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.

He is wearing his emotions and life on his sleeve and it comes through in his voice. Pavarotti is much more technically correct but emotionless. With Paul you just can't help but feel it and hope for him. His first performance he looked like he was going to cry and was looking forward to yet another failure in his life. You could see it and feel it. I actually teared up on that one as I was so excited to see him succeed regardless of his level of technical perfection. IMO anyways.
