What makes her father’s reaction so much more touching is the fact he’d just received a cancer diagnosis, but never told his family until after the BGT finale so as to not take away from his little girl’s moment. The cancer ended up being terminal, but he got to see his little girl shine, and you can it in his eyes that the emotions he shows is more than just fatherly pride.
She is a true born star. Some people work their whole lives to be half as good as she is. Some people are just born with a gift, Beau is one of those people.
Her daddy passed away peacefully, knowing his little girl was well on her way to being a star. 🥰 he was the proudest dad in the world when she sang this. Just look at his face. 🥺❤
Girl doesn't just sing it, she performs it. You can see her go in and out of character. Hope to see her one day in the West End or Broadway or something, she is amazing. RIP to her dad and peace & healing to her family.
You've summed it up beautifully. I've never seen Wicked but I felt every word she sung and in my minds eye could see her gaining her wings and her freedom.
This is 100% a Golden Buzzer worthy performance. It's such a hard song to pull off and she absolutely killed it! To have done so well at that age with this song Just screams pure talent.
I Have to say this: To me,The newly powerful Wicked Witch,When she was doing that song,Out of defiance.....It was literally like The Witch was ROARING out of defiance,and also roaring "YOU CAN`T STOP ME NOW.....THIS IS MY FREEDOM!" ...Yeah,THIS song was her being the WITCH that ROARED!
I don’t know why, but this always makes me want to cry. How confident she becomes and the way she ends the song with that look of determination…chills.
Beau owns this song. I’ve listened to other versions hoping to experience a similar intensity and they are so limp by comparison. An extraordinary interpretation from someone so young.
I never get sick of watching this. Is she a Broadway star yet The minute the song starts she just... changes. She looks up at those lights and is suddenly a star. She belongs on a stage. She belongs under those lights.
Id say that he had rehearsed with her many times, cadence, phrasing, with the music and helping her with rhythm..being where fathers should be, with his daughter all the way. heard he had died and I am so sorry. He must have been an exceptional man.
+Follow Keith Indeed. How fortunate it was that Beau unknowingly provided the 'spontaneous' opportunity for a 'beloved' t.v. personality to demonstrate real BGT values by displaying her 'talented' backside.
So sad to see her father in the audience. He's dying, but he hasn't told Beau about it yet because he didn't want it weighing her down during the performance. Within a year, he was gone. But look at his face; he's so proud of her.
Looks a bit deeper than simply going into character. She's connecting that that intangible "it". You see it in more than just a few young talents these days.
I went to see wicked on the weekend and when I heard define gravity I automatically thought of Sara...the hairs stood up on my neck...her voice is so amazing she has mastered it to a T...so sad to hear about her father I know he is really proud of her 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽
I can't count the times I have listened to this performance and get goosebumps. She does it extremely well, and its one of my all time favs to listen to. I feel for her losing her dad to Cancer. I have had a few friends and family pass away from it. I always listen to this as a tribute to them trying to Defy Gravity
I am so glad to see you said flying because among all the beautiful talent she has I love watching her arms; to me they are part of the message and she is definitely flying free.
Vitaliq, I understand your comment. The purpose of the flights is to 'do her own thing, to defy things which weight her down'. In doing so, her freedom is expressed through flight (I see her as a butterfly) with no ties of life's demands we are all weighted under; when to go to bed, when to eat. Work is in the picture also even if you don't like your job. All the rules; there are so many. She is lucky to freely defy these chains of life. Thanks for reminding me of this; I was caught up in the beauty of her flight. I should have supported her by exposing her message.
Watching him mouth the words with her is the best. You know he didn't actually care about the song, he cared about his girl. He loved that song because his daughter loved it, and because it brought out the best of he.
guys i think it is just an expression, ,why most of you considering as labeling, kind of these opinions make the world as battlefield. enough with this chauvinism.
I've seen this so many times and all these years later, a little girl with a defiant look of accomplishment still inspires an old lady to defy gravity. Thank you, sweetheart ❤
Who still watch this video in 2020??😬I've watched it over and over again but still get tears and goosebumps 😂 who else?....and thank you for the likes😇❣️
I have watched this over 100 times and she is so SOOO amazing. Most beautiful voice on a 12 yr old girl! First watching I was blown away by her. Absolute perfection.
She COMPLETELY transformed when she started to sing. This child was MADE for Broadway. The expression. The projection. The theatrics. The small spark of insanity. Amazing.

@@sophiepitt456 I remember people judging her as spoilt based on her body language when she was on bgt. I was puzzled as to how they could judge so much off a tv screen.
After listening to other versions of the song I felt compelled to come back and applaud a phenomenal performance by the 12 year old. She is just amazing ❤❤❤❤❤ What a voice!!!!
That is exactly wat I thought listening to this song. Even the 1st time I Hurd it I though,,, Disney, Disney needs to get this little girl to be the main female characters singing voice for sure 100% positive everyone would enjoy that.
I love this audition and have listened to it many times. For Beau's incredible talent and also a tiny bit for those little girls in the audience, lol. Especially the one on the left as you face them who is so overwhelmed with excitement it completely explodes from her, while her friend looks at her as if to say "you alright there, mate?"
Its weird that out of all professional or unprofessional rendition of this song (or even the original), this one's ny favorite. Maybe because, her spirit as a child gave a different soul to the song and a different hit that you can feel right through the heart. Pure, powerful yet serene.
Oh my gosh, what a voice for a twelve year old girl. She could sing for Disney any day. A beautiful audition for Beau. She'll go far with her singing. And she got the golden buzzer!!!
I’ve watched this time and time again! For me, it’s THE best GOLDEN BUZZER there is! She transforms from a nervous 12 year old into a professional as soon as the music starts! 🥰🥰
Very impressed with Beau Dermott. From her 12 years old, she equals and surpasses adult singers. To me ( and many users around the world ! ), Beau DERMOTT is the real winner of Britain's Got Talent 2016. A big THANK YOU Beau-tiful. I wish you all the best. Please never give up the stage, your voice/gift brings and will bring happiness to us ;-)
I don't know if I've ever heard a song sung so well that it gave me chills virtually the entire time.....absolutely sensational by this youngster. I've probably watched this performance hundreds of times over the past few years and never get tired of it! SENSATIONAL.....I am soooo proud of her and I don't even know her! LOL
Beau is absolutely AMAZING!! I can watch her performance over & over...and I have. She will definitely be going places in her life. Congratulations Beau!!
it's probably because they've got the music at home and she rehearses it all the time. they're also musical fans. You can see it with how passionate they are with that song.
I love this!!! I don't know how many times I've seen this but I get the same feeling every time. Goosebumps all around and her Dad's reaction always gets me.
Things that make her and this so awesome: 1. Her voice! Oh my God! 2. The fact that this is one of the hardest musicals songs ever! 3. The fire in her eyes!
Aaron Lechliter I know. I wrote my comment in most positive way. Maybe I should have chosen better words to compare how great she is. When she talked, she was just a simple, shy 12yrs old girl. But the moment she started to sing.....wow. I was speachless. It is not only her amazing voice, everything about her when she sings is special. She is a real talent, she was born to perform on stage.
It's fitting Beau chose a Broadway melody because she is a performer not a singer. As soon as the music started the nervous young girl disappeared and a strong, determined and immensely talented young woman appeared. It was amazing, the dramatic movements to accentuate certain notes, the low to high range and the gasps that are part of sweeping Broadway musicals were jawdropping and gave me, just as the judge, goosebumps. I've seen some great singers and been blown away by some unexpected voices but none were on a par with Beau. As stated there are those unexpected voices that surprise you all the way through. However with Beau the surprise lasted for merely a moment because it became clear that she OWNED that song, she commandeered the stage and had the audience in the palm of her hand. I've watched the vid several times now and it WOWs me each time. I hope she won. Let me also thank AY.
Thank you IM. I see you have an avatar whilst most of us ninnies have letters. Shame she didn't win, but talent like hers, once it's showcased will get her attention and eventually work. There's a vid of her singing Memory from a year earlier on another talent show. I figure she has a kind of opera/Broadway mix.
I would've said not JUST a singer, because, clearly, incontrovertibly, the girl has pipes like extremely few her age, and many older pro singers. Small distinction, but noteworthy.
As a singer, I admit to being the most harsh critic, especially female vocals. This is by far the best performance I have ever seen! I keep coming back-can’t watch it enough-and I experience the same amazement each time!
I love Simon's expression right before the music starts, like he's trying to hide a grimace because he's expecting a complete train wreck. The second time we see him he's moved to "hmmm", and the third time you can see he knows she's got it.
@@barry1369 Man that little bitty girl gone be one big, big star........I don't think her shyness is a flaw or drawback...makes her even more charming, sweet and adorable....She can have it all..... she's got so damned much going for her.... She's a beautiful little girl, so she's definitely going to be one gorgeous, beautifulb,knockout of a woman when she's grown.....for sho she's got GREAT, GREAT, supportive Mama and Daddy....easy to tell how proud they both are of her....got pure love for her....and, OF COURSE....THAT VOICE!!!!! It's beautiful now, and it's only going to get more powerful.....The only thing that could hurt her (unforeseen events of course excepted) is if she herself gets into trouble somehow.......Especially with getting with the wrong man....some bastard who'd mess her up without giving a damn....that would hurt seeing her losing her innocence like that....But I'll be hoping and praying for her..... SHE'S ABSOLUTELY SUPERBE!!!!!!
She has a classic 'show' voice and that is pretty much the same thing as Disney look for in their singers. She'll be all over London's West End and maybe even Broadway when she grows up, it's perfect for her.
I can't help myself watching this video again and again. I can't move on, on her performance😂. She's really defying gravity.😄👏 thanks for sharing Anthony!👍

Exactly what I was thinking
You are so right, she is phenomenal!!
When she started singing literally something changed within her.....the goosebumps are real
Steffy Mathew quite literally
All of a sudden she put her game face on at 1:47. The transformation was striking.
She definitely has a Broadway voice.
Maybe . Like a Liza M perhaps . We don't know what we don't know though !
Many many 1,000,000's would *NEVER* see her on *BROADWAY*
Try a TV special or record deal or a short video *(LIKE MTV "WAS")*
I wish they would hire her for west end shows she has got the voice
she is my cuz so
She has a very full voice. I think opera could be a nice fit depending on her range
65 years old and her performance still makes me cry every single time
Same ❤
Same here
I never get sick of watching this. Is she a Broadway star yet
The minute the song starts she just... changes. She looks up at those lights and is suddenly a star. She belongs on a stage. She belongs under those lights.
You mean West End, right?
wrong side of the pond, darling. It's West End for her.
The bad thing is that not even a dog will bark at them in a few years
Broadway doesn’t deserve her
I love how her dad is mouthing the words along with her. So sweet. She's amazing!!
So much is put out there about dads. Fathers. But there are so many great and marvelous one.
Her dad sadly passed away a couple of years ago
Id say that he had rehearsed with her many times, cadence, phrasing, with the music and helping her with rhythm..being where fathers should be, with his daughter all the way. heard he had died and I am so sorry. He must have been an exceptional man.

I love how her dad sings with her. Pure proud Dad!
He probably had no choice but to learn the words - imagine how many times he heard her practicing this around the house lol
she goes from kid to singer when the music starts, you can see the change, so sad to see dad passed away, but he got to see this

Once the music started, she immediately became a professional singer. It is incredible.

Yea..saw that too. As soon as that song started she just went in Zen and it just became part of her.

As the music starts, you can see her whole face change as if she's gone into character. Phenomenal!

Not only that, she ages at least 10 years on the spot. Artistic possession. She embodies the song. Brilliant.

The sky cracked open when she started singing...her voice is impossibly good.
It's 2022 and here we are, again! This girl will be a full grown professional world famous singer and we will still be listening to this
I’ve watched this time and time again!
For me, it’s THE best GOLDEN BUZZER there is! She transforms from a nervous 12 year old into a professional as soon as the music starts! 🥰🥰
Agreed the GOAT of golden buzzers
Who watch this more than 4 times 🤔🤔
6...so far...
Uhhh... i lost count a long time ago... i watched the audition when it first came out after all... and im still here...
10+ she´s awesome
여기염 !!
I love the way. That when the music starts she is there. That is her song
This young lady deserves stardom. This is the kind of voice and real talent that deserves recognition instead of all the autotune!!
I agree with you I hate autotune this is her voice
Diwash1 jjallk
I've watched this performance a loooot of times already, but still getting me on goosebumps everytime.
She’s 17 now. She needs to come to the States and perform on Broadway. She’s that good.
The new Disney princess! ❤️
I was thinking the same thing omg
Right?
That's what I said 😍😍😂
disney fan, me say YES
alice laing YES PLEASE!!
Very impressed with Beau Dermott. From her 12 years old, she equals and surpasses adult singers. To me ( and many users around the world ! ), Beau DERMOTT is the real winner of Britain's Got Talent 2016. A big THANK YOU Beau-tiful. I wish you all the best. Please never give up the stage, your voice/gift brings and will bring happiness to us ;-)
Thank you Eden i will pass the comments on to Beau :-)
Beau has been attending singing lessons with Joanne Edwards at StagePro Academy for since 2011
Merci.
Happy Holidays ;-)
I don't know if I've ever heard a song sung so well that it gave me chills virtually the entire time.....absolutely sensational by this youngster. I've probably watched this performance hundreds of times over the past few years and never get tired of it! SENSATIONAL.....I am soooo proud of her and I don't even know her! LOL
Still one of my favourite ever BGT performances. This lass is phenomenal.
That was a concert not contest!
Goran Lesendric this was not a concert..it was a crowning..
@@masonbooth2363 I agree :)
That was a musical
👍👍👍👍
BINGO!
I like how her voice is much more mature than her age. It's got more weight to it than a typical child's voice. She's got a future in music.
Mo Poppins yep
Mo Poppins- She has a future in Broadway.
Yes, and she's a real performer 👍
Well-put, Mo!
*500+ times watching BEAU DERMOTT...A GOD GIVEN TALENT*
Beau is absolutely AMAZING!! I can watch her performance over & over...and I have. She will definitely be going places in her life. Congratulations Beau!!
That fierce gaze at the end of that last note just stops my heard every time I watch this. She is a natural star.
No kidding. She *knows* she nailed it. My favorite part of the entire clip is those 2-3 seconds.
Not just nailed it but a slam windmill dunk from the free throw line.
She knows she just absolutely nailed it. That's the look of "yes, I f**king did"
I love the way her father is mouthing the words along with her to help her through it.....AS IF SHE NEEDED HELP!
Ron Richo I think he was just singing with her
it's probably because they've got the music at home and she rehearses it all the time. they're also musical fans. You can see it with how passionate they are with that song.
That's her brother mouthing the words, dad's backstage w/mum.
That's her brother mouthing the words, dad's backstage w/mum.
Her daddy has since passed away from cancer , you can see the love and pride in his eyes x RIP
What a powerful voice for a 12 year old. I'm amazed.
I love this!!! I don't know how many times I've seen this but I get the same feeling every time. Goosebumps all around and her Dad's reaction always gets me.
Things that make her and this so awesome:
1. Her voice! Oh my God!
2. The fact that this is one of the hardest musicals songs ever!
3. The fire in her eyes!
ECN Her mannerisms, her voice, everything was absolutely incredible! I can't wait to see what's in store for the young lady.
the fire in herz ezes. in one moment by the very end she looked like possessed. I've seen the devil in her eye
ECN ttt
antonela bakavic it's called attitude which is something you have to have in stage performance
Aaron Lechliter I know. I wrote my comment in most positive way. Maybe I should have chosen better words to compare how great she is. When she talked, she was just a simple, shy 12yrs old girl. But the moment she started to sing.....wow. I was speachless. It is not only her amazing voice, everything about her when she sings is special. She is a real talent, she was born to perform on stage.
It's fitting Beau chose a Broadway melody because she is a performer not a singer. As soon as the music started the nervous young girl disappeared and a strong, determined and immensely talented young woman appeared. It was amazing, the dramatic movements to accentuate certain notes, the low to high range and the gasps that are part of sweeping Broadway musicals were jawdropping and gave me, just as the judge, goosebumps. I've seen some great singers and been blown away by some unexpected voices but none were on a par with Beau. As stated there are those unexpected voices that surprise you all the way through. However with Beau the surprise lasted for merely a moment because it became clear that she OWNED that song, she commandeered the stage and had the audience in the palm of her hand. I've watched the vid several times now and it WOWs me each time. I hope she won. Let me also thank AY.
She came in fifth by popular vote. I'd have voted for her!
Thank you IM. I see you have an avatar whilst most of us ninnies have letters. Shame she didn't win, but talent like hers, once it's showcased will get her attention and eventually work. There's a vid of her singing Memory from a year earlier on another talent show. I figure she has a kind of opera/Broadway mix.
Not a singer, well now, that is your opinion not mine. Not all singers can sing every song to its limit.
Well she's performed with the London Philharmonic and is on tour this year.
I would've said not JUST a singer, because, clearly, incontrovertibly, the girl has pipes like extremely few her age, and many older pro singers.
Small distinction, but noteworthy.
Still love listening to her
As a singer, I admit to being the most harsh critic, especially female vocals. This is by far the best performance I have ever seen! I keep coming back-can’t watch it enough-and I experience the same amazement each time!
Sexist
I love Simon's expression right before the music starts, like he's trying to hide a grimace because he's expecting a complete train wreck. The second time we see him he's moved to "hmmm", and the third time you can see he knows she's got it.

March 2019
I can't believe I'm actually back here to listen to you sing it all over again, Beau. What a talented young lady you are!
Drew hahahah. I probably watched this one over 100 times. And it never gets old.
April 2019 Drew 😁😁😁
May 2019.....and every view is as good as the first view.
June 2019!!! Amazing!!!
August 2019
Its 2021 and I'm here, every year I come to watch her 🙃 what a beautiful voice
2023 Me too. I watched this about 100 times too
This is the literal definition of “she did that” lol
The most humble people are always the most talented and 99% of the time" don't even know how good they really are!
What a lovely and talented child. Seeing her late father with her before he past is especially touching.
Awww... I watched this video so many times, but why am I still crying? 😭❤️👏🏻🙌🏻

pause 04:16

Adler Sands 420 dank kush

No room for correction or coaching.
FLAWLESS!
Sweet, beautiful little girl.....AND BOY, WHAT A VOICE!!!!!!!!!
Not a fan of songs like that but she fucking killed it. Made it her own
@@barry1369 Man that little bitty girl gone be one big, big star........I don't think her shyness is a flaw or drawback...makes her even more charming, sweet and adorable....She can have it all..... she's got so damned much going for her.... She's a beautiful little girl, so she's definitely going to be one gorgeous, beautifulb,knockout of a woman when she's grown.....for sho she's got GREAT, GREAT, supportive Mama and Daddy....easy to tell how proud they both are of her....got pure love for her....and, OF COURSE....THAT VOICE!!!!! It's beautiful now, and it's only going to get more powerful.....The only thing that could hurt her (unforeseen events of course excepted) is if she herself gets into trouble somehow.......Especially with getting with the wrong man....some bastard who'd mess her up without giving a damn....that would hurt seeing her losing her innocence like that....But I'll be hoping and praying for her..... SHE'S ABSOLUTELY SUPERBE!!!!!!
She's really brilliant. She also sounds alike to Disney's type of songs
That's whats she should do, be big future for her.
Not really Disney though...:
She has a classic 'show' voice and that is pretty much the same thing as Disney look for in their singers. She'll be all over London's West End and maybe even Broadway when she grows up, it's perfect for her.
She will be in Brodway.
4 years on and people are still commenting. Damn.
And she is brilliant
I am.......Beau was brilliant & sang the song beautifully ❤❤❤👏👏👏
That's just how good she was. This was a performance that I'll never forget. 💕
yup
I literally have gone to school with her for the past 4 years. So sad she’s going off now. She’ll be so phenomenal 💓💓
Who’s still listening in 2022 ??
I love Simon's proud smile towards the end. "Well done, kid. Well done."
I can't help myself watching this video again and again. I can't move on, on her performance😂. She's really defying gravity.😄👏
thanks for sharing Anthony!👍
***** Thank You so much for the full video! I love her voice!!
me too😂😂 she's so amazing...and im just like the little girl who screamed and say push the golden buzzer...👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
Joy Castroverde : me too.. even until now
Splendidly Bright.......She is just a star....Perfect Parenting....
I have to say I had a tear in my eye, cracking voice
