Paul Potts sings an opera song, "Turandot, Act II, Nessun Dorma" and captivates the judges Simon Cowell and others including the audience. He is a cell phone salesman and if he sings like it that job will be replaced soon.

In this video of the show “Britains got Talent”, Paul Potts sings this Opera song, Turandot, Act III, Nessun Dorma”. He is a cell phone salesman and participates in this show with his singing talent.

Watch his brilliant performance. Even a novice like me could be overwhelmed by his singing. Watch Simon Cowell and other Judges, they are stumped to hear his singing, one of the judges Amanda cries even and says he is a lump of coal that is going to turn into a diamond. Simon Cowell is usually harsh on the singers, but he just has high praises for him.

It is a great song. Enjoy it.

Watch his finals performance here.

Hi Robin, I also noticed this for the first time, but if there are more I will definetely add it. Since he passed the earlier rounds, we will be seeing him more later. Thanks.

Its amazing that an ordinary guy can have a talent like that. Reminds me of the scene in 'Employee Of The Month' where the night janitor sings both the male and female parts of the opera.

Fantastic, I stumbled on this site by accident and this was the first video I watched. Jesus it brought tears to my eyes. Had to watch it again to see if it was a fluke but it did it again and another 5 times. Great stuff.

Thanks beatlesfan, I also checked the video by accident. He has unbelievable talent. Hope he becomes successful, and he is modest.

He is inspiring, and dare I say it, he sings as if the angels express through his voice.

His voice brought tears.

Thanks Jewels, Compu-smart. We don't get to hear like this often either in Idol show or Talent show, so this is a breath of fresh air.

Have heard much about "You Tube", had time to night and what a wondrful sight an ordinary man whose voice with more training will bring him diamonds.

Jishigo63, yes he has a great voice :) hope he gets a break soon rather than being a mobile salesman.

Oh my God! What a voice ! I can't stop listening to this. I don't even like opera but watched Paul after I received a link from my friend. I don't think anyone could have compared to him in the finals. Congrats and I hope to see more of you in the future Paul.

He was quite good, for sure. Part of what makes it great is the humanity you can see in his eyes and hear in his voice. Like a sadness almost.

Wow, fantastic performance. This really proves that you can never judge a person by the first glance impression alone. Real gem sparkles the more you polish it.... Hope he would be a versatile singer too, to further prove his worth. Goodluck Paul....
