My name is Matty J, I'm 27 years old, originally from the Philippines but in the last three years I've been living in Glasgow. Matty, do you have a day job, a regular job? I do, I work as a part-time waiter. So what brings you to Britain's Got Talent? Gosh, I have been waiting for this chance to finally put an end to this long thing that I've been thinking of about myself, that I will always be a singing competition loser, so... Hang on, hang on, what show? Idol, from back in the Philippines. Do you ever watch Star Wars? No, I'm too gay for it. Best answer ever. Only because, compared, we are like the Jedi Knights. Is your dream? Oh my gosh, my dream is to sing for this amount of people and to sing every day and to make music and to conquer the world. Whenever you're ready, Matty, go for it. Oh, you know when you just hope someone's really good, come on. See, I only wanted one time to see you laughing I only wanna see you laughing in that purple rain Honey, I know times are changing It's time you reach out for something new That means you too, yeah You say you wanna leave now But you can't seem to make up your mind You better close it Let me guide you to that purple, purple rain Purple rain I wanna see you laughing in that purple rain You see, yeah Wanna see you laughing in Your range is insane. What a treat. It's like when you discover a new food or a new restaurant, you're like, I need to go back, I need more. Whatever you want, I just need more of it. Oh, that was a fantastic performance. But I can see how much you want it and I can see that passion in you. So well done because it was an amazing audition and I just love you. Thank you so much. I mean, first of all, your personality is outstanding. On top of that, as soon as you took that mic off that stand, you became a superstar. You absolutely crushed it. You were just great, man. Thank you so much. Uh, Matty, you're the kind of artist where I would say you want to put like eight spoonfuls of sugar in your tea. You put about 10,000 in. This, I think, is the biggest reaction we've had from anyone. That was so good. You know, that's one of my favorite songs. How good was that? And by the way, to everyone in this audience, I'm going to say this is your golden buzzer as well. Genuinely. Let's go and meet the guys. Come on. Yeah, of course. My name is Niamh and I'm from Ireland. Very lovely name. Thank you. How old are you, Niamh? I'm 17 years old. She liked this. When she gets a camera roll back, she'll like this. Have you brought anyone with you today? Yeah, my mom is in the audience somewhere. I don't know, wherever. Do you think you can win? I mean, I would love to. It'd be absolutely amazing. I think the harp's really unique, so hopefully. All right, well, we are with you. Go for it. Thank you. They say the holy war is watered down. Oh, she sings. This town lost its name. Her colors will remain eventually. So if her time is running out, day after day, we'll make the mundane our masterpiece. Oh, my, my. Oh. I'll take one look in the eye with the ordinary. I want you to lay me down to a dead end day. On the edge of your knife, stay drunk on your vine. The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowing we found something so heavenly, higher than ecstasy. Whenever you're next to me, oh, my, my. Blues and black and white, until I saw your light. I thought I had to die to find. I want you to lay me down to a dead end day. On the edge of your knife, stay drunk on your vine. The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowing we found something so heavenly, higher than ecstasy. When you started singing, I was like, oh, my. You've got an angelic instrument, an angelic voice. Combining that together was just perfect. Your voices were really special. And you're very unique. This is not an act that we see all the time. It was heavenly. You have a really sort of clean, clear voice. And I'm not going to lie, I do love a harp. But I was so relieved when you started singing as well. Your whole presence, it was beautifully, quietly confident. And you did a really good job. Simon, you've got an amazing voice. I mean, some people are just born with great voices. And you have that. And the version I thought of the song was sensational. Oh, thank you so much. Seriously, sensational. It's made you like the harp a little bit more. Yes. Better than some of the acts we saw earlier. It's a yes. Oh, thank you. Yes from me. Four yeses. Thank you so much. Hey, what's your name? My name is Joan and I'm a nurse. I work in the breast clinic. I've been nursing for 15 years. Did you bring anyone with you today? Yes, I've got my daughter and my sister. And do you believe you could win BGT? Don't get me started. You're going to get me so emotional right from the getty. Well, the stage is all yours. Listen, you can't hear a thing. It's silent. How good was that? What are you doing to us, Joan? Gosh, Joan, you just nailed that really beautiful song. With nothing but just your voice. Thank you very much. I loved that. Thank you. It felt very pure. That's what I loved about it. It's one of those special gifts when singers sing in such a beautiful way. Thank you. Joan, it was a great audition. Very simple, beautifully sang. That's sometimes all a great audition needs, that. Thank you. It was honestly amazing and you should be so proud. I'm sure your family are very proud as well. Thank you. I'd like to be the first to say yes. I'll be the second. I'm going to be the third to say yes. And I'll be the fourth. You got four yeses! Okay, so tell us, what's your name and where are you from? My name is James. I'm 12 years old and I live in Wright, East Sussex. Who have you brought with you today? Mum, dad, brother, nan, grandad. A whole family! Yeah. Grandad's here. He's still looking for money, I think. Are you feeling confident? Yeah, a bit nervous. That's natural. Oh, that's it. Shake it off, shake it off. We are rooting for you. We're thrilled you're here. Whenever you're ready. Good luck, darling. Something has changed within me Something is not the same I'm through with playing by The rules of someone else's game Too late for second guessing Too late to go back to sleep It's time to trust my instincts To close my eyes and leave Go on, James, go on! It's time to try defying gravity I'll try defying gravity You can't pull me down So if you're covered up in a white starry sky As someone told me lately Such dance to fly to those around me Take a message back from me Flying high No wizard that there is or was Is ever going to be He stands and he's already won Great. Thank you. Everybody loves that big moment at the end. I cannot tell you how many times my children have tried to attempt that last moment in the song. It's the magic moment and you smashed it. James, I felt like I was watching a Disney kid show. You just absolutely blew everyone away. Andy, I cannot believe that a little sausage like you has the pipes for something so huge. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. You think your kids are talented, don't you? And then you're like, no, no, maybe my aunts are talented when you see people like you, James. Your parents must be absolutely buzzing. My favourite part of your voice is your falsetto. That was absolutely phenomenal. We're going to take a vote now. I'm going to start by saying yes. Yes for me. Yes, yes, yes. Thank you. You are a star in the making. It's a yes from me, James. How are you feeling, bro? I'm not going to lie to you guys. I am nervous. It means you care. I do. What's your name? My name is Finlay and I'm from York and I'm 20 years old. Did you bring anyone with you tonight? I've got my mum and my dad backstage and I've got my father. Bloody hell, they're over there. They were backstage a minute ago. They're over there. All right, you've got good support. Good support. £250,000 on the line. If you win, what are you going to do with it? I'm going to give half of it to my mum and dad. They're the reason I'm here today. They've put a lot of sacrifice in for me today. All right, well, the floor is all yours. Good luck. I don't know which way to go. You kiss and lift me higher, like the sweet song of the choir. You light my morning sky with burning love. Come on, BGT's. Yeah, let's go. Come on, let's go. A little bit. It's coming closer, the tension I lick in my body. Won't you help me? I feel like I'm slipping away. It's hard to breathe. My chest is heavy. I really, really like it. With love and mercy, I'm burning the whole way away. You kiss and lift me higher. Like the sweet song of the choir. You light my morning sky with burning love. With burning love. I'm just a hunk of, hunk of burning love. Just a hunk of, hunk of burning love. A hunk of, hunk of burning love. Just a hunk of, hunk of burning love, yeah. Thank you. Yeah, how about that? I'm nearly gonna cry. I don't know. That is not what I was expecting. I'm guessing that's an original song. No, it's not. It's Elvis. I'm kidding. Honestly, Philly, man. I love that. That was amazing. Did your dream come true for me? Most about that audition was how you responded. When you saw the audience get behind you, your confidence grew. It looked like you were having the best time of your life up there. I'm not gonna lie. That is probably the best gig I've ever done in my life. Oh, I see. We felt it. Workout as well. I'm absolutely knackered from that. I never stopped working. Simon Cowell, what did you think? So look, you're a nice guy. And this is what you do full-time, yeah? Well, I'm a uni student, but I busk every week in York. And the amount of times I have heard people say that I don't look like how I sound. I love all types of music. But my favorite music to sing is the older generational stuff. And it's not everybody's cup of tea. But it's my cup of tea. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I get it. Every Yorkshire, we love a cup of tea around here. Yorkshire. A cup of Yorkshire tea. Okay, should we take a vote? Let's take a vote. I'm gonna say yes. Thank you. I'm saying yes. The audience love you. You are true. Go and celebrate. Christelle Herrera, and I'm from Halifax, West Yorkshire. Have you brought anyone with you? Yes, I did. I brought my husband. Where's hubby? Hi, hubby. And what's the big dream? My biggest dream is to perform in front of the king. Lovely. I feel like today is my big day. So you woke up this morning. You knew it was the big day. How did you feel? Scared. Well, we wish you the best of luck. Thank you. You would only take the time I know in my heart you find What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams Without someone to share it with Tell me what does it mean I wanna run to you But if I come to you Tell me will you stay or will you I need you here I need you here to wipe away my tears To kiss away my love If you want me let me say But you Honestly, like that was unbelievable. I mean, your husband must be over the moon. Being able to hear that every day of his life. I want to see more. This is your year. That was sensational. Absolutely outstanding. Like your technique was 10 out of 10. Absolutely fantastic. Honestly, I am blown away by that entire performance. And what I'm finding extraordinary is how sort of little and shrunk you are. And when you sang, you turned into a complete diva, baby. And I don't think you realize just how incredible you are. The way you go from head voice to chest voice so effortlessly is unbelievable. And yeah, I really hope that you get more confidence because you're incredible. A massive yes from me. That's four yeses you're going for. What is your name? The name is Nick Varney. I am a singer from Maidstone, Kent. Did you bring anyone with you? Yes, I've got my three lovely children and my mother-in-law in the audience. Oh, hey. And what is your dream? In my music career, I've always been at the back. So now I think that it's time for me to be on the spotlight. I like that. So now is your time to be the main star. Yes, sir. All right, well, take it away, bro. I'm in the pick of it. Oh, he said it. Go on, Nick. I'm here for this. From the day we arrived on this planet And blinking, stepping to the sun There's more to see That could ever be seen More to do That could ever be done There's far too much to take in here More to find That could ever be found Ah, the sun running high Through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small On the endless round It's the circle of life Moves us all Through despair and hope With faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle The circle of life It's the circle of life Moves us all Through despair and hope With faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle The circle of life I'm speechless. You weren't in the thick of it. You owned it. That was phenomenal. Your vocals were so crisp, clean and made the crowd go crazy, man. Thank you. But not a backup. You are the main event. I could not agree more. The clarity of your voice. You've got such an amazing tone. I mean, you really, really make that song your own. It's obviously a very familiar song. Hearing it for the first time. What a star. Every bit of that. You've got such a powerful voice. The fact you can get that high was just incredible to see. Thank you. We appreciate that. Love the polished tone to your voice. Absolutely superb. Can't wait to see more from you. You deserve to be at the front of that stage. Well done. I'm saying yes. Four yeses. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
