[Britain's Got Talent jingle]
[Technician?] Very best of luck – off you go.
[Charlotte Iaconelli] OK. Thank you.
[Audience cheers]
[Simon Phillip Cowell, whispering to the person next to him] Just when you thought things couldn't be getting worse]
[Cowell] Hello.
[Jaconelli]
Hi
[Jonathan Antoine]
Hi
[Cowell]
Hi, how are you?
[Jaconelli]
I’m fine thanks, how are you?
[Cowell]
Good. Nice to met you what’s the act’s called?
[Jaconelli] Charlotte & Jonathan
[Cowell] Charlotte & Jonathan?
Okay, how old are you both?
[Jaconelli] I’m 16
[Antoine] I’m 17
[Cowell] OK. And and – you thought the combination would work, whose idea was it?
[Jaconelli] It was our singing teacher's, actually. She thought it would be good to try us out together.
And we both sounded quite good when we sang what we did.
[Cowell] Ok. Your not saying much Jonathan? Are you shy?
[Antoine] Ahhh – sometimes.
I’ve always had problems with my size, since, like, I can remember.
And when I was in, sort of, primary school, it was back then that I really had sort of had the meat taken out of me
and it kind of damaged my confidence quite a bit. When – when people would say something to me I’d just –
it would take a little piece out of me in a sense.
[Jaconelli] I’m quite protective of Jonathan like if someone
– if I was there and someone stood there and said something to him –
I wouldn’t sit – I couldn’t sit there with my mouth shut
– before you make a judgment on someone you really need to get to know them,
it’s not – it’s cliché it’s not judging a book by it’s cover – you’ve – you’be got to read what’s inside.
[Antoine] Charlotte’s been a really big help for me in terms of confidence and making me a better performer
and I really don’t think I’d be going up on stage today if I didn’t have Charlotte by my side.
[Cowell] And do you think you could win?
[Jaconelli] Ya, together, yes.
[Cowell] Alright, good luck.
[Jaconelli] Thank you
[Antoine] Thank you
[audience cheers]
[Technician?] Here we go.

[Antoine] Well, we’ve come on here as a duo – and we’re gonna stay here as a duo.
[Audience cheers]
[Cowell] Ok, David we'd better vote “Yes” or “No”?
[Walliams] Aww, such an easy decision. “Yes”.
[Antoine] Thank you
[Audience cheers]
[Amanda Holden] Definitely, a “Yes” from me.
[Audience cheers]
[Dixon] Charlotte I think you voice compliments Jonathan’s really well, so don’t be disheartened. It’s a “Yes” from me.
[Audience cheers]
[Cowell] You know my head here would say to you Jonathan dump her!
[Audience protests]
And then my heart would say there was something kind of magical moments together as well.
So, I’m gonna say “Yes” to the two of you, you got four “yes’s”
[Audience cheers]
[Antoine] Thank you
[Audience cheers]
[Technician?] Yes! Well done!
[Cowell] He's something like a Pavarotti that boy, I haven’t heard a voice like that in years.
[Walliams] To be that young and that good.
[Tech ?] Simon is a massive fan of you, isn’t he?
[Antoine] Seems like he is.
[unidentified person] That is the biggest response we had to date.
[Antoine] Wow!
