Simon Rolls His Eyes To Their Song Choice, Until They Start And Take His Breath Away

The Kingdom Tenors, a vocal group of dashing men, auditioned for the ninth season of Britain’s Got Talent with Josh Groban’s iconic ballad “You Raise Me Up.” At first, judge Simon Cowell wasn’t impressed with their song choice.

On the surface, the group could easily have been dismissed as just another ensemble of handsome faces dressed to impress in sharp suits, causing many in the audience, particularly the women, to swoon. Simon, in particular, seemed to doubt their vocal talents, assuming they were relying on their looks more than their ability to sing.

Their choice of song didn’t help matters. The lead singer explained they had chosen “You Raise Me Up” because of its powerful message, a ballad made famous by Josh Groban. Simon rolled his eyes—an eye-roll that signaled he thought it was a cliched pick. The expectations were low as they began their performance.

But then something extraordinary happened. The Kingdom Tenors’ rendition of the song was nothing short of breathtaking. Although the ballad was already powerful in its original form, the group managed to breathe new life into it with their flawless harmonies. The addition of their voices gave the song a raw, emotional depth, and the spiritual themes of the hymn felt more profound than ever before. By the end, not a single person in the audience had dry eyes.

Simon, realizing he had misjudged them, was forced to admit he was wrong—a rare moment for him! He praised their vocal abilities and expressed how thoroughly impressed he was. The Kingdom Tenors, of course, were beyond grateful—after all, it’s no small feat to leave Simon Cowell speechless.
