ACTS on Britain’s Got Talent automatically secure a spot in the semi-finals if they receive the Golden Buzzer.
The Golden Buzzer has been pressed six times so far in the 2024 series of Britain’s Got Talent.
Who are the Britain’s Got Talent 2024 golden buzzer acts?
Nabe
Nabe arrived on stage and said he wanted to “make people smile all over the world”.
The Japanese impressionist then began using shaving foam to style his hair into various styles, including that of Disney’s Maleficent and cartoon character Snoopy.
Using a white shirt and a cutout of Simon Cowell’s face, he transformed himself into the judge by pretending his hair was his famously hairy chest.
Judge Amanda Holden went crazy for the performance and awarded him with a Golden Buzzer.
“Normally when I press my golden buzzer I’m then in floods of tears and I do a big speech.
Amanda Holden
This is so different it’s just made me howl. Absolutely laugh my head off. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Simon added that Nabe was “one of the funniest people we’ve ever had.”
Taryn Charles
Taryn Charles, 39, is an entertainer and music teacher for special needs children from Surrey.
She has been a backing singer for Kim Weston, Gwen McRae and Candi Staton.
In 2021, Taryn was one of the lead singers with the touring theatre show The History of Soul.
On Saturday May 4, 2024 she received the golden buzzer from Bruno Tonioli after she performed her rendition of You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin.
I bet you somebody at some point has said to you that you haven’t got a great voice and nothing is going to ever happen. And boy did you prove this person wrong.
Simon Cowell
Bruno said about her performance: “I am not bragging here but I had the honour of meeting Aretha. She stayed at my house and when you started the song I was like ‘Oh God how is she gonna do that?’
“You made me forget about her version.
“You made it so much your own with so much feeling, and the colour of your voice is unique and you are a very very special person my darling.”
Bruno
The other judges were left impressed as well with Alesha Dixon saying that she has “one of those amazing tones and raspiness”when singing.
Taryn told Ant and Dec about the golden buzzer: “I don’t even know what to say I think I wet myself.”
Ssaulabi Taekwondo Troupe
Ssaulabi Taekwondo Troupe are skilled Taekwondo performers from South Korea.
The members are between 19 to 23 years old and is a mixed group with females and males.
The group’s incredible martial arts act includes lots of high kicks and flying through the air.
On April 20, 2024, Ssaulabi Performance Troupe received the golden buzzer from Ant and Dec.
Judge Bruno Tonioli praised the group: “The power, the beauty, the artistry.
“It blows everything else I’ve seen out of the water.”
Alesha Dixon said their “discipline hard work and dedication” had “paid off”.
Ravi’s Dream Team
Ravi is a eight year old brain tumour patient, who performed with a choir of 50 patients, medical professionals, and his sister Maya.
They sang A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman.
The young boy was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2022.
He was approached by show bosses who had seen his efforts to raise funds for Brains Trust and The Brain Tumour Charity.
Alesha Dixon pressed the golden buzzer and said: “The Golden Buzzer is such a personal thing and I always say I can only press it when it feels right, and you’re such a remarkable young man.”
Ravi told The Sun: “If we won it would help us reach our fundraising goal, but also winning would just bring so much more awareness of brain tumours.”
Sydnie Christmas
Sydnie Christmas was born in 1996 and is a singer from Kent, who also works as front of house member in a gym.
She has performed on theatre and cruise ship stage.
Before Britain’s Got talent she appeared in E4’s reality show Stage School.
The show aired for two series in 2016 and 2017.
It followed the trials and tribulations of students at a real-life stage school from romances to auditions.
Sydnie also performed in the musical The Starlight Express with her boyfriend, Max Rizzo.
On April 20, 2024, Syndie impressed the audience and the Britain’s Got Talent judges with her version of Tomorrow from Annie.
Amanda Holden told her: “That was the best version of it that I’ve heard heard in my mind, so I’m going to do this…”
She then hit the Golden Buzzer and sent Sydnie through to the semi-finals.
West End and Celebrity Big Brother star Marisha Wallace is also a fan of Sydnie.
Marisha wrote on her Instagram: “It’s been 4 years since I released my version of Tomorrow and the album with Steve Anderson.
“The money we raised helped so many starving artists during the pandemic.
“This is from when I performed it at the Royal Variety performance in 2020.
“My version has been used on many TV shows to this day and I heard Sydnie Christmas sang my version on BGT and got a gold buzzer!
“So happy the song lives on.
“Have a listen to it on all music platforms link in my stories because it still gives me hope for a better tomorrow.”

“Our dream is to perform around the world, if we won it would be amazing.”

“And I could see how much time had gone into that, everyone in this theatre was rooting for you.”
A member of the group said about receiving the golden buzzer: “This is a dream come true for us.”
What is the golden buzzer on Britain's Got Talent?
The Golden Buzzer was introduced in series eight, and has been an integral part ever since.
If the Golden Buzzer is pressed it means that the contestant is automatically in the semi-finals.
This means they skip past the boot camp stage of the competition.
Each of the four judges, plus backstage hosts Ant & Dec, have one opportunity per series to give an act the Golden Buzzer.
For the 2024 series, the rule has been amended and the buzzer was pressed nine times.
