After smashing his way to the Britain’s Got Talent finale with a spine-tingling version of Hans Zimmer’s ‘Now We Are Free’ from Gladiator, Innocent Masuku astonished the nation once more, this time with a rousing ‘Nessun dorma’.

The new star tenor controlled the stage with the classic aria from Puccini’s Turandot, delivering a show-stopping chorus of ‘Vinceros’ to wild ovation from the audience.Read more: Innocent Masuku performs hair-raising Hans Zimmer song to win a spot in Britain’s Got Talent final.

Judge Bruno Tonioli was moved to tears by his performance, which appears to have been particularly strong.

“We have to start with Bruno because he was crying like a baby,” host Ant McPartlin stated, before asking the panelist, “Can you speak?”

“I am a mess!” Tonioli agreed, wiping away tears in his eyes. “You understand why…” “This is the gold standard for tenors.”

“It means so much, and it’s not just about hitting the notes,” Bruno explained. “It’s about conveying the meaning which in Italian really is all about hope, determination, being fearless, about embracing your destiny, being unstoppable.”

Addressing Masuku personally, he stated, “Honey, you are unstoppable after this performance.” “You got it.”

His fellow judges agreed, with popstar Alesha Dixon calling him “sensational” and “otherworldly” and saying, “Whenever I sit here and listen to you sing, I feel like I’m in the presence of greatness, and I feel like I should be bowing down.”
