United Kingdom- Three brothers originally from Zimbabwe stormed hit UK show Britain’s Got Talent with an impressive dance routine that included a snippet of Alick Macheso’s hit song ‘Amai Va Rubhi’ complete with its Borrowdale ‘Museve’ dance.
Named after a large piece of paper, ‘A3′ consisting of brothers Amukheani, Arnold and Anthony took to the stage supported by their clucking mother in the wings. Asked by the judges where they come from the boys said Swansea (in Wales) much to the cheer of dozens of Welsh people in the crowd.
The dance routine started with the boys dancing to the Prodigy’s Fire Starter song before switching to a Michael Jackson medley. The eldest brother Arnold told the cameras: ‘I’m just grateful that they are my brothers, it’s something that I treasure every day. It’s just a privilege to be sharing this experience with them.’
After performing an exhausting routine that included break dance, back flips, museve and somersaults all three brothers broke down in tears and told the judges how hard they had worked to get to this point. The crying trio even brought a tear to the eye of host Ant McPartlin, who was watching from backstage. ‘He’s got me going now,’ he said.
Commenting on the performance Simon Cowell said ‘It started really really well and then it ran out of steam..it did. And for an act like this to work it has to have a beginning, a middle and an end. You have natural talent but for this to work you need to work out a proper routine for an audition. On the plus side you are exceptionally talented!
Another judge Piers Morgan said ‘I like the fact that you’re three brothers and you’ve worked so hard to get here. You put on a great display and I really enjoyed it, the audience enjoyed it. Judge Amanda Holden said, ‘Well I don’t know why you’re crying because that was brilliant! Three yeses later and the boys sailed through to the next round.
