A 13-year-old boy’s voice made Simon Cowell tear up in a very unusual display of vulnerability for the famous TV judge.

Simon Cowell was brought to tears by a teenager from London during Sunday night’s (April 16) episode of Britain’s Got Talent.

13-year-old Malakai Bayoh not only shocked the veteran TV judge with his amazing singing voice, but was also awarded Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer – guaranteeing the youngster a place in the live semi-finals.

Malakai, who began singing as a chorister at St George’s Cathedral, Southwark in London when he was just 7-years-old, sang a stunning rendition of ‘Pie Jesu’ during his audition.

Cowell was spotted smiling and tearing up throughout the performance, as his fellow judge Bruno Tonioli watched the boy sing in open-mouthed shock.

When Bayoh was finished singing the captivating song, the audience and judges all erupted into a standing ovation.

As the youngster stood on stage beaming and drinking in his moment of glory, Simon Cowell smiled and winked at the boy before addressing him directly.

“If there’s any one word I could use to describe that … golden,” Cowell says, before pressing the famed Golden Buzzer.

Gold confetti rained down on a shocked Malakai, who was quickly joined on stage by Cowell who congratulated him on his performance.

“Come here,” he said as he embraced Bayoh. “How amazing was that. I mean seriously, seriously good. One of the best voices I think I’ve ever heard for someone your age. I mean this is amazing.”
