Age:37
MEMBERS: “Philip”
FROM: Birmingham
JOB: Postal worker Royal Mail BMC
TALENT: Michael Jackson and Darth Vadar impersonator
BACKGROUND:
Philip has been dancing for 30 years but BGT will be his first real public appearance with the exception of the occasional family party and karaoke. Despite his obvious rhythm he has ‘never taken a dance class and his moves are 100% self taught!’ His passion for dance began when he was a child and first watched a Michael Jackson video, but only took up singing in 2000 in a bid to become a MJ impersonator.
2 years ago at a New Years Eve fancy dress party Philip dressed up as his other hero, Darth Vader where he performed his Michael Jackson moves, and the Darth Jackson act was born.
Philip works for the Royal Mail in Birmingham and lives with his sister.
JUDGES COMMENTS:
Simon – NO the act is ridiculous, its you in a children’s light saber, doing a ridiculous impersonator of Michael Jackson; your acting like a 3 year old
Amanda – YES. Don’t want you to take mask off as I want you to survive in the outside world
Piers – YES. When you turned into MJ thing I liked it; I liked your passion for it! You can dance!
