I saw this a few days ago, really incredible.

Edit: Noticed the second video...the song is "Con Te Partirò", right? I'm not an expert on opera.

 

[Petethedrummer]

yeah i saw this a few days back- he's realllllly freaking good

 

[J-Dubya 777]

I must not have a heart because....

Astros fan, maybe? :Smokedev:

 

[Troy the nomad]

....WOW!

 

[AMBR]

Wow. I have completely avoided all Idol-shows, so reluctantly tuned into the first video. Yea, I got teary eyed and downright shivery in the last one. Thanks, Glenn. Very inspiring and humbling.

Just got back from dinner at my mom's. I showed her the videos and she was wowed. She loves opera. I tried to get her into Nightwish by giving her all the slow songs but she hated Tarja's voice.

He has nothing on Eric Adams!

 

[Dark One]

Saw this on the news last night - absolutely had me choked up. What an amazing talent.

[Pellaz]

Breathtaking!

I'd seen the first video thanks to a very early friend's blog post on MySpace, but stilll......absolutely amazing!

 

[Ramaries]

Haha! In one song Simon face go from scorn to shock to admiration. He good.

 

[BenMech]

have to find a better computer terminal to see that. The timecode alignment was off,so it looked like this guy was lip-syncing. So as of now, count me in with Tess' reaction.

 

[PatrickHoyt]

thats amazing how an average cell phone salesmen with a talent that big can just be hidden for so long. Whether the guy wins or not, you know he's gettin a gig some place big.

 

[Thorn23TX]

He won last night actually. Here's a link to the vid.

What a great story.

 

[OrbWeaver]

I'm so glad he won! Mr. Potts has got quite the voice! And Nessun Dorma is one of my favorite arias ever.

So it seems Britian votes for people based on talent, unlike American Idol...
