Indians among 40 semi-finalists of Britain’s Got Talent 2020; Check the complete list

As many as 40 acts have made it to the Britain’s Got Talent 2020 semi-finals. But there is reason for each and every Indians as there are Indian competitors among the semi-finalists of the international talent competition.

The Indians who have been selected for the semi-final round of the Britain’s Got Talent this year include 10-year-old Souparnika Nair and 22 member dance group X1X Crew from Mumbai.

Before taking you through the 40 semi-finalists acts of the Britain’s Got Talent, you would like to speak you about the performances of the Indian competitors.

Souparnika currently lives in Bury St Edmunds. In her BGT audition, Souparnika was singing “Trolley Song” by Judy Garland. The audience along with the judges was enjoying her adorable performance of the song. However, all of a sudden Simon Cowell stopped her and asked her to sing a song from The Greatest Showman after saying that he “didn’t love the song.”

Souparnika took positivity and made proper use of the chance to show off just how powerful her voice is. As she went on to sing “Never Enough,” the audience and the judges were taken in surprise by her performances that all of them including Simon Cowell were on their feet by the end.

The minor Indian girl received rave reviews from the BGT judges. “That is a mountain of a song, and you conquered it,” David Walliams said, while Alesha Dixon said she couldn’t believe Souparnika is only 10 years old.

Amanda Holden said she loved Souparnika’s “old-fashioned voice,” adding that she “hit every single note.”

Likewise, Simon Cowell said she “absolutely nailed it,” calling her a “gutsy little thing.”

Subsequently, Souparnika received four “yes” votes from the judges.

Speaking about her audition, she said that it was the biggest thing she has ever done in my life.

Likewise, Judges and audiences of the Britain’s Got Talent were awestruck by the powerful performances of X1X Crew from India. The inspirational story and tremendous talent during their spellbinding audition got standing ovation from the judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon. Of course the audience too joined them.

The 22 member dance group from Mumbai auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent season 14 and made every Indian proud with their action-packed dance which is based on Indian culture and mixed up with hip hop.
