If there’s one thing that Britain’s Got Talent excels at, it’s tugging at our heartstrings. Few performances have managed to do this as effectively as the Flakefleet Primary School choir from Lancashire.
Under the direction of headteacher Dave McPartlin, the choir entered the stage wearing vibrant costumes that signaled a delightful experience for the judges. One of the choir members, 7-year-old Megan, shared their reason for participating in Britain’s Got Talent, saying, ‘I love singing!’ Meanwhile, Mr. McPartlin humorously added, ‘Some are fantastic singers, while others are simply full of enthusiasm.’
The performance of Queen’s legendary song ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ that came next was truly chaotic. With vibrant costumes, props, and oversized masks of the judges’ faces, it’s no wonder the judges and the audience quickly stood up. It was definitely a show-stopping act, with Alesha Dixon declaring, ‘that was absolute chaos and a delight to witness!’ and Simon Cowell stating, ‘This is what Britain’s Got Talent represents to me.’
Judge David Walliams was the one most touched by the performance. He was brought to tears and exclaimed, ‘You’re just one of the most joyous things I’ve ever seen!’ Therefore, it was no surprise that Flakefleet Primary School was his Golden Buzzer act! Thanks to the Golden Buzzer, Flakefleet advanced directly to the live Semi-Finals, where they returned with another lively performance. This time, they amazed both the judges and the audience with their rendition of ‘Holding Out For A Hero’ by Bonnie Tyler.
