However, any assumption that Dylan was just another sweet, standard child performer completely vanished the absolute second the instrumental music began. Choosing to tackle Beyoncé’s incredibly demanding power ballad “Listen,” the 12-year-old completely shocked the entire auditorium. As he moved past the quiet opening verses and built up to the song’s massive, soaring chorus, Dylan unleashed a jaw-dropping vocal register and robust belting capability that left the theater echoing in sound. He handled the complex vocal runs and immense emotional depth of the iconic track with an uncanny ease, earning a roaring standing ovation from thousands of cheering audience members before he even finished his final notes.
The judges were left entirely speechless and overflowing with high praise for the unassuming young talent. Alesha Dixon was noticeably stunned, admitting she spent almost the entirety of the performance completely “gobsmacked” because she never expected a 12-year-old to possess such an incredible tone and off-the-scale vocal technique. Amanda Holden lauded him as a “gorgeous, unassuming, and humble person” who managed to step out and completely knock a flawless audition straight out of the park. Even Simon Cowell heavily commended his immense bravery for selecting one of the most difficult songs in music history, stating that his choice proved exactly how much confidence and vision Dylan has as an emerging artist. Sweeping a flawless four yeses from the ecstatic panel, Dylan celebrated an epic victory, moving one step closer to making his dream of musical stardom a reality.
