I am just dead, Mr. Ball.
That was an unbelievable, unforgettable performance.
Susan Boyle's grandson.
Because what you do is not what we expect.
Incredible.
Thank you.
What's your name?
My name's Tom Ball.
Tom Ball?
Tom Ball, yeah.
Oh, Tom Ball.
Yeah, Thomas Ball, Tom Ball. Yeah, yeah.
Mr. Tom Ball.
And where are you from?
I'm from West Sussex, near Brighton.
Oh, great. How old are you?
I'm 23.
Okay.
Oh, he's a baby.
You look very happy, Tom.
I'm very excited.
Are you?
I'm really excited, yeah.
Okay, who are you here with?
I'm here with my fiancé and my dad.
Yeah.
Hello.
I can see the resemblance.
Yeah.
Okay, and what do you do for a living, Tom?
I'm a secondary school teacher.
Are you?
I love it.
Yeah?
I absolutely love it.
The kids don't know I'm here, either.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I wanted it to be a surprise.
God, what if it goes badly?
If it goes badly, then it goes badly.
It would be really, really bad.
The children that you teach, do they know that you have this particular talent?
Most don't.
I think I've only sung to like one of my classes.
Oh, so you're a singer?
Singing.
Oh, yeah, singer.
Yeah, I sing.
Okay.
Is there one artist out there who you've gone,
I could be as big as him with the right opportunity?
I'm compared to Michael Ball quite a lot,
and the last name helps with it as well.
I get it.
Anyway, good luck.
Thank you.
Because the writing's on the wall.
I'm suffocating.
Good luck, Tom.
Go to the top of the class, Tom Ball.
Well done, Tom.
Wow.
Who knew what a powerhouse you were?
Thank you.
That was an exceptional audition.
I mean, one of the best singers we've had in the last 16 years.
Thank you so much.
I really felt moved by that vocal and that performance.
It was really, really special.
Your lovely character, personalities, sweetness, humility,
all of that mixed together just made for the perfect audition.
Thank you so much.
And you know what, Tom?
There's lots and lots and lots of good singers out there.
I always believe your personality plays a huge part
in these auditions as well.
There's something very likeable about you.
Thank you.
I don't think there's a single person in this room
who wanted you to fail.
I'm so happy you came.
I'm so happy.
Right, David.
You never forget a good teacher.
How lucky your kids are to have you teaching them
because you seem like such a lovely person.
You've got this exceptional talent.
Thank you.
So, Tom, let me give you your first yes.
Thank you.
It's a pleasure to give you a yes.
I think you've got about 4,000 yeses.
Come on, Tom.
Thank you.
Come on.
You wouldn't know me at all today
From the fading light I fly
Like a phoenix
Ashes seeking retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I'm reborn
You shoot me down but
You said you were warned
Once I'm transformed
But you're my flame
You know, when we did the auditions
and we just really loved you on the day
and we were thinking we should have given you
like a group golden buzzer.
We were talking about that.
I've come to learn over the years
when you do these shows
is that judging a singer like yourself
it's how the singer makes you feel
during the performance.
And what it made me feel
particularly after I saw that film
is that I felt great.
I just felt great for you.
This is something you're so passionate about.
And I could see just the way you spoke
to the kids at school
that you've got a really kind heart as well.
And so I think
and I think we will be seeing you in the final.
Thought at one moment
you actually might just take off
and sort of zoom into outer space
such is the power of your voice.
And what better way
being on this stage.
There teacher, this is the best story ever.
You are fantastic.
You are an inspiration
not only to your students
but to everyone.
Competition wide open.
Congratulations.
For me, you got me in your VT again.
I was in floods of tears.
I love that you brought some of your pupils with you.
That is making me...
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed against the window pane
Nothing, half no one
Watch you
Dancing far
Of somebody else
This week and I was thinking
well, he's got the talent
if he picks the right song
he could win Britain's Got Talent
and that was free.
Oh my goodness me.
Now when I look back
it's like you're in third gear in the auditions
then you went into fourth gear in the semifinals
then you just...
Nothing, the way you were grounded
and centered in that performance
to reach that pinnacle moment at the end
was perfection.
Congratulations Tom.
Dead Mr Ball.
That was an unbelievable
unforgettable
Thanks Amanda.
Simon, what did you make of Tom?
You know what Tom?
I think so far you've been
really, really, really, really good
and I thought coming into the final
what a fantastic line-up we've got tonight.
I'm really happy
and I really like everyone.
Exactly.
Hang on a moment.
And then I was thinking
it's a cute story isn't it?
A singer with a good voice.
Tonight you were a singer
sorry, a teacher
like, judges get their words wrong as well.
You were a teacher
with an amazing voice.
That kind of musical?
No, it doesn't matter.
Talent is talent
and I really now am seeing your lane
which is West End
leading part
you're interesting
you're talented
you're a nice person
I mean, amazing.
Hello Simon.
Nice to see you again.
Tom, introduce yourself
to Heidi and Howie
and everyone else here please.
My name's Tom Ball
I'm 24 years old
I'm a secondary school teacher
I went on Britain's Got Talent
I had a most amazing time
thank you very much.
A lot of people thought Tom was going to win
and he didn't.
It's my first time in LA
I can win this one.
Is it your first time in America?
First time in America, yeah.
I haven't actually seen any of the sights yet
Tomorrow, my plan is to go see the Hollywood sign
go see the Hollywood Walk of Fame
see your name there, Simon.
My name's also on there.
Well, I'll make sure I see it.
Yours is on the side street.
I'll find it.
Good luck.
Thank you so much.
I hope he does well.
Oh, he's nervous now.
He seems lovable.
Did they love him?
What do you think?
UK, yes.
Cause a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
Talking without speaking
People hearing with this never-shed
Of the sun
Splashed out in
And said the words
Whispered
The sound
Of silence
I'm actually angry about something.
What is it?
I wish this was the first time I'd ever heard Tom in a weird way.
Susan Boyle's grandson.
Because what you do is not what we expect.
For me, this is the best performance I've seen all series.
In so many ways.
You're only 24 years old and Simon and Garfunkel are a lot older than that.
But you do it so right.
It really was...
Thank you.
It was outstanding.
It was larger than life.
I mean, you have all the...
You can hit all the notes.
You have the pipes for it.
I thought it was amazing.
Thank you.
Tom, this is the song...
If you'd have done this, I believe you would have won the show that year.
Because that was incredible.
Thank you.
Sensational.
I couldn't look you in the eye
I wish I was special
You're so very special
But I'm a creep
I'm a...
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
She's running out
The door
She, she run
Cause I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
Cause I'm a creep
I don't belong here
Oh, Tom, you know, everything about this has just been amazing
because it was one of those performances which shouldn't work but did work
and it was really powerful and moving.
I have to tell you.
Boy, oh boy, did you deserve to be here.
I mean, seriously, you just turned it up, didn't you?
Yes.
Oh, everything he said and you surprised.
You know, we gave you a golden buzzer as a group.
We said, oh, this guy's worthy of the finals.
I think you rose up nine levels.
You brought the audience to their feet twice.
You're really amazing.
Heidi.
I mean, your ability to express your emotions
and what you're feeling while you're singing
is so powerful and so incredible
and it must be because I see that ring on your finger.
At a performance, you couldn't have done it better.
Thank you so much.
Well, good luck tonight, Tom.
There's chance for us
There's no place for us
What are these things that build our dreams
Yet slip away from us
Who wants to live forever
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us
Voices of hope, Jim.
Had a choir of 50 singing with you.
How did that feel?
Absolutely phenomenal.
They are fantastic.
Good evening.
Hello, good evening.
My name is Tom Bull.
I'm from England.
I'm a school teacher
who's always had a dream of standing on stage and singing.
In 2022, I was given the opportunity on Britain's Got Talent
and I've got to say it's an incredible honor and privilege
to be here in Spain to sing to you this evening
amongst some incredible talent.
Thank you.
Why did you apply to Got Talent All Stars?
Because I honestly believe anything is possible.
If I can inspire people who have a dream to follow their dream,
that would be amazing.
Come on, Tom.
When you were here before
I look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special
But I'm a creep
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
She's running
The door
She's running
She runs, runs, runs
I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
Cause I'm
I don't belong here
What's the act, Patrick?
I'm a gospel choir.
Just you?
Yes, I'm a choir.
Did you eat them?
Where's the rest of them?
All my friends were allowed to play
and every Saturday morning at 8am
they would come outside my house
and they'd be like,
I'd be standing next to my dad
inside the house and he would say
go downstairs and tell them
you are not here.
Hey y'all, it's Miley Cyrus.
What's up?
What, dad?
No, I'm not going to clean my room right now.
Want me to clean out your bank account?
I'm slightly nervous today because
as I was setting up the keyboard
I noticed that David's got the same
tie as my ex-boyfriend
and David was actually the name
of my ex-boyfriend.
No, not my ex-boyfriend.
My next.
Just trying to connect, you know.
Hey.
Yeah.
My auntie's looking for a boyfriend.
It's just you right up.
I think she would want you to be it.
Okay, thank you very much.
Before we start, just a little warning.
I do talk quite quickly.
So if at any point you reckon
I'm talking too quick,
all you've got to do,
think a little bit faster.
Hello David.
Are you having a nice time
in this generic town or city?
Yes, thank you.
Good.
