Jamie Lee Harrison, 24, from Newcastle stepped onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage in Blackpool after a chaotic day of auditions. He sang in pubs and clubs, but recently he hit a brick wall and almost gave up, as many people told him he did not have it in him.
His mum, his rock, was waiting by the phone at home. Then Jamie began R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts”, and his soft, soulful voice filled the theater with real emotion. 🎶
The judges were moved. One said he was the first act of the day who could become a star beyond the show, and Simon said this was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Jamie got four yeses and could hardly believe it. Minutes later he was sharing the news with his mum. The singer who almost quit had saved the day in Blackpool. ❤️
