she didn’t audition she performed. this was her concert. i’m so glad the world knows who she is

Can you imagine being in the audience? She announces she's the voice behind that song, she starts singing, and then you're just like, "Damn! I didn't know I got tickets to 'The Greatest Showman' in concert!"

She’s right. This is HER song. Not just a song from a movie. This song puts her in the map

She definitely deserved that standing ovation. I found myself putting my phone down, standing up and joining the crowd to give her the same honor. She is fantastic. Go girl 😊😊

She is so humble. She deserved the Golden Buzzer. No argument

You can tell how nervous she was but really opened up, she slayed so hard

This was a COMPLETE privilege hearing her sing this song!!!

She’s on a level that others can’t touch

It’s really sad how singers that do the work behind the scenes don’t get the recognition they deserve. I’m so glad she got this opportunity to showcase herself

Her face, her makeup, her smile, her hair, her outfit, her voice, her personality, everything so perfect! I'm a fan.

I cried soo hard, the way she glowed, shine. The humility, the beauty. Soo perfect

This was absolutely her moment and she deserved every second of it. Now that’s what you call stage prescence

Notice how the judges reactions weren't over the top as they normally are when a super talented singer shows up, because they knew what she was capable of, and they just sat there and soaked it in! Really appreciating her voice

i didn’t even realize she was singing it in a different key. she sounds incredible

and now she did the best song for Final Fantasy Ever!!! so awesome her voice! hope we will here a lot more from her

Loren is OUT of this world, she's powerfully magnificent!!!!!!

Imagine how lucky everyone in the audience was to be in her concert.

The amazing part is that this somewhat mirrors the movie. Most people who did a tiny bit of homework researching into the song, already knew Loren was behind the voice. But now she traveled to the UK and blew everyone away. So happy for her.

So, I had never seen The Greatest Showman, but the first time I heard Loren sing was when she actually did a song for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and it made me and probably thousands of other grown men cry profusely. Learning about her, learning about her performance in Greatest Showman, and then learning about this moment, it kinda cemented her as one of the greatest singers currently for me. She's beautiful and an incredibly talented singer. She deserves everything.

im so glad that she does the high note at the end of the song it just makes the song way better

You know it's a good one when Simon is sitting with THAT smile on his face the entire time. 20 years I've seen it, never gets old

That wasn't an audition, it was a once in a lifetime performance, no one can sing that song better than her. Epic

The golden buzzer was never enough for Loren. She will soar higher than ever.

Watching the movie now after seeing Loren perform this live and realizing that she's the voice behind the actors singing in the movie is just stunning

Absolutely obsessed with how her voice was slightly shaking in the beginning from emotion and she just manages to float over it. Her level of control over her voice is insane.

I went to school with Loren we were in the same acapella choir and she has a gentle presence with a huge talent. ❤️

This girl could sing the plants to bloom, World Class, Benchmark talent ❤

When a singer has the ability to give you goosie's and tears at the same moment then you know a true star has arrived!!! 🎶🎤⭐

The fact that she isn’t signed to a record label is crazy to me. She deserves to be at the top. That song is legendary.

This isn't a competition, it is a performance.

I love her style, so elegant!

This was two years ago, I kept coming back to this video again and again, it still brings tears to my eyes. No matter how many times I re-watch, it would never be enough.

There are millions of us who love Loren Allred . She deserves all this and much More. God bless her.

You could tell in her voice how nervous she was and she still nailed it

I've been watching auditions from Britain and America for decades and i've never comment any of them so this will be my first time telling that this is the audition of the century! 🎉 Im watching it 2-3 times a year and everytime its like watching it for the first time, everytime, and with tears and emotions going all over the place. Incredible ! 🎉

She is already become Superstar behind the scene for years, which have vocals equivalent with Diva Whitney Houston or Celine Dion...and not many people knows her until this audition... She Deserved for the Golden Buzzer 👍👍👍

This isn't a tryout. This is a straight-up performance by a pro. The crowd got a free concert performance with this one. :)

you get to see in this version the different ways she sings it for herself rather than how the directors may have wanted her to sing it for the movie... truly amazing

I believe this audition (which felt more like a concert) touched our hearts not only because Loren delivered a spectacular vocal performance but also because it resonated with our experiences of working tirelessly, only to have the credit inadvertently given to someone else. Even though Rebecca and the studio did credit Loren for her vocals, everyone still associates Rebecca Ferguson's face with the song. Having watched her even more impressive recent performance in the AGT 2024 Fantasy League, I find myself returning here (BGT 2022) occasionally to reminisce about this particular moment. In her interview for the AGT 2024 Fantasy League, Loren mentioned that although she didn't win, the experience felt validating. Winning, I believe, is not actually what she is seeking (though it's a real bonus). I think for each of us, if we don’t step out of the shadows to at least hint that we were the ones who did the hard work, we'll regret it in our lives - I admire her for her guts.

The confidence and maturity in the performance is worth a million dollars ticket

One of the greatest songs ever written performed in the most epic, beautiful and powerful performances ever! I'm so happy that she's finally getting credit for her performance.

This is not audition..this is concert 🎉❤

Golden Buzzer does not do justice to her incredible voice!! What a talented singer!! The audience witnessed and heard something absolutely special

She is freaking incredible!! I looked this up because I had a feeling the actress didn’t sing that song. Apparently I was right. I would love to hear more from Miss Lauren ❤❤❤

“Only time will tell, so time was told” Her credit was due 💚

You can see her soak in the applause because now, she finally got the recognition that she didn't get for months. That is the mark of a humble, successful person.

The reveal reminds of how we got our surprise with Susan Boyle. They are both extremely talented and I wish Loren all the best. I am so happy she is singing as Aerith in Final Fantasy 7 and that made learned about her work.

I got goosebumps even watching this on KZfaq, imagine watching this performance live!

You can tell how much she has dreamt of singing with an audience by her actions throughout the entire song. So much emotion and in that moment nothing could take away her spirit

** She’s beautiful inside and out. That within itself is a talent.

"Timing in life is everything. " And this is her moment for a million dreams❤️

He wasn't auditioning but doing a concert, where he was the star, and on stage he got what he had to get, an appreciation for a singer who the public knew his voice but didn't know the person, and finally congratulations to Loren

She's in a league of her own. She just came to grace the show. This is not a competition, it's a performance. What a performance

she sang it differently from the greatest showman version, she sang it with different sorts of passion and emotion, and this time she didn't sing it as "Jenny Lind", she sang it as "Loren Allred". What a spectacular performance.

2 years after it's still a master class...

Absolutely BREATHTAKING....it's HER showcase moment & its WELL DESERVED ‼️. BRAVO Loren 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

She came to cement her career. She didn’t need to win, she came in already victorious. Beautiful all around and well done Lori!!!!

Really seemed like a scene out of the movie. She really deserved this, not even my go to genre of music and still amazed me how well she preformed. Seriously what an incredible opportunity and time to sing this song on stage!

Her voice is so amazing. I could listen to her daily

oh my God, why am I crying ?

This woman is criminally underrated. She has one of the best voices I've ever heard.

I always love seeing how passionate Simon is about genuine talent

How is she not a huge star. Shes beautiful and her voice is somehow even more beautiful.

Wow her vocal control and those notes she can hit in just one breath... She's crazy amazing ❤ Kep1er comeback with fourth mini album “Lovestruck” title track: “Giddy” 10.04.23

One word: mesmerizing. I've watched it several times now. When she sings, I get chills, I tear up...she's just...it's magical. Just like they said...otherworldly.

She has it all talent, beauty and now recognition. It's amazing how humble she is. The best of luck for the future Lauren. God bless.

The audience are very lucky that they witness in person the Voice behind THE GREATEST SHOWMAN most applauded song Never Enough and magical moment. Didn't even notice my tears are falling.

The way this song instantly makes me bawl my eyes out, the emotional hold it has on me is INSANE. She’s unbelievable.

You can hear she’s under a lot of pressure. She deserves all the recognition.

Still watching this video. I can't believe it

For all those who object to her because she is a professional: Google others. You will find more than a fair number are either professional or professional contestants, having participated in multiple contests worldwide.

Her voice is like fireworks that explode and make you dive into the differents colours at the sky.

i really had goosebumps when she got her momentum of the song 😮😮😮and got the respect and recognition of her own son😊😊😊😊

It's not a competition 😭...... she is just sth else ...... you nailed it baby girl

Am I the only one that was emotionally moved by her voice? 🥲

The way she looked at the crowd at the end the feeling of being “blessed” was written all over her face! She should have been signed long time ago!

Simons heart was about to burst through his chest and so was mine Loren ❤ that was incredible your a Superstar and a Super gorgeous babe ❤ Thank you so much for making the journey and filling us with a performance I know I will never forget ❤

May be this is my 100th plays, I am addicted to this song. Excellent performance by Loren

Disney should hire her for Frozen 3 or something 🥺🥰 Perfect voice for a princess!

What a voice! It gives me goosebumps! I keep rewinding it just to listen to it again

This feels so unreal omggg just like a scene out of a movieeeee I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

It was her moment to shine and she deserves it ❤

The fact that this girl didn’t go anywhere after her voice graced our ears so many years ago is beyond me.

she sang with her heart, step out of her comfort zone, have a courage to tell the world "this song is meant for me that I should be proud". I know she wasn't there for being famous, she just did the right thing to do; to the world know who's behind that lovely song with beautiful voice.

....WHEN THE LEVEL OF THE EXAMINEE IS SO HIGH THAT THE JURY AND TEACHERS CAN ONLY RECOGNIZE PERFECTION 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏

Amazing song. Brilliantly sung by Loren.

This performance was straight out of a movie, she deserves more

The fact that she sang her own song - epic!

What a voice. Such a hard song to sing. Loren is an amazing singer.

She so deserve this world wide acknowledgment of her achievements … we now know the truth…

Is it just me when she started singing she sounded nervous but then overcame her nerves cause that takes a lot to do she is INCREDIBLE Edit: omg thank you for all the likes it means so much to me

Imagine that moment for her, finally getting the courage to claim herself, the recognition and affirmation for all her hard work. Inspiring to watch!

She really is an absolute powerhouse

Amazing what humans are capable of when they set positive goals.

No sob stories, no drama, just pure talent Deserves an absolute golden buzzer!

Not only is her voice amazing, she is absolutely beautiful.

Yo casi no comento,pero este video lo amerita,que mujer tan talentosa y no sabiamos de ella por que solo utilizaron su voz para la pelicula,espero que el exito la siga y muchas felicidades...!!!

I just watched some old audition of BGT and AGT. This its by far my favourite. But what I find more impressive that Simon after so many years stil gets that excited about an audition. If I compare this to German Version. Ours is a joke.

it is absurd that artists like her are underestimated, she has a fantastic voice and conveys so many emotions.

I remember watching greatest showman and thinking ‘wow she sang it so well’. Was too oblivious to realise it was someone else singing! This is so good!
