Paul's story has got to be the best thing I have ever seen on YouTube or even heard of anywhere in a long time. I am glad we got to hear the entire aria in his final performance. I think I will always automatically compare other opera singers to him from now on, now that I am pretty familiar with his voice. I've been a fan of another of Puccini's operas, La Boheme. I hope he does that one some day or at least some of the arias from that one on his CD. I hope they will put the CD on Rhapsody or ITunes too. Thanks for posting this great find, CK. Stan

It is interesting to see how remarkably different the disciplines in singing are. Here is an Australian Idol talent winner, Damien Leith, singing Nessun Dorma in a popular style. Even though he has a great voice, what a difference between the two versions. youtube.com Here is another more in line with his genre: youtube.com

There is a very strange coincidence in this year's Britain's Got Talent contest: In any other year, Connie Talbot, that cute-as-a-button 6 year old with the voice of gold, would have won hands down. She just happened to be running against Paul Potts this year and lost to him. No shame, though. The coincidence is that her song, Over the Rainbow, was sung in The Wizard of Oz. That 1939 film was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Picture. IMO, it too could have won had it not been in the running against Gone With The Wind that year! However, the song, Over The Rainbow did win it one of its awards. Connie has a great career ahead of her too, I am sure. Stan
