BRITAIN’S Got Talent singer judge Simon Cowell was overcome with emotion as he described a singer as one of the best they’d had on the show.
The Sun revealed Loren Allred found major success in the US after singing the anthem Never Enough in global hit movie The Greatest Showman.
She performed that very song on the return episode of BGT and not only got a standing ovation from all in the Dominion Theatre, but also a Golden Buzzer from the judges.
Loren impressed the judges before she even started singing.
Despite spending much of his time in America — and being obsessed with The Greatest Showman — judge Simon Cowell seemed oblivious when she walked onstage.
He asked: “Welcome, what’s your name and where are you from?”
When Loren replied she is American he seemed surprised, adding: “Is that right? So why Britain’s Got Talent? Tell me a bit about you.”
Simon banged on the desk and says: “Oh my God!”

He added: “So you sang one of the biggest songs of all time. You’ve revealed it wasn’t the actress who sang the song in the movie — it was you singing the song.
“Why didn’t you get that big deal after the song?”
Loren told him: “I was more comfortable singing behind the scenes, but I kinda feel like the song was meant for me and now I’m ready to put a face to the song.”
Loren then revealed The Greatest Showman actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned with her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie.

“So she lip synced [in the movie],” Loren said.
Loren then smashed out the song, despite being shaky with nerves at the beginning.
Not only did the crowd jump to their feet to celebrate, but Amanda Holden actually walked over to the stage to give Loren a hug.
“Thank you so much for that, it was so emotional,” she told the singer.
The usually cynical and reserved Simon Cowell was also overcome with emotion after revealing The Greatest Showman was one of his favourite films.
“That was one of the most incredible auditions I’ve ever experienced,” the music mogul revealed.
People watching at home agreed.
“Wow mind blown #Bgt the greatest showman seeing the voice well deserved golden buzzer,” wrote on fan on Twitter.

Another added: “So proud of @lorenallred! So glad you’ve had your time to shine.”
And a third wrote: “Congrats on the golden buzzer Lauren.”
