24,900 views
He was an unlikely opera singer: Paul Potts was a cell phone salesman in South Wales who confessed that summoning self-confidence was "always difficult." But his dream was to one day become an opera singer, and with this is persevered. "My dream is to spend my life doing what I was born to do," Paul said simply. Watch him defy expectations on a June 2007 episode of "Britain's Got Talent" --and in the course earn a standing ovation from an audience of over two thousand.

No one can watch this and not end up with tears in their eyes.....Begin with your heart breaking because you somehow do not feel that this lovely man can deliver, and you cringe, anticipating his failure. You then listen, and as it ends, you find yourself in sweet tears.....and remember that your heart may also break when you learn how we human beings always tend to pre-judge.
It is our lesson in shame.
Bless you, Paul, and may you find a life following your passion and keep reminding all of us to be gentle....

Paul's beautiful voice touched me deeply. Someone else said it earlier, but, it was like listening to an angel.
I wish Paul success in following his dream. I hope that the world can be touched by Paul and his voice.
