Filipino singer Matty Juniosa is officially heading to the finals of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ after earning another Golden Buzzer during the semi-finals.
In the April 26 episode, Juniosa delivered a powerful rendition of ‘Dream On’ by Aerosmith, impressing both the audience and the judges. His performance earned a standing ovation.
Judge Alesha Dixon praised the singer’s vocal ability, saying: “I don’t even know what to say. You are just effortlessly sensational… It just pours out of you so easily.”
She added, “That was a stellar masterclass in how to deliver a Class A vocal. Well done.”
The crowd’s excitement culminated in judge Amanda Holden pressing the Golden Buzzer, sending Juniosa straight to the finals.
Overwhelmed by the moment, the singer said: “I feel crazy right now. Like it’s not real. Oh, my God!”
This marks Juniosa’s second Golden Buzzer in the competition, following his earlier one from Simon Cowell during the auditions for his performance of ‘Purple Rain.’
Cowell also commended both his performance and character: “Alesha summed it up when she said it was a masterclass. That is what it’s all about. Great song, your range is incredible. And you are the sweetest person, I’m so happy for you. Two Golden Buzzers, that’s not bad, right?”
With two Golden Buzzers under his belt, Juniosa advances directly to the finals, where the winner will be determined through a combination of judges’ scores and audience votes.
Before his stint on the UK talent show, Juniosa was a contestant on ‘Idol Philippines’, where he reached the Top 12. He later became part of the group iDolls alongside Enzo Almario and Lucas Garcia.
As the competition heads into its final stage, all eyes are now on Juniosa as he carries the Filipino flag on the global stage.
