This has to be the first Britain’s Got Talent result that I have passionately agreed with all week. Tonight Julian Smith and 2 Grand made it through to Saturday night’s Britain’s Got talent final.

Julian wowed the judges with his saxophone performance and 2 Grand brought tears to the nations eyes with their rendition of ‘Somewhere Out There’.

Julian and 2 Grand join Susan Boyle, Diversity, Flawless , Shaun Smith, Stavros Flatley and Shaheen Jafagholi in the final with the final two acts being picked tomorrow night.

At this stage I think that Diversity and 2 Grand are my front runners, but who would you like to win? Leave your comments below.

AGE: 39

FROM: Birmingham

JOB: Private music teacher/ Freelance musician

TALENT: Saxophone player

BACKGROUND:

Julian has been playing the tenor sax since he was 14. He had a couple of lessons at school to learn the basics before teaching himself from there. He is currently a saxophone and clarinet teacher although he used to also teach the bassoon. He teaches every weekend. He plays crossover classical music similar to Il Divo.

He has been working for years to become successful and has performed at pubs and restaurants in and around Birmingham. He would love to play larger arenas including theatres, and wants to be the centre of attention where everyone is focused on him.

When he plays in restaurants due to the hustle and noise Julian feels he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He started playing on a regular saxophone and has progressed to a tenor sax over the past 15 years. He decided to play the tenor sax as it’s a unique instrument. His main influence is Kenny G and would love to be as well known.

JUDGES COMMENTS:

Simon – YES. Julian the whole idea of this show is to find someone who needs a break but has huge talent – we’ve found it with you; Beautiful choice of music, someone called Kenny G – I like

Amanda – YES.Beautiful soul, stunning, you are gorgeous to boot; you touch my heart

Piers – YES. Your very, very cool, we’ve been blown away BUT we’ve had a lot of good acts

Britain’s Got Talent contestant Julian Smith, has admitted that he is hoping the show will reunite him with his long lost father.

The 39 year old who wowed judges with his saxophone playing in the early audition stages of the show, has revealed that he has no idea who his real father is.

Julian was adopted by his stepdad David at just three and it was he who passed on is love of music. However Julian doesn’t even know what his real dad looks like and is praying that someone will recognise him on the ITV talent show.

A friend told The Sun: “He knows nothing about his real dad. He doesn’t know his name and he’s never even seen a photo.

“He would love to know if his dad is even alive and whether he has any half brothers and sisters.

“His secret hope is that someone will recognise him on TV and put him in touch with his dad.”

On tomorrow night’s Britain’s Got Talent Julian Smith shows up at the Birmingham auditions. He tells Ant and Dec, “Playing Saxophone is my life, I’ve been playing this for 20 years and to just purely play it for a living would be the ultimate dream”

“I’m married and I have two daughters, I know I’m not getting any younger and I want to make life better for them , I’m hoping today could change everything for me, I want it more than anything” says Julian

Julian walks on stage and Piers starts talking to him, My dream is to play to audiences like this on a regular basis he tells Piers

Julian starts playing Somewhere Somehow from West Side Story on his Saxophone, he stuns the audience, Judges and Ant & Dec….reducing Amanda to tears.

It’s smiles all round but is it enough to see him through to the next round?
