His presentation skills were exceptional, and he was able to wow the judges and audiences at home each time that he performed. He went on to receive rave reviews from the Britain’s Got Talent judges. In the finale, judge Simon Cowell praised him as a “wizard,” and added that “magic must be real.” Judge David Walliams dubbed him as “flawless,” and Amanda Holden called him “extraordinary.” Judge Alesha Dixon echoed those remarks and declared him “incredible,” while noting that he had the ability to win the competition.
As a result, Raven was able to finish in 2nd place, becoming the runner-up winner of this Britain’s Got Talent season (He came in second to Jules O’Dwyer and Matisse, which was a popular dog act on the show). He secured 20.4 percent of the public votes, while Jules and Matisse earned 22.6 percent of the final vote.
Regardless, ever since his appearances on the show, Raven’s popularity has skyrocketed exponentially on his social networks, and rightfully so. His future in the entertainment industry will be very promising, and he deserves it. He has exhibited a great deal of talent and character while on the reality competition, and that should take him far in life.
Raven’s charity work with Niamh’s Next Step speaks volumes of his humility.
