Paul Potts IS a genuine opera singer and, as a younger man toured with a regional opera company in the UK  Susan Boyle has never sung anything remotely resembling opera in her life.

I think the trouble is that kids are so used to dance pop with its beats and screaming and such, they think anything with melody and intelligent lyrics is opera. Her Mad World is my favorite version. Her Enjoy The Silence is great too.
