Fourteen-year-old Maya Giotea, a Romanian singer, captivated the judges on Britain's Got Talent with her performance of Beyoncé's hit song "Listen" from the film Dreamgirls. Her rendition earned her the coveted Golden Buzzer, propelling her directly to the competition's semifinals.
Judge Bruno Tonioli, visibly moved by Giotea's performance, activated the Golden Buzzer, prompting a standing ovation. He later stated that it was "the most mature and accomplished version of this song I've heard from someone so young." Amanda Holden, another judge, noted that Giotea received "the fastest Golden Buzzer in BGT history."
This is not Giotea's first experience with the Golden Buzzer. She previously received the honor on Romania's Got Talent after performing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." Giotea has expressed her passion for singing and her aspiration to work in the US music industry.
