She's another person when she sings. The minute she stops she goes back to being a shy little girl. What a transformation. What a gift.

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.

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.

I have probably watched this over 100 times.

She is 100% a musical theatre future star broardway even

I'm not even kidding, this is my favorite version of "Defying Gravity"

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 never seen ANYONE, adult or child, with as much stage presence as this kid

She definitely has a Broadway voice.

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

Wherever her father is, we thank you for your beautiful daughter. 🙏🏻

It's 2020 I'm listening to this at 2am she's making quarantine so easy to handle

As the music starts, you can see her whole face change as if she's gone into character. Phenomenal! Edit: thank you for all the likes 😊

I’ve watched this audition over 100 times. My parents said I had perfect pitch and harmony tones in music. I didn’t hear one stray note. She’s unique.

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.

I'm obsessed with her pure voice. Who's here in 2021

When Simon stands up you know you won

its been 6 years but im still listening to this audition. really gives me chills evertime i hear Her voice :)

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.

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.

When she started singing literally something changed within her.....the goosebumps are real

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.

The stage presence of this little girl is so amazing. She was born to perform.

The two little girls in the audience are a hoot. This child kills it!

Who’s here in 2020??!!

65 years old and her performance still makes me cry every single time

I love how her dad sings with her. Pure proud Dad!

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've watched her 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and now 2021, (Edit) AND NOW 2022!! and I will never stop watching/listening to her magnificent voice!!

The look in her eyes at the end. She's on fire.... really good

I am so pleased to see how happy her father is. Sadly he lost his battle with cancer recently. Voice of an angel

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

Absolutely unbelievable. She is too good for BGT.

I lost count of how many times av watched it. And th proud dad s face is th cherry on top She nailed it

I absolutely love how she sings with her arms, she truly makes the audience FEEL the Gravity of the song. She's a very beautiful young lady.

I love how her dad is mouthing the words along with her. So sweet. She's amazing!!

I particularly like how her Dad sings along, unconsciously

The tears of a proud father of his wonderful daughter 🥲🥲🥲

I’m not sure about this, but from what I can see, this audition is one of the highest viewed on KZfaq. God bless her. 💕

This is the literal definition of “she did that” lol

Tragically, Beau's father has since passed away, but her mother is lovingly supportive.

She deserved that gold buzzer. She's amazing.

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.

The pride and love in her dad's face always brings tears to my eyes

When she starts singing, she is so focused, her soul enjoys and flying and dancing around. Wonderful voice!

Disney needs to cast her as the voice of a Disney princess or character......

The looks on her face while she is singing, completely transposed into someone else! She is brilliant!!!

She went to my school and was the lead of our production. She made the whole show

Who watch this more than 4 times 🤔🤔

She’s 17 now. She needs to come to the States and perform on Broadway. She’s that good.

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 ❤

Her face goes from “serious” at the start to “take that” at the end. Well deserved gold buzzer!!

She's a total disney princess.

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!!!

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!!!!

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.

She is AMAZING. She's defied gravity. Wow. She deserved that golden buzzer!

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.

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?"

her stage presence is INSANE

The show barely started and already she had won the whole thing! I love her and she is absolute amazing!

That was flawless. No room for correction or coaching. FLAWLESS!

Read through the comments on her Dad’s illness. It’s good that he was able to watch this.

The sky cracked open when she started singing...her voice is impossibly good.

The new Disney princess! ❤️

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

2023 Me too. I watched this about 100 times too

"I'm going to be singing "Defying Gravity" from the musical, Wicked..." Me, a theatre nerd: *gasps in musicals*

I love the way her father is mouthing the words along with her to help her through it.....AS IF SHE NEEDED HELP!

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! 🥰🥰

I have not heard anyone sing that song better than her. Very inspirational!

This young lady deserves stardom. This is the kind of voice and real talent that deserves recognition instead of all the autotune!!

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.

I've watched this performance a loooot of times already, but still getting me on goosebumps everytime.

What a powerful voice for a 12 year old. I'm amazed.

"Push The Golden Buzza!!!" that little girl cracks me up when she screams that, Ive been looking for this lol

Still one of my favourite ever BGT performances. This lass is phenomenal.

The most humble people are always the most talented and 99% of the time" don't even know how good they really are!

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.

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.

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

That little girl on, cracks me up. She has such passion for good talent.

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 ;-)

Oh god! THE FIRST GOLDEN BUZZER ON BGT 2016!! This girl deserves it, what a talent!

I love Simon's proud smile towards the end. "Well done, kid. Well done."

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!

4 years on and people are still commenting. Damn.

That fierce gaze at the end of that last note just stops my heard every time I watch this. She is a natural star.

Beau’s face right after nailing the last note was epic!!!

This 12 year old little girl has more stage presence, knows how to hold herself poised and beautiful, and sings better than almost 90% of Broadway out there. And my favorite part is the end flourish/I.AM.DONE smile at the end of it, hell yes

She's really brilliant. She also sounds alike to Disney's type of songs

That was a concert not contest!

*500+ times watching BEAU DERMOTT...A GOD GIVEN TALENT*

I usually have videos playing as white noise as I fall asleep and a compilation of good shy singers came on. I was dreaming when I started to hear this voice and song playing towards the end of my dream. I had no idea what was happening but I just know it sounded so lovely that I didn’t want to wake up. However I did and it was playing on my tv, so I’m happy it’s real! I’m happy she’s real! So beautiful!

She is so ready for the stage. How her body language at the end of the song was so on point. What a voice! Love her!!!

Imagine the person that has to go after this...id walk out

Still love listening to her

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!

She was nervous because that’s a very intimidating stage to be on! The fact that she nailed the song doesn’t mean she wasn’t nervous.
