Stepping out of your comfort zone: Paul Potts

I chanced upon this video of the reality tv show, Britain’s Got Talent (1st audition Show).

One of the contestants was Paul Potts, a 36 year old Mobile phone Salesman from Port Talbot. This guy is truly amazing! I was at my losing end myself and about to give up forever, when his video came into my full view, and I can say that truly, I am also stepping out of my comfort zone!

Read on and check out the video for yourself!

And he might have given up forever, had it not been for Britain’s Got Talent – the talent show for today’s generation, created by Simon Cowell and co-produced by his Entertainment company Syco TV, which last week was celebrating a double whammy. In a first for a reality TV format, the Got Talent shows on both sides of the Atlantic – Britain and America – were at number one, with more than 13 million viewers tuning in to see Paul win the final of the British version and the same figure welcoming back a second season of America’s Got Talent in the States. (The format has now been commissioned worldwide and will be shown in 40 countries by the end of the year!)

Though it’s fair to say that when Paul strolled awkwardly – almost apologetically – onto the Cardiff stage for his first Britain’s Got Talent audition a week before that final, in his now infamous £35 Tesco suit, and announced to Simon and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan that he was going to sing opera, they never thought for one minute they were looking at their winner. Until he opened his mouth and started to sing.

It was, as Simon has said since, simply magical. “Incredible”, agreed Piers. And Amanda, who was moved to tears, said his voice had left her covered in goosebumps. “We were not expecting that,” admitted Simon. – from http://www.paulpottsuk.com/biography
