Paul Potts singing Opera on UK Idol

I don't watch American Idol for the simple reason that I hate seeing public train wrecks. I often feel bad for them and it's generally uncomfortable, probably because I can relate so well (especially after my catastrophically disastrous VP status call this morning but that's a topic for a different post).

The piece he sings is Nessun Dorma from Turandot, music by Giacomo Puccini and libretto by Renato Simoni.

[EDIT]:
And Even Flow... (I love the Heathen Frog line)
