Watch the faces of the judges as this fellow walks on the stage. Based on his looks and the fact that he is a cell phone salesman, they initially misjudge him. Sometimes you have to stop believing what everyone is telling you and start listening to your passion.

An even more celebrated story is that of Russell Watson who came from even humbler beginnings and became known as the Voice. He too got his big break in show business when he sang Nessum Dorma in front of the owner of Manchester United. Nessum Dorma is one of the 2-3 most beautiful opera solos. Russell Watson has had some serious medical problems in the last couple years which are apparently life threatening but his classical album was the fastest selling classical album in UK history and reached #5 on the pop charts. I highly recommend it even though I am not a fan of classiical music. He mixes in some pop with opera classics including a cover of a Freddie Mercury song. It will be interesting to see if Paul Potts can emulate Russell Watson.jerry
