If you go to Youtube and type "Paul Potts" in the search bar and watch the first video clip that comes up you will never regret it. I have watched it maybe 25 times now and it STILL leaves me in a weeping heap. So inspirational!!! Here is God exalting the humble for all to see. Wonderful to show your children, too.

Helene,
Thank you for sharing this ! It made my day to watch it  I was in tears and my 22 month old was mesmerized. I've linked the clip -
Paul Potts on Britain's Got Talent
The reaction of the audience and the astonishment of the judge's was just priceless. I've never seen American Idol, but know about Simon Cowell and his scathing remarks. I loved seeing his genuine smile after Paul's performance 
Blessings,
Kym

Wasn't he amazing? Best of all ... he won the whole competition and gets to sing in the Royal Variety Show in front of the Queen later this year
He wasn't the only one to give a tear-jerking performance. Listen to this little girl. Enjoy!

Kym,
Thank you for the link! I am so dumb with those! I was so glad when I heard he won the competition.....the world may generally be in crisis but all is right with me today because Paul Potts WON! He said he is not 100% sure he will be leaving his job at Carphone Warehouse...ha!

That is perhaps one my very favorite pieces of opera, now I think I love it all the more. Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm so moved right now   .

I thought I'd bump this up to let you all know that Costco is currently selling a new Paul Potts CD. I gave it to my mom this evening as part of her birthday gift and she opened it and we listened during dinner here. It's fantastic! And now I want my own.

I heard this earlier this summer...and showed it to my husband...and it made HIM cry. He doesn't cry easily, but he does love stories of underdogs. I was touched, also, by the part where Paul talks about himself and his life.
