With his early singing prowess, those familiar with Malakai might have anticipated he’d easily secure four yeses from the judges. However, they were wholly unprepared for what unfolded next.
Performing “Pie Jesu,” Malakai swiftly captured the attention of judges Cowell, Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon, leaving the audience equally stunned by his voice.
As Malakai delivered each note, his performance moved everyone to tears, including the audience. When he concluded, the entire room erupted in applause and cheers.
Radiating with emotion and a wide smile, Malakai soaked in the adulation. Cowell, visibly impressed, remarked, “If there’s one word to describe that… golden,” before hitting the Golden Buzzer, advancing Malakai to the live shows.
Amidst a cascade of golden confetti, Malakai embraced the moment, even crafting a snow angel and preserving some confetti as a keepsake. Holden lauded his performance as “stunning and flawless,” while Dixon admitted she was entranced by his rendition. Tonioli, overcome with emotion, praised him for singing “like an angel.”
In a tweet from “Britain’s Got Talent,” Cowell lauded Malakai’s performance as the epitome of a Golden Buzzer audition, describing it as “perfect,” “surprising,” and “magical.”
