Who knew? ;)

Is anyone else watching this?! There are two people that I've just thought are phenomenal! The first is Paul Potts... the Opera singer? I don't know anything about Opera, but this guy is amazing!

Apologies, I could not figure out how to embed the videos...

and then there is Conny. Who doesn't love Conny? I have no idea if she's made it further...

I couldn't get the first two videos. Are you talking about American Idol? I don't watch it but on some news show last night they had a clip from American Idol with some guy singing opera. He was phenomenal.

It's Britain's Got Talent... I've been watching it via YouTube. The first 2 videos are Paul Potts and yes, he sings opera. One of the judges is Simon Cowell, which is why you thought it was AI :). There is also America's Got Talent with David Hasselhof as one of the judges. And I'm pretty sure there is a French version as well. I love YouTube :p.

I really love Paul Potts... he's this geeky looking guy with crooked teeth and he works as like a car accessory (radios & phones & such) salesguy. He doesn't favor himself much. And he comes out there and SINGS LIKE THAT? It's phenomenal. You just have to wonder about this guy's life to have kept that incredible gift hidden for so long...

I did a search on You Tube and found him. Yes, that's who I saw - he's amazing.

I have never seen these shows, but right now I am watching America's Got Talent and most of these people suck.

I have never seen a singel episode of American Idol. I have a sister who loves it. She actually has parties where her friends come over to watch it. I just happened to see that guy on a news clip.
