The Golden Buzzer is the dream of every contestant on Britain’s Got Talent. For thirteen-year-old Malakai Bayoh, it meant even more than normal as it was a vindication after he was booed during a performance at the Royal Opera House.

In this video, which has been viewed 5.3 million times in just nine days, we see Malakai singing a superb rendition of Pie Jesu for the Britain’s Got Talent judges. It is an inspired song choice, after all, it’s the one that launched Charlotte Church’s career many years ago.

 

As Malakai sings, the camera cuts to the judges and audience regularly, and you can see everyone wiping away tears as Malakai sings. He touched everyone in the room in some deep place in their heart and soul. It’s a miraculous performance and one that everyone must wish they could have seen live. Malakia’s skill and beauty of tone are obvious but there was clearly a very special atmosphere in the auditorium and it would have been wonderful to have experienced it.
