Sometimes, an audition on a “Got Talent” show is so incredible that it gives you chills every time you watch it. It becomes a moment you never forget.
That’s exactly what happened when five young men proudly introduced themselves as Collabro on the stage of Britain’s Got Talent. As they stepped forward, the audience watched with curiosity. But Simon Cowell? He just rolled his eyes.
“Here we go again, another boy band tryout,” he seemed to think. The judges weren’t convinced yet, especially when they learned that the group had only been together for a month.
Judge Alesha Dixon raised an eyebrow. “What makes you think you can win Britain’s Got Talent after just a month together?” she asked.
Without hesitation, the group’s leader responded, “I believe it’s natural chemistry.”
Amanda Holden lowered her head slightly, hiding a small smile. The judges were clearly skeptical.
“That’s lovely. Take it away,” Alesha said.
And with that, Collabro began their audition. They started with “Stars” from Les Misérables. The first solo voice rang out, strong and clear, and the entire room went silent. As the song continued, another member took a solo, delivering a breathtaking performance. Then, the full chorus joined in, and the entire atmosphere changed.
he audience, the judges—everyone was captivated. Snarky smiles faded into astonished expressions. The power of their voices and the beauty of their harmonies built up to a breathtaking climax, leaving the entire theater in awe.
Before the final note even faded, the audience jumped to their feet, erupting into thunderous applause. It was a standing ovation that lasted long after the music had stopped. The judges were speechless.
It’s rare to see judges completely change their minds in one performance, but this was one of those moments. Amanda Holden, who had initially been amused by their confidence, summed it up best: “That was bloody brilliant!”
Their “natural chemistry” had just proven to be something extraordinary. From an unsure audition to an unforgettable moment, Collabro’s journey had just begun. They went on to make it all the way to the finals—like something straight out of a fairytale. And in the end, they won Britain’s Got Talent 2014.
Collabro’s performance of “Stars” became an internet sensation, amassing over 51 million views on YouTube. Their story is proof that talent, hard work, and natural chemistry can take you to incredible heights. Sometimes, the most amazing moments come from the most unexpected places.
