I was listening to a Rob Bell message this morning, and he actually showed the video of Paul Pots during his message. I’ve seen the video before, but hearing it again this morning jogged my memory, and so I thought I’d share it with ya’ll.
I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with the “America’s Got Talent” tv show on NBC, but there is British version of this show as well (not so surprising). Both, coincidentally, are produced by Simon Cowell, so you kinda get the idea behind the show.
In the last season of the British show, there was a man who tried out for the show by the name of Paul Pots — a car phone salesman from Wales who sings Opera. Most of us are accustomed to Simon Cowell ripping performers and telling them how utterly horrible they are for trying to sing, but when Paul Pots got up to audition, he left Simon Cowell speechless. So if you haven’t seen the videos on YouTube, I put the audition clip below, and you can check out all the other performances by Paul Pots as the competition went on (he ended up winning the whole thing). But it’s just an amazing story on so many different levels and even though I’m not a big fan of opera, his singing will give you “goosepimples”, as the Brits say.

Not that I’m a huge Puccini groupie or an expert on opera, but seriously… the dude can sing. I remember when they were first talking about this guy and when I heard him sing, I was floored. That is some hardcore talent for a guy who just sell phones, and if I recall he didn’t have any actual classical training really, did some small theater stuff and that was it. Nessun Dorma is a great song BTW. Okay, that’s all.

He will be one of the next big Opera Tenors. If you have not seen him on YouTube you must look him up. Watching someone like Paul come from no where to front stage was an absolute thrill. I feel fortunate. What an experience.

You must check out Paul Pots 1st album - One Chance. He has two Christmas songs on the album. Go to Amazon.com and you can preview some of the songs on the album. You will want to buy it.
