Ronan Parke – THEN
When Michael McIntyre said Ronan shouldn’t bother going back to school after taking a day off for his audition, it didn’t surprise us. With a voice like an absolute angel, he should’ve been heading straight for a record studio!
Ronan sang Nina Simone’s classic ‘Feeling Good’ and got everyone on their feet by the end of his performance. Despite being the bookies’ favourite to win that year, he got runner-up instead but that wasn’t the end of his singing career!
He signed a record deal with Sony Music and released his debut album in 2011. Since then, Ronan’s made a collaborative EP with another BGT musician, Luciel Johns, played the title role of Aladdin in a pantomime and even been signed to a new management company.
We might even say he’s feeling good these days…
