Malakai Paul has to be a contender for the Britain's Got Talent final. The 9 year old blew the judges away with his rendition of Beyonce's Listen after breaking down in tears.

As the judges welcomed Malakai to the stage it was obvious he was nervous but as he started to sing, the tears welled in his eyes - he suffers from stage-fright.  
 
Sobbing, he was forced to halt his performance and his mother Toni-Ann ran on stage. Alesha Dixon joined the pair to try and reassure him. 
 
"Are you alright sweetheart? You were doing so good! Is he okay to sing on?" 
 
Malakai was the first to say yes and as he gathered himself, shouts of “Come on Malakai” rang out. With his nerves aside, the youngster gave the performance of his life and the judges said it all. 
 
Alesha – “Malakai, it’s very, very simple, you are a star. It’s a natural raw talent, that’s what we are looking for. That was amazing sweetheart.”
 
David – “I thought that was a really special audition, I agree with Alesha, you’re a total star.”
 
Simon –“I’ve got to tell you, what I like about you; you’re brave, you know you, you got off to a bad start but you picked yourself up and people are going to like you a lot.”
 
Amanda – “Absolutely brilliant, well done.”

 

 


Backstage Dec congratulated him, "what was it like when you were up there, the whole place was on their feet, you got a standing ovation from everybody, how did that feel?"
 
Malakai was overwhelmed once more. "I felt proud."

 

He has to be a cert for the final!
