You really think you can compare someone like Elton John to a one-trick wonder like Paul Potts (who seems to have vanished off the face of the earth - there's a shocker).
Pop music is one thing. Classical music is another. The Paul Potts record is neither.

ORIGINAL COMMENT FROM AMAZON.COM
Paul Potts appeals to philistines and "wannabe" Classical music fans who don't actually want to bother with Classical music. Potts' album is risibly pretentious, dour, overly earnest, humourless and distinctly amateurish. It isn't so terrible that it has some sort of amusing "camp" quality to it and it isn't good enough to be considered "Light Classical" music.
Paul Potts will disappear without trace and real hard working opera singers with continue to make excellent recordings and good singers and songwriters in the Rock/Pop/Jazz field will continue to make fine music without the likes of Cross-over plonkas like Paul Potts!

ORIGINAL COMMENT FROM AMAZON.COM
Well, we can all breath a sigh of relief - Paul Potts is vanished from the world stage. He got if fifteen minutes of the fame he so cynically and blatantly craved and he probably made enough to pay off his mortgage.
From what I can tell, Potts' career is dead in the water.
As I predicted in 2007, we are now saying, "Paul who?"
