This has been the sensation on YouTube this week. I caught it on telly last weekend, but it seems to have proven a hit with the US audience, especially given Simon Cowell’s huge praise for Paul. Mr Potts will go far no doubt.
Going by the various comments and hits on YouTube, we must be looking at the first YouTube Superstar - well over 2 million 3 million views in a week (now 6 or 7 million in two weeks). Favourited over 10,000 times. Some detractors say he had voice training, but how could you get a voice like that without training?

It’s good that he’s proving a success despite having a name eerily similar to a vicious Cambodian tyrant.

The man is amazing. Voice training or not …he’s from a humble background and he’s clearly on is way to success. A very big hit in the US.

I have been obsessing on the youtube video. Getting no work done. I need serious help.

Paul Potts changed the lives of millions of regular folks over the past month and I predict that his new CD will sell well over five (5) million copies by the time Santa comes around again!

Everytime I hear the beautiful voice of Paul Potts, I get goosebumps all over. Absolutely beautiful!!! His One Chance CD is fabulous and I’m sure he will make many more. Hopefully, there will be a Christmas one too!!!
