🎤 10-Year-Old Giorgia Borg Stuns BGT 2019 & Wins Alesha’s Golden Buzzer with Original Song ✨

Sometimes, auditions turn into defining moments — performances that shock the judges, move the audience, and leave a lasting impression. Such was the case in Britain’s Got Talent 2019 when Giorgia Borg, a 10-year-old singer from Malta, took the stage with an original song and an expression of maturity well beyond her years. Her audition not only earned raves from the judges — it earned Alesha Dixon’s Golden Buzzer, vaulting her straight through to the live semi-finals. 🏆

🌟 The Young Voice from Malta

Giorgia Borg was born in 2008 and by age ten was already writing her own music. Before BGT, she had made a name for herself in Malta, having competed in Junior Eurovision and various local singing contests. Her song for BGT, titled “Ten”, was self-written (with help from songwriters but drawing on her own emotional perspective). The lyrics reflect a common yet powerful theme: “how some adults don’t listen to their kids”. This message would resonate deeply with both judges and viewers. 🎶👂

When Giorgia stepped onto the stage, she carried no gimmicks — just a guitar, her voice, and her song. The judges listened closely. The audience leaned forward.

🎤 The Audition: Confidence, Emotion & Unforgettable Vocals

From the very first note, Giorgia impressed. Her voice had a clarity, power, and emotional depth that many performers struggle to achieve even as adults. She sang “Ten” with confidence — her vocal control through the challenging parts showed polish, while her lyrics conveyed honesty and feeling. Her tone, pitch, and phrasing all revealed more than just technical skill — they revealed heart. 💡✨

Mid-audition, the magic of the moment became clear. Judge Alesha Dixon found herself visibly moved. Giorgia’s ability to express vulnerability and strength in equal measure floored her. She exclaimed: “You’re not even real … It takes a lot to really, really move me. You floored me. You absolutely floored me.” She praised Giorgia’s vocal capability and lyrical skill, incredulous that someone so young could deliver such a performance. Then — the moment everyone was waiting for — Alesha pressed the Golden Buzzer, sending Giorgia straight through to the live semi-finals. 🎉 🔔

👏 Judges & Audience Reactions

The judges’ reactions underscored just how extraordinary the performance was:

Alesha Dixon, tearing up, said Giorgia was a star in every sense. She loved not just the voice, but the personality, lyrics, message — everything.
Simon Cowell admitted that before the audition he didn’t know what to expect, but after Giorgia’s performance, he was deeply impressed: “You are 10 years old … when I woke up this morning I knew it was going to be a great day.”
David Walliams marveled: “I cannot believe you are ten. I was barely out of nappies when I was ten years old!” He expressed both admiration and surprise.
The audience gave her a standing ovation. Many were wiping away tears, many were smiling, and almost everyone seemed stunned that someone so young could produce something so powerful. 🌼🙌
