Britain’s Got Talent first as contestant walks off stage in surprise move
A BRITAIN’S Got Talent contestant walked off stage in a surprise move for the first time EVER tonight.
The fourth instalment of this year’s series of the ITV talent show saw more acts take to the stage in front of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.
This evening saw musician Danny Platinum, from Yorkshire, wowed the judges with his own freestyle rap.
What made his performance different to any other was that he started the act outside with an audience.
He then continued singing inside, leaving the audience and judges totally blow away with his talent.
An impressed Alesha asked: “Was that a genuine freestyle?”
Danny replied: “Yeah so I made it up man. I stole my man’s hat, I talked about my girl over there. I don’t know these people. I haven’t got the budget for it.”
Simon added: “I really like you Dan. I always say on this show, you get three or four minutes, a lot of people stay on the stage, you had this thought in your head, go outside, improvise, you did something different. It’s going to be remembered.”
The freestyle rapper got four yeses.
As he walked off the stage, Alesha confessed: “I’ve never seen anything like it!”
Fans rushed to social media to praise Danny for his performance.
One said: “Simon ordered originality, Danny delivered it.”
Another chimed in: “Thats Original, thats Talent.”
“Wow impressive!!!,” a third added.
Elsewhere in the episode student Duncan Murray showcased his skills on a pogo stick.
The 22-year-old performed a series of daring tricks for the judges.
He left the hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly screaming in terror as he invited them on stage and used them as part of his act.
“You might want to tuck your head in a little bit,” he told them as he jumped over them.
The show has also been plunged into fresh controversy after an Italian act who have already appeared on Italy’s Got Talent, showed off their talent tonight.
Umberto and Damiano performed their pantomime skit from Disney’s Frozen, which had most of the judging panel in stitches, with the exception of Simon Cowell.
Some angry fans have suggested that the show should be renamed to: The World’s Got Talent and others have even threatened to call Ofcom to report a “Violation of the Trade Description Act.”
BGT's Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer's over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred – Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. “I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs,” she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. “So she lip-synced,” Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company – Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her “honour” to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny – Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody – They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain’s Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I’ll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan – known as Melody – is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries – who is Bars – with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
