After that, there was no looking back for them. Devries openly admitted that he never expected to get the Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell and that it was absolutely crazy! In the semi- finals of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, they performed Puff Daddy and Faith Evans’‘I’ll Be Missing You’, coupled with new verses about someone who had recently lost a friend. Their heartfelt performance had the audience in tears and fortunately they won the semi-finals and progressed to the finals.
