Pott's got talent, apparently

Opera-singing phone salesman Paul Potts has won the first series of Britain's Got Talent, beating Connie Talbot to a £100,000 prize and a record deal with Simon Cowell.

In case you're interested in these things, an opera-singing phone salesman called Paul Potts won the very first series of Simon Cowell's 'Britain's Got Talent' show on Sunday night, though if you are interested in these things I suspect you'd already know that. Potts beat six year old singing favourite Connie Talbot to win the £100,000 prize, a Royal Variety performance spot and a record deal with Cowell. CMU Caro says he deserved to win, but that Cowell should get him some serious voice training before recording the debut album. And obviously Cowell always consults Caro on these things, so that's all sorted.
