A gifted 12-year-old from Lancashire named Cormac Thompson had one of the most amazing auditions on Britain’s Got Talent in recent memory. He won the audience over right away when he walked onto the platform with a modest smile and a quiet assurance. Everyone didn’t understand they were going to see something genuinely unique, though, until the music began. Cormac entered the scene prepared to demonstrate that age is nothing more than a number when it comes to unadulterated, innate skill by selecting a challenging and poignant song like “Run.”
There was a startled quiet throughout the entire auditorium as he started to sing. The judges called his voice “heavenly” and “angelic,” describing it as having a rare, crystalline purity that is difficult to find even in professional singers. Cormac’s performance was gentle, poignant, and deeply genuine, in contrast to many performers who attempt to over-sing. While the judges looked on in evident awe of his vocal control, a number of audience members were moved to tears by the emotional impact he brought to the lyrics, and every note he nailed was flawless.
The panel’s response was nothing short of extraordinary. The other judges quickly described his performance as “beautiful” and “pure,” while Simon Cowell commended the song selection as “brilliant.” He received a standing ovation and a unanimous four “yeses” from the panel, advancing him to the next round. The young Lancashire boy’s “angelic” voice has since gone viral, demonstrating that he is a future superstar. It was a moment that changed his life.
