When 15-year-old Daniel Chettoe<\/strong> walked onto the Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/em> stage in 2015, he looked like any regular quiet schoolboy from Lancashire. A bit nervous, hands clasped, he told the judges he loved classic  music<\/a> and old-style songs \u2014 but nothing prepared them for what came next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel chose \u201cCry Me a River\u201d<\/strong> in the Ella Fitzgerald style, a smoky jazz standard that even many adults struggle to pull off. As soon as he opened his mouth, the room froze. Out of this teenager came a rich, velvety crooner\u2019s voice that sounded like it belonged to someone several decades older. Simon Cowell later joked it was as if Daniel had \u201cswallowed a 60-year-old man who\u2019s singing for you,\u201d while David Walliams laughed that \u201cthe good news is your voice is definitely broken.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer he sang, the more confident he became, gliding through the melody with real swing and control. The audience went from curious to cheering mid-song, clearly loving the old-soul sound coming from such a young face. By the final note, Daniel had the crowd and judges completely on side and sailed through to the next round with ease \u2014 his \u201cbig surprise\u201d officially revealed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He walked on looking like a normal teen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He walked off as the boy with a voice straight out of a smoky jazz club from another era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
