Britain’s Got Talent Series 18 returned over the weekend for the first show of the live Semifinals. The judges and hosts get to press one Golden Buzzer each during this round, and this was Amanda Holden’s week to use hers. She chose to give the honor to the Blackouts, an LED dance group.
During this week’s show, the Blackouts took the stage to perform a colorful light-up dance routine set to songs by Elton John and Coldplay. The LED dance group from Switzerland previously earned the group Golden Buzzer during the audition round.
In addition to the group’s costumes, the performance also featured a light-up car and phone booth, as they invited everyone to “party with us.” The group members also banged on drums, and one of them appeared to levitate thanks to a bunch of balloons.
The judges gave the performance a standing ovation, and the audience went wild with applause. The crowd chanted for the Golden Buzzer, and Amanda Holden gave them what they wanted. The Blackouts will now go straight into the Finals.
Fellow judge Simon Cowell predicted that the group could win the entire competition. Holden told them she didn’t think they could improve upon their audition, but they proved her wrong.
