Simon Cowell was completely blown away by one Britain’s Got Talent act on Sunday night (April 16), with them even sparking him to press his Golden Buzzer and leaving viewers watching “crying”.
Appearing on-stage in a bid to wow the judges, a young student named Malakai Bayoh spoke of how he started singing when he was very young.
In his VT, Malakai, 13, joked that his mum was “bossy” and made him join a choir, which left viewers at home in stitches, before he wowed everyone watching when he sung.

Singing a rendition of Pie Jesu, the student brought tears to judge Bruno Tonioli’s eyes when he performed the delicate and well-known piece.

The piece *is a widely recognised text from the final couplet of the hymn Dies irae, with the phrase meaning “pious Jesus” in the vocative.
After Malakai performed the moving rendition, all four judges rose up out of their seats to applaud the young boy.
Simon then described his performance as “golden” before reaching out to plunge down the Golden Buzzer, leaving Malakai aghast and spinning under the falling gold confetti.
