This Christmas edition is a more cost effective way to buy the debut album by Paul Potts for it's now a 2CD version, disc one being the original and disc 2 gives four nice festive songs.
My views on Paul Potts remain unchanged since his original release, in that I still think he is a walking, singing example of how talent shows are so successful at both finding undiscovered talent and stirring the public into voicing their opinions and emotions so strongly towards that newly uncovered talent.
Opinions are generally divided between those who are able to take the singer for what he is (an ordinary guy with a natural gift for singing) and those who are grieved that his lack of operatic training has not hindered him in finding success in that music genre.
Technical perfection and music school education should not be prerequisites for being able to perform classical and operatic music, for history is rich with composers and artists who have found success with little or no formal training. Perhaps no better illustration of this is the famous Edward Elgar, a largely self-taught composer, who found difficultly in gaining recognition during his early years but whose talents as a classical composer are today unquestioned.
Paul Potts is a singer with a voice, and life story, to touch the hearts of those wanting to enjoy music for what it is - entertainment. Yes, I agree with the critics who claim he is not an opera singer, how could he be when he hasn't had the chance to walk onto that theatre stage yet?
What he has got however is a phenomenal talent for singing opera songs in a way which grabs the attention of those listeners who would often shy away from an area of music sometimes mistakenly regarded as only for the elitist high society.
It took courage for him to stand on that stage, and the public showed their love and admiration for him by electing him as winner so I think he deserves all the success he gets.
The four bonus Christmas songs should win some new fans and coax a little bit more money out of his existing ones, and who could begrudge him of that?

this has to be one of the most wonderful "voices" to come along in a very long time.. Mr. Potts has a voice that has touched us all.. I cried , along with thousands of others when hearing him sing for the first time... He has reached the soul of music... Bravo Bravo...... I have his album and listen to it each day. I only hope that success doesnt spoil the wonderful girft he has been given... 5 stars from me...

The review I have just read states with certainty that Paul is merely "average" and could not possibly hold his own agaist other tenors. I must disagree. I've attended over 60 operatic performances and have heard tenors of every possible ilk. I've been to three Turandot performances. At any one of them,actually all of them, I would have paid extra on the spot to have Paul sing Nessun Dorma.
I know that if Paul chooses to do so,he can develop technique that is as technically correct as any tenor in the world. This will probably be important to the preservation of his voice. If he does, however,I hope he does not lose one iota of that....honey sweet evocative character of pathos and longing in his voice. No other tenor I have ever heard has that same quality,and it cannot be learned. Technique will sell critics, though neither I nor millions of others care about them, but that voice, that quality of raw humanity, will always sell the masses longing for beauty and meaning.
And I haven't had any crazy pills at all.

As good as the more well known

It's OK but I might not be the best judge
How to comment on this CD. So many reviewers have written to say how much they enjoy it and they seem to be saying that they are listening to one of the greatest ever voices. Read more

Paul Potts ruined!
Paul Potts has an amazing voice, but how sad that on this album it is drowned out by the orchestra sometimes. Read more

A mothers choice
I brought this for a present for the inlaws. I must say they love it. It is not something perhaps that I would have brought myself, but having heard it can understand the appeal. Read more

The Reality
The whole thing is just such an embarassment. A Simon Callow confection, with so little talent. Have you read what PP says about himself? oh dear. Read more

Just terrible.
I have nothing more to add (other than my 1 star) that hasn't already been said. If you want real opera singing by a real tenor go listen to Jan Peerce or Richard Tucker.
