Paul Potts in China 22/8/2007



TV talent winner Paul Potts is in Hong Kong promoting his album One Chance and soon goes on to tour New Zealand and Australia .



The 36 year-old former phone salesman from Port Talbot topped HMV Hong Kong's Classical Chart for three consecutive weeks.



He told Chinese TV station CCTV: "I never dreamed that I would be able to actually find myself on the other side of the world from where I live, doing what I love doing.



“And you know, if somebody told me six months ago that I would be here. I would've told them, you know, get out of here, there is no way on earth that that would happen."



Potts will sing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance in early December.



"I am sure that I will do what I normally do, think of it off, and try to think of it in advance. But at the end, I am someone who really doesn't rehearse anything that I say.



“So hopefully, I will say the right thing," said Paul.

He won a TV talent competition. Now he has a new album and is an overnight sensation. He's Paul Potts, winner of "Britain's Got Talent," which is the U.K.'s answer to American idol.

Now the 36 year-old vocalist is in Asia, promoting his debut album. The Album "One Chance," topped HMV Hong Kong's Classical Chart for three consecutive weeks.

Potts astounded both judges and the "Britain's Got Talent" audience when he first sang on the show. His world class operatic voice was an instant hit with viewers who voted for him in droves to win the competition.

The British television show was created by Simon Cowell, the man behind "American Idol".

Since his victory, Potts has become an overnight success not only in Britain, but throughout the United States, Australia and parts of Asia.

The former mobile phone salesman claims he spent most of his life feeling insignificant.

Potts used to perform with the Bath Opera, but fear of rejection always prevented him from trying to make it professionally.

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).

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.

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.

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 am sold out.
Today, I put affiliation links to Paul Potts Pre-order CD.
I refused to participate when it was $48.xx
I refused to participate when it was $38.xx
At $29.99 (free shipping), I can see how people can enjoy life with $30.00.

So, pre-order links can be seen everywhere on my website.
I am sold out
:(

If you are going to pre-order, order from here. Support the fan site.

This is Amazon's price on Paul Potts pre-order CD.



First it was $48.xx
Then it came down to $28.xx - (June 27, 2007)
Then price went back up to $38.xx (June 28, 2007)



Amazon guarantees that you will get the change if price goes down ** by the day of release.



I have a feeling that price will go down "AFTER" the day of release. (wink, wink... business 101).



Also, if you visit different websites, you will notice that they have different title tracks.



This affirms me to sit back and relax for now...
I think it will be entertaining to watch the price going down.

Website (June 26, 07): Fans Complaining about High Price of Paul Potts CD

Paul Potts CD is now available for pre-order.

Price for one CD is almost $30.00. They will be shipped from England. But $30.00~~!!

That's a lot of money.

One of these days (very soon) the CDs will be available at Best Buy or Wal*Mart for $10.00.

If I buy now at $30.00 will I be helping Mr. Paul Potts?
Am I a bad fan if I buy a CD at discounted price?

The price already came down once.

Amazon had it for about $50.00.

Now they are taking pre-order for about $30.00.

I am in no hurry, the CDs are not out yet.

I'm going to see how things progress.

Last year, I bought an autographed CD from Astrud Gilberto (Girl from Ipanema) for $25.00. You can buy world's most famous opera CD for $10.00.

$28.50 is too much.. price has to go down.

LIVE FROM STUDIO 1A: PAUL POTTS Q AND A, BRITAIN'S TALENTI



I couldn't link to the official page (some kind of link validation issue).
Below is entire Q&A from MSNBC's blog page.

Q: What is your reaction to all of this attention? Have you gotten a lot of fan mail?

Paul: Well, I haven't been home yet, so I don't actually know.

Q: Do you think your wife will be jealous of female attention?

Paul: I believe her words are, "You're welcome to him!" Which is a joke, of course. Well, I hope it is anyway.

Q: Who is your biggest fan?

Paul: Recently definitely my wife. We've been married for four years, been together for six.

Q: So you first debuted your voice dressed up as Pavarotti?

Paul: It was a karaoke night in 1998 and I dressed up as Pavarotti for the bar.

Q: That was the first time people heard your voice? What was their reaction?

Paul: Some people from work brought tomatoes, but they didn't end up throwing them.

Q: Do you sing in the shower?

Paul: I've been known to do so...

Q: Is this your first time in the States?

Paul: I've been up north to New York State - I have some friends in Canada.

Q: First time in New York City? What do you think?


Paul: I've not seen very much of it yet, so I hope to see more.

Q: When do you get to go home?

Paul: You know, I don't know! I start recording the album on Saturday in Abbey Road Studios.

Interview




Performance

There is a controversy over Paul Potts' winning at Britain's Got Talent.

People are saying that Paul never qualified to enter the contest, because Paul Potts was already a professional. In June 19, 2007, Paul answers the critics on exclusive interview by The Sun. BRITAIN’S Got Talent winner Paul Potts last night blasted back at critics who claimed his victory was a SHAM Below is excerpt from The Sun article. "Don't talk out of your arias" Click link for complete article and a lot of pictures. (Paul Potts' baby pictures as well)

BRITAIN’S Got Talent winner Paul Potts last night blasted back at critics who claimed his victory was a SHAM. The thrilled Carphone Warehouse worker bagged a £100,000 prize and a slot at the Royal Variety Performance with his sensational operatic performances. But his ITV triumph, watched on Sunday by 12.6million, was tainted by accusations that the result was unfair — because 36-year-old Paul had received professional voice training. Shy Paul has admitted getting tips from his hero — legendary Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti. And he has even performed in front of 15,000 music fans — backed by the world-renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. But speaking to The Sun in his first in-depth interview last night, he insisted: “I’m no pro. I’ve never hidden anything. “I am what I am — a hidden talent working a normal day-to- day job. And I’ve never been paid for any of the opera work I’ve done before — if only!” Paul, who shares a modest home with wife Julie-Anne in Port Talbot, South Wales, also revealed he GRAFTED 13-hour days to fund singing lessons. And he told how he began singing to escape vicious BULLIES, FEARED he’d never sing again after two terrible accidents, and was SNUBBED by the opera elite. Paul decided to pay for his own lessons after snooty opera agents ignored his flood of tapes. He said: “I worked from 7am until 8.30pm to get as much money as possible for lessons. “I don’t mind doing manual work. I’ve got a degree but it didn’t get me a white collar job so I just took what I could.” After months of hard graft, Paul took six months off in 2000 and headed for Italy and one of its famed opera schools. While there he sang in front of Pavarotti — and made such an impression the heavyweight star singled him out for praise. Beaming with pride, Paul said: “It was one of the highlights of my life. I had to pay for the masterclass — but I had to audition first and I couldn’t believe I’d even got through.
