Seen this? WOW.
« on: September 22, 2007, 04:40 AM »
I didn't know where to stick this, so I guess I'll give it it's own thread.  My wife showed me this "Britain's Got Talent" clip on YouTube last night and I thought it was actually fake at first, but then was...well, you'll have to watch it for yourself, if you're not one of the 25 million+ folks who hasn't seen it already:


Paul Potts on "Britain's Got Talent"


I doubt Simon Cowell's ever looked so stunned before.  Never judge a book by it's cover, eh...?   :o

P.S.  I think I'm officially in love with Amanda now too.

In general I don't listen to a lot of opera but that's pretty badass.

Speaking of Amanda ... I'm pretty sure she wet herself during Paul's performance.
That was impressive.

Yeah, I thought it might have looked fake also at first, but that was impressive.

Wow, what a voice. I checked the other clips of his performance on the show & just amazing, happy to see him win. Truly a rags to riches story.

Pretty incredible.  I might have actually watched some if that had happened on American Idol.

I was in Wal-Mart tonight, and they actually have a DVD/CD 2-pack for this guy.  Nice to see.

Not since Paul Potts was on the show has there ever been another... till now.  :o  :o

I doubt Simon Cowell's ever looked so stunned before.  Never judge a book by it's cover, eh...?   :o

It appears that Simon Cowell will give Susan a record deal, even in the unlikely event that she doesn’t win.


PS Matt,  Amanda is still hot, if not hotter!  ;D
