KSI gives golden buzzer
Teenager Rafferty Coope wowed the panel with a performance that blended magic and music.
During his audition, the schoolboy handed KSI a selection of cards before sitting down at the piano. He then began playing Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ — but it was the twist that truly left the room speechless.
When KSI turned over the cards he had been holding, they spelled out the word “Believe” — tying in perfectly with the song and Rafferty’s heartfelt message.
The judges were visibly emotional, with many admitting they had no idea how he had pulled off the trick.
KSI was particularly blown away. Praising the teenager, he told him: “That was incredible, man. That was just so, so good.”
Amanda Holden described him as “a lovely boy” and said the performance clearly meant so much to him, while Alesha Dixon called him “a bright light” at just 16 years old.
But before any more comments could be made, KSI reached across and slammed his Golden Buzzer — sending Rafferty straight through to the live shows.
The young performer broke down in tears as golden confetti rained down, with KSI rushing to the stage to hug him.
