Robbie Kennedy with his Acoustic Guitar Singing “Iris” – Week 3 Auditions | Britain’s Got Talent 2013 🎸✨
The video features an unforgettable audition by Robbie Kennedy, a 22-year-old bricklayer from South Wales. The unassuming nature of his day job stands in stark contrast to his incredible talent, which he is about to reveal on a national stage. His journey to the stage carries the spirit of a true underdog story, as he steps up to perform in front of the judges and a massive live audience, all of whom are unaware of the powerhouse vocals he possesses.
Robbie begins his audition with a performance of “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. Initially, the judges appear to be reserved and perhaps even a bit skeptical. However, as soon as he starts to sing, their expressions change from being unimpressed to surprised and then to sheer enjoyment. The initial skepticism of the judges and audience highlights the transformative power of his performance, as he quickly wins them over with his strong and soulful voice.
As he continues to sing, his passion for the music becomes evident. His voice has a raw, authentic quality that fills the auditorium, and he performs with a confidence that seems to grow with every note. The audience is visibly captivated, and by the time he finishes the song, both the judges and the crowd are on their feet, giving him a massive standing ovation. This moment solidifies his place as a genuine talent and a performer who can command a stage.
After his first performance, the judges provide him with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Alesha Dixon is the first to praise his voice, calling it “outstanding” and him a “true gift.” Amanda Holden admits that she was “knocked out” by his performance, a sentiment shared by David Walliams, who describes the act as “stunning” and says it “blew us all away.”
Simon Cowell, known for his keen eye for talent, delivers one of the most significant compliments. He notes that he was not expecting such a great performance and goes so far as to say that if Robbie were to release a record of the song, it would be a number one hit. Simon’s words not only validate Robbie’s talent but also hint at his potential for a successful career in the music industry.
The video also shows him performing a second song, which, like the first, earns him a standing ovation. This double success further proves his consistency and skill. In the end, all four judges vote “yes,” sending him through to the next round of the competition. Robbie’s audition is a powerful reminder that talent can be found in the most unexpected places and that a single performance can change a person’s life.
