“I am somebody; I’m Paul Potts.”
I saw a snip of this on a news program, and then found the video on YouTube. When I was in High School, I had dreams of entering the annual talent show and doing what this man does.
The lady judge’s reaction at 1:57 - 2:00 just says it all.
And this was his second performance, at some point further in the competition:
“After that first audition, I realized I am somebody; I’m Paul Potts.”

Gosh, his voice is amazing! I broke out all in goose flesh just listening to him.
Thank you for this, it was gorgeous.
Now, what I want to know is, do you sing? ‘Cause if so, I’m gonna want to hear you in November when we go a fibre festivaling.
