The Ruby Red Performers, a group of 12 women aged between 25 and 64 from the quiet village of Withernsea, stand out from the crowd with their unique dancing acts on Britain’s Got Talent. Unfortunately, their audition began on the wrong foot as they arrived in washerwomen costumes and delivered a lackluster opening dance. Simon Cowell seemed a bit too quick to hit the buzzer due to this misstep. However, the ladies swiftly changed into silk nightgowns, revealing a sultry dance routine that captivated the audience.
As the women danced to “I Like the Way You Move” by BodyRockers, an increasing number of garments slipped from their bodies, showcasing their untamed spirit. Initially, the audience remained quiet during the slow introduction, but erupted into enthusiastic cheers as the performance gained momentum. The Ruby Red Performers’ choreography grew progressively bolder, culminating in a triumphant finale where they donned British flag tassels and were reduced to their undergarments.
The audition by the Ruby Red Performers, with their extraordinary performance, seemed to be on the path to YouTube stardom. The ninth season of Britain’s Got Talent showcased an amateur burlesque dancing group whose audition video amassed 16.7 million views. As a result, their appearance became one of the most viewed dance group performances in the show’s history. It’s hard to believe that anyone could have watched the audition without smiling. It’s no surprise that it went viral.
The home audience thoroughly enjoyed the audition, leaving comments such as “I can’t explain it, but this really lifted my spirits and made my day!” in the comments section. Your energy is truly captivating. Your confidence is truly admirable. Your performance was an act of bravery. The Ruby Red Performers returned to the program with a brand new act in the semi-finals.
Simon Cowell acknowledged following the audition, “I might have activated my button a bit prematurely.” He was the first to express his thoughts. Subsequently, David Walliams commented, “That was exceptionally original and truly entertaining – outstanding.”
Alesha Dixon continued to shower herself with praise, stating, “Ladies, that has made my day.” As time passed, the situation only got better. Most importantly, you are empowering women. It’s remarkable, and I thought it was fantastic.
Despite Cowell’s previous dismissal, the Ruby Red Performers were able to secure approval from all four judges, propelling them to the next stage.
