I cry out of happiness for him that he managed to do this thing. So yes, this is my goosebump moment hope you liked it thank you.”
An emotional audition on Britain’s Got Talent
Although he seemed nervous, Calum Scott’s audition on Britain’s Got Talent Season 9 in 2015 earned him a standing ovation from the judges and the audience. His sister Jade, who auditioned before him but failed to impress the judges, was very proud as she watched him sweep Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” from backstage.
According to the judges, his performance was sensational and gave the entire audience goosebumps. After his appearance on the first episode of the show, his Twitter followers went from 400 to over 25,000 and the video of his audition went viral.
