After weeks of nail-biting auditions and five days of tense semi-finals, Britain’s Got Talent picked one of the 11 acts to be the 2014 champion.
And the public chose Callabro to be crowned this year’s winner, where they will take home a £250,000 cash prize and a spot at this year’s Royal Variety Performance.
The runner-up was Lucy Kay, with Bars and Melody in third place. Musical theatre actors, Callabro united to become a truly talented vocal group who have gone from strength to strength.
On Saturday night they sang Stars from Les Miserables, the song performed the character Javert in the long-running musical. David said: ‘It was wonderful, you couldn’t fault it. It was perfection.’ ‘Can’t fault, I was thinking “go on boys”,’ Alesha smiled.
‘Faultless performance, you are stunning and you could win this competition,’ Amanda said. ‘I have to echo that, You have steel in your eyes when you sing. You are totally focused. The first time I heard this song it was fantastic, well this was a step up,’ Simon shared.
Runner-up Lucy Kay had taken on Nessun Dorma, the song made famous by Luciano Pavarotti, and typically sung by a male opera singer.
‘That was simply superb,’ Alesha said, while Amanda echoed her sentiments: ‘That was pitch perfect, and a brave choice, you were just incredible darling
Simon said: ‘When we first saw you were a shivering wreck, you shone like a diamond tonight, any other year that was a show winner. But what a fantastic way to end the evening’.
Bars and Melody came in third place after performing their own original rap about bullying, by sampling Twista’s Hope and using the verse sung by Faith Evans.
The duo had previously performed the track, but David didn’t mind: ‘Yo, yo, yo, yo - well boys you smashed it tonight, I’m so glad you sung it tonight for us again.’
‘Every time I see you perform I could burst,’ Alesha gushed. ‘You are on such an amazing journey and I think you could win this show.’
Amanda said: ‘It is incredible, you are both exceptionally talented. You have that quiet confidence and it’s not arrogant, you’re awkwardness is endearing.’
‘It was just a great performance, it was from the heart and it was real and you meant everything you sang. I hope my little Eric turns out like you,’ Simon said
