Click to view Paul Potts Wows Again In Semi-Finals

When opera sensation (for real) Paul Potts advanced to the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent, based on his tear-enducing performance of "Nessun Dorma," his future prospects depended on him living up to that gold standard. No worries, though: his rendition of "Time to Say Goodbye" during last night's semi-finals is just as flawless and heartfelt.

In case you were wondering, America, the winner of Britain's Got Talent not only wins a cash prize, but will also perform for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance. So if you ask any of us here at The Daily Reel, if anyone deserves the chance to show Her Majesty his stuff, it's this humble salesman from South Wales.

EDITED SUNDAY: Congratulations, Signore Potts, on your victory! Very well-deserved.

This American did get a chance to see Paul Potts. I have never been into opera but this man has opened my ears to a wonderful new art for me. I eagerly embrace it!!!!

Wow! I am truly amazed! Paul, you brought tears to my eyes as I watched both of your performances. The reaction of the crowd, and the judges, was incredible. A magic moment in television. My son just introduced me to Paul Potts yesterday and now I'm a fan. I wish America was privileged to see the live final show of Britain's Got Talent! Britain... you do have talent!!

regardless whether he received training or not, it's his performance on stage that endeared people to him...3 out of 5 who make it to the finals on Idol have had some kind of training, in the end you can be trained by the music powerhouses but once you get on stage if you can't connect to the audience then you're done... and no training in the world can help you acheive success unless you have the basic requirement: natural talent...and paul potts has that in loads!
