Simon’s eye roll was quickly followed by a pang of regret: the moment they began to sing, the atmosphere shifted entirely.
When Collabro first stepped onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage, many in the audience couldn’t help but roll their eyes, perhaps due to the frequent appearance of boy bands on the show. However, within moments, it became evident that they had misjudged these boys.
Comprising five members – Michael Auger, Jamie Lambert, Matthew Pagan, Thomas Redgrave, and Adam Bernardo – the group had only known each other for a month prior to their audition.
Yet, their performance was nothing short of extraordinary. Singing “Stars” from the musical Les Misérables, they earned a well-deserved standing ovation from the crowd.
Their success didn’t stop there. Collabro went on to win the series in 2014 and were subsequently signed to Simon Cowell’s record label, Syco Music.
Since then, they have released multiple albums and embarked on extensive tours across the UK and Europe, consistently performing to sold-out audiences.
Collabro has undoubtedly become one of the most successful musical groups to emerge from a talent show.
