Just in case anyone's managed to miss it so far: Britain's Got Talent (Brits might recognise Simon Cowell in the jury), mobile phone salesman, opera.

I've played Nessun Dorma on the flute, and I can imagine how it feels to get those tricky parts to sound wonderful. This is why I should pay more attention to the media. Thanks for posting. Yay for the Welsh!

I also love everyone's musical icons in these comments.
