'I'd teach the Queen how to be a diva!' Rihanna wannabe Asanda Jezile, 11, wows the BGT judges with her moves and pitch-perfect voice

They said they were after someone who would really blow them away this year, and it looks as though 11-year-old Asanda Jezile has done just that.

The singer - who compared herself to the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce - took to the stage confidently as she belted out a pitch-perfect version of Rihanna's Diamonds.
But it was her dance moves that really made her stand out from the crowd.

'I've never seen someone with such a great stage presence. And you have the best smile I have ever seen,' said Simon, who watched as she completed a series of diva dance moves on stage.

 

The mini diva even admitted that she would teach the Queen to be a diva should she win the show and perform on the Royal Variety Show.
Reaching every high note in the song, Alicia and Simon couldn't believe their ears.
David called her 'phenomenal' as Alicia and Amanda agreed.

The young star beamed as she was given four big yeses.
But it wasn't all fun and games for the judges. First auditionee Steven Jackson, a 52-year-old part-time artist from Kent, failed to impress the judges with his impressionist act.
David said: “It was uncanny how unlike all those people you were.”

Simon added: “I’ve got to be honest with you Steven. Your wigs are like animals. They’re the worst wigs.”
But animal lover Simon soon got his thrill for the night, as Diamond and The Ruff's dog - who they bought along for moral support - came onto the stage for a cuddle.
As the average singers stripped off on stage to a flurry of red buzzers, Simon sat and played with their Yorkshire Terrier, named Jonny Cash.

More interested int he dog: Simon was more interested in Diamond In The Ruff's dog than their act

Diamond In The Ruff were ignored in favour of their pet pooch, who snuggled up to Simon throughout their performance

But their cute pooch obviously wasn't enough to sway him into saying yes, as he told them their performance was 'at best, holiday camp.'
Bill McKenzie tried his hand at some line dancing to a bit of Lady Gaga. But as he jumped around the stage, the judges weren't impressed and showed him the door.
But as a flurry of red buzzers went off, it was time for the Luminites from 'just outside the M25' to grace the stage.

Four-piece band Luminites impressed the judges with their acoustic performance

The four-piece band - who have been performing at unis all over the country - performed an acoustic version song, much to the delight of Alicia, who approved as soon as the female vocalist started singing.

And Simon soon started to nod his head as a beat boxer added some beats into the mix.

The audience obviously approved, cheering and clapping along as the trendy band sung their hearts out, complimenting them with a standing ovation at the end.
Jordan Clarke, 18, Ben Francis, 19, Stephanie Edwards, 18, and Corey Layzell, 21, all from London looked confident as they won over the judges and gained four yeses.
Alesha said: “Well, you’re a ready-made band. You’re fresh. I love the blend and the chemistry between you. You are solid, the beat boxing is wicked. Your voice is beautiful.”
Amanda added: “Luminites, it was amazing. It feels unique and the harmonies, perfect. It was absolutely a brilliant, brilliant audition.

Stephanie Edwards, 18, couldn't believe her luck with the comments the judges gave her and her band

David said: “What is there not to like about you. Fantastic song, you’re all brilliant musicians. You’re all very easy on the eye as well, in your own ways. No you’re fantastic, I didn’t mean you so much actually. You’re like ready-made stars.”
Simon chipped in: “The song choice was absolutely genius, genius. Your vocals were outstanding. It’s very cool. By far the best audition we’ve heard today.”
But it was soon back to the weird and wonderful, starting with mother and son duo James and Shirley.
Aptly named Mother and Son, the pair announced that they wanted to become as famous as Des O'Connor before performing a rather strange act, consisting of singing and showing cards.

Mother and Son James and Shirley couldn't quite win over the judges with their bizarre performance

Shirley, the mother sang a rather shaky rendition of Michale Jackson's Another Day Has Gone as she showed the audience a list of cards with chores on.
The audience looked confused but were soon won over when James started singing, but that wasn't enough to get them through to the next round.
Amanda compared Shirley to Dame Edna Dame Edna as Simon Cowell told the duo that the performance bought tears to his eyes, but not for the right reasons.

David continued to aggravate Simon Cowell by insisting to say yes to acts, including Mother and Son

David opted to put them through, but stone-faced Simon soon showed them the door.
Next up was double act The Duelling Pianos. Rob Russell, 55, and Craig Michael, 42 took to the stage behind a pair of pianos, playing a variety of tunes.
Simon wasn't impressed as usual, but the other judges looked like they were loving it.
David insisted that Simon enjoy himself and forced him to smile and dance, but he didn't look amused.

David tries to get Simon to enjoy himself, without much luck!

Despite normally being stone-faced, Simon was forced to crack a smile on this week's BGT

Backstage, it looked like Ant and Dec were having the time of their lives as they danced around to the multitude of tunes the pair played.
And much to Simon's dismay, Alice, Amanda and David all jumped to the feet at the end of their performance.

'I thought it was kind of OK, but then you hit bum notes' said Simon to boos from the audience.
Amanda - who has already buzzed the pair out - then decided to take back her decision and put them through as did Alicia.
And despite Simon saying no, the other judges put them through much to the delight of the audience.
The next bunch of acts didn't impress the judges either after the four revealed that they were after more danger. Despite flaming samurai swords and head balancing, the judges didn't look pleased as they yawned away.
But if it was danger they were after, it was certainly danger they got with next act Aaron Crow.

Self-proclaimed mentalist Aaron Crow brought an element of danger to the show

Host Ant McPartlin ended up at the sharp end of the show when Aaron dragged him on stage for a daring sword trick.
The act - who stayed silent for the entirety of his performance -  picked on the presenter after getting a couple of members of the audience involved during his audition on the ITV show.
He poured candle wax in his eyes before covering his face and slicing through a selection of props held by the nervous volunteers - including a pineapple balanced on Ant's head.

Ant looked terrified as Aaron took a samurai sword to his head, blindfolded

Ant said: "I was genuinely terrified as Aaron was coming towards me. All credit to Aaron though, it was an incredible act. Everyone was on the edge of their seats."
The act impressed show boss Simon Cowell who said it was "great".
He said: "I love the idea of watching something where there is a possibility that someone actually could actually die, and the fact that it was Ant made it more exciting, I've got to be honest with you."
And it looks as though the rest of the acts were in for a tough ride as Simon seemed unimpressed with the average talent he was hearing.
However, bricklayer Robbie Kennedy - who taught himself the guitar - saved the day.

Bricklayer Robbie Kennedy got off to a shaky start before wowing the judges with his rendition of The Goo Goo Dolls Iris

Rob, 22, didn't get off to the best of starts but luckily was given a second choice when Simon asked him to sing another song.
But he soon got it together and pulled it out of the bag with his rendition of The Goo Goo Dolls' song Iris, which gained him a standing ovation from the audience and all of the judges - including Simon!
After his performance, Alesha said: 'Robbie, you are so likeable. My heart is pounding. You just knocked me out. You have been blessed with a true gift.'
Amanda added: 'Robbie your voice is outstanding. You’re 22, where have you been? Do you sing when you work?'

The bricklayer gained himself a standing ovation from the audience and the judges

David said: 'The contrast between your amazing voice and the acoustic guitar playing worked fantastically. It was really, really stunning and it blew us all away, so well done.'
Simon added: 'I’ve got to be honest with you, I wasn’t expecting that. Do you know what Robbie, I think that if you put that record out you would have a number one hit with that song. Loved it.
'You know what Robbie, the charming thing about you is that you don’t know how good you are. Congratulations. Four yeses.'
