But my secret is hidden within me, my name no one shall know." Those are the words, roughly translated, from the famous Puccini aria "Nessun Dorma." You've probably heard Luciano Pavarotti sing it once or twice, and the song has made its way into many films. But it has never had so much meaning as it did on a stage in Great Britain, being sung by a mobile phone salesman named Paul Potts. Potts is an average-looking bloke whose teeth aren't straight, and he admits to having battled self-confidence issues his whole life. Still, he decided to audition for a television show called "Britain's Got Talent." Beat box artists, break dancers and jugglers combined with a few people trying to be pop stars. On his first night, Potts took to the stage and sang that famous aria from "Turandot," after telling judge Simon Cowell that he felt he needed to pursue his first love, opera. You could hear the snickers from the crowd, see Simon's telltale eye roll, and practically feel the ... sweat rolling down Potts' brow. But then he sang. From the first note floating from his snaggle-toothed beak, it was clear there was no competition for him in that room.The crowd gave him a standing ovation in what is now one of the Internet's most popular viral videos. It has been viewed on YouTube alone more than 2.4 million times. What's the reason for this Pottsmania? It's something my high school English teacher called "the triumph of the human spirit." Watch the video, seriously.
