The Britain’s Got Talent 2025 auditions have seen fire-breathers, jaw-dropping dance crews, and mind-bending magicians. But sometimes, the most powerful performances come from the simplest moments. That’s exactly what happened when two best friends, Harry and Lewis, took the stage—and completely stole the nation’s heart.
A Friendship Years in the Making 👬
Before a single note was sung, Harry and Lewis had the judges and audience smiling. Their chemistry was undeniable. The 17-year-olds, both from Manchester, explained that they’d been best friends since primary school. From school assemblies to open mic nights, music had always been a shared love between them.
When Simon Cowell asked why they decided to audition together, Harry responded, “We’ve been through everything together—good days, tough days, heartbreaks, celebrations. This just felt like the next thing we had to face… together.” The audience audibly awww’d, and even Amanda Holden looked misty-eyed before the music began.
A Performance That Spoke Volumes 🎶
The pair performed a hauntingly beautiful acoustic rendition of Coldplay’s “Fix You”—a bold choice for any act, but one they made their own. The moment they began to sing, the room fell silent. Their harmonies were so seamless, so natural, it was as if one voice was simply echoing through two hearts. Neither tried to outshine the other—this wasn’t a battle of egos, but a display of mutual support and musical connection.
The performance was emotionally raw without being overwrought. There were no flashy vocal runs or gimmicks—just raw honesty and simplicity. You could feel the trust between them, like two friends holding each other up through every line of the song.
