During Week 2 of the 2017 Britain’s Got Talent auditions, 16-year-old singer-songwriter Reuben Gray enthralled spectators. Reuben, a native of Guildford, Surrey, had a love for music from an early age and had mastered the saxophone, guitar, and piano. After a brief split, he decided to play an original song called “Lifeline,” which is a sincere apology to his partner.
It was a moving moment when Reuben, who thought his father was away on business, found out that his father was in the audience. Reuben was profoundly affected by this surprise, which gave his act more nuance.
All of the judges expressed their admiration. David Walliams praised Reuben’s extraordinary musicianship and the elegance of the song he wrote himself. Alesha Dixon praised his sincere effort and said his father must be very proud. Simon Cowell acknowledged Reuben’s true talent and praised his sincerity and inventiveness.
Both the audience and spectators at home were deeply impacted by Reuben’s audition, which not only demonstrated his musical prowess but also the close relationship between father and son.
