Britain’s Got Talent 2025 singer wows viewers

On Saturday evening (March 22) singer Mickey Callisto took to the BGT stage hoping to wow the judges on the panel.

For his act, he performed the iconic Queen hit Who Wants To Live Forever – and left the audience, and judges, gobsmacked by his vocal chops.

“Wow. I was like is this Freddie is this Mickey? But whatever it was it was sensational. Your voice is absolutely stunning,” said Alesha Dixon.

Meanwhile, Bruno Tonioli told Mickey he had Freddie’s “mannerisms down to a T,” before all four judges decided to put him through to the next round in the competition.

‘This guy looks like he’s miming!’

However, despite Mickey going down a storm with viewers at home, some were left distracted and accused him of “miming.”

Tweeting about Mickey as if they were the show’s producer, a viewer on X penned: “‘We’ll record you singing, then you come on and mime to the recording’.”

A second fan also wrote: “This guy looks like he’s miming!”

A third chimed in: “Is he trying to sound like Freddy Mercury, or is that his own voice.”
