Aidan Davis (born 23 March 1997) is an English street dancer rapper and television host. In 2009, he reached the final of the third series of the ITV talent show Britain's Got Talent. He finished fifth place overall and later that year he toured the United Kingdom, making live performances with the series' other finalists.
Davis has made numerous performances since Britain's Got Talent, including the 'Diversitoys' tour with Diversity, and as a presenter on the Friday Download show on CBBC. During the year of 2012, Aidan made his first music video, "Let's Dance", which featured Jon Dos.
In May 2009, Davis auditioned for the third series of the ITV television talent show Britain's Got Talent. In his audition he performed to Flo Rida's "Low". He received positive comments from all three judges, with Simon Cowell saying "I think you're better than any dancer on this show, you are super, super, super talented". He received three yesses from Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan and was put through to the next round. Despite never having had a dance lesson, at the time Davis was compared to the series 2 winner George Sampson and was later chosen as one of the 40 semi-finalists.
He performed for a second time in the semi-final on 29 May 2009, dancing to "Rock Your Body" by Justin Timberlake. Again he received a standing ovation from the audience and positive comments from the judges. Amanda Holden said that Davis "blew her away" and he "went through the roof." Cowell told him, "whatever 'it' is, you've got it." He also praised Davis' confidence and charisma. Morgan compared him to a young Justin Timberlake, declaring him "a delight to watch". He was automatically put through to the final after receiving the highest public vote.
