After a fantastic audition, Britain’s Got Talent viewers insisted that one auditionee earn the golden buzzer.
Travis George, 22, had an emotional start, unable to even speak when conversing with the judges.
When the panel questioned the auditionee on his narrative and motives for auditioning, he broke down in tears and was obviously shivering, with his mother behind for moral support.
Travis, clearly apprehensive, leaving the crowd unsure of what to expect – yet he totally delivered.
He then sang out Stars from the musical Les Misérables, stunning the audience with his tremendous vocals.
Meanwhile, his mother clutched Ant and Dec backstage, unable to hold back her tears as she burst into them.
Travis immediately began sobbing once he finished singing, as the audience rose to their feet and exploded in applause.
Travis couldn’t believe it, but the judges couldn’t stop praising him.
‘Talk about going for it!’, Bruno Tonioli said.
‘I’m telling you, you could walk into a West End show tomorrow,’ he praised.
‘Very, very difficult song, sang better than most people I’ve heard.’
‘I’ve seen Les Mis countless times,’ Amanda Holden began. ‘And you just knocked it out the park.’
‘Flawless!’ she hailed
Alesha Dixon added: ‘You are adorable, you are so sweet and you don’t realise how great you are.
‘I’m really, really happy for you that you had this moment.’
Simon Cowell then said: ‘Travis, I mean, it was obviously an amazing audition.
‘Literally, that’s what I call selling a song.
‘This was an audition we’re gonna remember.’
It should come as no surprise that Travis earned four yeses from the panel, advancing him to the next round.
Viewers at home were equally as surprised, but also outraged that Travis did not earn a golden buzzer, which would have advanced him to the live performances.
Some hailed him the ‘male Susan Boyle’ and others insisted he’ll ‘go far.’
‘Agree with Bruno I can definitely see Travis in Musical theatre. He has an incredible voice for someone who is only 22 years old. Should have been Ant and Dec’s Golden Buzzer’, one viewer tweeted.
‘He would’ve been my golden buzzer for sure’, another wrote.
‘Now thats a Golden Buzzer Performance, Well Done Travis’, one wrote.
‘If there’s anyone that’s ever deserved the golden buzzer, it’s Travis on #bgt’, another declared.
Britain’s Got Talent continues next week on ITV1 and ITVX.
