A Star Is Born!!
Paul Potts sings Nessun Dorma
Being interviewed, he says “my voice has always been my best friend, if I was having problems with bullies at school, I always had my voice to fall back on, I don’t really know why people bullied me, I was always a little bit different, so I think that’s the reason sometimes that I struggle with self confidence.
Paul is a mobile phone salesman in Carphone Warehouse from South Wales. By day he sells mobile phones, his dream is to spend his life doing what he feels he was born to do.
Paul entered into the competition Britain's got talent, and on Saturday 9th June 2007, he proclaimed to the world all he wanted to do was to sing opera.
Paul has always wanted to sing as a career, but confidence has always been a difficult thing for him, he's always found it a little difficult to be completely confident in himself.
He sang Nessun Dorma and had not only audience members in tears within minutes through the emotions of his singing, but no doubt the whole of the UK in tears, he sang with such emotion, it was his time to shine on stage, and that he most definately did.
A Standing ovation greeted Paul as he walked out from the sliding doors, the crowds screamed.
After his performance Simon Cowell said "so you work at carphone warehouse in the day and you did that, I wasnt expecting that one, this was a complete breath of fresh air, I thought you were absolutely fantastic".
Once his amazing performance was over, another standing ovation, Amanda Holden the female judge in tears again, all the audience was clapping with hands in the air.

Wild Thing's comment.........
I adore Opera, I grew up going to the Opea often, and many times we had some of the singers in our home for the duration of the Opera they were performing in our city.
Vilmar sent this to me the two videos above and I love it and just had to share it with you all.
I love research so after I got this from Vilmar I found that Paul had a MySpace.
Here it is........... http://www.myspace.com/paul_potts
.......Thank you Vilmar for sending this to me!

Beautiful voice. He reminds me of a Virginia or Maryland state trooper who sings the National Anthem at sporting events and Nascar races. Charlotte Church of England is another of those whose talent spans the various audiences.
People with great voices like these grab your attention and make you realize what enjoyment good music is.

Magnificent! I sure hope Paul wins. My Father, who was born in 1918, always had Opera in the home as a child, as well as much Jewish art and music.
To this day he maintains classical music in his home (my escape place). I'm going to send this to him as one of his Fathers Day thoughts.
Sincerely, Steve Gaston
ps. My Mother likes country and western. For the life of me, I'll never know how they got together.
