Was very intrigued to see the you tube clip of Paul Potts, and I agree, he has a great voice, and that song Nesun Dorma, is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.......
And its very intersting, and I wonder if there is any coincidence, that the bloke who won our Australian Idol, last year, also sang the same song, on the second last night of competition, and subsequently won the title of Australian Idol, the following week....He too, was just a bloke working in a factory, and he sang a variety of songs thru the competion...Roy Orbison's Crying.....Chris Isaac's Wicked Games....and the best love song of all...Unchained Melody.....as well as many others that he did full justice to, and then to finish it off with an opera song like Nesun Dorma....well there was no way he could lose...(and, not meaning to take anything away from Paul Potts, I think our bloke was better)....
But, we cant take all the credit, Damien Leith is an Irishman, living in Australia, married to an Australian, and now an Australian citizen.
I have been fortunate enough to go see him in live concert since he won Idol, and once again, was in awe of his talent.
His name is DAMIEN LEITH........remember it....look it up on youtube if you are interested......DAMIEN LEITH.......
