Shy Maxwell Thorpe’s unexpected voice stuns the Judges | Auditions | BGT 2022

My name's Maxwell. Maxwell, where are you from? I'm from Sheffield. And have you brought somebody with you? I have, yes. Who have you brought? I've brought some friends and my dad and, yeah, my family. Okay, fantastic. What do you do for a living? I've been busking for ten years now. Just in the street of Sheffield? Okay, and what's the response normally? Sometimes you're singing to people that aren't listening. So is this the biggest audience you've ever sang in front of? Yeah. It's incredible. Are you nervous? Very. Yeah, you look it, yeah. Well, good luck. Thank you. Un abbraccio, ragazza. Dopo che hai fatto pianto Poi si scrisce la voce E ricomincia il canto Te voglio Che sciogli i sangue di te ne sta Te voglio Demons in my head get me Put you back together I won't let you down Well, that was extraordinary. Thank you. I mean, seriously, you were so shy and quiet and then that happened. Thank you, thank you. Your passion and obviously your voice and just you, I thought, made it incredible. It was like one of those movies. This wasn't supposed to happen and it was brilliant. Thank you. Wow, wow, wow. I mean, the hairs on my arms stood up literally as soon as you started. It just felt romantic and powerful and meaningful and all the feels. Yeah, that was good. Thank you, thank you. I mean, I feel for you because you're so talented. Such an extraordinary voice. I hope that, you know, going forward that you feel more appreciated because, you know, these people were on their feet for you. Yes, they were. But that reaction has done something for your confidence because you are better than standing on a pavement. Thank you very much, Amanda. Thank you. Yes, you need to start believing in yourself, Maxwell, because after that you are heading for the big time. Sometimes when someone sings like that, you can almost feel yourself levitating. Yes. And that's happened so infrequently and you gave us that feeling today. So it's a pleasure to give you your first yes. Thank you very much. Thank you. It's an easy yes from me. Thank you, Alicia. Absolutely yes from me. Thank you. I'm working out how many people are in here. I'd say about 4,000. So that means you've got just about 4,000 yeses.
