It was the best performance on stage by Sarah Njoki Ikumu Gatoto of Milton Keynes. She is the daughter of Pastor Alex Gatoto and Mrs. Ikumu originally from Kenya.
Sarah Ikumu goes straight to the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent as she becomes Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer act. The 15-year-old singer blows everyone away with her rendition of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”.When a nervous Sarah Ikumu took to the Britain’s Got Talent stage, we had no idea what was about to happen.
Out of nowhere, this incredible voice builds and builds to deliver arguably the best performance of the night in BGT’s first episode and became Simon’s Golden Buzzer act. The 15-year-old might be in Year 11 and studying for her GCSEs, but in this Saturday’s episode she delivers a staggering rendition of the song made famous by Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls – a song described by Simon Cowell as “one of the biggest songs in the world”.
Just moments after she finished singing, Simon reached over and hit his Golden Buzzer for the teenager, sending her straight into the live semi-finals. “Sarah, I’ve heard this song a lot,” explained Simon. “And it started off really well…and then it’s like you became possessed half way through.
It was quite incredible, and for someone of your age to stand on this stage with all the nerves and all the pressure, to absolutely – not just nail the song – you made it your song.” Amanda said she was “absolutely thrilled” that Sarah got the Golden Buzzer, while Alesha said she wasn’t allowed to have that much talent at such a young age. “It’s insane,” she said.
“I want you to go far and I think Simon can help you because you are a superstar.” The said that being Cowell’s Golden Buzzer act was a “dream come true” and that he was the one she wanted to impress.
