    yeah definitely glad he won, what would connie have done with 100,000?? At least he can make a real change to his life with the money, along with as his recording contract that simon offered!!!!:D

    Yeah, I think Paul is good but Connie was so adorable. I can't believe how amazing her voice was. She had me in tears last night... I'm sure its not the last we've seen of her!

    I only saw Connie in the semi final. But she didnt sound any different from any other 6 year old to be honest. It smelled of scary stage parents to me. Good to see somebody with an actual talent winning it.

    But that was her worse performance! She was amazing last night. And her parents aren't scary stage parents at all. She doesn't even have a singing teacher. They are just two working class people with a really cute little girl.

    Her parents could have put it in an account for her so that when she was older she could have used it to buy a car and put a deposit on a house, maybe? And they could have used some of the money to train her voice. It's brilliant already, but some exercises could make it better.

    I totally agree, I normally don't like opera but as soon as Paul's CD hits the shelf I will be buying it.

    Its not just the voice though, its his whole story I will be buying into!

    Good luck Paul Potts!!!

    Wow, just reading now that he's supposedly signed a one million pound recording deal! Fair play on him. Oh, and that he intends spending some of his money to fix his teeth.

    I watched Paul perform Nessum Dorma and I have to say I was blown away by his performance. His YouTube has over four million hits! He's definitely "a diamond in the rough".

    Here are a couple of links to the biography pages of Bath Opera's productions of Don Carlos in 2001 and Aida in 2003. See anyone familiar?

    I heard about this apparently he has been to opera school in Italy to train with professionals. I can't take anything away from his voice; it's amazing; but i feel he played us with the whole lack of confidence and just finding the voice within rubbish. I heard hes getting his teeth fixed - will this affect his voice?:rolleyes:
