Biography
Potts was raised in Fishponds, Bristol, by his father Roland, a bus driver, and mother, Yvonne, a supermarket cashier.[2] He has two brothers and one sister. Potts attended St. Mary Redcliffe school, where he developed his love of singing.[3]

In the interview that was broadcast before his performance in the semifinal, Potts said that he had been bullied in school, and that experience may have had an influence on his lack of self-confidence. He made a similar remark in 1999 — that his voice had always been a source of solace in the past when bullied.[4]

Potts is on a six-month break as manager at the Bridgend Carphone Warehouse, a mobile-phone store some eight miles from his hometown. He is expected to make a decision about his job there within the next few weeks.[5]

He was a Liberal Democrat councillor in Bristol from 1996 to 2003. [6] [7]

Previous work and experience
Potts first sang opera in 1999 in a karaoke competition, dressed as Pavarotti [4]. That same year he appeared in the Michael Barrymore talent show My Kind of Music. Although he did not take first place, he won £8,000 — enough to help pay for vocal lessons in Italy, during which he was selected to perform in front of singers Luciano Pavarotti and Katia Ricciarelli.

For the Bath Opera of Bath, Somerset, he performed on four occasions in the roles of Don Basilio (Marriage of Figaro), Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni), Don Carlos Verdi's Don Carlos, the both the Prince of Persia and the Herald in Turandot.[8][9][4] He also sang for the Royal Philharmonic in front of an audience of 15,000 and toured Northern Italy as a soloist.[8]

Potts said he broke his collarbone in a bicycle accident in 2003, an accident that prevented him from pursuing opera as a career.The mishap and financial difficulties led to him to enter the talent show.

Britain's Got Talent
On June 9, 2007, Potts' audition of Simon Cowell's new search-for-a-star show Britain's Got Talent was televised on ITV in UK. The audition itself was held at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff on March 17, 2007.[10] Paul sang a condensed version of Giacomo Puccini's "Nessun dorma"., He received a standing ovation from the audience of 2,000 people. Potts' rendition of this has currently been viewed on video upload site YouTube tens of millions of times and exists among Youtube's all-time most viewed videos.[11]

In the semi-final on June 14, 2007, Potts performed main verses of "Con te partirò". [12] He progressed to the final after receiving the highest public vote in that show.[13] He performed a full-length "Nessun dorma" for his finale on June 17, 2007 as well as an encore after he won the competition. Potts defeated co-favourite with the bookmakers, Connie Talbot and received the highest public vote out of two million votes cast to win Britain's Got Talent, winning the chance to perform at Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen.

In the United States, he was profiled on a National Public Radio programme called "Day to Day" on June 15, 2007. NPR is a non-commercial network that reaches several million people every day in the U.S. On June 18, 2007, a commercial US Television network, NBC, highlighted Potts's victory on its broadcast network's NBC Nightly News and on its Cable news outlet MSNBC. Then on June 21, 2007 he appeared live on NBC's programme Today.

During the programme there was some controversy[14]as to the "undiscovered" nature of Potts' talent. He was portrayed on the show as simply a mobile-phone salesman, whereas he had in fact appeared in four amateur opera productions and in a concert for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra[8] and had plans for a summer tour with the Orchestra.[8] Potts responded to his critics saying that he had not claimed to be completely untutored, that he had never performed any concert for pay and was therefore amateur and that the lessons he had received in Italy had been paid for from his own savings.[15]

On July 8, 2007, Potts performed at a Katherine Jenkins' concert at Margam Park, "Katherine In The Park". Jenkins extended an invitation for him to sing his rendition of "Nessun Dorma" at the concert.[16] On July 16, 2007, his debut album One Chance was released in UK, and on July 22, 2007, the album claimed the number one spot in the UK Album Chart. On November 6, 2007, Potts appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show to perform on a show whose topic was Youtube.[17]

Personal life
Potts has been married since 2003 to Julie-Anne, whom he met in an Internet chat room. Sites, such as The Paul Potts Story,[18] have been created to discuss the human interest side of Paul Potts and why his story is so poignant to people.

他憑一曲「普契尼」的「今夜無人入睡」成名, 其實論唱功, 完全唔掂! 與有實力的古典演唱者相差不止九皮之多, 更不能與「帕瓦羅蒂」的世界頂級相提並論; 他能出碟已是幸運中之幸運了, 有點 William Hung (孔慶翔)的影子, 就是樣子夠傻, 贏到了觀眾的同情心! 幸運是不能長久的, 很快將會成為過去, 成為歷史的! 因為實力不能經過時間的考驗!

我睇報章有報導他會考慮重投手機推銷行業, 實在是明智的決擇!

可是光輝的背後不是憑實力, 就好似有d馬只憑際遇先能勉強贏到一場!

又好似賭馬咁, 只憑幸運先贏到錢, 縱使贏一次夠輸十次, 但一季有七百幾場賽事, 能否贏到七十幾場呢? 長久下去都係必輸的!

註：唔係話博士你呀! 我只係引用博士的名句!
