He’s in the semi-finals of BGT and the bookies are laying off their bets. Here’s Malakai’s back  story.

Some viewers are calling for a ban on kids.

    Poor boy – drawn into Great British pop culture.

    He deserves better!

    • Maria says:

      It’s where the money is and the audiences, and nothing wrong with that. Other classical people have gone that way, and there are some very good talented people in that show.

  • bayjee says:

    would there be such a fuss if he was white?

  • alexy says:

    Beautiful voice, fantastic intonation and stability (rare at that age) Great technique, relaxed, fantastic support. Hopes he keeps going and become a star classical professional singer

  • Sue Sonata Form says:

    It’s the beatific looks from those ‘judges’ which amuse me the most. The boy has a beautiful voice and a bright future.

    Yes, it’s precisely the kind of music which requires constant cheering and clapping. NOT.

    • John Kelly says:

      Well it’s better than most of the “talent” seen on this show. Better than the performing dogs that’s for sure.

  • Matias says:

    Other contestants are probably wondering whether it’s worth turning up at all.

  • Rob Keeley says:

    A quite amazing voice. I hope it doesn’t break too soon. Those high notes are unbelievable.

  • McDread says:

    Christ what happened to Simon Cowell’s face?

  • Robert Holmén says:

    He should go for it while he can.

    Historically, great boy singers have not tended to mature into great adult male voices.

    I shall be curious to follow his future endeavors.

  • Denise says:

    It shouldn’t matter where he lives, what color he is, how old he is…It should only matter that he is incredibly talented regardless if you enjoy that type of artistic talent or not. And that he looks incredibly happy doing it!
