Paul Potts Wows with "Nessun Dorma"

Alex Delyle
Posted June 11, 2007

I'm a sucker for two things: underdogs and arias. So it goes without saying that this clip from UK talent show Britain's Got Talent tugs at my delicate little heart strings like no other.

No one underestimates the significance of a Simon Cowell smile -- the guy rarely cracks one. But when Paul Potts opens his mouth and lets loose a flawless rendition of "Nessun Dorma," Cowell can't help but grin from ear to ear. Potts is a mobile salesman by day and exudes a genuine humbleness that is rare among talent show contestants. It might be early in the game, but we're betting on him to go all the way.

I have heard both Potts and Pavarotti sing this piece and Potts wins hands down. Personally I prefer Rock music but this raised goose pimples all over me.

Bravo! THAT was fantastic! I'm so sad I won't be able to watch his next step in the competition (unless it's on BBC America)-- I know he'll be amazing. Go get'em Paul, Baby!!
