Here's something relatively new that I just found. I'm not an opera person but this shy, humble, unassuming tenor wearing an ill fitting suit who's day job is selling mobile phones, just blew me right out of my chair!

The video is of him singing Nessun Dorma in his first appearance on 'Britain's Got Talent', which of course he won. Since then he has already sold 2 million albums and has appeared all over.

This guy gave me spine chills and tears in my eyes and is enjoyed by millions as the view counts are past 10 million for one piece. Pavarotti only got 217K views for the same piece. Enjoy.

You should have seen the performance on last nights show (10th May)

A 12 year old girl who practices at home BLEW THE SHOW AWAY!

I try to avoid the prog but as the family watch it I heard it and could not help but look. She made Charlotte Church sound 'ordinary'. The power in her voice was amazing.

Check the link below and check the look on Simon Cowells face, priceless!

The voice of an angel, exquisite! Thanks for sharing, that one brought a tear to my eye.

She really was a 'show stoppper'.
Cowell said afterwards 'I think we may have found a REAL star'.

Why is it that you guys got real talent and Americans have Clay Aikens? Oh well, 12 years old going on 32! That was just lovely Dave.

augie, you don't expect me to be able to answer that one do you?
Don't know what it is but we did supply some of the biggest bands the world has ever seen as well, suppose its in our 'gene pool'

Hehehe, some genes must have been washed overboard by the salt water while crossing 'The Pond'.

BTW, you guys ran with American blues, turned it on it's head and re-exported the product. I have to thank the Brits for that!
