Innocent Masuku, a 33-year-old South African opera singer living in London, gave Britain’s Got Talent judges goosebumps with his audition performance of Lucio Dalla’s Casuro.
Judge Amanda Holden said he was the best opera singer Britain’s Got Talent Judges had ever seen in all their 17 years.

Much to the audience's disappointment, Innocent did not receive a Golden Buzzer but was given four yes votes by the judges.
His performance caught the attention of South Africa's Sport, Arts and Culture Minister who shared the riveting performance on his social media platform.
South African creatives continue to raise the country’s flag high around the world. I congratulate Innocent Masuku on his sterling performance in Britain’s Got Talent. All the best as you proceed in the competition! @CyrilRamaphosa @SportArtsCultur @BGT
