Simon assumed that Jonathan’s audition would be a complete waste of time as soon as he and Charlotte walked onto the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage.
He said to one of the other judges in a whisper, “Just when you think it can’t get any worse.”
However, Simon was unaware that this performance would go on to become one of the most popular viral videos on YouTube, and for good reason.
Jonathan, 17, claimed that due of his stature, he was constantly the target of abuse, and 16-year-old Charlotte took on the role of his fearful, foolish keeper.
Three months before the audition, Jonathan had a nervous breakdown due to the extreme circumstances.
In the video below, Jonathan and Charlotte perform a pop-opera rendition of “The Prayer,” but as the bashful Jonathan opens his mouth and begins to sing, his talent and confidence soar!
Simon’s face fell to the ground, and when it came time to evaluate their performance, he said something quite different than what he had said before.
Aim for the performance of a lifetime and remember to never judge a book by its cover!
