Okay, look, I know that I like opera and so you guys think my musical taste perverse. But it's only four minutes out of your life...just trust me on this, and watch a shy and nervous mobile phone salesman from Wales walk onto the stage of the British version of American Idol, and change his life.

I'm warning you that I think the odds are bloody good that you'll catch your tear ducts starting to activate, even if you're a big tough man.
