Simon Told Them to Become a Cover Band… So They Risked EVERYTHING With an Original!
When rock band SOS took the Britain’s Got Talent stage, they initially won over the room with a unique, heavy-rock spin on a classic Backstreet Boys hit. While the audience and judges loved the high-energy cover performance, Simon Cowell presented them with a harsh choice: either stick to playing cover songs to guarantee a decent paycheck, or take the much tougher, riskier route of performing their own original music. Determined to stay true to who they are, the band chose to risk everything and perform an original track for the semi-finals.

The band explained that their performance was dedicated to supporting grassroots music venues, walking off the stage with four massive “Yeses” and their heads held high.
