From the US to Europe
Posted 15th June 2009
From Canada we flew to La Guardia airport in New York, thanks to very friendly staff at the airport who transferred us from the Newark, New Jersey flight to the flight to La Guardia which meant that our journey to the hotel was much shorter. We arrived with the sun still shining in the city, and hoping that the sun would still shine on the next day which he had free in New York. That was not to be, however. We woke to torrential rain that was here to stay. Rather than spend the day indoors, though we grabbed an umbrella and took a stroll in the rain. Julz and I enjoyed a day strolling around and dodging puddles.
After our rather wet day off, the weather improved the next day and it was time to start work in earnest on promoting Passione. My first TV show was The View, which is similar to a UK chat show called Loose Women. I enjoyed my performance of Mamma and they did an incredible job with the set and lighting, during the song there was a screen in front where my live image was projected on the screen in front. It was quite strange seeing myself back to front live!
The next day, I recorded an extensive interview for PBS, a very influential channel in the US that brings arts and music to a large section of the public. After a number of other interviews, including a satellite tour of the US, it was time to head out for dinner, and we headed down to the downtown area of Manhatten for nice meal in Greenwich. We didn’t have a late night as I was to be up for the Today show the next morning.
We were up before 6 to get to the studio in time for a soundcheck. There I met Matt and Meredith Viera again. The last time I had seen Matt his arm was in a sling, so it was good to see he was on the road to recovery as his arm was now out of plaster. It was another enjoyable performance of Mamma and not long after a few interviews, it was time to head to the airport to head back to Europe and my first performance in Germany for the new album.
We arrived in London en route to Frankfurt where we would take the 3 hour drive to a very pretty German town called Gotha. It was a historic town with a beautiful castle right opposite where we were staying in beautiful grounds with its own ‘English Garden’. The weather was beautiful, and so Julz and I took a walk around the gardens.
After our recovery day, it was time to head to the studio for rehearsals. It was great to be involved with the Carmen Nebel show again, the last time I did it was right before the arena tour of Germany last year in Dortmund. This time it was in Erfurt, a small town in Central Germany. One of the performances was with a boy called Dennis and we performed Mamma together, and I gave my first TV performance of the beautiful aria from Franz Lehar’s operetta Das Land des Lachelns (The Land of Smiles). I really enjoyed my performance and the audience gave me a huge reaction, which seemed to go on forever!
After the performance we made our way to the town of Mainz, where I was to perform on the opening show of the series for a TV show called Fernsehegarten (meaning TV garden). Here I gave a performance of Mamma in the outdoors in beautiful weather. There were lots of people enjoying the sunshine and I met quite a lot of them on my way back to the dressing room. We then made our way to Oberhausen for what was to be a suprise performance…But more of that in a few days!

Original artwork has certain advantages over mass produced replicas of famous artwork, in that you can order a piece in whatever size or color scheme you wish. This allows you to have the art in your dining room mesh with the aesthetic of the rest of the room, rather than compete with it.
A dining room is often the most formal room in any house. This is part of the reason that so many people struggle when it comes to decorating their dining room. With the introduction of some original pieces of artwork, you can quickly and easily create a room that is both inviting and formal; a room that will be suitable for family meals as well as more elegant gatherings. Unlike many famous paintings, which can dictate the tone of a room based upon their own history and reputation, original artwork is a much cleaner canvas, and works well in pulling together the room.

I don’t know if anyone gets these comments back to you, but I hope that they do. You are so deserving of all the success you are experiencing. You are a brilliant and gifted talent and also clearly possess a warm and humble heart and soul. I saw you when you came to Atlanta Symphony Hall, and you were spectacular. I waited for One Chance after watching your Britain’s Got Talent audition on You Tube and purchased it right away. I also bought Passione (along with the program) at the Atlanta performance. I look forward to your next release. I have shown your videos to countless friends and family…some opera fans, some not…all were moved to tears. I hope your success endures so that we can continue to enjoy your breathtaking voice.

paul, i saw you once again in hollywood, fl…..first and foremost, let me say you were MAGNIFICENT…....however, there are several things i would like to comment on…..
the venue itself, was very disrespectful to you…..please come to this area again…...to a theatre that will close the doors and require that all be seated before you come onto the stage….your opening song was beautiful…..but those of us that were seated were distracted by people milling about….
poor ticket sales…...i have to say that the people that promote you apparently aren’t doing their job when you come to the states…...i’ve seen you twice in hollywood….neither time were you advertised…..obviously, if people knew you were going to be there, tickets would have sold out…...i actually spoke to a man that was from the hollywood area….he confirmed that he had not seen an advertisement….i live in st. lucie county…...you were never advertised in this area…..
the third thing…...when i saw you last year, your conductor was fabulous…...very good at what he did…....he brought out the very best in that orchestra….what happened this time around…...you have to know how important things like that are…......
once again, i will say that you, yourself…...you were magnificent…....it was truly an honor to see you once again….please come back…...
