梦想成真 -- 从一个丑小鸭终于成为美声歌星!!!
保尔·泊茨(Paul Potts)是一个非常普通的害羞内向的36岁的英国人，他的牙齿参差不齐，面部也胖嘟嘟的, 没有生动的轮廓，平时的全职工作是手机推销员(Carphone Warehouse Salesman)，但是他酷爱唱歌，当他出现在英国的才艺大赛(Britains Got Talent), 相当于美国的偶像大赛(American Idol)时，他说他将唱歌剧选曲。大家都持怀疑态度，评委也表情平平。这位貌不惊人的歌手不鸣则已，却一鸣惊人，一声“今夜无人入睡”声震大厅，竟然发出类似于帕瓦罗蒂一样的漂亮声音！Amazing Voice! 再看看评委们的脸上表情由惊讶到感动得落泪，就连最挑剔的评委Simon Cowell, 也为这个普普通通的人身上所蕴藏的艺术天赋而感到惊喜。全场沸腾了！掌声如潮，喝彩声如雷，多少人为之兴奋，多少人为之感动！一颗美声新星就这样在英国诞生了！经过了海选，初赛，半决赛和决赛，他赢得了观众的心以及全英国200000投票数一举夺魁！获得了十万英磅奖金以及唱片公司合同，所有媒体连续一周的采访报道，以及给英国女王和皇室表演的机会！ Paul Potts从此美梦成真，一夜出名！
我也深深地被感动了，含着泪水反复看了几遍，每一次都感到心灵深处的震撼！对于一位业余歌手，能唱到这水平实属不易，我自己也在学美声，也怀有像保尔·泊茨一样的梦想，所以我深知保尔·泊茨在歌唱的学习上，在寻梦之旅上倾注了多少心血和努力, 投入了多少资金！他投资学声乐，还自费去意大利去上大师课。。。他说他最大的困难就是向自己的恐惧心理，自卑感挑战, "Believing in yourself"应该是成功者的信念。比赛这天，Paul终于自信地站在了世人面前，从他身上，我看到了许多闪光的东西: 勇气, 希望，毅力，我看到了那种永不言弃的追求所带来的成功！ 所谓“一分耕耘，一分收获”, 这个录像又一次给我激励和鼓舞。在艺术追求上永远没有顶峰，艺无止境， 机会的大门永远是为那些有充分准备的人敞开的，所以，我们应该更加勤奋！在Youtube上可以看到许多留言，大家欣赏他的声音，欣赏他的演唱， 更重要的是为他的精神与毅力所感动！ Paul在英国是一颗耀眼的新星，他的歌声连同他的精神正在传播到全世界， 为更多的人树立了一个榜样，有追求有梦想的人永远是值得敬佩的，人不可貌相，有一天“丑小鸭”也会变成“天鹅”的！

《今夜无人入睡 Nessun Dorma》
选自歌剧[图兰多], 卡拉夫王子的咏叹调：
Nessun dorma, nessun dorma ...
Tu pure, o Principessa,
Nella tua fredda stanza,
Guardi le stelle
Che tremano d'amore
E di speranza.
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun saprà, no, no,
Sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà,
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
Che ti fa mia.
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!
无人睡眠，无人睡眠...
即使是你，噢，公主，
在你冰冷的房中，
仰望繁星，
它们的闪烁充满爱和希望。
然而我的秘密隐藏在心内，
我的名字无人知晓,无,无,
只有在你唇边我才会讲出，
那时日光闪亮，
我的吻使寂静溶化，
你就是我的了。
消失吧，噢，夜，
落下吧，星，
破晓之时，我将胜利。

《告别时刻》（Time To Say Goodbye -- "Con te partirò"）
告别时刻（中文歌词）
孤独时候魂萦梦牵地平线 我内心激动无言
呆在房里没有灯光 没有阳光 眼前茫然一片
当没有你陪伴在我身边 从每扇窗户 我把心怀啊敞开在你的面前
是你带来光 在那路旁 照亮荒芜的心田
此刻 说再见 有谁知 路途多远 那地方我从来未见过 也从未体验
来告别 说再见 我愿和你一起登上航船 去幻梦中茫茫海洋 飘渺的海岸
离别时刻魂萦梦牵地平线 我内心激动无言
多么盼望能够和你常见面 你是月亮常和我做伴 你是太阳常在我身边
身边 身边 身边
Quando sono solo
sogno all orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
si lo so che non c'e luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole,
se non ci sei tu con me, con me
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai acceso
chiudi dentro me
laa luce che
hai incontrato per strada
Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si vivro
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che, io o so
no, no, non esistono piu
Its time to say goodbye
Quando sei lontana
sogno all orizzonte
e mancan le parole
e io si lo so
he sei con me, con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
mio sole tu sei qui con me
con me, con me, con me
Time to say goodbye
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si li vivro
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no, no, non esistono piu
con te io li rivivro
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li rivivro
con te partiro ... lo con te
It was as if the tension would never end. But finally, eventually, painfully... Dec announced Paul Potts as the winner of Britain's Got Talent.
It was a moment where futures were made and dreams were dashed. But even though every one of the performers here has an outstanding talent, only one could scoop the big prize tonight.
Two million votes were cast by the British public. For the big winner, Welshman Paul Potts, tonight starts a week of newspaper interviews, magazine features and TV appearances. Life won't be quite the same ever again.
As Ant and Dec congratulated the singer - or was that held him up? - he told them, "I can't believe I've won it, I'm like jelly. Performing for The Queen means absolutely everything. Thank you for believing in me".
The man Simon Cowell described as "a shy and humble guy with a great talent" will now "be in the recording studio next week making his first album".
As well as the £100,000 prize cheque, the Britain's Got Talent winner will perform at the Royal Variety Performance, by invitation of Her Majesty The Queen.
The Royal Variety Performance will be shown on ITV1 on December 3rd 2007. We'll see Paul, our very deserving winner, taking his coveted place in the spotlight then.
For the opera singer, and indeed for all of the finalists on stage tonight - have proved it - Britain's Got Talent. It may be kept hidden, it might be a secret. But it's out there.
Paul can sing. What can you do?
