At the latest audition for Britain’s Got Talent 2024, 39-year-old music teacher Taryn Charles stepped onto the stage and delivered an unforgettable performance. She sang the timeless hit “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” made famous by Aretha Franklin in 1968. Her soulful and powerful voice immediately captured the attention of the judges and audience, leaving them in awe.
The performance was so impressive that it earned Taryn a Golden Buzzer from judge Bruno Tonioli, sending her straight to the semi-finals of the competition. This was a huge moment, and the crowd responded with excitement, many standing up and demanding the Golden Buzzer a second time in celebration. The powerful moment was captured on video, which has already been viewed over 600,000 times online.
The reaction to Taryn’s performance has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans and commentators praising her for doing justice to both Aretha Franklin and the song’s original writer, Carole King. While Franklin’s version of the song is iconic, many forget that Carole King wrote it. As one viewer pointed out, “True, Aretha Franklin made it famous, but Carole King wrote it, and Taryn did both of them proud with her performance.”
What made Taryn’s audition even more special was the support from her family. Her mother was there to cheer her on, and the clear bond between them added an extra layer of warmth to the performance. Fans have expressed admiration not just for Taryn’s voice but for her character as well. As one fan put it, “Her voice is beautiful, and so is she!”
Some viewers even remarked that Aretha Franklin herself would have been impressed by Taryn’s rendition, with one comment saying, “She killed it. Even Aretha Franklin would get goosebumps.”
