Sadly, the second attempt wasn't enough to win viewers over and the choir did not pass through to the second round.</p><p>A Britain's Got Talent spokesperson said: "A technical glitch meant that the wrong song was played at the start of St Patrick's Junior Choir performance as well as some vocals recorded during a rehearsal from them. The choir did not mime and we are very proud of their performance."</p><p><strong>Listen for yourself, do you think they were lip-synching?</strong></p><div><amp-twitter height="472" width="375" layout="responsive" data-tweetid="869262710206279680"></amp-twitter></div><p></p></div>
