12-Year-Old Boy Wowed BGT Judges With His Exceptional Performance of “Listen”

Britain’s Got Talent 2023 is currently underway and it’s already showcasing some remarkable performances. One standout contestant is twelve-year-old Dylan B, who has the potential to become the top contender. His audition has taken the internet by storm, amassing nearly 1.9 million views in just nine days.

Dylan decided to go all out and chose to perform the iconic and challenging song “Listen” by Beyoncé from the musical Dreamgirls. Beyoncé’s rendition is considered definitive, with her exceptional voice making it seemingly impossible for anyone else to do justice to the song.

However, Dylan proved everyone wrong when he took to the stage. His performance was absolutely extraordinary, captivating both the judges and the audience.

By the end of his rendition, everyone was on their feet, giving Dylan a well-deserved standing ovation. Although Simon mentioned some imperfections, no one else seemed to notice any flaws.

Judge Alesha Dixon was left astonished throughout most of the audition, and Amanda Holden agreed, stating that Dylan knocked it out of the park and delivered a flawless performance.

The comments section is filled with praise for Dylan’s talent. The only criticism you’ll find there is directed towards the judges, as many people were surprised and disappointed that Dylan didn’t receive the highly sought-after Golden Buzzer.

A person wrote, “He 100% deserved the golden buzzer. One of the best voices I’ve seen on any of these shows, and what a cutie. Adorable giggle. He’s going places.”

Another added, “This kid has immense talent and hopefully will become a much loved recording artist in the future. I have not heard such great vocals since Whitney. Good luck Dylan.”

Many viewers admitted that they got goosebumps due to his performance and even Beyonce couldn’t do that for them.
