Paul Potts: More classical than crossover?

As Susan 'the hairy angel' Boyle continues to hog the headlines this week amid accusations of a media backlash, one of reality TV's biggest success stories is preparing for the release of his second album on Monday.

Paul Potts , the former phone salesman who wowed fans of ITV's primetime show Britain's Got Talent final back in 2006, is determined to prove that contestants can have longevity in the music industry.

He's announced that his second disc Passione - tipped for success after his debut release One Chance topped the charts in 13 countries - will be more classical than crossover. However, a glance at the track list might suggest otherwise. As well as a version of A Whiter Shade of Pale, the disc boasts familiar showstoppers such as La Prima Volta and Memory.

Now, I'm all for supporting artists that bring new audiences to classical music, but this is slightly misleading, Mr Potts. Tsk, tsk.

Passione is released on Syco Music on June 1, preorder here
