He didn't disappoint!
He delivered on his promise. If anyone saw his original audition, they have to be rooting for Paul Potts. THis was a humble man, spending probably his last money on his 35 pound suit. And when he opened his mouth and sang, it was a revelation. He is inspiring and he really delivers in this album. They were probably careful in selecting the cuts he made but they are beautiful. I hope he makes another and has a long and wonderful career. He is the 'everyman' who had a talent that was discovered and hopefully will be nutured and supported. BUY THIS ALBUM even if you don't love opera... it is relaxing and wonderful to listen to!
Historical presentation
If you weren't lucky enough to get this dvd along with the One Chance cd at Walmart then this is worth the money. The dvd presents the sequencial and now historical discovery of Paul Potts and his rocket rise to fame. It stops just short of the release of One Chance which at this moment is history in itself- the fastest produced album in history, selling over one million in about a month going to #1 in all countries. The best thing about this dvd: It is perfect history of the discovery of Paul Potts to show future generations and no explaination needed when shown to the rare (at this moment in time) person who has not heard of Paul Potts. Example: Visited 86 yr. old shut-in. While having tea, I slipped on the dvd. About one third way in to it, she said "Who IS this man? I have goosebumps!" Ah, precisely...
Don't bother to buy this DVD
Extremely disappointing DVD. The story of Paul's discovery and rise to fame is surely worth telling but this DVD fails miserably. It features short sections of the 3-4 stages of the talent show that led to his fame but NO EFFORT has been made to add anything at all to these short edited TV sections.
If you buy the music CD you'll see that Paul's most important note of thanks is to his wife Julie-Ann for being his constant support. She isn't mentioned once on the DVD - how's that for disrespect to this remarkable man. You'll learn as much about Paul and his beautiful voice from the notes on the DVD box as you will from the short excerpts from the TV shows (each is only about 3-4 minutes).
And the price of said DVD.........ridiculous ..... you could create this program by editing at home - must have cost about $5 to produce.
In summary, the great shame about this DVD is that we would like to know much more about Paul but you'll learn next to nothing.
