Britain’s Got Talent fans are issuing the same demand after hearing the 12-year-old performer
Britain’s Got Talent fans have demanded a young act is given the coveted golden buzzer.
The ITV variety competition has returned with a new series, as Stacey Solomon (temporarily stepping in for Simon Cowell), Amanda Holden, KSI and Alesha Dixon hunt for the nation’s next winner.
Every year, the judges and hosts Ant and Dec are able to award one auditionee a golden buzzer, which catapults the performer straight to the live semi-final shows.
And after watching a preview for an upcoming audition, fans have been making the same demand. 12-year-old James from Rye, East Sussex, was met with a roaring crowd after his rendition of Wicked’s Defying Gravity.

He admitted feeling a “bit nervous” before his performance, but clearly had no need to be, as he was met with a standing ovation, and the judges left gobsmacked, all on their feet as they applauded the young singer.
The emotional rendition had Ant and Dec screaming from the sidelines, as Alesha told him: “That was how you do it! Everybody loves that big moment at the end, I can’t tell you how many times my children have tried to attempt that last moment in the song, it is the magic moment, and you smashed it!”
KSI added: “James, I felt like I was watching a Disney kids show. You blew everyone away.”
“I cannot believe that a little sausage like you has the pipes for something so huge, congratulations,” Amanda praised.
Stacey shared: “You think your kids are talented and then you’re like, no maybe mine aren’t so talented, when you see people like you, James. Your parents must be buzzing.”
She added: “That was absolutely phenomenal,” before Alesha branded James “a star in the making”.
One fan wrote: “That’s out of this world for a 12 year-old boy. I felt I was watching one of those Disney movies. So beautiful. He is a star even without the Golden Buzzer.”
Another said: “Definitely deserved the golden buzzer,” while a third added: “Rarely does a kid have this level of vocal maturity. It moved me to tears. Should have gotten the golden!”
Someone else wrote: “Jeeeesuuuuus! Normally with kids, even trained kids, you can usually hear some bits that show underdeveloped voice and techniques, but my God, this boys control and technique was mind blowing!”
Yet another echoed: “How did he not get The Golden Buzzer?!! Unbelievable,” as someone else said: “When you have crowd reaction like that and all four judges standing, I felt that this was a golden buzzer performance. He nailed that song!!!”
Another viewer wrote: “Tears are flowing down my face listening to that young man. Hit every note.”
Someone else wrote: “THE PIPES ON THIS KID WHAT THE HECK, HOW DARE HE NOT GET GOLDEN.”
Britain’s Got Talent airs Saturday 6:45pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
