# When I die And they lay me to rest... #
Go on. jim!
# Gonna go to the place That's the best
# When I lay me down to die... # You all right, jim?!
# Going up To the spirit in the sky... #

Guys, that was honestly...
Worth the two-year wait. ..amazing.
CROW CAWS # Gonna go to the place
# That's the best... #
CROWS CAW, WIND HOWLS
Did you feel that? It's a bit colder here, innit?
It's suddenly got a bit chilly, hasn't it?
GHOSTLY CHILD SINGS: # Three blind mice... #
ECHOING LAUGHTER # Three blind mice
# See how they run... # It's gone cold all of a sudden.
BANG
AUDIENCE SCREAM
ECHOING VOICE: 'You can't see me.
'You'll never see me.
'I'm invisible.
STAGE LEFT: 'But I'm here.
STAGE RIGHT: 'Or over here.'
Right now, I'm standing right in front of one of the judges.
No... BUZZER
SCREAM I NG What?!
EVIL LAUGH
Did you touch that? No, I didn't touch it.
I don't know what's going on.
'Amanda, please follow me up onto the stage.'
Why is it always you? Oh, it's me!
'Come and take a seat.'
I don't like it.
'I'm just going to grab something from over here.'
AUDIENCE GASP
Oh!
'Amanda, please hold the balloon by the stick.
'Balloons are the first thing that we all learn to lose.
'Like the child that lost this balloon earlier today.
'They thought it was a gust of wind.
'It wasn't, it was... me.
'I stole it to teach a lesson in loss.'
SCREAM I NG, EVIL LAUGH
'You might think it was rather mean to burst the balloon like that,
'but losing things is an important part of life.
'I'll show you what I mean.
'Amanda, the box on this trolley is the theatre's lost property box.
'Please open the lid.
'Without showing anyone, Amanda,
'you will take one of the items
'and place it under the cloth on the trolley.
'Being invisible
'means I can't have material possessions of my own.
'So instead, I just steal them from other people,
'and better yet, I can compel other people
'to do my bidding.' CLATTERING
EVIL LAUGH
'Alesha, reach in with your right hand.
'Take a random object
'and hold it so no-one can see what you chose.
'You are holding a secret in your hands.
'One that nobody could possibly know.
'Remember, you could have taken anything from box
'and yet, Amanda knows exactly what you have taken.'
'Amanda, I want you to take a deep breath
'and tell everyone what Alesha is holding in her right hand.'
A dummy.
No way.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
This is weird.
'But there's just one object left to identify.
'The one that you took at the beginning, Amanda.
'There is a piece of chalk on the trolley.
'Please pick it up and bring it to me over here.
'I'm standing in front of the blackboard.
'And let go of it, Amanda.
'I will take it from here.'
CHALK SQUEAKS
How is it doing that?
AUDIENCE GASP
'Amanda, please lift the cloth
'and show everyone what you put there.'
AUDIENCE SHOUT AND SCREAM
'Please keep hold of those keys and take them back to your seat.
'You see, I've been amongst you these last few days.
'It's just that no-one ever saw me.'
AUDIENCE MURMUR
They're my house keys. Are they?
Are they...? ARE they?
'Amanda, those keys that you randomly chose
'belong to David.' What?!
'And, David, please look after them.
'Because next time, I won't be so kind.'
'Goodbye. Until I see you all again.'
EVIL LAUGH
BANG, AUDIENCE SCREAMS
# Nothing is as it seems.
# Caught in the in between... #
I don't know what to say, I mean, what do I do now?
There's no-one here, I don't know what just happened.
What do you want to say to the ghost?
I loved it and I'm confused and I feel weird.
And me.
It's one of the most extraordinary things we've ever seen on the show.
I love it. So, look, let me kick this off...
with a yes. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It's a yes from me.
Well, I'm gonna say yes, of course. He's got me...
I mean, I feel like he wants me to say yes.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Don't know where you are, by the way. Er...
You could be anywhere... Erm, assuming you're up there,
in which case, you have four yeses. Congratulations.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You just guessed that I had a dummy?
It was the weirdest thing. The first thing that came into my head.
Er, spooky.
Spooky, it's fantastic. I loved that kind of stuff.
# Nothing is as it seems... #
AUDIENCE SCREAMS, EVIL LAUGH
# As it seems... #
MUSIC: 'The Greatest Show' by Panic! At The Disco
# You wanna go where it's covered In all the coloured lights... #
BUZZER
That sound is scary!
They're louder than you think they are, right?
Right, right. Brr! It's making me nervous.
If you could watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be?
The Greatest Showman, I'll be happy!
I've seen that film so many times, as well.
The songs in it are amazing.
# Oh, this is the greatest show... #
Are you ready to come and perform? Yes.
Follow me. Thank you.
Good luck! It's all yours.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Oh, this is the greatest show. #
Whoa, look at his trousers! Good evening. My name is Ferdinand.
Ferdinand, is this what you do full—time?
No, I just love to sing for people, move their hearts.
The song that you're singing, why did you choose it?
It's one of your all-time favourites,
and I made my own unique version of it.
I hope, er, you all will like it.
APPLAUSE Good luck.
Thank you.
I would feel pressure.
SONG: 'Never Enough'
DEC: Ooh! It's not what I expected.
# I'm trying to hold my breath
# You set off a dream in me... #
What is the song?
I don't know! Why do you think I know?
# Can you hear it echoing? #
Do you know what it is yet?
# All the shine of A thousand spotlights
# All the stars We steal from the night sky
# Will never be enough
# Never be enough
# For me, never, never
# Never, never... # BUZZER
# Never, never, for me
# For me-e-e
# All the shine of A thousand spotlights
# All the stars We steal from the night sky
# Will never be enough
# Never be enou-ou-ough
# Fo-o-or, for me-e-e. #
BUZZER
You took your time!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you. HE GIGGLES
DEC: Ha, the audience love it! That was fun!
SIMON: Ferdinand, look, I really like you.
Thank you very much.
However, that WAS my favourite song of all time.
LAUGHTER
Not any more! OK.
It's like losing... It's like losing a friend.
No! You've just murdered it.
CROWD BOO I'm gonna start this with a no,
but I think I know where this is heading.
Ferdinand!
I have to say I loved your version, and I'm gonna say yes to you.
Thank you very much. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# And I know that I deserve your love... #
This is just one of those moments where
we all have different tastes...
Yes. ..and unfortunately...
...| didn't like it, so I'm saying no.
Oh. CROWD BOOING
I'm sorry, Ferdinand, but you know what,
you've made us all happy tonight, so job done.
Well done, Ferdinand. Thank you so much.
Come back and see us soon. Thank you so much.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Do you want to go and perform? Let's do it.
Come with me.
# I make no apologies This is me... #
I didn't like that at all.
I actually don't wanna hear it ever again.
Everything was terrible.
SHE SIGHS
That was a... That was a big sigh. I know!
I'm a little bit nervous, but I'm excited.
Are you singing for us today? Yes. OK.
They're ready if you are. OK.
Ooh! Best of luck.
It's all yours. All right.
# Gonna drown 'em out
# Oh, this is me. #
APPLAUSE
Welcome. And what's your name? My name's Loren.
And where are you from? From Brooklyn, New York.
APPLAUSE Is that right?
Yes. So why Britain's Got Talent?
Most of my favourite singers are from the UK,
so I thought I'd come pay a visit to you guys.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
OK. So, Loren, tell me a bit about you.
Uh, I think some of you guys have actually heard my voice,
but you don't know my face.
Um... I sang the song Never Enough on The Greatest Showman.
0h, my God! 0h. my God!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Blew their minds!
Oh, my God!
So I was hired to do the reference vocals for the actresses,
so they could learn the songs,
and so they had me come in and sing Never Enough,
and it really was Rebecca Ferguson, who plays Jenny Lind, who said,
"I think that Loren should sing the song, and I'll lip—sync."
So, you sang one of the biggest songs of all time...
You've now revealed it wasn't the actress
who sang the song in the movie,
it was you singing that song,
so why didn't you get that big deal after the song?
I was more comfortable singing behind-the-scenes,
but I feel kind of like the song was meant for me
and I'm kind of ready to put a face to the song, so...
I'm here to do that.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Are you going to sing that tonight? Yes!
Such a great thing to watch.
Good luck.
Here we go. Breathe, girl.

# Will you share this with me?
# Cos, darling, without you

Thank you so much!
Oh, my God. Oh, thank you. Congratulations.
That was just unbelievable.
You were so emotional at the beginning, as well. Brilliant.
Oh, that's so nice!
She got the recognition that she deserves.
AMANDA: I am absolutely shaking.
I can't believe I've had this incredible opportunity
to give you your moment to shine, cos this is it.
We were just in the palm of your hand from, like, the first note.
I can't think there's been many experiences on this show
where we've ever had THAT feeling.
ALESHA: It feels like a superstar's arrived.
Like, it was... It transcended. It was otherworldly.
Whoo!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
This is so well-deserved,
because seeing somebody else sing that song in that movie
and not have the recognition
of doing one of the most incredible vocals ever...
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And now, for you to kind of reveal yourself to the world,
it was actually one of the most incredible audition moments
I've ever experienced. I'm speechless.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you.
I'm so happy f0!' Yo"-
Timing in life is everything, and maybe this is your moment now.
Congratulations. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
# Cos every night I lie in bed
# The brightest colours fill my head
# A million dreams Are keeping me awake... #
ANT AND DEC APPLAUD Loren!
Oh, what just happened?
Can't believe... I was not expecting that. No way!
I just can't believe that happened, wow.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Doesn't get any better than that.
That was spectacular.
ALESHA: Amanda's so clever, because I was so ready to do that.
