Paul Potts

[Snow]

I've got tickets to see Paul at the Wiltern in Los Angeles in March.

Bam! Nessun Dorma!!!

[Dr T]

That sounds great Snow. Enjoy! He really turned my interest in opera around.

[a-train]

Ah, very good. He is a singer. I was worried for a minute that the Cambodian communist had been discovered alive and was on tour. Kinda like Elvis, you know?

[Dr T]

hahaha you're great a-train :)

Since I am the one who turned you on to Paul in the first place, I think I deserve something special for making your night with Paul possible.

Seriously, if it weren't for me, you would probably be going to the Wiltern to see some mediocre soloist such as Andrea Bocelli, or Diana Krall, or even that sabre rattler Toby Keith. (I know you like those swaggering cowboy types who wear their snakeskin boots made special to scare our enemies with a cocky "I'm gonna mow your grass!")

Now I am not so uncouth as to be unaware that an invite is too presumptuous. Plus, I don't like you that much and I know the feeling is mutual, so no obligatory "would you like to join us" is necessary.

However, I have come up with exactly the item that would make my heart sing, and only you can make it happen.

For my part in making your night of magic possible, I would like a picture of you and Paul Potts together, signed by Paul, and made out to "Elphaba, of superior intellect to Snow."

Remember, if it weren't for me, you would be watching Yanni at the Wiltern.

And oh, by the way: BAM! Caruso!

[Elgama]

guess I am alone in wondering why he is so great lol (yes he has a great voice but he stands there like a good piece of pork on a meat hook) enjoy yourself Snow.

I guess I'm uncouth. I have NO idea who they are talking about.

[Alaskagain]

Well, then, Canuck, you simply have to go back to the You-Tube thread where Elphaba introduced us all:

Grab a hanky, I use one every time I see the first performance!

I would if I had speakers here at work. Besides, hanky's are for wimps.

[Alaskagain]

. . never said I wasn't a wimp. I admit it. Listen at home then, you won't regret it!

I'd been listening to a little Maria Callas but Paul Potts really got me interested. Since I heard him the first time I've been to two operas and looking forward to more.

I find it very relaxing - my wife says that for me it's a very expensive nap,

Oh come now Elph,

It's not that I don't like you - I do actually like you, it just that I am very annoyed by you (and you annoyed by me).

This I promise - if Paul Potts signs a photo for me, I'll get it to you. I suspect I won't see him up close and personal... good tickets were being hawked for $300 - 400. I settled for $38 seats which are probably towards the upper back.

I remember seeing him when he first entered the auditions for the TV competition - was it X Factor? We watch all those kind of things. I thought his voice was wonderful. Then when he won the newspapers here pulled him to shreds and one even said that he was mentally disabled. It's brilliant that he is doing so well now. He really deserves it to be able to bring so much pleasure to people through his singing.

Just thought I'd answer your question Willow... it wasn't X Factor but Britain's Got Talent. :)

(Although his very first appearance was on Barrymore's My Kind of Music in 1999) :)
