I didn't think singing like that was possible without extensive, expensive voice lessons.

Actually Paul Potts did have some "expensive" singing lessons in
Italy a few years ago... he had won some previous competition and
spent the few grand $ on singing lessons....its on his Wikipedia page.

What singing lessons will do, is help a person improve their range and control of the voice,
which in turn will allow them to make the most of their natural tone. For opera, a certain
amount of operatic technique must be studied specifically.
I feel happy for the guy, he is 37 and not exactly flattering to look at...
His singing tone is rather unique for opera... and that is a good thing.
Over in GB, they dont have the age limit that the US Show has....
you have to be like 28 or under to on American Idol...which sucks for
people in their 30s who are quite talented....
though that one guy who won a couple years ago looks like he is about
50 and was supposedly 28 or so...
anyway kudos to Paul Potts
