A body-popping breakdancer was the star of the show on Britain’s Got Talent tonight when he wowed the judges with his Matrix inspired dance routine.<\/p>\n

Romanian dancer Razy Gogonea, 28, bounded onto the stage as he ran on on his knees, dressed as Keanu Reeves’ character Neo from the infamous sci-fi movie.<\/p>\n

Watched by his girlfriend in the audience, Razy amazed the judges with his unique performance, which saw him bend and move his body like nobody else.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing:<\/p>\n

Amazing: Romanian dancer Razy Gogonea wowed the judges on Britain’s Got Talent with his Matrix-inspired dance routine<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Is<\/p>\n

Is that you, Neo? Afterwards, the judges praised the creativity of his audition and the beautiful choreography<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Afterwards, judge Michael McIntyre said: ‘I loved you Razy, there were things I never seen humans do. I thought it was excellent, I really enjoyed watching it. You are Neo from The Matrix.’<\/p>\n

Amanda Holden said: ‘I found it exciting, you used the whole stage which is very good. Beautifully choreographed, excellent job. Well done!’<\/p>\n

And David Hasselhoff added: ‘You’re like a real life videogame, very very entertaining. Well done.’<\/p>\n

\n

Emotional: Ravy couldn’t control himself as he received praise from the judges and a standing ovation from the audience<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

How was it? Asked how he felt by the experience by Ant McPartlin, Ravy replied: ‘It was awesome!’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A tearful Razy struggled to contain himself as all three judges voted to send him through to the next round.<\/p>\n

The show opened in Manchester, with the judges looking forward to the talent on offer in the city.<\/p>\n

Before the auditions started, Amanda said: ‘I’m always excited when I come to Manchester – for me it’s like my second home.’<\/p>\n

Michael then added: ‘We’re going to have some real genuine talent, I have no doubt that there will be.’<\/p>\n

The auditions began with painter and decorator Micky Gooch kicking things off.<\/p>\n

\"Nutter:<\/p>\n

Nutter: Martial arts expert Micky said he had been practicing ‘like a nutter’ for his audition<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Incredible:<\/p>\n

Incredible: The 54-year-old did a one-fingered press up on top of a nail, but was said to not be entertaining enough for the judges<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A 54-year-old martial arts expert, Micky said he ‘trained like a nutter’ before taking to the stage, boasting that he can ‘throw a watermelon in the air and cut it with his fingers’.<\/p>\n

Asked by David Hasselhoff what he was going to do, Micky said he would be performing a one-fingered press-up on top of a nail.<\/p>\n

Micky managed a staggering 10 push ups on top of the nail, leaving the judges cringing, before his finger slipped off the nail.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, Michael said: ‘I did feel it’s an amazing thing to do more than one of them but ultimately we’re looking for entertainment and I wasn’t entertained.’<\/p>\n

Amanda added: ‘It was amazing but I don’t think it’s enough to make it on to the Royal Variety show.’<\/p>\n

\"Double<\/p>\n

Double act: Ted, 91, and his 21-year-old granddaughter Grace are the stars of the show with their double act<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

We love you! The audience gave the family double act huge applause and a standing ovation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Next up was granddaughter and grandfather duo Ted, 91, and 21-year-old Grace.
Ted revealed he used to be a professional entertainer and gave it up when his daughter was born.<\/p>\n

Before hitting the stage, Ted admitted he was concerned about letting Grace down. Struggling to hear what the judges were saying, Ted misheard Amanda asking him if he was retired, saying: ‘Yes, I am tired!’<\/p>\n

The pair performed If I Was A Rich Man, with Ted things kicking off before Grace joined in with If I Was A Rich Girl. They then sang New York, New York, much to the delight of the judges and the audience.<\/p>\n

\n
\"What's<\/p>\n

What’s that? Ted struggles to hear Amanda talking to him and uses Grace as his interpreter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And while Ted struggled at points, forgetting to hold the microphone up to his mouth, the pair thoroughly entertained with their performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
