The audition features the dynamic young musical duo\u00a0Bars & Melody (BAM)<\/b>\u00a0], consisting of vocalist Charlie and rapper Leondre, on the\u00a0Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/i>\u00a0stage in 2014.

Before performing, Leondre reveals the deeply personal inspiration behind their music. He shares with the judges that he started writing raps because he went through a\u00a0\u201cvery hard time in primary school\u201d<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0where he was being severely\u00a0bullied<\/b>. Writing music became his rock, a powerful way to express himself and find confidence when he was feeling \u201cdown\u201d and struggling with the emotional turmoil .<\/p>\n

The duo performs a twist on the song \u201cHope\u201d by Twista and Faith Evans, with Leondre writing an entire\u00a0original rap verse<\/b>\u00a0focused on the critical theme of\u00a0anti-bullying<\/b>\u00a0. The topic is something they felt strongly about, wanting people to really listen and hear the lyrics in their song .<\/p>\n

Leondre delivers his raw, emotional rap with incredible passion, detailing the struggle of feeling alone, afraid to leave home, and dealing with a bully . He pleads,\u00a0\u201cPlease help me God, I feel so alone, I\u2019m just a kid, how can I take it?\u201d<\/b>\u00a0, while Charlie provides the soulful, melodic chorus. The combined effect of the brutal honesty and the boys\u2019 talent creates a powerful, unforgettable performance.<\/p>\n

The judges are instantly and profoundly moved. Amanda Holden says,\u00a0\u201cWe all in tears\u201d<\/b>\u00a0], and Alesha Dixon praises them for having the courage to sing about something that truly affects them in a style that is \u201ccompletely yours\u201d . Simon Cowell admits that while he was \u201closing the will to live\u201d after previous acts, he listened to\u00a0\u201cevery word\u201d<\/b>\u00a0of their song because he was also bullied when he was young .<\/p>\n

Recognizing not only their talent but the profound social message they delivered, Simon Cowell immediately reaches for the\u00a0Golden Buzzer<\/b>. The confetti rains down as the crowd erupts, sending the tearful but triumphant Bars & Melody straight through to the live shows and securing their place as one of the most memorable and important acts in BGT history.<\/p>\n
