Electric Umbrella Earns Simon’s Golden Buzzer with Emotional BGT Performance

Electric Umbrella earned Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer with their emotional performance on Britain’s Got Talent. The talented performers showed the judges, the studio audience and the world what they could do. Watch the short clip to see Electric Umbrella’s moving and powerful performance.

No one wants to be counted out or discounted. At the very least, everyone should be able to show and prove what they can do. That is why shows like American Idol, The Voice, America’s Got Talent, and its British counterpart, Britain’s Got Talent, continue to draw large audiences. Those programs give people who have been overlooked or disregarded an opportunity.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the members of the massive group, Electric Umbrella, walk out onto the stage, and they flood the stage with their large numbers. Their numbers are so big Simon Cowell remarked, “I think this is the biggest act we’ve had this year.”  

In a back-and-forth with the judges, one of the group’s founders said Electric Umbrella works to make the world a more inclusive and accepting place. To accomplish this goal, they use rock-and-roll music, he says.

After the brief discussion, the members take their marks, and their performance gets underway. They sing “Acceptance,” an original song of theirs. The lyrics perfectly express their desire to be accepted for who they are, regardless of their physical or mental disabilities.

During their time on stage, the camera catches several audience members who have been brought to tears as they wipe their eyes. The magical performance had the entire studio audience on their feet, singing and dancing along with Electric Umbrella.

When it came time for the judges to comment on the performance, Simon mentioned that even though they deserved a Golden Buzzer, he had already used his. However, he did not let that stop him from hitting it again. He reached over and slammed the button, causing confetti to rain down on the stage and the performers.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”
