1) one of the things that differentiates conservatives from libs is our ability to think logically rather than with our emotions

I finally have to step in here. Enjoyment of something that we just witnessed is not liberal or conservative. Paul Potts is not about government or governance or man’s right to live in liberty. If you are not experiencing emotion while listening to him sing, while making love, while watching your daughter get married, or while hearing Oh Holy Night in church at Christmas, change your screen name to Mr. Spock. Bring lib v conservative into this thread is just silly. And, it is not logical.

Now you are legislating emotion Doug, just because Potts’ performance gives you goosebumps but doesn’t do the same for others doesn’t mean they are unemotional, it just means they have different triggers.

I, for one, was nonplussed by his performance, yet I still get goosebumps when I watch little(then)11 year old Bianca Ryan’s performance last year on the American version of the show. The two performances were very similar in that they were both totally unexpected and got the audience on their feet.

Ironically, part of Potts’ “charm” is that he has absolutely no charisma. How’s that for a Dichotomy?
