I know there are a lot of fans for both Greg Pritchard and Susan Boyle and they are both unique in their own way. Susan had her underdog position when she first stepped on the stage but she no longer has that. She is now a serious contender for the win of Britains Got Talent seasong three. The media attention she got is almost ridiculous as she already has been to Oprah and other big American talk shows.
Greg Pritchard has not had that much of fame. He thrives with his singing and the fact that he can actually sing really good. I am not downgrading Susan because she can sing well, but there were a lot of off-notes in her performance in the semi-finals as well as in the first auditions.
Greg Pritchard Biography
The young and talented Greg Pritchard made a huge first impression with his unique voice on seasong three of Britain's Got Talent. As of now he is actually an ex-hotel worker even though he has told the press that it has been close he quit singing completely because people made fun of his voice. Such a talent would have never been seen because of immature ridicule towards his singing.
This 24-year-old blew the judges away with his singing and made way to the semi-finals with Greg Pritchards version of Nessun Dorma. Greg is not used to all this attention. Back in Cardiff where he lived before he moved back to his family three years ago he did not get that much attention. He sung along while listening music from such artist as Charlotte Churh and reached the same notes as her. All he has to say about his voice is: "It's unique. I can't think of any other adult male who can sing as high as a woman but still be able to reach the high notes like a woman." That is what makes his singing so great. On saturday you only heard his high notes, but it is true that he can sing the bass to. That will be left to the semi finals I think.
"I heard someone laughing and I remember thinking whether I should stop. I didn't want to be a comedy act. But I am so used to the ridicule that I just closed my eyes and went for it. The next thing I knew was a standing ovation."
Just like his fellow Welshman Shaheen Jafargholi, greg has really attracted the media, and with his looks and personality he has a true potential to become a huge star. He dedicated his performance to his father Spencer, who died aged 57 after complications during an operation.
It was very hard losing his father but he has to move along. His death came as a surprise. Greg Pritchard still imagines his father coming through the door one day and sit down with him. He would love that his father was there to see and hear him achieving all this. After his death Greg moved back to his family home with his young brother and mother. As tragic as it is he was forced to turn down a scholarship to the Britain's oldest independent theatre arts training school because they did not have the money for him to be living in london.

Is Greg Pritchard Going to Outrank Paul Potts
Greg Pritchard is the newest Britain's got talent sensation with his audition singing Nessun Dorma. He did sing like a soprano which is actually a female voice. Looking like a rock star wannabe everyone was suprised at the song choice, and finally by his singing. Is it possible that Greg will reach the victory of BGT like Potts did with his performance? It remais to be seen as the finals start in a few weeks!
Paul Potts was definitely a typical Britains Got Talent sensation. A man who looked (and was) like a mobile phone salesman who was not going to be too famous. And that is what everyone liked about him. With his version of Nessun Dorma he speeded to fame. What Greg Pritchard is lacking is the normal looks. Usually someone who amazes everyone completely is a normal looking person. Or even someone who you would not see too often and you'd be glad you did not. But Greg looks like a rock star. That is the difference, but it is also impressive since he looks like a rock star wannabe, and sings like an opera professional. He will give a lot of publicity to the whole opera culture if he ever makes it to the stardome with his singing!
Greg Pritchards voice is indeed unique as he sings way higher than men usually sing. He has explained the uniqueness of his voice by always practicing in the car and his bedroom with the music volume been set very loud. His mother was always shouting at him to put the music down but Greg never stopped singing. His high notes reach the scale of a soprano which is a female scale in the world of opera. He does classify himself as a male soprano!
The judges were at least as suprised as the audience who were present and those who were watching the show at home. Piers Morgan was left with his jaw on the table and mentioned many times that his singing was extraordinary. He could not believe that it was actually his voice that was coming out of the mouth of Greg Pritchard. The young man who looked like he had spent his whole youth laying on home tanning beds. It was nothing what he was expecting!
