The Stirring Voice of Paul Potts

Have you seen this video of Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts? A Bristol, England, native walks on stage, feeling nervous, and does not impress the judges by claiming a desire to sing opera. Oh, but when he sings! He went to the semi-finals to sing "A Time To Say Goodbye," and returned to his first song in the finals, "Nessun Dorma." Now he has a £1m record deal with Simon Cowell’s label and plans to sing with Katherine Jenkins at a Wales event.

Bravo!!

Oh, thank you. That first video, especially, is priceless. I've linked.
