I have to add a comment to the ones below.

Please read the notes below and turn your speakers up and enjoy this performance. This is opera and it is a brief visit to a place that moves me beyond words. It also gives a hint of what can be done when passion overcomes fear. ...Olin

Comments that came with the forward............

Just goes to show you never know what lies beneath the surface!   Even okay to show to kids!  It might reach that quiet kid who never has confidence in themselves.

Watch this...! It will blow you away: be prepared to turn your speakers up. My Goosebumps had Goosebumps after viewing this !   I went straight to the Itunes store and bought this song performed by Paul Potts and Luciano Pavarotti. Enjoy

This is a story about a guy, a guy like most of us, common, questioning his existences, measuring himself to others, never believing in his abilities or his worth.

Then one day, his passion outgrew his fears as he stepped onto a stage, a stage that took him to a place beyond his self imposed prison.

Watch the faces of the judges as this guy walks out on the stage. You can almost see what they’re thinking as they pre-judge this guy based on his looks and the fact that he’s a cell phone salesman.  

Maybe this guy stopped believing in what people told him for so many years and ultimately started listening to his passion.

I saw this when it happened and I was blown away.  I could not believe the look on Simon's face when this man started to sing.  He brought tears to my eyes and it was just one of those moments. He has a cd out now and I saw it advertised a few nights ago. It is so worth it to watch again. I was so heartbroken when Luciano Parvarotti passed away. I love opera and he was my favorite.

Thanks sweety!!!

Love to ya,
Tim
