The most moving/touching "talent show" performance ever?

i mean the whole thing in general, not his having a good voice.. but i mean you cant even understand it so how does it give you goosebumps?

 

I'm not an opera fan myself, but some music has been known to move people. I know it sounds crazy...

 

Family Guy.

 

That is what I was looking for. A few years ago, I heard Pavarotti do it and tears started flowing.

 

Wasn't really all that moving to me. He did a pretty good job.

Hey isn't that the guy from B-52's??

 

He did a good job. I saw this the other day and was very impressed. Then I proceeded to check out Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma on Youtube. I am not an opera fan, but it was obvious to me Paul Potts is not quite on Pavarotti's level, nor ever will be. Pavarotti has a gift, born with a voice that is one in a billion. Look at the ease on Pavarotti's face, almost as if he's talking, and the power and control of his delivery. Definitely not the same. I am impressed with Paul Pott's performance but him and Pavarotti can not be said in the same sentence. Paul Potts is not the low-confidence, amateur he played it off to be.(which was half of the AWE factor) He studied in Italy with some of the best teachers, even Pavarotti himself. Look him up on Wikipedia. So he has had some exposure already. I think there is a reason why he hasn't been crowned Pavarotti's protoge or anything of that sort. He's good but not that good. I wish him the best of luck but I'm sure there are hundreds of other people out there with superior talent than him.

 

I don't know crap about opera, but that was pretty awesome. I hope that guy gets some opportunities out of this. If I saw this in a movie I would call it corney and unbelievable, but this was real, and it was great.

 

Maybe he can form a new Il Divo and tour around the world giving performances to crowds of old ladies*.

*I was forced to watch some of a performance on PBS by my wife. Corniest operatic "show" EVER.

 

I had a feeling he wasn't just some guy off the streets. Should have known better than to trust "reality" TV...

 

I love how simon's jaw hung wide open and the girl took a really deep breath and her eyes opened really wide.. that was awesome.. go dude go!

 

With that singing ability, he should be top regional mobile phone salesman in no time! Good for him.

That made me cry like a little b****.

 

Can't stand opera, don't have a clue what the man was singing, it could've been "help, there's someone with a shotgun chasing me" or "i've longed to be a fairy damsel picking at your nose whilst in flight" - it wouldn't have mattered... that was incredible. It's a rather sissy thing to say, but I had goosebumps listening to that especially since you didn't expect a voice like that coming from average joe cellphone salesman.... CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?! BEYOTCHES!

Awesome!

 

So... what? He had a ton of training before this from some big hitters in opera? Well that dulls it a bit, but still pretty incredible.

 

Im surprised that chick judge isnt the talk of this thread...she's pretty damn hot.

Dude did a great job, but I'd like to see a full mouth restoration on him...those teeth are hideous.

 

Good points, but also remember that your singing voice gets better (stronger, more dynamic, rangier) with work. Pavarotti works with his voice. This guy sells mobiles. Get him singing opera five days a week like Pavarotti, and who knows what comes out of it ...

 

Damn..... that was pretty amazing
