The group was started by a young woman named Jade, whose little brother Christian is vision impaired and has cerebral palsy. She taught him sign language, and then started a class to teach other people.
For their final performance, Sign Along With Us wore matching white outfits with their group name written in gold. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had to be distanced on the stage, but they still made it work. The virtual audience was cheering them on as they performed “The Climb.”
What Did The Judges Think Of The Performance?
The BGT judges gave the group a standing ovation, and David Walliams said he “couldn’t be prouder,” calling it “magic.” He added that it was their best performance on the show, and hoped they would win.
