Fans of Britain’s Got Talent were blown away by singer Travis George after he gave an emotional performance on the ITV show.
The 22-year-old from South Wales took to the stage on Saturday night (May 6) and shocked the panel with his rendition of a Les Misérables classic.
Despite his shaky start, which saw him reduced to tears, Travis managed to quickly console himself to deliver a spectacular performance which left the judging panel stunned.

But as viewers rushed to Twitter to compliment him, some couldn’t help but compare his audition to singer Susan Boyle’s in 2009.
One social media user wrote: “Oh my goodness!! Travis has given me goosebumps, it’s like witnessing Paul Potts and Susan Boyle all over again. Absolutely outstanding and he is a superstar. The best moment is he doesn’t know how great he is. Loved it.”
Another said: “That Travis audition reminds me of Susan Boyle’s first! GOOSEBUMPS everywhere and I don’t have a soundbar. We are looking at the winner of #BGT2023 GO ON LAD! You’ve got this.”
While another asked: “Travis, the male answer to Susan Boyle?”
After Travis’ mesmerising performance, the judges shared their thoughts.
Simon Cowell said: “You weren’t messing around were you.”
New BGT judge Bruno Tonioli added: “Talk about going for it! I tell you, you could walk into a West End or Broadway show tomorrow!”
Amanda Holden echoed: “I’ve seen Les Mis countless times and you just knocked it out of the park, flawless.”
Meanwhile, Alesha Dixon also added: “You are adorable, you’re so sweet and you don’t realise how great you are.”
Head judge Simon then concluded that many will remember Travis’ audition.
He said: “It was an amazing audition, that’s what I call selling a song, that’s an audition we’re going to remember.”
As well as Travis, fans were also impressed with beatboxer MB14 who received the golden buzzer from presenters Ant and Dec.
Jumping onto Twitter, Ant and Dec shared a picture of themselves with the musician and wrote: “We hit our Golden Buzzer. Can’t wait to see what MB14 is going to bring to the Live Semi-Finals. He’s going to be hard to beat.”
