...sitting thru a season of one of those reality talent shows. some bloke working in a wireless store goes on Britain's Got Talent and STUNS them. it's opera, but worth it... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1k08yxu57NA&feature=related

Yep that guy, Potts can sing wonderfully. It's been on before but is worth the visit. That piece of music was well done.
-
Great singer!:aok
-
That is quite good. Part of me wants to see what he'd be like after vigorous voice training, but another part realizes that his voice would lose some individuality in doing so.
-
Just seeing the reaction of the crowd was AMAZING, especially as a significant number are of the hip-hop/rap/pop generation that think classical music is something outdated and to ridicule.
-
I wish the shows were called Britain / America Has Talent...
-
Incredible to say the least:aok

If he puts out an album (as stated at the end by Simon) I'd buy several copies.

I read your post about the STUN and got hopeful someone was getting tased for bad singing. They really need to add a call in voting option on American Idol. Tase or no tase. ;)

Fantastic Story!

you're very welcome! I'm going to pick up a couple copies too, good gift material. The album is out, by the way. Just downloaded it 'cause I'm an impatient bastige (before I get the 3rd degree, I'm still gonna buy it...) There's a couple interesting song choices that sound damn good done opera style...
Paul Potts - One Chance
01.Nessun Dorma
02.Time To Say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro)
03.Amapola
04.Everybody Hurts (Ognuno Soffre)
05.Caruso
06.Nella Fantasia
07.You Raise Me Up (Por Ti Sere)
08.My Way (A Mi Manera)
09.Cavatina
10.Music Of The Night
'Bout the original link I posted, I loved the way the audience and judges (especially that hottie in the middle, wowsa!) reacted while he sang. When he said "I'm here to sing opera" they were like "oh boy, this guy's gonna suck..."
-
No kidding, addict. The judges looked bored and amused before he started singing. But after...?
I loved the shot of the female judge when you can VISIBLY see her breathing deepen in reaction. Total emotional breast-heaving, lol! :D Even the two men looked like they were on the verge of tears. I feel sorry for everyone he was competing against. ;) I'm glad he won. Score one for REAL music!
This is why I want to see someone put a REALLY good jazz big band on American Idol. Guarantee if you get a group with serious chops in there, they would blow these pop twits away.
