What's your hidden potential?? (You HAVE TO SEE THIS!!)

An unknown cell phone salesman in England competes on England's version of American Idol. Potts turned up on ITV's "Britain's Got Talent" last year, a show which allowed people to basically perform whatever talent act they'd like and be judged 'Idol' style by three panelists including American Idol's Simon Cowell.

After a series of uninteresting acts that irked the judges and audience, the average looking, down on his luck guy turned up and revealed he planned to sing opera - specifically Nessun Dorma from Turandot which has been made famous by the late Luciano Pavarotti's renditions of it over the years.

The performance and reactions can be viewed below and were nothing short of extraordinary: Watch below



Potts went on to quickly record a debut album, "One Chance," which sold 3 million copies. He's also headlining 65 concert dates in 13 countries.

Now, Relevant Entertainment acquired life rights from Potts and began planning a "Billy Elliot" style uplifting comedy. Paramount execs needed to only watch YouTube clips of Potts' performances to hop onboard the project.

Very inspiring....
