Bruno Tonioli was overcome with emotion during the latest episode of Britain's Got Talent. It's hard to believe that the show has been on our television screens for almost 20 years, but in all that time, we've never seen a judge break a buzzer - until now.
As the auditions for the 2024 series continued, one performance in particular left Bruno in tears. The dance routine was so moving that he couldn't help but hit the Golden Buzzer with force, sending the group through to the live shows. The dance troupe, known as Phoenix Boys, wowed the audience with their incredible flips, spins, and leaps to the song "Tiny Riot" by Sam Ryder. Ranging in age from eight to 19, these boys showed incredible talent and passion for their craft.
As a professional dancer and choreographer, Bruno was deeply touched by their performance and gave it a standing ovation before hitting the special buzzer - so hard, in fact, that he ended up cracking it. The other judges were taken aback by his enthusiasm and the fact that he had broken the rules by giving out his second Golden Buzzer of the series. But Bruno's emotional response was undeniable, especially after previously awarding a teacher with special educational needs with his first Golden Buzzer.
After the performance, the boys surrounded Bruno on stage in a hug, and he shared with them how much he understands the hard work and passion that goes into succeeding as a dancer. His fellow judges also congratulated the group, with Amanda Holden even asking Bruno if they reminded him of himself. And Simon Cowell, usually known for his tough critiques, even showed a softer side by kissing Bruno on the head and understanding his emotional response.
As a former judge on Strictly Come Dancing, Bruno knows what it takes to capture an audience's heart and leave a lasting impression. He reminded the group that what truly touches people is performing from the heart, and that's exactly what the Phoenix Boys did. Their performance will forever remain in the minds of everyone who witnessed it.
But the episode wasn't just about emotional moments. It was also filled with a variety of acts, including a young dance troupe dressed as characters from the animated film Trolls, a couple who shocked the judges with their opera and ventriloquist act, and even the first K-pop band on Britain's Got Talent. Each act brought something unique and entertaining to the stage, leaving the judges with a difficult decision of who to send through to the next round.
One of the standout acts was a teaching assistant named Alex Mitchell, who had the crowd in stitches with his stand-up comedy set. He even poked fun at his own autism and tics, showing that he is fearless and funny. And after receiving praise from Simon, he called his parents to share the good news that he had made it through to the next round.
But the biggest shock of the night came from a married illusionist couple named Jay and Joss. They had the judges help plan their future honeymoon by selecting details such as the location, date, budget, and room number. And when they revealed a video they had pre-made that accurately predicted all of the choices, the judges were truly blown away.
The episode also featured some off-the-wall acts, including a 65-year-old opera singer who invited the judges to a sit-down dinner during her performance. Simon even ended up with spaghetti and meatballs on his head as waiters poured food over him and the other judges. And in true Simon fashion, he chased after Alesha and Amanda backstage in an attempt to cover them in food as well.
It's clear that this season of Britain's Got Talent is filled with a diverse range of talented performers and unexpected moments. And we can't wait to see what else this season has in store for us. Who are your favorites so far? Let us know in the comments!
