This is a clip from a British TV talent show (With Simon from American Idol).  Watch what happens when this little salesman comes on stage and does his thing. Just click on the link below. Turn your computer up and enjoy.

How cool! You could see how nervous he was, he was near tears. I don't think I've ever heard Simon compliment someone from the onset (although I don't watch American Idol). It's awesome to see someone realize their dream that way.

I ranked him right up there with Pavarotti.  I don't like opera but I do like him and one other guy I can't think of his name at the moment though.

He does have a sweet voice. I wouldn't call myself a "fan" either, but I'd love to see one and I enjoy listening to some of the more popular ones.

He is awesome. I think if he hadn't won, it would've been total pandemonium. It made me cry too. It's nice when a kind of average Joe wins things like this. He has real talent. These days people judge everything on looks.I think thats sad. He's beautiful on the inside.  :smile:

Yes, he is beautiful on the inside.  Did you notice how humble he was?

Yes, he is very humble. I think he's kind of bashful too. I'm so glad he won.  :yes:

Me too.  Can you imagine the people he knew who had never heard him who watched the show thinking he was going to make an @$$ of himself and the surprise they got?  Simon just about fell off of his chair I do believe 'cause you can tell by the look on his face before it started he was thinking the guy was gonna be a joke.

I had to watch it again!  I loved it that the girl judge did one of those big exhales so that she didn't start to cry!  She was moved too!  God bless his dorky little heart!  :biggrin:

Sure would be interesting to know if he ended up performing or not.

He really did a fantastic job on that piece.  :yes:
