Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to be famous. I used to picture myself as an actress walking the red carpet or taking the stage to get my gold award. I even thought about becoming a singer until I found out that it wasn’t really my thing. I love watching shows like “Britain’s Got Talent” where people try to become famous.
Plus, we get to hear about the contestants’ lives as they take the stage and show off their skills. I have to say that each of these people has earned their place on this stage.
Today, you’ll learn about a little boy who thought he wasn’t good enough because he liked music and was overweight, but who ended up winning everyone’s hearts.
A 15-year-old boy from Sheffield, England, named Kyle Tomlinson is crazy about singing. He first tried out for Britain’s Got Talent when he was only 12 years old. At the time, he didn’t have a chance to go to the second round. Instead, David Walliams suggested that he take singing lessons to improve. After spending more than £2,000 on vocal training, the teenager took David’s advice and came back to the BGT stadium three years later.
This time, he sang “Hallelujah” in a way that completely blew away the judges and the crowd. He didn’t just “wow” them; with his mesmerizing and spellbinding performance, he won them over and got the coveted golden buzzer! What a great thing to do!
Kyle gave a stunning and sad performance, which you can watch below. If you look closely, you can see the sparkle and emotion in his eyes. He should have gotten the golden buzzer.
