CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Love it!
Do you think you can win?

Well, go for it. Good luck. Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Where's my book? GIRL GIGGLES
It's quite chaotic, which I like.
I'm looking forward to it. This is a bit all over the place.
Once upon a time many, many years ago
there was a very old man called Simon Cowell.
Ha!
Simon Cowell worked very, very, very hard
to come up with an amazing TV show that would entertain the nation.
I've got it. Britain's Got Talent!
Hey, that was my idea.
I'll give you a job if you don't tell the teacher.
LAUGHTER
Simon now had to find the very best people to make his show perfect.
Is this my audition?
Who's up first? Piers Morgan.
AUDIENCE BOOS
Blah, blah, blah, blah!
LAUGHTER
Yeah, that's exactly how he talks!
Next!
LAUGHTER
Wow, Alesha, I didn't like it. I loved it!
She's got the right hair as well.
Next!
You need me because I'm the best writer in all of the universe.
Hm, OK, you're in.
Simon, that's everyone on the list, I'm afraid.
You've seen them all now.
But there must be someone who can fill in the last spot.
I could do it, Simon!
# Let it go, let it go
# I am one with The wind and sky... #
That's basically how it went.
And so that was it, his panel was truly complete.
But there was still something missing.

We kind of just say to ourselves, "We know we're better than them."
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE But boys can dance if they want to.
It's not gonna affect anybody else.
And they're just people that are jealous of you.

Incredible audition. You did brilliantly well.
Thank you so much.
It was wonderful. We didn't want it to end.
Aww! We kinda wish there was a whole concert of Linda tonight,
because we'd have such a great time listening to you.
LAUGHTER
She finds that frankly laughable!
It wasn't really that funny, but I appreciate it!
But you can come again, I tell you that.
Oh, thank you! SIMON: Amanda.
I think that you need to have your proper moment now in the spotlight,
because you are a powerhouse.
Thank you so much. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You raised the roof.
There's no doubting you have an amazing voice.
You chose an incredibly difficult song.
What can I say? Thank you, Simon.

That was no games, innit? That was no joke business.
No games. Nah. Yeah, yeah, that was amazing.
It was... Can I do it again?
# Bring me a higher love Oh, oh... #
Did you just feel that? Yeah.
My job is to make you happy. Grin. Let me see a big grin.

I mean, I'd quite like to see what else was gonna happen...
SIMON: I'm with you. ..In the future.
APPLAUSE Alesha, what do you think?
I thought the act was actually brilliant.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

This is Britain's Got Talent, the biggest show in the world.
How are we feeling? Are we feeling good?
Ready?
# 'lee-on, yee-orr, yeee
# 'lee-err... #-
Good afternoon, sir. Welcome to the Royal Chapel.
My name's David God win, sir. In-Pensioner David God win.
David, nice to meet you.
It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm really looking forward to this.
Are we gonna surprise a few people? Indeed you are, sir.
Very nice to meet you. And you, sir.
# Oh, oh
# I like to sing, I like to sing
# When I feel the beat and The harmony, everything rings
# I like to sing, I like to sing
# Whoa-oh-oh-oh... #
Can I interrupt?
Hello.
# How do we rewrite the stars?
# Say you were meant to be mine
# And nothing could keep us apart
# Cos you are the one I was meant to find... #
I know a little bit about you.
I hear that you're a choir. ALL: Yeah.
I hear you're a very good choir. ALL: Yes.
And all of your parents have either served
or are serving in the Armed Forces. ALL: Yes.
And someone told me you might be the best choir in the world.
ALL: Yeah. OK.
Well, David did fill in an application form for you
to be on Britain's Got Talent, so what do you say?
Yes or no?
ALL: Yes!
# No-one can rewrite the stars
# How can you say that You'll be mine? #
Are you ready? ALL: Yes!
Are you gonna win? ALL: Yes!
Great!
See you, David. See you, guys. ALL: Bye!
# It feels impossible It's not impossible
# Is it impossible?
# Say that it's possible. #
We are the Voices of the Armed Forces Children's Choir.
My dad's in the army.
My dad is a Commander.
My dad is the Captain.
Parents go out on operation or an exercise
and it could be six to seven months, and children can't speak to them
and it's quite tough, yeah.
# There goes my heart beating... #
For months on end, they don't know when
they're going to see their parents,
they can't share their successes or talk about their worries.
And this is giving them a voice because it's not easy for them.
# Please come back now... #
It's hard because you don't know whether anything is gonna happen
to them, so you're worrying about whether they're OK.
Well, when my dad comes back, I feel really happy,
and I run over to him and give him a hug,
but I knock him off his feet.
# Spend every hour of everyday Keeping you safe... #
It's nice to be in a choir, so then we can all, like,
share all of our experiences.
Time to see Simon again. ALL: Yes.
Yeah! Best of luck.
Shall we get you on? Off you go.
# Cos I need you
# To see you are the wind to me. #
Do you wanna tell everybody who you are and what happened.
We are the Voices of Armed Forces Children's Choir
and not that long ago, a certain someone
came to surprise us, didn't he?
We were all just singing practice drills
and then all of a sudden, Simon popped out and surprised us,
saying that we are coming on Britain's Got Talent.
I heard how AMAZING this choir were,
so I invited them to audition for us on Britain's Got Talent.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
To my left, you've got two very special people
in one of the boxes up there.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Tell me what you're gonna sing today.
We're gonna sing Welcome Home, which me and Emily wrote during lockdown.
You wrote it? Good for you.
What inspired you to write the song?
Uh, just that our families were out on deployment,
and we wanted to bring everyone in the Armed Forces together
by able to sing an anthem of Welcome Home.
OK. So, this is really about how you feel
when your mum, or your dads come home from serving,
how you feel, yeah?
I love that.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
OK. It's down to you now.
We're fine? We've got it.
It's good to see you.

What did I tell you?
Welcome to BGT.
How did that feel?
ALL: Amazing!
Cos I can see you're just so excited to be here,
and I can see what an amazing day you've had.
And so amazing for us. Well done.
Well, it was like the perfect audition.
I was just so, sort of, proud of all of you.
Who are having a very different experience to childhood
to a lot of children, who get to see their parents all the time.
But you came here today to share that experience with us
in such a beautiful way. It was very, very special.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm a mess.
When the pictures came up of you with your mums and dads,
that's when I just fell apart, because I just think
how strong you all are to have to do without them
for so long when they're doing something so wonderful
for the rest of us.
So that's incredibly unselfish of you to lend them to us
for our own safety, so thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Stand by me... #
This why I love doing this show.
Meeting people like you, hearing your stories.
We hear lots of people from the services tell their stories,
we never hear the kids tell their stories, you know,
something I will never forget, and I hope you'll never forget.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I'm gonna kick this off with a massive yes!
David?
You make me want to join the army.
LAUGHTER
I'd love someone to miss me this much.
Er, I am gonna say yes.
It's a yes from me.
Well, I think you know where I'm gonna go with this,
but I've got to say it anyway.
You've all got four yeses.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# So, darling, darling, stand by me
# Oh, oh—oh Stand by me
# Oh, yeah Stand by me
# So whenever you're in trouble Won't you stand by me
# Oh, oh—oh Stand by me. #
You're my hero! And you're my hero!
And you're my hero!
Well done, everybody.
ANT AND DEC: Go and celebrate! Yeah!
Here we go, guys! Boom!
Whoa'. Yes'.!
I can tell you mean business! # Yeah! #
Ole! Yeah!
Blah!
I'm actually getting really stupid.
# I'm king of the mountain. #
Love it. Golly!
You left me wanting more. More!
What?! Oh, boo yourself!
