Boy Band New Bounce won a place in the Britain’s Got Talent final alongside Monday’s finalists Ronan Parke and Paul Gbegbaje after winning the public vote.
The band were given an amazing seal of approval by judge Simon Cowell after performing Jessie J’s Price during their semi-final performance – saying they have what it takes to go all the way to the top.
James (12), Mitchell (16), Kuan (13) and MJ (12) met during their stints as the young Michael Jackson in West End musical Thriller and decided to join as a group.
The members were speechless straight after they won the audience vote, leaving Jean Martyn and David and Karen to the mercy of the judges. In the end, it was an easy win for Jean who got four 'yes' votes from the judges.
They felt they had a lot to prove after a slightly dodgy audition, but they pulled together to deliver what might have been the best performance of the night so far – and the amazing crowd response certainly indicated they’d done something rather special.
Simon said: “Let me tell you something: this is the first time I’ve seen an act in two days that will actually be successful in the real world…I love these guys.”
He added: “You right now are the ones to beat. Congratulations.”
David said: “Tonight you were unbelievable. I’m so, so proud of you. You went back, you did your homework and you brought it.”
Even though gave the boys a ‘no’ during the audition, Michael said he was very glad to be wrong.
Amanda: “We gave you that second chance with the sing-off and you proved us right. JLS have some competition now.”
At the auditions the boys melted the Manchester audiences’ hearts but were stopped by Amanda Holden half way through and requested to try another song.
Their second performance received the thumbs up from both Amanda Holden and David Hasselhoff with the Hoff saying: “We put a lot of people through on heart on cute and sweet, I know that is nice but it is really not fair. You, the lead singer, you were singing flat the whole time. But then when you came back with the last song, you guys were great.
Michael McIntyre was not as impressed, with his main concern being that their cute image was making the other two judges fill in the gaps in their performance and making them think they were better than theywere.
