Collabro formed in January 2014. Pagan and Lambert knew one another already, and used social media to find three additional singers to complete the band's line-up.Pagan and Lambert held auditions where they found Auger and Redgrave. They found Hadfield on Youtube singing Bring Him Home. They sung together for the first time at the Miller pub in London Bridge. It was not long after this that they decided to audition for Britain's Got Talent, as they had 'nothing to lose'.
In February 2014, only a month after forming, Collabro auditioned in London for the eighth series of Britain's Got Talent. They received a standing ovation from both the audience and judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams for their rendition of the song "Stars" from the musical Les Misérables. The judges were initially seen to have low expectations due to their styling and the fact that they had only been together for a month at the time. Cowell claimed that "Britain really has got talent" (a comment he repeated in the live semi-final) and they received a unanimous "yes" verdict from the judging panel, with Cowell also describing their performance as a "hit record", while Holden was reduced to tears.
On 25 May, it was announced that the band had been chosen by the judges to progress to the live semi-finals. They competed in the first semi-final on 26 May, performing the song "Bring Him Home" from Les Misérables. The performance was praised by all four judges, again receiving a standing ovation, and they received the highest number of votes from the public (receiving 62.3% of the total votes cast), ensuring their automatic progression to the final.
During the live final on 7 June, Collabro performed a different arrangement of their audition song "Stars" for which they received 26.5% of the vote, winning the competition by a wide margin.
Come What May
Collabro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather,
And stars may collide
But I love you, I love you
Until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

It saddens me terribly and is extremely unfortunate that Collabro disbanded!! They were the best...I could listen to them forever. Their beautiful voices, incredible harmony; they seemed so humble and kind... Success didn't change them...They had class!! I will miss them!!!
@Boogledigs
I saw them on their farewell tour with a friend who had never heard them sing before. It was totally spellbinding. My friend came out of the theatre absolutely speechless at the glory of their harmonies. I too am heartbroken that they disbanded.
@jannieminen4321
This group had magic. Their voices blended so well. Saddens me they lost one of their members. I’d love to hear the five of them again.
@chrislavin9581
Yes Richard had by far the best voice. Sadly the other 4 did not treat him well
@elizabethshank9112
I agree With you..please guys get over what tore this group apart..Forgive and come together....then sing like your heart has never sung before..
@jacquelinecoleman4190
What so what happened ? That's terrible. Why would they treat one bad , don't they need each other's part for harmony
@telliconnie
@@jacquelinecoleman4190 I read years ago that Richard was a doctor and he wanted to remain a doctor, so he left the group. I never heard about any disagreements or anything.
@rozhunter7645
@@telliconnie he wasn’t a doctor he worked on a building site, he’s bipolar and wanted to go in a different direction and was unhappy in the group. The other members of the group have never said a bad word against him but he has about them but apparently much of it is untrue. I believe they are better as a group of four and the other guys got a chance to spread their wings
@juliemullen7246
After 8 years, they have now gone their separate ways. I went to their last concert a few weeks ago. I will miss them, but am sure they'll be back. They are so, so good!!!!
@maryannbulaong174
Yeah... and hope they come back... the five of them...Richard, Matt, Tom, Jamie, and Michael.❤
