[musical intro]

Welcome to Britain's Got Talent.
- Pleasure to be here.

DW: Well that's very nice of you to say.
And so what are your names, boys?

My name's Charlie.
- And my name's Leondre.

And together we're Bars and Melody,
BAM.

What's the dream with you two guys?

I just wanna deliver it to you people.
I just wanna give an awesome performance.

I get ya! I get ya!

What does your Mum and Dad do,
for a job?

My Mum is a personal trainer,
and my father's a stonemason.

Stonemason!
- Yeah bro!

And you?
- My Mum's a cook in a school --

Dinner lady, yo!

And my stepdad, he owns
his own company.

He's a businessman, yeah!

Can I just say one thing?
Alesha, I love you so much.

You're my inspiration.

He fancy Alesha!
He don't like Amanda!

Amanda, you're beautiful as well.
- He is lying!

AH: Boys, can I just ask you,
what are you singing?

Well, it's Hope by Twista and Faith Evans,

but it's a bit of a twist in the rap
because I wrote it myself.

What's the song about?
- It's about anti-bullying.

Anti-bullying.
- Yes.

It's something that I feel deeply about.

I started rapping because I went through
a very hard time in primary school.

I was gettin' bullied.

As a parent, it's one of the hardest things,
to see your child upset

and going through emotional turmoil.
It is hard. Very hard.

When I used to be, like, down in
the dumps, I used to write down my rap.

I could express myself through
what I was writin' down.

Mother: I was very happy
with the way Leondre dealt with it.

He actually stood up to the bully,
and resolved the situation.

I moved schools and, uh,
much better environment for me.

I love school.

I really do love school.
It's amazing.

I'm very proud of him. Very proud.

The first time we met, we really clicked.
It was just an automatic connection,

that I didn't think it'd be like that.
- We're brothers.

Charlie: I think music's made him
a lot stronger.

If it wasn't for his music, he wouldn't be
as confident and as cheeky, y'know?

It just helps him a lot.

We really want people to listen,
and hear our lyrics that are in our song.

SC: OK, good luck.
BAM: Thank you!

[applause and cheering]

They've got the whole place on their feet!

[crowd chants "Push that gold"]

They want the gold buzzer!

Amazing!

Thank you so much!
- Thank you everyone, so much.

Bless them!

Seems like we hardly need to
critique you, it went so well.

But let's have some comments.
Amanda.

I'm just so happy for you.
Your voice is beautiful.

We all were in tears.
Well done.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

The minute you started that verse,
it actually brought a tear to my eye.

It was really, really moving.

Alesha, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't
be rapping, so yeah, thank you so much.

Aw, that's really sweet.

For two young kids like yourself
to come out

and sing about something that
really affects you,

and do it in a style that's completely
yours, is a really rare thing.

That's why you got that golden buzzer today.
- Thank you so much.

Well, y'know what, I've heard some
monstrous songs today,

and I was just literally
losing the will to live.

You know what ...
I listened to every word.

Did this stuff happen in your life?

I got bullied a bit when I was younger.
- But not any more.

Yes, it's all gone, yeah.

I think that record would be a hit.
I really do.

I really, really like you two.

Thank you so much!
- Thank you so much.

That's it! We'll see you in the live shows!

Thank you for this amazing opportunity.
Thank you.

Yes! Come here. Come here, you two.

Judges overheard: Very brave.
Amazing. Amazing.
