Britain's Got Talent.

For the last few days I have been completely mesmorised by youtube links to a British TV show called Britain's got talent. The aim of the show was to find somebody to sing in the Variety Show in front of the queen and on Sunday, Paul Potts was announced the winner of the show. I started watching the audition videos and I was really impressed by Paul singing Nessun Dorma. I have never really liked opera, I always thought of it as just warbling noise but this audition tape leaves me in tears every time I watch it and I think Mr Potts may have converted to me to Opera Tenors. What I like most about this video is the look of low expectation from the judges when Paul announces that he is going to sing opera and then the looks of sheer astonishment when they realise that he can actually sing. It sends shivers down my spine, I am so glad that he won!

(I was also very impressed by Tony Laf's audition but he unfortunately didn't get into the final. It's also worth checking out some of the other videos, the bad and the good, for good comedy value!)

YOUTUBE ROCKS!
