Over the weekend, Edward Reid became an instant celebrity when he brought down the house on "Britain's Got Talent" -- with nursery rhymes! The crowd laughed and jeered when 35-year-old school teacher opened with "Old MacDonald." But his undulating voice won them over as he moved into "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." By the time he concluded with "If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands," every pair of hands in the room was, indeed, applauding wildly.

    I work with school children here in Canada and believe that this is the kind of thing that they should be exposed to. As well as the benefits of joy and laughter, it returns the listener to earlier and more simple times and helps preserve our precious heritage. Bravo!

    Even though the crowd initially couldn't get past the words, to see the talent and deep feeling and soul, he kept on singing from his heart. Truly inspiring

    Mr Reid, you connected with the crowd as I am sure you connect with the students. We all have something in common, wanting...."being youth-full!"

    Brilliant!!! and a courage to be laughed at! As a teacher handling professional students in their early 20s i think I should find ways of making my classes more interesting.

    It's the first time I've heard compassion in the nursery rhymes. They are quite brutal-Mr.Reid gave thought to a whole different aspect. It is almost like a spiritual. Thanks to him. I have my first grandson-4 months and I'm 68.75 :)

    If we had more people with talent such as Mr.Reid, would not this be a much better world to live in? Thank GOD for people to be able to sing as well as he does and can add wit and humor to make us all laugh and to cheer him. I applaude him and thank whoever brought him on Briton's got talent!
