Re: Song that brings tears to your eyes

Your 'Elvis whatttttt?' comment reveals which of us is the snob.

I do not deny that Mr Potts overcome insecurities etc.etc. but he is one among many who have done so. And he has obviously completely overcome them if he is capable of performing in that venue wouldn't you say?

At no time did I suggest he did not have a good voice, merely said that I prefered the Elvis version of this particular song. Potts version could be said to be 'over egging' in the extreme. It is not an aria, merely a particularly beautiful love song. I would imagine there are several songs which would be equally as emotive were they to be translated into Italian and sung 'operatically'.

Re: Song that brings tears to your eyes

I find it odd that another Welsh person would pick fault with Paul's endeavours. Then again maybe all us Welsh are somewhat argumentative. I don't wish to argue over Paul's singing though. I'm gloriously happy that I can be touched by his voice to such an extent. It washes over me in quite a painful manner really and leaves it's mark for quite a time after. His voice makes me a better person for a while. Not many singers can do that to me.

Of my very best friends had a picture on her wall of her father Frank Cousins with his friend Paul Robeson. She had a grandson who was mixed race and he was 7 before he could be convinced that Paul Robeson was not his grandfather
