    Same kind of reaction happened for that guy who sang Nessun Dorma a while back.

    Got the same kinda reaction out of the judges & crowd after they were all set to cringe all through the perfomance.

    Ended up being shocked & giving him a standing O.

    Yeah Paul Potts. I remember that one. He was definately awesome.

    My favorite one was on America's Got Talent, where the crowd was simply rowdy- mob like and were just booing for the heck of it, I guess from the previous bad performances. IIRC, They didn't even shut up they were booing before he even got on stage. It didn't phase him as he just continued and started to sing, they continued to boo. I believe it was "You Raise Me Up" or something like that. Then the crowd realized that he was actually really good, and the boos turned to applause. It was pretty amazing to see how he was able to get the crowd's mindset changed.

    I'll see if I can find that...

    I guess it does pay off if you sing to your cats enough.
