Collabro<\/b>\u00a0on\u00a0Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/i>\u00a0in 2014, a performance that launched them to eventual victory. The five members introduce themselves, revealing that they all work day jobs as a labourer, sales assistant, kitchen salesman, and in a Japanese restaurant and a hospital .<\/p>\n

The biggest surprise they deliver before singing is the revelation that the musical theatre boy band has only been together for about\u00a0one month<\/b>\u00a0. When asked what makes them confident enough to win BGT after such a short time, they simply state that they possess \u201cnatural chemistry\u201d ], which raises the judges\u2019 skepticism, especially Simon Cowell\u2019s.<\/p>\n

For their performance, Collabro chooses a powerful and unconventional song for a modern boy band: \u201cStars\u201d from the musical\u00a0Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/i>\u00a0. As they begin to sing, their voices immediately blend in perfect, dramatic harmony, showcasing a classical musical theatre sound that is both unexpected and overwhelmingly impressive.<\/p>\n

The performance builds, with each member taking a strong solo line before returning to powerful, collective harmony . The sheer quality of their singing, combined with the emotional weight of the song, utterly captivates the audience and the judges, who are seen watching in a state of absolute awe.<\/p>\n

Following the final note, the auditorium erupts in thunderous applause, and the judges are visibly moved.\u00a0Amanda Holden<\/b>\u00a0is reduced to tears, telling the group,\u00a0\u201cOh my God, you\u2019ve reduced me to tears\u2026 that was bloody brilliant\u201d<\/b>\u00a0. Simon Cowell admits his initial bias:\u00a0\u201cWhen the five of you came out I thought here we go again, another boy band, this is going to be awful. It was an absolutely brilliant audition\u201d<\/b>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The judges praise their unique song choice and incredible achievement in just one month, with Simon concluding that they were \u201cone of the strongest auditions\u201d he had ever seen . Unsurprisingly, all four judges\u2014Amanda, David, Alesha, and Simon\u2014deliver enthusiastic \u201cYes\u201d votes, sending Collabro through to the next round of the competition .<\/p>\n
