Paul Potts is "The Man"

Yes, they broadcasted the first show where he surprised the audience and the casting team for the first time. Looks like a looser, but surely sounds like a winner. I was very impressed, maybe even a bit moved, although usually not liking opera and classical singing myself. Also his biography of having dreamed his dream - for years, spending all free income on it, living with very limited money - he spend it all on singing lessons.

I do not see the danger that he will loose his sense for reality, or loosing ground under his feet.

Seems it pays all off for him, and I don't grudge him that!

Makes you wonder how many undiscovered talents are out there in the world, no matter what profession! Makes you wonder how many are just to shy, or not strong enough in self-respect, or do not get the chance due to established people blocking the market (especially in classical music a great problem). Makes you also wonder why a bitch like Britney spears and such people could get so much attention for the lousy "arts" of theirs. Life is not fair, and the bad guys too often gets the pretty ladies.
