Latest update!

Hello everyone, I?m back ? sorry about not updating this blog yesterday ? I?ve been so busy promoting the album, as it was released on Monday and things are busier than ever. It?s like being in a whirlwind, with so much going on that sometimes I have to take a few minutes to have some time to myself ? otherwise I think I?d go mad! I honestly don?t know how I?d cope without the wonderful team of people I?ve got helping me through this exciting time. When we were preparing for the album I got to write a list of people I wanted to thank, which appears in the sleeve notes. First and foremost I have said thank-you to my wonderful wife Julie-Ann ? I wouldn?t have been able to do this without her support and love. There?s too many people to name here, but if you read the notes on the album you can see all the people that have helped me along the way. There?s so much going on behind the scenes that most people wouldn?t even have dreamed of ? including me- that goes into the business of making and releasing an album, and I have been blown away by the kindness that everyone has shown to me. If anyone reading this has bought the album, I hope you enjoy it ? I have had the most fun making it and just hope that the people who voted for me on the show like it, as it?s their support that have got me this far. Now the album is out there I feel really excited ? and I?m looking forward to the rest of the journey. I?ve just been told my next trip is to Australia and America and I?m absolutely over the moon that Julie-Ann will be coming with me to experience all of this with me.

Hi everyone, Paul here again. Hope you?re enjoying the blog so far ? it?s Friday now and the album will be in the shops on Monday ? I still can?t believe it! I?m in Bristol today ? it?s a beautiful city, and I?m really enjoying myself ? since winning the competition I?ve been lucky enough to visit some fantastic places and I?m trying to take as much of it in as possible. That?s why keeping this blog is so great ? it means that I?ll be able to read it back in the future and remember all the amazing places I got to visit and the lovely people I?ve met along the way. A real highlight of the whole adventure so far was my trip to New York a couple of weeks ago. It was a really short trip, we flew in one day and flew back home the next ? I can tell you I was pretty tired after that ? but I did have time to take in some of the sights including the Empire State Building which is something I?ll always remember and the Rockefeller centre . I remember thinking the whole time that I was the luckiest man alive, and I still think that every minute of the day. There were so many really talented people taking part in the competition that I never dreamed I would get past even the first stage. I was so nervous before I went on stage the first time, and in fact every time I performed on the show I was nervous. I?m still nervous every time I perform but as soon as I start singing I lose myself and that?s when I really feel myself.

Hello again, here?s the second update of my exclusive blog for the IC Wales Network. I?m in the middle of getting ready for the album release, and today am back in Wales which is really nice ? London is great but it?s good to be back home again, even if it?s just a flying visit for now. I had a chance to look online today and I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has been supporting me ? it completely takes my breath away. Thank you so much everyone! One of the things that has been great about all this so far is that my wife Julie-Ann has been able to be with me through all the excitement ? she?s popping back to Wales every now and then, but most of the time she?s with me in London and on the road, which I?m really grateful for. Sometimes I have to ask her to pinch me to make sure I?m not dreaming the whole thing. It?s just like a dream come true ? a dream I would never even have dared to have. I?m still getting my head around winning the competition, and even recording the album at all has been an unbelievable thrill. The whole experience so far has completely changed my life, and I?m just taking each day as it comes The suggestions of travel to America and New Zealand are unbelievable and yet very exciting these are some places I would never even have expected to be able to visit!

Hello everyone, welcome to my exclusive blog for the IC Wales Network ? in which I?ll be sharing my experiences as I enjoy the excitement and hard work that comes with releasing my first album. Winning Britain?s Got Talent has changed my life. I?ve hardly had time to think, what with recording the album, doing interviews, performing, and travelling.. I?m loving every second, and still can?t believe it?s happening to me ? I?m just so grateful for the opportunities that have been given to me and the support I have had. All of it is very hard to believe. It still hasn?t sunk in. If someone had predicted all of this would happen in my life just a month ago, I would never have believed it. I only ever wanted to sing and to be honest the reason I auditioned for the show was initially because of an ambition I had ? to sing at the , Millennium Centre where the auditions took place.
