PAUL POTTS HAS WON - HE DESERVED TO!

EARLIER PERFORMANCES AND COMMENTS HERE.

A CORNER READER EXPLAINED THAT IT WANS'T JUST THE VOICE, BUT THE SINGER:

His expression before he begins to sing [HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE ON THE SHOW - HIS AUDITION] is that of a man resigned to disappointment. Even when he smiles, his eyes convey a profound sadness. He has been a nobody all his life. He, and perhaps only he, knows he has greatness inside of him, but he is obviously a humble man, massively insecure, afraid of rejection, unsure of himself outside the cocoon of anonymity. But you get the feeling he also knows that this may be the one chance he gets to escape the cocoon, and as he begins to sing, you can see him fighting down his fear.

I think that is the wellspring of the emotion that pervades his performance. He is fighting against a life of obscurity. By the song’s end, what was an average Joe has stepped up, beaten back his fear, and broken through. In those few seconds, he put the void behind him, and his life will probably be changed forever because he called up the courage at that moment to show what he was really made of. We saw greatness, long denied, finally being born.

I HOPE HE CONTINUES TO WELL AT WHAT HE LOVES. WITH OR WITHOUT NEW TEETH.
