Dylan, a young contestant on Britain’s Got Talent, has shocked the nation with his remarkable singing, with many anticipating that he will win the season.
On Sunday night, the 12-year-old London vocalist entered the stage to perform Beyonce’s classic Listen for judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and Amanda Holden.
Before beginning his performance, Dylan declared his plans to spend the £250,000 prize money on an album and a vacation to America.
And it was evident only seconds into his rendition that his aspirations were about to come true.
Dylan’s vocals had all four panellists on their feet at the end of the song, and the audience gave him a standing ovation as well.
Sharing her reaction, a shocked Alesha said: ‘Wow, I think I spent most of that audition just gobsmacked.
‘I wasn’t expecting not only an incredible tone, but your technique is off the scale. It was phenomenal. You are 12 years old, wow, what a find Dylan.’
Amanda echoed Alesha’s praise and added: ‘My favourite thing when we do Britain’s Got Talent is just to see a sort of gorgeous, unassuming, humble person on the stage who then completely knocks it out the park, and that was you. I mean, flawless.’
Simon was just as impressed and gladly offered compliments. ‘like your personality,’ he said.
‘You picked up one of the most iconic most difficult songs to sing as your first audition. It wasn’t perfect, but no audition is perfect, and I think it says a lot about you.’
He added: ‘I really like you.’
Unsurprisingly, all the judges voted for Dylan to go through.
