Second Cup Cafe: Paul Potts

If you're looking for a feel-good story for the holidays, we've got one for you in our Second Cup Cafe. British-born opera singer Paul Potts was selling cell phones and struggling to make ends meet when he decided to apply for a spot on the popular U.K. reality show, "Britain's Got Talent."

He blew away the judges, including Simon Cowell, with his very first performance and went on to win the competition. He's been on quite a ride since, and recently released his first album, titled "One Chance."

"I keep waiting for someone to pinch me and say 'Wake up, Paul, it's time for work - you're late again.' I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster - a white knuckle ride into the unknown. And I don't want to get off!" Potts writes on his Web site.

During his visit to The Saturday Early Show, Potts performed Christmas favorites "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria."

Wow!! Paul Potts is the best male singer I''ve ever heard! A male version of Celine Dionne!! He is certainly the best singer who has ever appeared on the Second Cup cafe. I got goosebumps just listening to him. His voice is breath taking. Thank you for introducing him to us, your Saturday Early Show audience.
