Unexpected Flash Mob Audition Shocks Simon Cowell!

[@teecee1567]

I just love a flashmob. Doesn't matter what they perform... the whole idea of it is just marvellous.

[@ladybug160]

Tee Cee, me too. I am currently binge watching a few of them right now 💟 And when you consider that many of them are done without a Conductor, makes them all the more impressive!

[@judyhinkle2140]

Love any flash mob anywhere they make me happy and smiling .

[@ethangold4900]

One of the things in my wishlists in life is actually to witness a flashmob irl Hope it comes true

[@vedantbandagale5984]

*performs at funeral*

[@inugy03]

Saaaaaaame. Flahsmobs give me a total thrill

[@DeliciousAutumn]

Does anybody else get so overwhelmingly happy that they cry when there's a singing flash mob? Like I'm sobbing. I can never help but ball my eyes out. I love that vibration of having music come at you from every direction and for it to be a surprise.

[@thomthom6268]

Nope. Just cutting onions.

[@helenswan705]

always!!

[@sheepshead17]

Yes

[@frowniebrown86]

Yep. I cried at Paw Patrol live just from seeing and feeling all the children feeling joy. I feel really lucky to be able to experiencing other peoples joy like that

[@shari9084]

You know me so well. I’m now crying even more at the comment you just get me

[@brittbratt1103]

This is amazing. Things like this always gives me goosebumps. I'm also impressed no one tripped on the stairs up to the stage.

[@dorisbrannon5141]

First time I've seen this and tears of joy took me over!!!

[@LeighS02]

😅🤣😂

[@annecook5215]

I love a good flashmob

[@kimbradley9595]

It's a Yes 😊😊😊😊😊

[@mistytharpe3991]

Even for this show that's pretty amazing

[@DRKPLZS]

OK, now go back and watch it again. Notice that EVERY participant is putting everything they've got into this performance. Each one acts as if he/she is the star and the outcome rests on their shoulders. The enthusiasm of this group is contagious and the result of hours and hours of practice, lead by dedicated teachers/mentors who believe in them. They may not realize it today, but the effort they put into this production will impact the rest of their lives. Setting goals, team building, group effort, moral support, etc have all played a part in this and hopefully gave them something to draw from in the future. Well done !

[@VadulTharys]

They did this to raise awareness of their charity work. They put themselves out for a good cause.

[@patricianieman4448]

The world needs more Flash Mobs. Makes everyone happy

[@johnjap2]

Guy stands up at the piano and apologizes to Simon… “This happens every time I play!!”

[@Decopainterandtea]

I REALLY wish he thought to say that! 🧡

[@solei5678]

Everyone looked like they were having so much fun!

[@Elegantprism]

They probably did

[@Lizzynewto]

They were having such a good time!!! 😂😂😂

[@billwatt2528]

There is something so wonderful about a Flash Mob. Brilliant

[@enrabahn8003]

I was expecting a flash mob but that.... that was even more than I hoped for! Absolutely amazing! Love this so much!

[@david.m.304]

Now THAT'S what I call AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION!!! Fantastic! Thanks.

[@LeoladyAZ]

Fabulous! I loved the entire performance. The piano player was so humbly understated. Then the Flashmob cut loose. Who doesn't have a smile when something like this happens?

[@jb6712]

I've watched this performance at least six times now, and it always cracks me up to see that expression on Simon's face when Nck begins the first few notes of piano playing---and then suddenly a third of the audience is a planned part of the man's act! (well, maybe one tenth of the audience...)

[@TeamPaul17]

At some point, Simon had to be eyeballing EVERY part of the audience to catch who was next ("Are they ALL in on it? Is this a bit?"). And just when you thought the mob couldn't get bigger--a guitar solo!

[@olivepoola9153]

You can see a twinkle in his eyes during the interview! This was beyond awesome!!

[@cocosricos5541]

This guy has one big family and many friends.

[@raulgarza2612]

What's that famous statement . . . . oh yeah . . . Didn't see THAT coming!!! PERFECT!

[@Mantras-and-Mystics]

The look of wonder on Simon's face was both priceless and beautiful! ❤️

[@lenastorm6280]

Oh, I love flashmobs!

[@francesraharuhi7709]

What a massive huge amount of positivity 👏 put through that building... hat's off to all involved in pulling this off.

[@joellegreig6955]

Perfect acoustics, too. Vital for an orchestra and vocals.

[@theloreleis6621]

That was INCREDIBLE!!!! I would have loved to hear what the judges sail though. How could anybody not cheer after that?!

[@nancystevenson562]

Love this! This is why there should always be music available to learn in all schools! The pure joy!

[@maggie2u135]

@Nancy...You are absolutely right. My mother could never understand why there were classes like music or school sports. I told her that those kind of classes gave children a reason to go to and like school.

[@henrimatisse7481]

I love how "group music" makes the audience so happy. So go to the symphony more often!

[@jackyfelder2563]

Queen just sounded excellent

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Just love this tremendous collection of talent making a flash mob of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now".

[@billvincent240]

Any time you can surprise and impress Simon, you've done well.

[@robertjenkins5440]

Wow, that was great...definitely surprised everyone...never saw this before...that had to be a heck of an undertaking putting all that together

[@senecawarchief2915]

just buying half the audience tickets out lmao

[@vivennefowler2098]

Loved it

[@jb6712]

This is at least ten years old (+/-) ---I saw it at least that long ago when it first came out---but yes, it had to be a huge lot of planning to get all the seats needed for the musicians that were to be part of the audience, along with the whole choreography. Terrific job of it, that's for sure!

[@auntiebobbolink]

@@senecawarchief2915 I thought of that also....coordinating the seats was a triumph in itself. 👏💐

[@libbyvanerp5423]

Loved it ❤.

[@flick22601]

This deserves the golden buzzer.

[@diannemotsinger428]

Oh my goodness!! The best performance in the world !!! I watch this over and over again!! I cry with joy every time I watch it! Most awesome talent ever❤♥️♥️♥️‼

Perfect response to a perfect performance. Bravo

[@robertbirke243]

Although I've seen this before, I still love it because not only did it bewilder the judges but they involved the audience in total surround sound.

[@maryarmstrong1085]

Wow! They are everywhere. Perfect definition of “Coming out from the woodwork“ Beautiful performance .

[@Tipperary757]

The energy is contagious. What fun!

[@margaretwade]

I saw a flash mob in a mall once. What an unforgettable experience it was! I loved every second of it.

[@krisdiperna3929]

Lucky you!

[@SpecialSP]

Flash mobs (almost) always bring me joy. This one brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for this beautiful "Happening" signed: an old Hippie …

[@DaveyL1954]

He Cowell, them's real musicians. A hundred years of combined learning an instrument to get to that standard. Then the usual practice time to make it go from dodgy to unbelievabley excellent. Yes Mr Cowell.......and there are thousands of us all around you. Watching you. Closely.

[@cathysmith6932]

Hands down, best audition ever on any Got Talent show!

[@elizabethkates670]

Brilliant. This one made me cry. We need more of this these days

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Imagine the logistics involved to do this.

[@jamesroberts3642]

Not much really....these pro musicians probably rehearsed it ONCE and then screwed their entrances, tempo, beat, and intonation. How could any of you guys think this was a "surprise" and the judges had no clue what was going to happen. This was obviously only rehearsed like once or twice. I love the show but to see people praise this is just crazy to me. IT was fun, and i love the song, but lets not pretend it was anything special at all.

[@Birds0fHermes]

As Simon said he’s good with numbers

[@AlvinaYunoa]

@@jamesroberts3642 It’s special to the audiences at least, we don’t care about the judges

[@cadenza3210]

It had to be an inside job. You can't smuggle French Horns into an auditorium without somebody noticing, much less get everyone seated in just the right places. So the staff had to be in on it. I like to think that they did not tell the judges.

[@mikeholton9876]

this is GLORIOUS, its the first time i got to see celebrities enjoy the spontaneity of a flashmob. they got to enjoy the thrill it brings, i hope they recognize the feeling....

[@dhanagunter5893]

That was a real treat.

[@bev5089]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it!!! THAT deserves a golden buzz! Good luck to them! 🏆

[@SimonPlowman]

I always love flash mobs, to see the people's indecent joy on people's faces makes me happy❤

They could hage just done a nice stage performance. But no. They were all about the next level. Their enrrgy was fantastic. The conducted kinf of personified it. So fantastic. Great vibes of peope really enjoying performing.

I wonder how long they all sat in their spots just waiting and having all that anxiety build at least for some. The second that dude walked out they're all like "all right here we go"😂❤😂❤

@@raybolasco9457 or Looking up screaming along..

[@josuequintero-td5gh]

As someone who played in an orchestra before it doesn't seem like it would take much extra to rehearse, at least compared to how long it would take to learn the actual song and play it. Timing is already a natural part of music so I think the majority of the effort would go into stage effects. Obviously it's a lot of work but all the musicians have to do is make sure they get to stage on time lol

[@michaelboldireff9122]

What a great Surprise 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉for everyone

[@matthewmcdaid7962]

The guy organizes things for a living. That's what money management is about. For this performance, he simply decided to organize Simon right out of his chair. Well played.

[@ianl1052]

I love flash mobs. Sadly, I haven't experienced one live though. Only one way this could have been better...if Brian May had made a guest appearance on lead guitar. As he spends some of his valuable time helping KZbin musicians, I think he would have been up for it.

[@nancyfox64]

Goosebumps. Skin Tingling. Smiling. Tears. Wonderful.

Jane... A Quarter of the seat in the venue were filled with members of the flash mob AND they came in with their instruments.... do you think that was really a surprise? The Judges rarely DON'T know what to expect and often as not are part of the act... creating a lower expectation.
