Britain’s Got Talent audience member reveals secret behind Noodle the cat’s performance
BRITAIN’S Got Talent audiences were left baffled after a ‘singing cat’ took to the stage on Saturday night.
After Noodle the grey cartoon cat blew judges away with his impressive vocals, one audience member revealed the secrets behind the 3D feline.
When the cat wandered onto the famous stage to perform in front of the judges, who looked just as confused as the audience.
Before the performance, Noodle said in a VT clip: “I’ve got a big surprise for the judges, there is a lot more to this cat that meets the eye.”
Amanda could be heard cackling when she saw the grey feline appear on stage, followed by Bruno who asked: “What is it going to do?”
But the judges were left open-mouthed when the act revealed their silky-smooth voice and belted out the huge ballad.
“Oh my god, now that’s a vocal,” Bruno said after the performance.
Amanda echoed: “OMG, I can’t believe a voice has come out of somebody with a tiny neck,” to which Bruno joked: “You must be Michael Bublé’s pussycat.”
He added: “Those vocals were insane.”
After the clip made its way onto YouTube, one audience member revealed how Noodle was brought to life.
“I was in the audience for this audition. The cat was a screen projection. Clever how they put it on stage for the TV showing.”
“Thankyou!! This was driving me mad trying to confirm if it was CGI or robot/puppet or some new tech,” one viewer replied.
“Thanks for shedding some light to this… I quite couldn’t understand what was going on here. Lucky you being there!!” another said.
“The animation was high quality. I was having difficulty putting down if it was a puppeteer or some type of green screen or computer generated in editing. The singing was top notch and the cat voice was actually cleverly done as well,” another mused.
Even Simon Cowell was impressed with the cat’s performance, saying: “I’ve always said that one year a singing animal would win Britain’s Got Talent – I’ve always said it, I’ve not always necessarily believed it.
“I never thought one day I would be talking to a cat saying I love your singing voice but Noodle, I think you can win the show.”
The act trotted off with four yeses – but it is not yet known who is behind the generated image.
Many fans took to Twitter to speculate that a famous musician could be playing a trick on the judges.
One person wrote: “Definitely a professional singer but who?”
Another shared: “I think it’s Michael Buble trying to pull a fast one haha.”
“Eh? I mean whoever is ‘behind’ the cat has a wonderful voice but what a strange act,” someone else added.
