Thumbs up Such an inspiration
Every time I look at this video I get goosebumps.

A bit about it first...

Quote:
In the interview that was broadcast before his performance in the semi-final, Paul stated that he had trouble with being bullied in school, and that it may have had an influence on his lack of self-confidence.

Until June 19, 2007 Potts worked as a manager at the Bridgend Carphone Warehouse, a mobile phone store around 8 miles from his home town.

On June 9, 2007, Potts' audition of Simon Cowell's new search-for-a-star show Britain's Got Talent was televised on ITV in UK. The actual audition was held at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff on March 17, 2007. Paul sang a condensed version of Giacomo Puccini's "Nessun dorma", which impressed the judges and received a standing ovation from the audience of 2,000 people.

In the semi-final on June 14, 2007, Potts performed main verses of "Con te partirò" with praise from the audience and judges.
Here's the amazing video. http://www.maniacworld.com/Phone-Sal...zes-Crowd.html

AND this same man made the finals. http://www.maniacworld.com/Phone-Sal...wd-Part-2.html

And now, look at how Paul Potts has turned out from the shy and bullied kid that he once was.

Thumbs up OMG...That was marvelous!
I typically don't watch those Idol shows (I know I am a dinosaur) but this one
is just over the top. Truly brings those tears... it must be the power of his voice combined with his personality ..because I don't know what he sang about!
Real feeling.. and yes, inspiration!

all it did for me was make my arm do the "wave after the wave" jiggle.
