On last night Britain’s Got More Talent a discussion arose about whether or not singers should be allowed to enter the show. Many people hold the opinion that singers should stick to the X Factor and leave BGT for the dancers etc.
We asked Diversity front man Ashley Banjo if he thought singers should be allowed to enter ITV’s talent contest and he was very clear in his reply. He told Unreality TV:
Former Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts will be returning to the show this month and performing on one of the semi-finals.
Paul won the show in 2007 and has since been touring the world and performing sell out concerts almost constantly. This month he’ll be back to show the new hopefuls how its done.
Paul told The Sun: “I will be so nervous going back and performing in front of the judges. Performing in front of Simon will be scary.

The Echo Awards are comparable to the Brit Awards, with the main difference being that nominations and awards are based purely on record sales and chart position and are not dependant on jury voting. Paul was nominated for two awards, Best Male international Artist Rock/Pop – other nominees in this category were Kid Rock, Lenny Kravitz, David Garrett, Jack Johnson and Album of Year National/International – other nominees in this category were Udo Lindenberg, Amy Winehouse, AC/DC, Ich Ich. Paul won the second title, you can see him performing after accepting his award here.

As part of his recent tour, Paul spent some time in Korea. I don’t think even he could have predicted how massive he was in the country or the extent of his popularity. Paul arrived for what he thought would be a normal press conference, and was instead greeted by more than 200 journalists with 100 camera flashes firing at him.

In less than a year, Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts, has conquered the world with his voice, and most recently Paul toured Australia, playing in venues like the Sydney Opera House.
One of Paul’s highlights of his Australian tour his climb of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Paul told us:
“I did the Sydney bridge climb. It was awesome, with wonderful views of the harbour and the city. Went up with one other person, a warehouse manager from Manchester. It was really cool, normally you are in groups of 12 and have no time to see anything. My wife wouldn’t do it with me, although she says she may do it the next time we are there. I would definitely do it again!”

Variety.com reports that Simon Cowell, the man behind Britain’s Got Talent, on which Paul was discovered will produce the film with Relevant Entertainment’s Michael Menchel and Steve Whitney.
Simon has himself admitted that when he first saw Paul, he didn’t expect great things, but in the end was floored by the power of his voice.
“That particular day was one of the worst, the acts were just terrible, we were fed up and on comes this guy with a funny little suit and bad teeth who looked very nervous,” Cowell told Daily Variety. “I can remember looking at the other judges, with that ‘here we go again’ feeling. We had 2,000 people in the audience, and I’ll never forget how much the room changed when he began singing.”
Menchel was originally made aware of Potts by his daughters, who showed him the infamous YouTube clips, and he called Simon to suggest a movie. Paramount execs needed only to watch the YouTube clips to get behind the idea. Read more & comment »
