    Default Watch this, and try not to cry and feel inspired

    This clip is form a show called Britain's Got Talent. This man's voice is incredible, and he is such a humble soul---the whole audience loses it after his performance. And the look on Simon Cowell's face is priceless...

    His name is Paul Potts? How unfortunate...

    Yeah, I totally teared up at the 2 minute mark. He sounds like he's been classicly trained though. I doubt he just randomly started singing like that one day and thought, hey, I'll be an opera star. The show kind of portrays it that way.

    I think there is some speculation about whether he has had some lessons----likely he has. Still, he obviously lives a very modest life---a carphone salesman with a lack of confidence, no less! His life just changed, though. Anyone who can make people cry with the sound of his voice in a minute's time is gifted! I can't stop listening to this clip.

    It is so gratifying to see someone get to live out their dream, especially when you can see in their face and hear in their voice the passion they feel. I'd say he is definitely fulfilling what he was born to do.

    He has had lessons... by some really great opera voices in the industry. That being said, he was sick for a long time and saw this as his last chance to be big.

    As a man I'm a little reluctant to reveal how I was moved to tears upon seeing that person of such humble ways being applauded and adored by the audience. I'm unable to pin down exactly what it is about that scene that moves me. His voice soars but that alone is not it. His stance is so formal and there is not even a hint of him trying to look relaxed. Maybe the answers to the stirrings in me is to be found in the rising of hand claps from the audience, the growing show of support, and of someone being appreciated and enjoyed. Maybe it is witnessing a dream come true for someone. Anyway, I was enriched for having viewed the recording.

    Its art, its suppose to have that affect, its suppose to reach into your soul and make you explore your feelings / emotions. Any art is trying to do this.
