감동의 사나이 폴포츠(Paul Potts)

[이재운1045]

심금을 울리는 인생이 있습니다.

핸드폰 가게 점원으로 일하는 폴포츠라는 이 청년은 불우한 개인 사정으로 좋아하는 성악을 더 배우지 못했나 봅니다.

하지만 생업에 종사하면서도 성악의 꿈을 접지 않은 채 절치부심하다가

마침내 아마추어 무대에 서서 온몸으로 자신의 노래를 부릅니다.

그리고 전세계를 감동에 빠뜨립니다.

뜻을 놓지만 않는다면 반드시 이룰 수 있다는 표본입니다.

그렇습니다. 꿈을 놓지 마세요. 그러면 나머지는 이 우주가 저절로 되게 해줍니다.

우주의 법칙입니다. 음악 듣고나서 무슨 코드인지 알아보세요. 저 아래에 적습니다. - 이재운 

폴포츠는 1050코드입니다. 자세한 내역을 옮깁니다. 아마존에 벌써 폴포츠 음반이 쫙 깔려 있네요. 소개글만 퍼왔습니다.

Paul Potts was exactly what the producers of Britain's Got Talent were looking for when they finally launched the program in the U.K. after much delay: an ordinary bloke, working in an ordinary job, but with an extraordinary talent. Simon Cowell's latest project, after half a decade of involvement with TV talent shows primarily involving singers, was a national contest with a public vote for all types of talents -- singers, dancers, magicians, ventriloquists, and even more extreme novelty acts. After an aborted start when the show's chosen host, Paul O'Grady, defected to Channel Four television and refused to front the show for ITV, flagship presenters Ant & Dec were brought in and the program finally got underway in June 2007. Along with the multitude of singers at the audition stage, in walked acts such as Doctor Gore (a horror magician specializing in cutting people up), Kit Kat Dolls (a drag act), and several cute children of various ages, the youngest being Connie Talbot, a six-year-old singer. When Paul Potts arrived and said he was going to singNessun Dorma, all doubts were cast aside and he was immediately considered the joint favorite to win the contest, with prize money of £100,000 and a chance to perform at The Royal Variety Show. Paul Potts was born in Bristol on the 13th of October 1970, one of four children to a bus driver father and a mother who worked in a local supermarket. more... An ordinary schoolboy who later claimed he had been bullied as a child, his jobs on leaving school were also at a supermarket (stacking shelves), and at the time he entered Britain's Got Talent he was working for the Bridgend branch of the Carphone Warehouse, a mobile phone retailer. In 1999 he had his first taste of television when he appeared on the Michael Barrymore show My Kind of Music and won enough money to enable him to travel to Italy and take singing lessons at a summer school. He sang with the Bath Opera, a local amateur company, and performed the roles of Don Basilio in The Marriage of Figaro, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni, and the Herald in Turandot. He also toured Italy and sang with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, all of which caused some controversy on the Britain's Got Talent show, which was supposed to be for undiscovered talent, but Potts' response to this was that he had never been paid for any of the performances -- he had personally paid for all his training and even the Italian tour was part of the course. He had very low self-esteem and had just about given up on a career in music, particularly after an accident in 2003 in which he broke his collarbone and almost abandoned singing altogether. Winning the TV talent show, however, gave him a new outlook on life, and less than a month after the show's finale, in which he again sang Nessun Dorma, his debut album, One Chance, was released, selling over 125,000 copies in its first week. One wonders what would have happened had Doctor Gore won Britain's Got Talent instead of Paul Potts. ~ Sharon Mawer, All Music Guide

소름이 확~ 돋으면서 이어 눈물이 납니다! 어린시절부터 늘 외톨이로 들판에서 노래를 부르며 외로움을 달랬다는 군요. 진주가 조개의 상처 치료 물질이라죠? 행복한 예술가는 없는것 같아요. 감동의 목소리! 감동의 폴포츠!!
