By EMILY SHERIDAN

A little boy with a small voice: Ronan Parke, 12, received a standing ovation after his powerful rendition of Feeling Good at the London auditions of Britain's Got Talent


It's only the third week of auditions in this year's Britain's Got Talent - but it looks like the judges may have already found their winner.

Angelic schoolboy Ronan Parke was advised to 'not bother to go back to school' by Michael McIntyre after he wowed the audience at the London auditions.

The 12-year-old burst into tears when he was given three yesses after belting out a powerful rendition of Nina Simone's Feeling Good.

He had taken the day off school to go the audition with his mother Maggie and father Trevor, who watched anxiously from the wings.

Despite Maggie's fears of how he would be received, the judges and the audience gave him a huge applause - making him one of the most popular acts so far this series.

Judge Michael McIntyre said: 'So you took a day off school... I wouldn’t bother going back. You’re a little star. You’ve taken a room and blown the roof off it… You’re the best we’ve seen so far.'

Guest judge Louis Walsh, who had stepped in on behalf of David Hasselhoff, said: 'I’m gonna predict really big things for you. You’re so good.'

Speaking after Ronan's audition, Walsh tipped the boy to be the breakout star of this series: 'He’s the one to beat. Little Ronan could be the winner.'

Will Buddy get the boot? Britain's Got Talent sensation

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Best Buddy: Britain's Got Talent sensation Pippa Langhorne wowed the judges and audience with her singing - and that of her dog


She charmed both the judges and audience on Britain's Got Talent with her opera-singing duet with dog Buddy.

But now Pippa Langhorne has revealed that her beloved pooch Buddy - who was seen with her on Saturday night's show howling along with her rendition of Pie Jesu - might not be a part of her future career if she wins the ITV1 show.

The 20-year-old former model, from Worcester, said she had plans to drop the six-month-old lhasa apso from her act if her career took off, to allow her to record a solo album.


Left out: Buddy, a six-month old llasa apso, may be left on the sidelines if Pippa wins the series


Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday Pippa said, 'I don't see my career with Buddy really. I see myself going solo. I would love to get a recording contract and release an album.

'I want to do a classical music album with a modern sound,' she added, 'I want to bring it into the 21st Century with a more pop or dance sound.

However she said that Buddy would not be left out entirely.

'He could always make a guest appearance,' Pippa suggested. 'But I don't think singing will be a career for him. At the end of the day he's a dog and I want him to have a dog's life.'


Picky pooch: Pippa said that Buddy could make a guest appearance if she had a successful career - but added that he did not like pop music


Popular act: The pair - who performed under the name Pip and Puppy - received a standing ovation at the Birmingham auditions

A body-popping breakdancer was the star of the show on Britain's Got Talent tonight when he wowed the judges with his Matrix inspired dance routine.

Watched by his girlfriend in the audience, Razy amazed the judges with his unique performance, which saw him bend and move his body like nobody else.


Is that you, Neo? Afterwards, the judges praised the creativity of his audition and the beautiful choreography


Afterwards, judge Michael McIntyre said: 'I loved you Razy, there were things I never seen humans do. I thought it was excellent, I really enjoyed watching it. You are Neo from The Matrix.'

Amanda Holden said: 'I found it exciting, you used the whole stage which is very good. Beautifully choreographed, excellent job. Well done!'

And David Hasselhoff added: 'You're like a real life videogame, very very entertaining. Well done.'

We are family! Grandfather-and-granddaughter double act wow the judges on Britain's Got Talent

By LIZ THOMAS

Double act: Ted, 92, and his 21-year-old granddaughter Grace are the stars of the show with their double act


With a 70-year age gap they are perhaps the most unlikely of musical duos.
But 92-year-old singer Ted and his 21-year-old granddaughter are set to steal the show tonight.

The pair have developed a singing double act that plays to both their strengths in a bid to appeal across the generations.


Strong man: The judges are amazed by 54-year-old Micky, who does a one-fingered press-up on a nail


Dressed in a tweed hat, gray cardigan, and chino trousers the pensioner drew cheers from the crowd as he explained how he wanted to make his granddaughter proud.

Ted said: ‘I used to be a professional singer in pubs and clubs and I gave it up when my first daughter was born. When Grace came along I was unearthed again. I don’t want to let her down.’

Viewers will see him perform If I Were A Rich Man from musical classic Fiddler on the Roof and then dance as his granddaughter arrives on stage and sings Gwen Stefani’s If I was a Rich Girl’.


Dog act: Linda and her dog Fenn perform a routine to Shirley Bassey's Big Spender


The show is facing an uphill struggle after losing a million viewers for the opening show - compared to last year.

According to ITV1 figures, the first show of the fifth series drew a peak audience of 10.9million on Saturday - 1.3million down on last year’s opening night.

The beginning of the 2010 series drew a peak of 12.2million and captured almost half the television audience, pulling in an average of 10.6million. This time the prime-time average was 9.9million.

Many fans felt that the programme has been weakened by Cowell’s absence.

The music mogul has pulled out as a judge during the audition rounds to focus on the launch of his U.S. X Factor series. He will return for next month’s live shows.
