    I don't know what to say.

    This is a video of Paul Potts a Welsh car phone salesman stunning the judges of "Britain's Got Talent" last week with his unlikely talent: singing opera.

    The poor man just looks so defeated and dumpy before he starts singing and you can see the judges rolling their eyes . . . but then he proves he can sing. talk about transformation from ugly duckling to swan.

    BTW he won the over all competition and proved he was no fluke

    There's no way that's real. He was lip sinking to a recording. In fact, it sounded like Luciano Pavarotti...

    Yes, Dr. O'Keefe. Reminded me of Dave Letterman before he could afford to have the gap fixed.

    This guy is pretty good,but no Pavaratti...When Pavarotti sings Nessam-Dorma, he raises the hair on the back of your neck.

    Re. "Thank God for little girls!"

    What a beautiful child, in many ways. Thank you JoCO for sharing this with us. I am going to pass it on.

    Both these videos brightened my day.

    The picture didn't hurt it either.
