THAT VOICE!! *kneels*

Thank you for this one, too, rokxmon. Sweet memories.

it is unbelievable that people comparing the maestro with little paul pott. many people hear first time nessun dorma from pp. and this people have no idea about opera!!!

The TRUE God of singing

THAT is music !

Impareggiabile !

what ever Pavarotti did it was always fantastic,i'll never forget Him he was and is still the greatest

i luv that perticular one :) xx

Paul Potts is awesome in his own right. I'm not saying that he is an equal to Pavarotti. It is like comparing apples to oranges: As of now, comparison is impossible. Remember this: they both came from humble beginnings. Please don't berate Paul. All he needs is some time to establish himself as a name in music. Pavarotti came along many years before Paul, and I believe he would be ashamed of all of you who would be so petty as to berate a genuine talent as Paul Potts. Rest in peace, Pavarotti

That's stupid. Even when pavarotti was young he was brilliant. Pavarotti at 16 was 10X better than what potts is now. There is genius and there is medocrity. Potts is the latter.
