Last bit on tonight's NBC Nightly News. Britain's Got Talent - sort of like AI over here. Simon Cowell is even one of the celebrity guests. A 36 year old man comes out to sing opera.

And THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k08yxu57NA) is what comes next. Like a couple of the judges, I was in tears at the end.

He did go on to win the competition - will be on The Today Show this Thursday, and will be singing for the Queen.

That was absolutely breathtaking. I got goosebumps. He can sing for me ANY DAY :) Good job to him, it's nice that he's a normal guy with a normal job and this extraordinary talent.

I saw this on t.v. a few days ago. I thought the guy was lipsyncing. I didn't know it was for real. That's pretty cool. He's got a great voice.

That is terrific! I wonder if he'll be singing in any of the opera houses and maybe make it over to San Francisco's Opera house. He's wonderful
