The second 13-year-old Malakai Bayoh opened his mouth, the crowd went from curious to completely stunned, His voice? Not just good, heavenly, One high note and jaws hit the floor, Even Simon couldnt hide his shock
When 13-year-old Malakai Bayoh stepped onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage in early 2023, no one expected what came next. With a calm presence and a quiet breath, he launched into “Pie Jesu” by Andrew Lloyd Webber—a soaring, Latin classic known for its difficulty and emotional weight. Within seconds, the theater transformed. The purity of his soprano voice swept over the crowd like a wave, silencing whispers, freezing movements, and bringing tears to eyes.
Judges leaned in, visibly stunned. Bruno Tonioli clutched his chest in disbelief, while Simon Cowell, known for rarely being impressed, simply smiled through the entire performance and later called it “heavenly.” The audience sat in stunned silence, followed by a roar of applause that shook the room. Some wiped away tears; others just stared, overwhelmed.
