He definitely was the underdog, and I had thought with people being as judgmental as they are when it comes to looks and such that he didn't stand a chance.

I was elated that he won... he is so amazingly talented.

It was absolutely amazing! My bf just showed me this video this afternoon and I get goose bumps everytime I watch the video! So glad he won

This is an inspiring story, something that we can all relate to. I doubt my abilities sometimes but Paul Potts has shown us to take that chance.

thanks. lam mo kinikilabutan pa rin ako every time I watch it. today nga lang, I must have seen it more than ten times pero pareho pa rin ang effect as the first time I saw it.

Amanda (one of the judges) was right. He was a piece of coal that turned into a diamond!

joanjoyce:

you should watch his other videos on YouTube including the one when he won. simple lang iyak ko dito, tumulo lng luha. baka naman expect mo umatungal ako? LOL

I've seen this vid before and I was very surprised when I saw it! Good on him for catching a break!

Also, how weird to see Simon and that other guy on the same panel. They are BOTH harsh... I'm amazed ANYONE stayed around long enough for them to have a show.

That was absolutely amazing. He deserves much success.

lol I just realised I didn't reply to Jillian's comment - but you see in Britain people have tougher skin and can take criticism so much better than in North America. So it's ok to have two harsh judges :P

jillian:

Can anyone be as harsh as Simon? I saw the other guy judging in "America's Got Talent" too. But I haven't paid that much attention to him.

I have gone to his website and found out that he has performed around the world since winning that completion. He deserves every bit of it.

I see that Amanda is much better than Paula. She speaks with more sense than the often suspected drunk AI judge.

That was fantastic - there was a little girl on this same show (different season) that was really good and I thought ended up winning her season as well. Anyway, great find - it made my day.

napanood ko yan from another blog few months ago...magaling nga sya, yung judge na girl nga e umiiyak pa and of course pati si Simon aminin nya maluha luha din ang mata nya

canucklehead:

yup, I found her video on YouTube when I was searching for this one. she's adorable. it's a pity she had to compete the same season as Paul Potts. otherwise, she would have won.

galing nga ano? and in all the years I have watched Simon on Idol, this is the first time I saw him applaud an audition performance!
