I agree, why does Paul Potts stir the emotions? What is it?

I think it's the "everyman" of his appearance and persona. He comes on stage with little confidence, not handsome, not stylishly dressed, and then worse, nervously attempts a smile, exposing those terrible teeth. But then he begins to sing and that golden voice brings out the redeeming human compassion of pulling for the "underdog." Everyone wants him to succeed because we can imagine ourselves, with all our individual shortcomings, being on that same stage, in whatever form or endeavor. I guess it plays on each one's emotions differently, but that's how it strikes me.
