At our of our assembly the other day I made our freshman and sophs watch this video.It's inspirational and makes you think about pre-judging people by the way they look...
I'll paste the site here..not sure if it will work...if not...someone else with more computer savvy please do it..
you can go to youtube.com and type in Paul Potts ..first audition..then watch it..pretty powerful

Paul Potts is a 36 yrs old cellphone salesman in England...He auditioned for " Britains Got Talent"..it's our American Idol... Simon is one of the judges...Paul has bad teeth,a cheap suit,and looks like he has no talent..."you can see the skepticism and sarcasm on the judges faces" before he performs...but in about 20 to 30 seconds..watch what happens..watch Simon and the other judges...then the audience...
The lesson is..sometimes we pre-judge people...what Paul does is pretty powerful...
just a note...Paul wins the " Britains got talent...got his teeth fixed and now has a professional contract..watch and enjoy...

It couldn't paste it..can someone do it for me or just go to..youtube.com and type in Paul Potts..
1st audition...

yep, quite a voice! I've seen him before, but I didn't know he won that whole competition. Great idea to show that video like you did, box. I'll have to use that little object lesson on my kids tomorrow.

Amanda Holden




Amanda HoldenAmanda Louise Holden (born 16 February 1971 in Bishop's Waltham, Hampshire) is an English actress. She made her television debut as a contestant on the long-running ITV series, Blind Date, but was not the woman chosen by the suitor.

Amanda trained at the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. Her first television role was in the BBC soap opera EastEnders in 1994, but she is perhaps best known for playing Mia Bevan in the BAFTA Award nominated drama series Cutting It from 2002 to 2004.

She married television presenter Les Dennis in 1995, but separated from him following her affair with actor Neil Morrissey. These events made her a popular target for the British tabloid press. The couple were divorced on 18 November, 2003.

Amanda Holden has appeared in several stage musicals, and in 2004 was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance in the West End production of Thoroughly Modern Millie, but did not win. On 19 November 2004, she appeared on the BBC's Children in Need charity appeal singing Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman". On that night also, she announced her engagement to record boss Chris Hughes.

Her most recent TV appearance was in the ITV1 drama, Wild at Heart, alongside Stephen Tompkinson. The first series aired in 2006, and a second series followed in early 2007.

Amanda's other TV credits include three series of the hit comedy Kiss Me Kate alongside Caroline Quentin, three series of the ITV comedy series The Grimleys, Celeb with Harry Enfield, the critically acclaimed BBC series Hearts and Bones alongside Damien Lewis, the comedy series Mad About Alice with Jamie Theakston, and a Boxing Day special Marple alongside Geraldine McEwan and John Hannah. She also co-starred with Bill Nighy and Sir Tom Courtenay in Ready When You Are, Mr McGill, Jack Rosenthal's classic comedy drama.

On 21 January 2006, she gave birth to her first child, Alexa Louise Florence Hughes, by Caesarean section.

I first saw the clip when Brit Hume closed his news show on Fox a few months ago with that clip, I still have it Tivoed and watch 2-3 times a week it is so inspirational.

My wife then bought his first dvd called Paul Potts, One Chance.

And I think Dr is right, it says Simco Limited exculsively licensed to Sony BMG Entertainment.

What a great story.
