Bailey might be forgiven if he feels the nerves in his semi-final perform due to the obvious comparisons that will be made.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight he sings another of his own songs called Growing Pains.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Cowell told him: I didn\u2019t love the song but I really like you. I think you have the potential to do really well in the business. If you are going to write your own material it has to be as good as Ed Sheeran.<br \/>\nAlesha Dixon: You are 15 and you are doing all the right things. You know who you are as an artist and I think you are going to fly.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Holden: You have such a gorgeous and clean tone to your voice. You are so authentic. I loved that song. I really did and I thought it was very cute.<\/p>\n<p>David Walliams: You came out and took a big risk. It was very brave. People are talking about you and I hope that translates into votes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/bailey.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/bailey.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"bailey bgt\" width=\"570\" height=\"317\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7452\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/bailey.png 570w, http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/bailey-300x166.png 300w, http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/files\/2014\/05\/bailey-200x110.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* auditions 300x250, created 9\/6\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7469702309\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/bgt\/7439\/bailey-mcconnell-sings-growing-pains-on-the-last-semi-final-of-britains-got-talent-2014\/\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 1805371;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bailey McConnell wowed at his first Britain\u2019s Got Talent audition with one of his own songs.
