It had been a quiet day at the auditions, and Ant and Dec were hoping the next act would take the roof off the place. Then five young men walked onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage and introduced themselves as BoyBand.
The judges laughed and asked if that was really their name. It was. Corey, Mike, Dylan, Jaih and Mikey explained that every good boy band needs its characters. One was the ladies’ man, and another was the clown of the group, an 18 year old who apparently acts like he is five 😄.
They said they were inspired by One Direction and the Backstreet Boys and wanted that same level of fame. They rehearsed so often in public that security usually thought they were busking. When a judge asked what they were going to sing, the answer surprised everyone. They were not singing at all. They were a dance act.
Uptown Funk started, and the boys exploded across the stage with flips, sharp moves and nonstop energy. Before the routine was even over, all four judges were on their feet.
The judges called them sensational, confident and flawless. One said they were exactly what the show was looking for, and another said that watching them felt like seeing the future. BoyBand were sent straight through to the semi-finals, and Simon said they were exactly what the day needed 🔥.
