High five!
Swing boy band Jack Pack won over theBritain's Got Talent judges at the weekend, but although
their rendition of a Frank Sinatra classic was oh so smooth, the pre-performance anticipation
felt anything but.
-Massively nerve wrecking. -Surreal, wasn't it?
It's like someone had come along and sewed my mouth up. Yeah, everything went.
Because you're all waiting behind stage before, and obviously the buzzers are going off, and
it's so loud. It shocks you, and it just adds to the adrenaline, which is obviously going
already. It's scary.
We all had a spare pair of underwear.
You had spare pairs of underwear?
Just in case. The buzzer's loud.
-We did hold hands on the way on as well. -Yeah, that helped.
This is beautiful. This is really lovely. Obviously, Simon wasn't there. He was tending
to his new baby. Who was the judge that you were most scared of, and who did you
most want to please?
I think that day, we were not aware that Simon wasn't there until later on, so we were all
kind of nervous about that. And then when we found out he wasn't there on Friday, we
were kind of like oh that's actually quite a relief because the other judges can be quite
quite nice, but I think for me, I was a bit worried about David actually. I thought maybe he might
sort of take over Simon's role a little bit and be very critical if there was any errors.
He did say Simon would have loved it. So you've still got Simon left to impress. When's that
going to happen, and how are you going to impress him?
He's coming around our house tonight. He's getting a private performance.
We've actually been watching his tweets, hoping he'd tweet that he liked it, he liked the
performance, but he hasn't done it yet.
Cheque's not cleared.
Baby of the group Alfie got the biggest compliment of the night, when Alesha called him "the
cream in the coffee".
I kind of, I think by my reaction you can tell that I was just kind of acting my age,
probably a bit younger actually.
He turned into a little baby!
I didn't know even what to say. I just kind of ended up going inside myself.
We obviously didn't see that. We were up on stage. We didn't see his reaction, but seeing
it back. I was watching it and thinking oh bless him.
You couldn't see Alfie's hand, but he was grabbing my leg going help me.
You're touching my bum.
For 28-year-old Adam, BGT is not his first TV talent show, having reached the final of
X Factor in 2007 as part of boy band Futureproof.
We did fairly well. It was totally different to this. It was kind of a proper boy band.
Sort of vests and things like that. They won't allow me to wear a vest in this one.
We'll send you the picture of him in a vest, and you can make your own mind up.
I mean, it's all over the internet, so we weren't trying to hide anything because it's
so easy to find. So I think the difference being this time around is the love of the
music to be honest. Being swing and being with three guys I get on with. Yeah, it's
a lot different actually.
I think that story as well came off of something we said on TV, which was referring to how
we've sung as a group, how often we've sung as a group. The answer was that we've not.
This was our first time in front of an audience, which is completely true.
We've done gigs in the past. We can't say we've never sung before.
But gigging solo, we obviously had day jobs because we never had enough money for it from
our gigging. But together this was our first appearance. First time out there.
It's a bit different obviously. Four people singing together in harmonies and stuff like
that. A lot more can go wrong, so it's a bit nervewrecking.
Obviously you mentioned boy bands and vests. Simon Cowell's got a little thing called
One Direction who I mean... they're doing alright.
They're so talented as well. They play guitar and stuff.
Yeah, I'm proud that they're British you know. They're just doing it all around the world
for England and Britain.
Not many people get to break America, and they've done insanely well.
Yeah, they're the biggest thing to come out of the country in a long time. So in a way,
they're kind of the modern day superstars.
And they knock out each tune. It's just awesome. It's just perfect.
-Andrew loves them. -Yeah, I do. I do love them.
Andrew used to be in it.
So if the competition with 1D all gets too much, do the boys have any other hidden talents
they can fall back on?
I'm really good at eating, and I think I could do that really well.
I was actually trained as a chef, so I could do a bit of cooking.
-He cooks, and I eat. -Haha. Oh yeah!
Oh yeah? I did the math for you there, mate.
That was yeah. That was quite good.
Breakdance. Without a doubt. I can spin on my head for hours.
-Could you show us? -No, I can't.
Mine's a belly roll. I'm not going to get it out now, but it's really cool.
