From BGT to Paris Streets<\/h2>\n

Pearson first rose to fame on Britain\u2019s Got Talent earlier this year, becoming the first contestant in show history to receive two Golden Buzzers in a single season. His show-stopping performances of AC\/DC\u2019s Highway to Hell, Van Halen\u2019s Jump, and Queen\u2019s Don\u2019t Stop Me Now stunned both audiences and judges alike.<\/p>\n

Amanda Holden was visibly shaken, exclaiming: \u201cOh my God, Olly. Literally, a star is born. I have never, ever seen anything like that in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simon Cowell added: \u201cYou already have your own distinct sound, which normally takes people decades. You\u2019re that good!\u201d<\/p>\n

Though he ultimately placed fourth in the BGT finals, Pearson\u2019s career trajectory has skyrocketed far beyond the show.<\/p>\n

A Viral Moment in Paris<\/h2>\n

On September 8, pianist Julien Cohen organized an epic flash mob in Paris to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Queen\u2019s Bohemian Rhapsody. With more than 30 singers and musicians, the performance felt like a once-in-a-lifetime street concert.<\/p>\n

At the heart of it all was Pearson, whose blistering solo nearly stole the entire show. As one Reddit user wrote: \u201cBohemian Rhapsody is already powerful, but with 30 voices echoing through Paris \u2014 and that kid shredding \u2014 it was unreal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Callisto, the flamboyant lead singer of the flash mob, admitted: \u201cNever in a million years would I have thought I\u2019d be coming in on a horse and carriage in Paris singing Bohemian Rhapsody.\u201d<\/p>\n
