Cell Phone Salesman Sings Opera

by Dan on December 27th, 2007

I stumbled across a video of the British version of American Idol, called Britain’s Got Talent, where a cell phone salesman named Paul Potts sings opera in his audition for a crowd of 2,000 and receives a standing ovation. He’d taken opera lessons at his own expense and sung in several amateur shows but was basically unknown.

I’ve never been much for opera, but had to watch him several times. His semi-final performance and winning final performance are incredible as well.
