Paul Pott’s YouTube Clip Most Highly Rated EVER!
A clip of Britain’s got Talent winner, Paul Potts singing Nessun Dorma has become YouTube’s highest rated clip EVER!
The clip has been viewed a massive 6,476,461 times and has received 16449 ratings.
Other clips of Paul’s performances can be found in second and tenth place.
When I first came across this piece of trivia I was astounded and impressed. Paul frequented our forum when Britian’s Got Talent was in the audition stages and has continued to contribute since winning the show. Many people have recently criticised Paul for his lack of talent or abundance of training, some have even accused Simon Cowell of fixing the show.
If Paul was as talentless as we are being led to believe, how did he manage to dominate one of the world’s leading websites in this way? Answers on a postcard please.

I think maybe someone set up a few computers to constantly view the clips. On a completley unrelated note?!, Simon Cowell has always been very good at marketing and pushing the artists he wants to the forefront of audiences.

An inspiration for each and everyone, the whole story stikes a cord within our own lives. Admiration for his courage should be a watchword for the youngsters of today. Well done Paul Pott.

I’ve watched this video several times as I just love it. Whenever I am feeling down, I watch Paul Potts and he manages to make everything seem not so bad. Perhaps that is why his video is the most watched video!

The world is full of Paul Potts who truly have a great gift but no one knows it because of the person’s humility to not go around thinking they are the world’s next best thing. Humility, what a wonderful thing. It’s true there are angels among us if only people would take the time to listen and watch.

Paul Potts in concert, much better than the web. Paul reaches all the high notes, but has something about his voice that is unique. Best ever.

For me, the best part of his story is that he found what he love and he happy with it. He is lucky that today we have such talent program to be appeal for his talent. He may not the greatest but he do inspire and remind many people who learn about his story. At least me.

Where are the words to describe the beauty of this man and his gift for inspiration and solace? His presence is dignified and graceful in all respects and he has such an air of power and strength that raises him up above all those that surround him. I love to engulf his persona ever since I have seen and heard what he has to offer the universe.

This clip makes me teary-eyed every time I see it. I think the reason it is so widely viewed is not only Paul’s talent, but the visible reaction he gets from the audience & judges. They’re so genuinely surprised and pleased. It’s refreshing to see something that seems so real in comparison to so much manufactured TV these days.

33 million plus on the Cardiff audition alone. Phenomenal! This has to be a Guinness Book of World Records record. Paul Potts is so inspirational. I see comments about how many people watch this video several times a day, a week, a month. That’s me. I start and end my day with it.

Paul is even better live in concert. He is wonderful, both as a performer and as a human being.
