For those of you who’ve never heard of Britain’s got Talent; just know it’s yet another Simon Cowell vehicle and I’m sure you can figure out the rest. But there are a few things that make Britain’s got Talent different; it’s being broadcast daily and it’s open to any kind of act, unless of course you’ve seen the movie The Aristocrats.
Also differentiating it from Simon Cowell’s stateside day job; some of these contestants can actually sing. Paul Potts, this mild mannered cell phone salesman, comes out of the box dropping Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma” and within two minutes shows more emotion than all the contestants combined on the last season of American Idol.
(Not hard… I know. Still this is a great performance.)
Britain’s got Talent: Paul Potts opera singer/cell phone salesman
Just a nice little feel good story to end a rather bad day.
