http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDB9zwlXrB8 I felt tears well up in this video, when the first judge summarized what the show is all about... people just like Paul. ^_^ (and Marcelo de Ramos, apparently).


PS: I think I like opera now. ;)

PPS: And this guy just cells sell phones!? Check out the same song, done by someone else -- I think I prefer Paul's version :o

omg without musical accompanied, check out 6 year old Connie Talbot: :o

I went and watched a bunch more after finding the fist one... The girl that sings over the rainbow, and the other that singes a song from My Fair Lady are the other ones I thought stood out.

And when you don't have innate talent, exercise your ability to impersonate celebrities and/or pop culture characters!
