Matty J Sings Purple Rain and Wins Golden Buzzer on Britain's Got Talent

Oh my God, hello everyone.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. How you doing? Doing all right.

This is crazy. Oh my gosh. I can't believe you guys are real people.

Ah! Oh my gosh, I want to cower in front of you.

Oh, wow. I love your energy. Thank you so much. What's your name?

My name is Matty J. I'm 27 years old, originally from the Philippines, but in the last three years- Woo! ...

I've been living in Glasgow. Glasgow. Ex- accent with his accent, innit?

Matty, do you have a, a day job, a regular job? I do.

I work as a part-time waiter, yeah. Okay. Oh.

So, what brings you to Britain's Got Talent?

Gosh, I have been waiting for this chance to finally put an end to this long thing that I've been thinking of about myself, that I will always be a singing competition loser.

So- Hang on, hang on. What show? Uh, Idol, from back in the Philippines. Oh.

Do you ever watch Star Wars? No, I'm too gay for it.

Best answer ever. Only because compared, we are like the Jedi Knights.

And what is your dream? Oh my gosh, my dream is to sing for this amount of people and to sing every day and to make music and to conquer the world.

All right. Whenever you're ready, Matty.

Go for it. Oh, you know when you just hope someone's really good?

Come on.

Never meant to cause you any sorrow.

Never meant to cause you any pain.

See, I only wanted one time to see you laughing.

I only wanna see you laughing in the purple rain.

Honey, I know times are changing. Hey.

It's time we all reach out for something new, that means you too, yeah.

You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind.

You better close it. Let me guide you to that purple rain.

Purple rain, purple rain.

Oh, wow. Purple rain, purple rain. Yeah.

Purple rain, purple rain. I only wanna see you laughing in the purple rain.

Whoa. Woo, woo, woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo, woo.

Woo, woo, yeah, yeah, yeah. Woo, woo. If you feel me, can you see it?

I only wanna see you laughing in, whoa, in the purple, in the purple, in the purple rain.

I was never into my own device. Oh, look at the reaction.

That is wonderful. But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?

Oh my heart. Yeah. Wow, wow, wow. Matty, your range is insane.

Oh my goodness. What a treat. It's like when you discover a new food or a new restaurant, you're like, "I need to go back. I need more."

Whatever you're about, I just need more of it.

And the world keeps spinning round. I guess that's why they call it the circle of life. Matty, you were amazing.

It was an, an amazing version. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. I thought that was a fantastic performance, but I can see how much you want it, and I can see that passion in you.

So well done, because it was an amazing audition.

And I just love you. Thank you so much.

Let's go. Let's go. I mean, first of all, your personality is outstanding.

On top of that, as soon as you took that mic off that stand, you became a superstar.

You absolutely crushed it. You put this crowd back.

Thank you so much. Uh, Matty, you're the kind of artist where I would say you wanna put, like, eight spoonfuls of sugar in your tea.

You put about 10,000 in.

This, I think, is the biggest reaction we've had from anyone.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

If you close your eyes- Oh, what a song ... does it almost feel like you've been here before?

Oh, what a song ... does it almost feel like you've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this if you close your eyes?

Oh, oh, oh. That was so good. Thank you so much.

That was one of my favorite songs.

How good was that?

And by the way, to everyone in this audience, I'm gonna say this is your golden buzzer as well, genuinely.

Let's go and meet the guys. Come on. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Get as much as you want.

How good was he? Good golden buzzer. That was a good one. Yeah, one of the best, I'd say.

He is fantastic. Yeah. We love you. Thank you.

Deserved that. That was so cool. I loved that.

Yeah, perfect.
