My daughter's teacher, she says he's as wonderful in person as he came across during the audition :) So many of his students watched it tonight, they even started a "fanclub" WhatsApp group, he was truly brilliant!

He looks like a disney character come to life. Such pure innocent down to earth with a beautiful voice.

Thumbs up if you think Tom’s version is better than the original

I'd go to his concert. I'd buy his album. I'd play it on repeat when I'm having a bad day. That is a voice that can make me smile.

There’s something very likeable about him.

That voice, that humility, that sweetness, those eyebrows…I love this kid!!

Respect to his father. He believed in him when and cheered at start when he was nervous. And, when crowd started cheering, he didn't showed his happiness till the end. That's how fathers are. And what a lovely lad Mr. Tom Ball is !

I hate when the audience immediately claps and you can’t hear the singer

This guy should sing for a future James Bond movie.

Never judge a book by its cover, because it's what's on the inside that counts. Excellent audition, you can tell he's a caring person.

How could that Guy NOT win BGT? Are you British all drunk there ? He will Rock the all Stars. Just listen Sound of Silence and remember what have you done. Greetings from Germany.

This man deserves three golden buzzers! One for each eyebrow and one for the vocal.

If he stops to work as teacher, this would be a huge loss for school/kids. We need teachers like him.

That look simon gives when he thinks someone is going to be crap but is stunned when they turn out to be good never gets old.

How did this man not get a golden buzzer for this sensational vocal performance?

I would love Tom to win BGT but then I don't want him to give up teaching. He is the kind of man we need teaching our children. Brilliant performance!!!!

By not giving him a Golden Buzzer, we get to enjoy his Talent even more ...

Thank goodness for people like Tom Ball The world is in short supply of people like him.

I can never understand why the audience can't just listen first and then go mad. He is singing his heart out but the drown it with their clapping and screaming. That's what I appreciate about asian and eastern European audiences.nthey respect the artist first and then clap.

The voice singing the next James Bond theme song👍👍

He’s my drama teacher SO WELL DONE SIR!!!!!!

Such a sweet, charismatic, humble guy! Blew my mind away with his singing. He was robbed of the golden buzzer IMO! I'm in tears every time I watch his performance, pure talent x

Tom Ball's version (especially his voice) of the song is more beautiful than the original Singer. 100 % worthy of the Golden Buzzer.

His “life” is a golden buzzer. You can tell everywhere he goes, he lifts people’s spirits. What a fantastic talent. Bravo Tom. I hope you win in all. I’d change my stage name to “Tumble”.

That is not an easy song to sing, and he killed it! I love when good things happen to good people. He really seems like a genuinely kind person, and I’m so excited to see his next performances!

His breathing, vibrato, control, tone, and transitions to falsetto and back are smooth and excellent - great rendition of a classic bond theme!

Everything about this audition is fabulous and what lucky children to have this young man in education.

My mum works with him😂😂 he’s a really lovely guy with a great soul, should’ve won!

That dudes eyebrows are a talent all in themselves!

I was hoping for a golden buzzer, but in a way, I'm glad he didn't because we can hear more of his singing. Beautiful voice.

Should have gotten the golden buzzer

When Susan Boyle auditioned Amanda said at the time that everyone was being cynical and it was the biggest wake up call ever. The judges and the audience never seem to learn though.

Simon learned his lesson when he doubted Susan Boyle. This man is amazing! Unique! And still a pure man. Blushing is a sign of sincerity and innocence

Proud dad clapping for his son. Such a nice guy.

I think the world has fallen in love with him! He is so charismatic, and his presence is outstanding, but that voice! That voice no one could EVER come closer to being better than him, imho🎼🎶. ❤🇺🇲

Did a show with Tom in 2015 and again in 2019. Genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever met

Stunning voice combined with just a great personality. Hard to justify not giving him the golden buzzer.

We must protect him at all costs. He is a perfect human being.

Absolutely brilliant‼️🙌🏼 How many persons here watched it over and over and over⁉️

His falsetto is perfect!

I’m still FUMING that Tom didn’t get the golden buzzer, yet the American professional singer did? What a lovely lad with a wonderful voice.

I can’t believe he didn’t get the golden Buzzer. He’s amazing.

I was caught off guard seeing him in AGT All Stars. BGT fans really dropped the ball on him.

Such a special video. I've already watched it a number of times. Hard to pick a favorite part but the pride and love in his fiancée's face when she looks at him at 5:30 is pretty powerful. Well done!

Tom Ball better damn well make it to the finals cause this captures everyone's heart and he a star

I LOVE it when you're able to get Simon grinning from ear to ear. The other judges are just fluff but it really all comes down to Simon Cowell. This kid is golden. I really felt the emotional connection to him and the song. I listened to this 3 times and the last two with my eyes closed.

He should have got a golden buzzer. Best vocal I've heard on this show.

Finally a Legend is born to make this world witness the true beauty of music.

Can't believe he did not get the golden buzzer

I love how Simon was a bit exasperated at the beginning. Maybe the audition before Tom went poorly. But from the first line of the song, Tom took everyone's breath away. I love seeing Simon's mood change. What a voice!

His dad looks so proud of him, fantastic audition.

The making of a Superstar, just like Susan Boyle, didn't win but won a zillion of hearts around the universe. Go Tom Ball, smash the world over. 👍💪⭐

It was a Susan Boyle moment… he was so underestimated and then blew the roof off🤩

Such a difficult song to sing, he was amazing. Surprised he didn't get a golden buzzer!? 🤷‍♂️

I like the way that his dad and his fiancée support him and have such faith in him. 😊😊

2:53 is just so beautifully sang. I love the original song but wow, I think I might like Tom's powerful version a little more! What an amazing singer.

He should have gotten a Gold Buzzer.

Wonderful, humble man, with an exceptional voice. I love that he’s a teacher. I bet his students adore him. He radiates kindness.

Oh,, I can't listen him enough, such a voice, I think he sang this song much better then the original one,

The man was born to sing.A rare thing in an industry where so many obviously are not...Why he didn't get that gold buzzer, I'll never understand ..

I’ve got goosebumps. That was incredible. Seeing his dad and his fiancée holding their breath was so lovely.

Look at them trying to take the mick out of him frist, he shut them all up with raw talent lol 😂

I have watched this over so many times. The commitment that this young man brings to his talent is just wonderful to listen to. Well done Tom & thank you for sharing your gift🌞❤️

When Simon doesn't stop a performer at the beginning of their act, then one knows they at least have a fighting chance to make it further. Wonderful, glorious voice, and I know he's going further because I accidentally heard his second performance---"Live and Let Die''---before I heard this one.

Look how proud his father was. Got me in tears.

He is so humble, yet immensely talented. He has a very beautiful voice that was delivered effortlessly.

Simon: There is something very likable about you. Me: Yes, he is the cutest! Those eyes, that smile, the hair, the voice (both speaking and singing), and even the eyebrows!

When he said "Thomas Ball, Tom Ball Yeah Yeah" I know he could be a top rapper too 😎

I don’t think that is even his Best song to show off his voice and talent! Well done Tom Ball!

As it turns out, Mr Ball is our Drama teacher! I was so shocked when I saw this on TV. Well done!!!

I was expecting the golden buzz for him! He did amazing!

Amazing audition . His amazing range and breathe control and the heartfelt emotion are exceptional . Very special voice .

a warm likable person with an arresting voice. I hope he becomes big and stays the same person.

The kids will never forget this teacher so humble and so talented was moved by this Version of the song. Good luck young man, you will go far, my love and prayers always for your success. SJ

The perfect voice to sing James Bond theme songs !!! Love him !!!

That little look in Simons face after the first line, you just knew this is going to be special

I can totally see old TOM here recording the next James Bond mega hit because it does have an essence of an epic valid and his voice is magnificent.

The judges were expecting him to fall flat on his face with his performance as you could tell on their faces , but he showed them , and nailed it ! In my eye's he should have had the golden buzzer , instead of giving it to some well known American singer, who sang a track from The greatest Showman , he was robbed , well done Tom 👏

can not belief he did not win, such a voice

Hes extremly likeable and what a wonderful voice. I can't help but picture him in the dark ages clothing.

Only few people know how rich this guy is in life. He teaches as a hobbie. So humble too. Am inspired.

Tom finishes the last note. Several beats of stunned silence from the crowd. Tom takes a deep breath and exhales. The audience erupts in a huge cheer. Wow. What a moment.

The best singer to ever came out of the Shire! Go Tombo Baggins!

Love the change in Simon. He is enjoying life more and much kinder to the contestants.

He seems a good human being...and that's what impressed me...a humble guy

Not been so impressed with an audition in a long while! Deserved a golden buzzer!!!

I love this guy he's the best one on this show this year and that's a fact

O.M.G. I missed this audition ( sadly). but that voice reaches deep into the soul of anyone who appreciate TRUE talent. Voice of an angel 😇

Well done, Tom. Can you imagine the kids in his class knowing him, and now the world knows him? He did a fantastic job, and Simon was receptive to him. Which in itself is a little miracle 🤔 ✨️

Tom should have got the golden buzzer instead the two others who already have high profile careers, he was robbed. Absolutely amazing.

Tears all over, I love you Tom. And it's more your touching energy than your beautiful voice. There is so much potential in humans. We're worth living in this evolution of life in this uni-verse.

His humility is incredible. Almost unfazed by being told he’s amazing.

Aside from all the ignorant comments about looks, YOU ABSOLUTELY ROCK!!! The world needs more people like you! So humble and genuine with a heavenly voice! Good luck, Tom!!!

That is such a hard song to sing and he moves through his range effortlessly like a seasoned pro

The singing cat in BGT this year it’s him.😘 OMG he has an amazing voice👏🏼👏🏼 Wow good luck😘👏🏼👏🏼

What an amazing singer and I would pay any amount to see him live..blew me away! Go for it Tom.

great voice needs a record deal let's hope he gets one.

The BEST version of this song, so emotional, he brought tears to my eyes. A STAR!

I repeated this song like 10times I couldn't get enough of this song such a sweet soul

Spectacular.... he seems like he could sing the theme song for the James Bond movies he's perfect
