Riley puts it straight out there?
2008-05-20 03:38:00 Every now and then it’s good to hear a word from the opera purists. They keep me balanced.

Yes, I know ...

Paul quit his job?again.
2008-04-29 02:16:00 First it seemed that every other article about Paul Potts was somehow obliged to mention that he still hadn’t quit his sales job at Carphone Warehouse–as if Paul might decide, at any moment, to give up his singing career and go back to shelving marketing Motorolas. Now we are on the opposite end of the ...

Mrs. Potts? boy is doing alright
2008-04-24 13:08:00 Yet another keen review of our boy, Paul Potts, and his Australian tour–this one from Perth’s Sunday Times. Arts Editor, Jim Hallam, echoes some of what we’ve already heard (”Potts has two volumes, loud and very loud”) and delivers his own brand of gentle criticism with a smile.

Paul Potts, the hero of bathroom divas?
2008-04-24 01:39:00 Here’s a kind and considered review of a recent Paul Potts performance. It’s just in from Australia, with the seasoned opera critic, John Slavin, calling the cadence. He can write good. My favorite paragraph is this: Potts’ voice has a laser-cutting intensity when he sings loudly, which is often, and it rather resembles the late Harry ...
Another ?New Paul Potts?
2008-04-23 22:56:00 With Paul Potts still on his first concert tour, the debate over who will be the next nearly defeated, yet able to sing one more tune, winner of Britain’s Got Talent.

The ?New Paul Potts??
2008-04-23 03:04:00 Sometimes things are just fun to read. I mean, even though you know it is ridiculous, there’s something about seeing it in print that adds to the pleasure of it all. Sometimes, I even catch myself at it–saying something that is out of the park and thinking, “Why did I say that?” Oh, the joys ...
What?s that again?
2008-04-17 01:00:00 I’m still trying to interpret exactly what it says, but Variety is out with a fresh press release saying that British singer, Leona Lewis, has made music history. Here’s the intro to the article: Leona Lewis’ “Spirit” (J Records/SyCo Music) sold 205,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the first time in music ...

Julz writes from New Zealand
2008-04-15 13:06:00 It’s a good time to check Julie-Ann’s blog for an insiders look at the Paul Potts tour. She describes the USA experience (intense and tiring) then tells us about New Zealand (finally, a break.) As always, Julz’ posts are homespun and give us the flavor of what it is like on the bus. It’s a ...
Paul Potts and the Southern Hemisphere
2008-04-15 02:28:00 Paul Potts is scheduled to appear live on Australia’s WIN TV tomorrow night (7:30 pm local time.) The news report says that a 34 piece orchestra will accompany our hero, though no mention is made of whether Elizabeth Marvelly will sing with Paul. My take is that this will pretty well be Nessun Dorma and ...

Bullied again
2008-04-14 00:33:00 He has been bullied all his life, raised poor, and when he sang at Britain’s Got Talent he made Amanda cry, Simon’s eyes roll, and the audience rise to their feet. Paul Potts? Nope, it’s this year’s contestant, young Andrew Johnston. He’s past the first round, wearing a sweatshirt and jeans…is a tuxedo in his ...
Is Paul Potts over-exposed?
2008-04-12 18:40:00 In a recent comment on one of my posts, concerning what I perceive to be an ongoing display of apathy by the Paul Potts public relations team, reader JoeBloggs said the following: “It?s not realistic to be in the media all the time, there is such a thing as overexposure where people get fed up ...
Paul Potts and Piers Morgan talk it over
2008-04-11 12:40:00 It’s a Piers Morgan interview with Paul Potts, running in the paper that gave Piers his start–The Sun. It’s in typical style for that combo, a sort of ribald humor that sometimes says something new and factual. Barclays Bank gets a thrashing here, though I don’t suppose they care. Paul’s experience with them belies the ...
Paul Potts: Great voice, tacky show.
2008-04-10 02:06:00 The Paul Potts show drew a bit of criticism from The Press of New Zealand. The unnamed writer saying that “if he wants to be taken seriously he has to ditch the self-effacing bad patter, tacky red roses, and sickeningly awful animated backdrops.” In response to the column, a fan came to Paul’s defense: “Please ...
Popera or Poetry?
2008-04-09 01:25:00 It appears that the Paul Potts team has gone back to their strategy of a news blackout. I hope that works for them. If popera stars aren’t creating any news stories, though, poets are. If you were thinking of heading to Key West, Florida, this weekend, you picked a good time to do so. According ...
Paul Potts made me cry
2008-04-08 13:03:00 Paul who? I?m sure many of you know him (after more than 23 million hits on his YouTube video) but that was my first reaction upon reading his name from a mobile phone text message a friend sent me earlier. I?ve never heard of the guy before, and certainly don?t know his story. ?He will make you cry? was the next part of the message, followed by ?just look for his video on YouTube and you?ll know what I mean.? Apparently, my friend was watching Oprah earlier today (probably a rerun) and Paul Pott?s video was featured there. I immediately searched for it on YouTube and got the most... continue reading this, and much more, at keyboard monologues...

Piers says, speaking of the proceedings, “The worst was Blackpool, by quite ...
Paul Potts probably purviewing Perth
2008-04-04 13:00:00 The Swansea Evening Post (U.K.) has chipped in with an article quite similar to the Melbourne piece. It’s not a duplicate, but many of the same quotes and observations are there. Best of all, I do have a link for this one. Read it all right here.

Paul Potts (finally) gets a break
2008-04-01 01:22:00 I recently had opportunity to compare notes with the intrepid Larry, president of the Paul Potts Fan Club. Following the busy, busy month of March–which saw Paul touring the USA, Canada, and Mexico–both Paul and Larry are getting a well-deserved break. My calendar shows that Paul has just finished his appearances in Mexico City and ...
Paul and Julie-Ann Potts about to lose their seats?

Mesa warms to Paul Potts
2008-03-29 03:27:00 Calling Paul a “walking fairytale,” Randy Cordova of the Arizona Republic turned in a beaming review of the Mesa Arts Center performance.

Paul Potts with a long row to hoe?
2008-03-23 14:05:00 The Paul Potts media massage by the Canadian press ended today. Happy Easter. Grania Litwin, writing for the (Victoria, B.C.) Times Colonist , took a tack that many are reticent to mention–it’s not about the voice. The emperor’s new clothes really aren’t all that new. Grania’s lead went like this:

Paul Potts: From ?Thrill? to ?Ecstasy?
2008-03-20 11:37:00 The Ottawa (Canada) Citizen was so thrilled with the Paul Potts show there that they ran the review twice! If we were berating the press in the U.S.A. for a lack of follow-up, there is no complaint with Canada. For those of you who missed Patrick Langston’s chock-full of praise column in Tuesday’s paper, entitled ...
Fantasy to Reality: Thank you, Paul Potts
2008-03-18 20:35:00 The Ottawa (Canada) Citizen didn’t hold back on praise for the Paul Potts show, in today’s article by Patrick Langston. I loved the description of the transformation that occurs when Paul gets to singing. That’s something that just can’t be faked–he puts his into it. Patrick wraps it up well, when he says that Paul ...
Paradox theory and Paul Potts
2008-03-18 11:59:00 Writing for the Machinist, Farhad Manjoo tells us why continued attempts to disprove the persistent rumor that Senator Barack Obama is Muslim may in fact have the opposite result.

Paul Potts pleased with the USA adventure?
2008-03-13 14:57:00 I picked this up from a rather non-descript article in the (Nottingham, U.K.) Evening Post. It’s a rather innocuous piece that is entitled “Paul ‘blown away’ by US reaction”…and really, that’s about all it says. Nothing wrong with that, it is a nice little filler that updates the reader on Paul’s current status–heading to Canada. ...
