BRITAIN’S Got Talent continues tonight with one hopeful wowwing the judges – but she’s already been in the franchise twice before.
Geneviève Côté, 60, has developed an incredible knack of creating nature sounds and noises, and stands in front of the BGT judges tonight.
In a preview clip of tonight’s episode, Geneviève – who was born in Montreal – leaves hosts Ant and Dec, as well as judge Bruno Tonioli, open mouthed as she brings nature clips to life using just her voice.
“Is she doing the noise?” a stunned Amanda Holden is seen asking as she performs as waves, birds, monkeys, and peaceful background music to wild animals in the habitats, just like in a nature documentary. “I wasn’t expecting that!”
“Oh my God she’s bloody great!” smiles Ant from the side of the stage.
“She’s brilliant, right?” Simon Cowell tellingly says to his fellow judges.
While her fate is not confirmed in the clip (though the judges and audience were spellbound enough to assume she makes it to the next round), this is not Geneviève’s first time being put in front of the crowd.
Those familiar with the franchise may recognise her from TWO previous international iterations from the series.
Back in March 2023, Geneviève appeared on Canada’s Got Talent, and left the judges so awestruck that Howie Mandel gave her his golden buzzer.
She made it to the finals, before being beaten by dance group Conversion.
However, her performance clearly left an impression on Mandel, who brought her back for America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League to be part of his team this January.
And in between those two appearances, Geneviève also auditioned for France’s version of the show, ‘La France a un incroyable talent’.
In that case, judge Karine Le Marchland gave her the golden buzzer, sending her through to the semi-finals, where she was then eliminated.
Britain’s Got Talent does allow anyone to take part in the competition, regardless of experience, however viewers have become increasingly agitated over participants that have been given multiple shots at stardom.
On yesterday’s episode, viewers slammed the show after another hopeful was revealed to be a professional performer.
Sydnie Christmas had the judges raving over her incredible performance of Tomorrow from Annie, getting a standing ovation from all four judges as Amanda Holden elected to send her straight through to the semi-final with a golden buzzer.
But she had previous experience as a theatre performer, with Sydnie starring Starlight Express in Bochum, Germany, and David Bowie musical Lazarus at London’s King’s Cross Theatre.
