VIDEO: POTTS SINGING "CARUSO" - A SONG ON HIS NEW CD. (AND HE HAS NEW TEETH!)


WOW. Great feeling here - as in all his performances.

BTW: I know this song well; it's by my second favorite singer - Lucio Dalla; (my first is the Chairman of the Board).

Here's Lucio singing it with the greatest tenor of out era, Pavarotti.



I think Paul Potts does it well- even in comparison; his voice has a sad softness and sublime pathos to it which neither Luciano or Lucio have. Dalla's singing is brilliant and brutally honest and daring and unfettered, and oh so very human; Pavarotti's stunning for it's pureness and perfection.

There's room in this life for all three. Thanks to God we have these three, and don't have to choose just one. We get to enjoy them all. Including Potts.

BTW: here's a link to Pott's with his NEW SMILE, (new teeth). Before and after photos.

Well put, my friend. God granted us rationality and free will, and that means diversity of approach, and diversity of opinion.

Aesthetics is among the most difficult branches of Philosophy/Religion, but while it is not quantifiable, it is, clearly, among the most important.

I met a man recently who knew how to pick exactly the right arrangement of flowers for the color scheme and dimension of a room. I can not tell you how much that added to my day. I told him I recognized his talent and was astonished, and, of course, that made his day.

It is the rare individual who recognizes such subtelties. I try to see what is in front of me, because if our G-d saw that it was Good, than why should I not be mindful?

I will try my very best.

Paul Potts has exceeded expecations. He is in a realm of angels.
