I don't know much about this contest, but Simon is one of the judges. Anyway, I came across this and thought it was interesting:

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21904047-2,00.html

edited for "britain"....it was bugging me lol

It is about a contestant, 36 year old Paul Potts, who sings opera.. be sure to watch the video.

Apparantly the judges round in the auditions is done in front of an audience. This guy is amazing. The next Luciano Pavarotti??

Oooh, well I didn't even notice, I thought I might have transposed the "ai" since that is often done.

Anyway, I was going to say that you are only allowed to correct my spelling if you post in the thread. Wink

Yes! Little Connie Talbot is a darling, she melted my heart! Simon loved her too.

For anyone who wants to see, Paul's MySpace blog has videos for all the top 6 that will be in the finals:

I also liked the girl who sang Mary Poppins, Bessie Curtzons.

She wasn't very good when singing "Ben"...but then again, she's only 6 years old.

I am glad he won. I loved little Connie, but she will probably have some great opportunities from all of this.

I thought Bessie Cursons was really good too (and cute!):

I loved both of them. I didn't watch the show just saw the clips on youtube and thought wow... I actually got teared up when I heard Paul sing opera and I never was that interested in opera. Guess I must be growing up or something.

To be honest I felt teary eyed when the little girl sang too.

There was something so sweet, human, and may I add humble to both of them that made you love them without even knowing them.

US telly stations have bombarded Talent producer Syco TV with requests for Paul to sing. He has agreed to perform on the Today show on NBC tomorrow morning.

Paul will sing from the world famous Rockefeller Plaza — following in the footsteps of major acts including Bon Jovi and Enrique Iglesias…….
