Paul Potts Wins BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT
After Paul Potts reprised his stirring rendition of "Nessun Dorma" in Sunday night's final episode of Britain's Got Talent, host Ant (or Dec -- I get them confused) announced that all of Britian had gone "Paul Potts Potty." But you stand corrected, Mr. Dec (or Ant): it's the entire world that's watching.
Congratulations, Signore Potts, on your victory, which includes a record contract and live performance before the Queen. Bravissimo.

Paul Potts sang. I cried. With him, we reflect on our hopes, too. But, is he a charade, emoting as an Unknown Unconfident Underdog on U-tube?
Setup: "… the world of show biz seems a million miles away.", "… mobile phone salesman …." at 0.00, youtube.com/watch?v=1k08yxu57NA . He said that he lacked confidence. Simon Cowell said, at 3.51 , "… isn’t a professional, has talent, isn’t aware of it, has a normal job, and then you see something else."
Paul was a hold-out: "… I’ve not taken up promotions before because people wanted me to change ….", myspace.com/paul_potts , 6-18 clip, 1.30. That seems strong minded. He has Confidence!
NBC Today Show question: "… I know that you haven’t had formal training, so how did you learn to sing like this?". He ignored their wrong assumption: "Umm, I’ve just always sung, just always sung. My voice has always been my best friend.", 6-21 clip, 2.53; site above.
Paul was elected a Lib. Dem. councillor in Bristol, March 96. Unconfident? bristolwest-libdems.org.uk/news/000338.html His voice, his friend?
If Paul Potts fairly wins a competition to get a contract, then great! The June 21 NBC interview ends near 0.20 with a transition piece to NBC’s next show segment. The topic was ironically poignant: “Greed in America: why some people will do anything in search of easy money.”. Emotion was hyped, then E-motioned by U-tube. We cried. Why? Good voice, and hyped! Perhaps disclosures of Paul and Simon were not as lyrically full as some New York city namesakes, but they might have much in common with another June 21 item from MSNBC: “Martha Stewart on grilled chicken done right” at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19054369/ . Someone, turn up the heat to grill them about “disclosure”, in this case! The sound of money echoes in my deeply emoted feelings, and charades are shallow sales.

Thank you Britain's Got Talent for giving the world an opportunity to uncover beautiful sounds that, if not heard , would have been a loss to us all.
