Today's Musical Guest: Paul Potts

In an effort to prove that Mr. Heavyfoot isn't all about Boom Goes the Dynamite, Athletic Communications, Baby Kurtt or videos of children getting hurt/swearing/getting really hurt, we give you the above video from the reality television show Britain's Got Talent. Now we're not necessarily big fans of reality TV, but we know a good little heartwarming story when we see one, even if it does involve a chubby guy with really bad teeth (par for the course in England) singing opera.

Here's the background on the video from buddytv.com: "This was Paul Potts initial audition, but he actually went on to the finals and won the entire competition earlier this week. The voting wasn't even close; Paul won in a landslide....Adding to the legend, Paul Potts is an admittedly nervous man, lacks self-confidence, and was unsure if he would even show up for the auditions on that fateful day. He was over 30,000 pounds in debt prior to appearing on the show and didn't know if he'd ever sing opera again. Paul's luck has turned, however, and likely for good. The grand prize for winning Britain's Got Talent is 100,000 pounds, and not only does Paul receive the massive payday, but Simon Cowell immediately signed Potts to a recording contract on Simon's very own label."
