Max Fox is a singer who reached the Semi-Finals of Series 18 of Britain's Got Talent. He was aged 35 and was a local singer at the time of his audition. He explained that his passion was to perform and how performing for Simon Cowell was a dream come true for him. He was the last act to audition this series.
Before his performance, Fox was sat in the audience and asked Simon Cowell if he could be presented with the opportunity to audition which Simon and the production crew granted him. Fox explained that he had been attempting to perform in front of Simon since he was 16, however he had never been able to get the opportunity at previous audition venues.
In his audition, Fox sang a rendition of 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra. Overwhelmed by the positive reaction from the audience, Amanda Holden pressed the Golden Buzzer for the second time sending him directly onto the Semi-Finals. Simon remarked 'Nobody is going to believe this wasn't set up [and] it was actually very emotional', with Amanda adding 'I feel like I'm in a movie'.
In the Semi-Finals, Fox once again sang a rendition of ‘My Way’ by Frank Sinatra. Bruno remarked ‘You’ve fought so hard to get here, this moment you did it your way and you did it very well’, with Alesha adding ‘Your story and journey has been fascinating, even we were suspicious of your journey [as] we couldn’t believe how authentic that [initial] moment was’. He reached the Top 3 in the Public Vote and placed 2nd, above TK but below Hear Our Voice.
Trivia[]
- Max only sang 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra, but with a difference in the way that he tuned the track in both performances.
- This does not count as a Golden Moment act as the producers didn't know that Max was planning on auditioning for the show before he requested the opportunity to audition from Simon with this being especially clear by how Simon told the producers to give him a chance after they initially attempted to keep him at bay from the judges desk.
