When Ordinary Becomes Extraordinary

Don't you just love good stories? I do. Stories about the underdog rising up in victory. A story about a guy that has little confidence but an Extraordinary hidden gift. In Britain, there is a show called Britains Got Talent from the creators of American Idol. A show where just everyday people attempt to show off their talent, or most of the time what they think is talent. The video below is about a guy named Paul Potts. He was an ordinary guy with no confidence that worked at a cell phone store. After some encouragement, he decided to go onto Britains Got Talent to sing opera of all things. Paul went on to win the contest and has since released an album. Over 37 million people has watched this video on You Tube. So, maybe you have already watched it. I find it amazing every time I see it. The look on the judges faces when he says he is there is sing opera is funny. The reaction on peoples faces and the cheers when they hear the beauty of his singing is awesome. Some people are shocked, some are crying, but everyone is on their feet cheering before the end. It is just awesome when ordinary becomes extraordinary.
