When 37-year-old Mike Woodhams stepped onto the stage, no one expected what was about to happen.
The humble music teacher from Milton Keynes described himself as someone who teaches little humans to play the recorder. But moments later, he delivered a performance so surprising, so pitch-perfect, that the entire audience—and the judges—were left speechless.
“That was one of the best vocal impressions I’ve heard in a very, very long time,” one judge raved.
A Musical Chameleon in Disguise
Mike kicked things off with a soft, sincere version of James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”—but that was just the beginning.
In seconds, he transformed into one iconic voice after another:
- 🎤 Craig David
- 🎶 Macy Gray
- 🎵 Gabrielle
- 🎼 Heather Small
Each impression was flawless—the tone, the accent, the emotion. You’d think the actual artists were backstage.
The judges erupted in praise. The crowd gave a standing ovation. And Simon Cowell? He gave two thumbs up.
