It could not have happened to a nicer guy. Congratulations, Paul!

But I would not mind seeing the guy with his monkey again. He was a flat out riot.

Paul Potts Performance #2 -- "Con te partirò" (Time to Say Goodbye)

Thanks—hadn’t seen that one—can’t wait to watch. He’s singing two of my favorites.

I bet it makes Simon’s day finding people like this. Especially after going through the American Idol crap.

[beaversmom]

Wow—he’s great. When’s he going to duet with Brightman?

[MistrX]

Bad teeth?

Impossible!

Everybody knows that England has public health care.

And why is a stock-boy allowed to run up $60,000 in debt?

[BlessedBeGod]

I can’t stop listening to him. And he makes me cry every time, dang it!

Check this out.

It looks like a lot of it consisted of medical bills.

[beaversmom]

Did you see this little cutie? She needs to get her teeth fixed too :)

Not mine!

We should be too harsh. In the few weeks they'll be making fun of us for bedbugs and "morgolans" disease spread by 50 million illegals overrunning our borders for amnesty.

You know I've never watched one episode of American Idol, but from the bits and pieces I've seen on the cable news channels, I would have to agree with you--seems to be a lot of crap.

Isn't she adorable? She performed "Over the Rainbow" even better in the final than she did for her original audition. Unfortunately her rendition of "Ben" didn't turn out quite as well.

Have you seen Bessie Cursons? Terrific!

Bessie Cursons Performance #1 -- "Wouldn't It Be Loverly"

Bessie Cursons Performance #2 -- "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

Bessie Cursons Performance #3 -- "Get Me To The Church On Time "

It is very hard to find a NHS dentist they say that they cannot afford to practise under the NHS and most of the decent ones are now private.

Unfortunately it is not difficult to run up that sort of debt on credit cards in Britain many companies offer 5 - 10 thousand pounds per card it does not take many cards to get that debt. Britain is run on personal credit.

I doubt it more like things that people consider necessities nowadays. The sort of medical problems he had he would have been treated as a priority on the NHS so would not have needed to resorted to private care.

[AmericaUnited]

Absolutely fantastic! I've watched his audition 20 times. This could not have happened to a nicer and more deserving person. YEAH!! Enough of the jerky brat contestants.

[BlessedBeGod]

You’re right — I forgot about the NHS.
