Britain's got Talent

[kulwen]

Holy cow, I was impressed. And, it is not my type of music.

 

[bikerskier]

Wow, thanks for sharing that. It was incredible!

 

[Xbrit]

Absolutely BRILLIANT, thanks for sharing.

 

[Firedog]

I love surprises. Chalk one up for the mobil phone saleman!

 

[vectervp1]

Saw this yesterday. WTF is he doing selling phones?!?! I'm predicting a career change in his near future.

Saw this on the news this morning. I think they said he had an accident/injury and he re-entered the work force selling phones. Not my style of music, but, it was absolutely brilliant.

 

[radman]

Nice. Feel good stuff sometimes, well, just feels good. Thanks for the link.

 

[Randy]

btw - he's not exactly a rookie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Potts

 

[TriggerT]

DAMN! Even if he doesn't win I think he is in for a career change. Nice to se that some of the people that go on those shows REALLY do have some talent. Not my kind of music, but I can still see what a great amount of talent he has.

I have been subjected to this show all week by the SO. There have been dancing dogs, dancing/singing kids, crap ventriliquists, batton twirling gay's and ....wait for it....'grinder girl'. ( A woman with a 4" grinder and steel plates attatched to her uniform which give off sparks as she touches them with the grinder as she dances???!!!).

This guy is a proper performer and if he doesn't win it will be a travesty.

The idea of the show is to find an act to add to the 'Royal Veriety Show'. A once a year live variety show that the Queen attends.

Try these select few:

Talented singing 6 year old



Worlds worst knife throwing act

 

[airboss]

WOW! that was great,and the only culture I have is in my yogurt.

Well doesnt that just take the amazement out of it. Shhh I am sure they can sell him as an untrained talent from the back woods of GB

UPDATE: the 6 year old singing some where over the rainbow was a little angle with a great voice. The knife thrower... they should have stopped it sooner!

I figured he had some training (and assistance with Italian) to hone his base talent. Still, its great to see an "ordinary" guy be able to begin to fulfill a dream. I hope someone signs the man to a contract. Its certainly different than our Pop-stars.

Irrespective of this info, I did'nt expect the guy to come out singing opera the way he did without some kind of training. I hope he does well, great voice and I'm not even an opera fan!!

 

[Feejer/Weejer man]

Check out the 14 year old boy doing Unchained Melody. Plus this sure is a lot better than American Idol. Even Simon has more personality and the players are more respectful than the American counterparts.

[meosborn]

Yeah, yeah, everything is better when it's not American. Blah blah blah...

 

[bramfrank]

Potts isn't a pro - and that's all that counts in the 'pick a country' Got Talent shows.

In any case, he had a serious bike accident and 'came back', which explains his teeth.

IMO the 14 year old doesn't compare.

Here is the last video, he won.
