    Agree, but she has a great future if she keeps up singing like that!!

    LOL!! Looking at the female judge while he was singing, I thought she
    was going to ask him to impregnate her!!

    Oh, BTW, the Queen is *not* fat!!!

    Really? I thought she was headed for a Botox blowout.

    It's disheartening to see that other nations are watching the same kind
    of [censored] that American TV audiences are subjected to night after night. I
    had no reason to, but I figured that hope for us still lay out there
    somewhere.

    The concept may be '[censored]', but seeing undiscovered talent such as above
    certainly makes it worthwhile.

    The only reason I even know about it was because it was reported in my
    online newspaper.

    When it comes to Free TV, no chance, unfortunately.

    I think Paul Potts' life has just turned a *huge* corner.

    I watched it on youtube a couple nights ago
    (www.youtube.com/watch?v=exyJ2CSfrHo). My comment at the time was that he's
    got an *incredible* talent. Yet as clearly talented as he is, the judges'
    vote went to Damon Scott (www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqRd_4wY8hs) in that
    particular competition. Damon's prettier. Paul wouldn't stand a chance on
    "American Idol" because of his looks.

    Both Damon and Paul are in the semi-finals of the show; their competition is
    Bessie Cursons (www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZmi8QxmlOA; she won the popular
    vote) and Kombat Breakers (www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-B6gHuovS8; they won the
    judges' vote).

    I do hope Paul wins it. It'd be like a happier ending to another song:

    Paul just needs some dental work. Fortunately in UK we care about talent
    rather than pretty!

    (A monkey act?) Lordy, "their competition" were a bunch of
    screamers! I got thru about 2 seconds. Thanks all for sending Nessum

    HB ran those same links over on tx.guns. ;-)

    That Tenor was indeed amazing and the little girl has some real
    potential with a little more voice coaching.

    Sweet!

    Don't like Opera huh?

    Paul's tenor easily rivals Pavarotti and he's one of the most famous in
    the world.... and I think Paul has better tone control.

    Pavarotti tends to sing a bit sharp when he hits the upper registers,
    but only someone with perfect pitch is going to notice it. He has a
    helluva nice octave range tho'

    I used to sing. Did not decide to pursue it as a career but my ears
    still work fine. ;-)

    Oh, and I like Opera.

    Interestingly enough, Tenors are always more popular than Baritones. ;-)

    I don't watch [censored] on TV here in America, so I am not subjected to it
    night after night. I pick out what I want to watch and record it; no,
    it's not "Little House on the Prairie." :-))

    I like/love Opera, too (that's not spelled, Opra, either).

    Ahh I haven't actually seen Damon. I only know Paul and Connie because
    someone sent me the Youtube thingy!

    Tell me about Damon please?
