Cell phone salesman, opera singer

By on June 18, 2007 in Music and lyrics, Story and design

When you’re a judge for a talent contest, and you ask someone why he’s there, and he responds, “To sing opera,” that is not normally a good sign.

Here is Paul Potts, a cell phone salesman, in “Britain’s Got Talent.” Especially watch the face of Simon Cowell, most well known in the U.S. for his role on “American Idol.”

Paul ended up winning the competition and after singing for the queen, he’ll begin recording his first album.

    One of our staff here at UCLA circulated this to the entire office. We were all blown away by this. Just incredible. So pleased he won – looking forward to his new album!

    I am not an Opera lover but the humbleness of this man and his amazing voice brought tears to my eyes. He is certainly blessed with a gift from God.
