Simon takes one look at Jonathan as he and Charlotte go out onto the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage and determines his audition will be less than fantastic. “Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse,” he says softly to his colleague.

Simon had no idea that his 2012 audition would become one of the most famous auditions in YouTube history, and for the best reason possible. Charlotte and Jonathan combine opera with pop in their performance of “The Prayer” in the video below. However, when Jonathan displays his magnificent operatic voice, his confidence and brilliance shine through. Simon’s jaw continues to drop, and when it comes time to chastise the pair, his remarks radically contradict their earlier assessments. The following video shows both the wonderful performance and the jury’s final comments.
