A little lump of coal becomes a diamond
Paul Potts, a 36 year old mobile phone salesman struggling to support himself and his wife with the 1,50 pound commission per sold phone, dreams of being a professional opera singer. A mobile phone salesman singing opera? Yes, an opera singer! He signed up for Britain's Got Talent on ITV and ended up winning the entire contest racking up 100,000 pounds, a performance for the Queen and other members of the Royal family and a million pound record deal with Simon Cowell. His album actually has entered the top 20 on Amazon worldwide, and it hasn't even been released yet (pre-release orders). Watch the youtube video of his first performance on BGT to see the reactions of the judges and audience (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k08yxu57NA). What an amazing story...

Heya. Interesting blog especially for someone who studied Social Science in college.
I'll be back. ;)
Thanks! Good to know you like it! I'm pretty new at this blogging, but I'll try to keep the flow of new posts at a reasonably constant level ;)
