Isaac Waddington is a singer & pianist who reached the Final of Series 9 of Britain's Got Talent. After stating that he was 15, he responded to remarks from the audience by commenting 'It's not that cute'.
He had previously won the BBC Radio 2 Chorister of the Year competition, in 2012 which lead to an appearance on BBC's Songs of Praise.
In his audition, he sang 'Always A Woman' by Billy Joel, whilst also playing the piano. Alesha commented 'I got completely lost in that song', whilst Simon simply said 'I think you're really good'.
In the Semi-Finals, he performed 'I Can't Make You Love Me' by Bonnie Raitt whilst also playing the piano, as a close-up of his face was projected on the electronic screen behind him. Simon described his Semi-Final performance as 'a big step up', whilst David remarked 'You drew everyone in'. He won the Public Vote and advanced immediately onto the Final.
In the Final, Isaac again performed 'Always A Woman' by Billy Joel whilst also playing the piano. Alesha commented 'When you project vocally, it's really raspy and you remind me of James Morrison, that kind of vibe', with Amanda adding 'You do sing with this kind of knowing that your mature beyond your years [and] I don't know where it's from'. He ultimately placed 5th overall.
