Love that song.

What is it about the Welsh? I've never met a person from Wales who couldn't sing.

My fav piece of opera, kindled by the film Very Annie Mary.

Here is another one, of which your heart may miss a beat with true amazement.
She's right up there with Paul Potts, but with more views in less time.

Paul isn't just a salesman. This can be found on the website of the Bath Opera:

"A student of Ian Comboy, Paul has appeared on national and local television and radio. He has spent two summers touring Northern Italy training with one of the major opera schools, and has taken part in masterclasses with Vilma Vernocchi, Katia Ricciarelli and Luciano Pavarotti. He has also performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra."

559396 2007-06-15 17:29:00 I think he really is talented but not as good as Pavoratti in his prime .

His basic projection seems a little weak and booms a lot at the power notes, but (Pavoratti comparison here), he has a certain technique . . . . is he just emulating or does he really have talent?

If he ever hooks into his own personna and gets some more exposure, he's a sure hit and I will certainly buy what he produces .

Actually, I think Paul Potts sounds a lot like Lucianno's father, Fernando . Did you ever hear them both sing together?

I did on a special show at the Metropolitan Opera, New York in 1982 .

Pavarotti's Father, Tenor, Joins Son During Encores:The New York Times Archives


Every opera fan is familiar with Luciano Pavarotti's voice, but yesterday afternoon the voices of two Pavarottis were heard at the Metropolitan Opera House . The other Pavarotti was Fernando, Luciano's 66-year-old father, who took part in his son's recital during the encores, singing a duet version of Franck's ''Panis Angelicus . ''

Pavarotti Senior, who comes from Modena, Italy, earned his living as a baker until his son became an operatic superstar . Although not a trained singer, he does possess a pleasant, natural tenor voice . Luciano Pavarotti once said that as a child he wanted to sing as soon as he heard his father: ''I said that my father is a tenor and that I am a little tenor . ''

Fernando Pavarotti has appeared occasionally on his son's complete operatic recordings singing small roles, but this sentimental event marked his New York debut . "
