Mother's Day or Christmas aimed at the gift market, but Paul has obviously built up a big enough following from TV without that kind of marketing.

Paul Potts supposedly opened a blog account at http://paulpotts.welshblogs.co.uk/. He posted his first entry on July 11, 2007. Then he added two more entries on 12th and 13th.



I was very excited about this, but I also had a doubt.

Paul Potts CD will be released July 30, 2007.
This is something I expected
It seemed normal to me.

How can one produce massive amount of CDs in one month?
I didn't see that happening.

2 months is still too fast.
I totally understand that there is a delay

Go Simon Go~~!!

I love the fact that he didn't buy some of the expensive domain name from domain squatters.

I hope this will clear the air once and for all. There are many fake official websites out there.

I submitted a comment to his blog. There must be thousands of commends to be screened.

Here are two video clips of Paul Potts in Recording studio. First clip includes interview.

Interview Plus Nessun Dorma

** Thank you, Lily, for this information **



Paul Potts concert schedule is out.

Since this information will not last long, I had to copy & paste information below.

This is what happened with the price on Paul Potts debut CD, 'One Chance'. (below is purely my guess).

First, nobody really didn't know how how much the CD was going to cost. Amazon had no idea if Paul Potts will sign US distribution deal or not. But online companies had to compete and take pre-orders.

So, they started to take pre-orders at price as high as $48.50. AND they promised to give us lower price if the price came down.

CD price went down to about $30.00.

Then Paul Potts signed an international deal, including the US, on July 5. That's when Amazon lowered their price way down to $16.98.

Now I no longer recommend the fans to "wait until the price drops". Still, I believe you can pick up CDs at BestBuy or Wal*mart at $10.00 each. You may have to wait a few weeks.

Remember, buying CD at sales price doesn't make you a bad fan.
At the same time, it's worth of paying double get the CD sooner.

Just buy the CD (now or later)
We must show the strength as fans.
Keep Paul Potts engine running~!!

Finally.
Paul Potts' album cover is out.
Just like I imagined, it's the picture of him in extreme angle.
NOT smiling. he he...

I saw Paul Potts domain name on sale on Ebay.
It's - PaulPotts(dot)me(dot)uk
It's on sale for about $10K

Yikes... so, what can I do with that domain name?
Can I pretend to be Paul Potts?
Can I pretend to be yet another Paul Potts Official website?
Above practices are practically illegal (not to mention it's unethical)

So, the only thing I can do is to squat on it until I sell it to somebody (just like the current owner's doing).

One more thing.
If Mr. Paul Potts decides to sue me for cybersquatting, I really don't have a case against him. Some people name their pets after their domain names and such... it doesn't work.

The latest case I remember is the Actor Kevin Spacey taking a domain name away from a squatter. It was not even a correct spelling.
