Sometimes, an audition on “Got Talent” shows is so unexpectedly fantastic that it can be watched over and over, giving chills each time. This is one of those unforgettable performances.

Five young men stepped onto the stage of Britain’s Got Talent, proudly announcing their group name: Collabro. When the judges heard that the group had only been together for a month, Simon Cowell rolled his eyes, clearly thinking, “Here we go again, another boy band tryout.” Judge Alesha Dixon asked, “What makes you think you can win Britain’s Got Talent after just a month together?” The group’s leader promptly replied, “Natural chemistry, I think.” This response prompted judge Amanda Holden to bow her head to hide her smile.

“Lovely,” said Alesha, “then take it away.” And Collabro did just that. They began with a strong and beautiful solo intro of “Stars” from Les Misérables. The audience was immediately silenced. As the performance continued, a second member delivered another powerful solo, followed by the chorus that left jaws dropping. Sarcastic smiles turned into expressions of awe. What followed was a goosebump-inducing performance, with spontaneous applause and a standing ovation even before they completed their song.

Never before have so many judges eaten so much humble pie after one performance. Amanda Holden, who initially sniggered at the group, described the performance best by saying, “That was bloody brilliant.” Like a fairytale, the one-month-old group’s “natural chemistry” took them straight through to the finals, where they won Britain’s Got Talent 2014.

Collabro’s rendition of “Stars” became a viral sensation, amassing over 51 million views on YouTube. Their story is a testament to the power of talent, hard work, and natural chemistry, proving that sometimes, the most unexpected moments are the most magical.
