Paul Pottswho was born with a beautiful voice, fell in love with singing since he was a child, but the children around him could not understand or tolerate his strange calls day and night, which made him bullied. Some boys in the school always laugh at his weight, clothes and give him a nickname. He usually sings and plays to eliminate the haze of being bullied. At the age of 11, he became a member of the church choir. It was not until the age of 16 that his love for opera occupied his heart. Paul was bullied at school when he was a child, and he had no self-confidence. By chance, he heard Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony "Sorrow" and fell in love with classical music ever since. After growing up, he saved money and went to Venice to study art. During the interview, he encountered idoland was too nervous, behaved abnormally, and was criticized for never being a professional singer. Back in the country, as long as there is a chance to perform, you will accidentally lose the scene.
In 1999, Paul wore Luciano Pavarotti 's costume to sing an opera in a karaoke hall for the first time . In this year, he participated in an amateur singer singing program "My Kind of Music". He did not win but won a prize of 8,000 pounds. In 2000, in order to interpret the meaning of Italian opera lyrics, Paul used the prize money he had won and the savings he had saved for many years to go to Italy to learn Italian for three months. In one class, he won the qualification to sing for Luciano Pavarotti and Katia Lisialelli. This trip to Italy cost Paul 20,000 pounds. Originally thought that the road to music would be smoother, but his career as an amateur opera actor had to be terminated in 2003. In this year, Paul was hospitalized for appendicitis and was discharged from the hospital and found a 10 cm tumor on the adrenal gland. So he had to continue to be hospitalized for surgery. Just when he was about to recover, Paul fell off his bicycle and fractured his collarbone. He could no longer sing for a short time. For a long time afterwards, Paul could only lie down or sit on the sofa, unable to sing at all. Paul had to give up singing and become an ordinary mobile phone salesperson.
After his body gradually recovered, his wife Julie Annaplayedhas been encouraging him to continue to practice his voice and not to give up his love for opera. In 2007, at the age of 36, he participated in the "Britain's Got Talent" program. Due to his unremarkable appearance, the audience and judges expressed contempt and doubt on him. However, when he sang an excerpt from Puccini's "Turandot" opera "Nobody Sleeps Tonight", the audience was shocked, because no one thought that a mobile phone salesman could sing such a natural sound. With perfect performance, Paul eventually became the champion of "Britain's Got Talent".
