This post doesn't involve Canadian music. This isn't even about trendy "indie" music. Its about a man who can sing. Really, really sing.
The latest in a long string of so-called "talent" shows on television, "Britain's Got Talent" wrapped up last night, and the winner has taken the UK - and the internet - by storm. His initial American Idol-style audition segment looked doomed from the start - an awkward, shy, cell phone salesman saying he wanted to sing opera - this couldn't go well. But then he opened his mouth, and even Simon Cowell sat up straighter and took notice. Paul Potts was fantastic! Watch his spine-tingling audition below, and then check out the other links as he goes through the semi-finals and the finals. Not only did he wow the audience in that first audition, but he went on to win the entire contest! Nice to see people still appreciate great talent, no matter what style of music they are singing.
