Boybands are a common sight on Britain’s Got Talent, so when Collabro first stepped onto the stage, some audience members couldn’t help but roll their eyes. However, within seconds, it became clear that these young performers were anything but ordinary.

At the time of their audition, the five members—Michael Auger, Jamie Lambert, Matthew Pagan, Thomas Redgrave, and Adam Bernardo—had only known each other for about a month. Despite their short time together, their performance was nothing short of breathtaking. Their rendition of Stars from Les Misérables left the audience in awe, earning them a well-deserved standing ovation.

That performance was just the beginning of their incredible journey. After winning the competition in 2014, Collabro signed with Simon Cowell’s label, Syco Music. Since then, they have released multiple albums and toured extensively across the UK and Europe, frequently performing to sold-out crowds.

Collabro has undoubtedly become one of the most successful musical acts to emerge from a talent show. Their journey is proof that true talent can shine through even the toughest competition. Watch their stunning audition below and share your thoughts with us on Facebook!
