This Sweet 84 Years Old Man’s Performance Made Everyone’s Day

David Forest brought a different kind of energy to the Britain’s Got Talent stage in 2016 — one fueled not by flashy notes or wild effects, but by pure personality and an endlessly clever twist. Dressed in a mustard yellow blazer and a cheeky bow tie, the elderly songwriter greeted the judges with a twinkle in his eye.

Then, with a simple setup and an old-school keyboard, he began to sing a song that… well, didn’t seem to have an ending. The lyrics looped back on themselves with humorous charm, creating a spiral of surprise and delight. What started off straightforward quickly turned into a running gag that had everyone — including Simon Cowell — in stitches.

Rather than being frustrating, the never-ending structure became the punchline itself. David’s delivery was so calm and committed that the audience found themselves rooting for him — even as they laughed at the absurdity of the performance. The longer it went on, the funnier it got.

By the end, the judges were buzzing — literally and figuratively. Some hit their buzzers out of confusion, others out of amusement, but no one could deny that David left a lasting impression. His performance was proof that humor, timing, and originality can sometimes steal the show more than any high note ever could.
