'This is an audition we're going to remember' - that was the verdict of tough-to-please Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell after another hopeful took to the stage during Saturday's (May 6) show.
Travis George took to the stage to perform in front of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli, as well as the audience and everyone watching at home.
And while his rendition of a Les Misérables' Stars got off to a shaky start. he was encouraged by the audience, who cheered him on. His beautiful performance was then greeted with enthusiastic roars from the crowd who got behind the 22-year-old from South Wales.
Travis broke down in tears after he finished singing, as the Mirror reports, as he watched the audience and judges get up from their seats and applaud him
As his performance came to a close, Travis also broke down in tears as he watched the audience and judges get up from their seats and applaud him.
"Amazing," Amanda shouted as Travis was given a standing ovation. Bruno and Aleesha also showered him with praise and Simon called the performance "amazing" and said: "This is what I mean by selling a song. This is an audition we're going to remember, Travis."
Travis' emotional mum was watching from backstage with hosts Ant and Dec, who elsewhere in the show handed out their Golden Buzzer.
Fans at home praised Travis' audition and said he reminded them of the iconic BGT star Susan Boyle, who's life changed after she auditioned for the show in 2009 and performed a rendition of Les Misérable's I Dreamed A Dream.
