Like Paul Potts, last year's Britian's Got Talent winner, Andrew Johnston sings opera. But he's only 13 years old. Also like Paul, he's been bullied at school. His voice is truly amazing. I can't help but wonder, though, what it will sound like when he matures. For the moment, though, it's magical. Here's an article, with embedded links to his performance on the show a couple of nights ago.

Andrew Johnston Article and Video

OMG, that made me cry. So beautiful!!

I saw this on another site a couple of days ago and I've been back to watch it numerous times. It is so moving and when he hit that high note I was smiling and crying at the same time. The look on Amanda's and Simon's faces are priceless. (Simon had the same look when he heard Paul Potts - I wonder if it's his "I'm going to sign you" face.)

I felt so bad for the poor fellow. I don't understand why so many kids (and adults) feel such a need to belittle others because they have different interests. I'd have given anything to be at his school the first day he went back after that episode aired.

:bawl: Beautiful.

I've been following that show on youtube. Andrew was fantastic! I noticed that Simon is generally alot nicer and softer on that show. Piers Morgan is the cranky one.

I saw Paul Potts in concert. He was an British opera version of Elliott, so humble and appreciative of the fans, so genuine. Like Elliott, Paul was just a regular guy with a gift who was introduced to the world on a Simon Cowell show.

I guess it all goes back to Renaldo Lapuz's praise of Simon. Without Simon's shows, we wouldn't have Elliott or Paul or Andrew .

America's Got Talent comes back in June.

Question! When is this show going on? Is Simon judging AI and this show at the same time? I feel so "out of the loop" on this one. ARGH!

Saw his video on Ellen yesterday. That boy made me cry!

Another question, What is Andrew going to do if his voice "changes"? :dunno:
