OK, maybe I am the odd one here, BUT I don't think either did a thing wrong! The mother and daughter are both amazing in their ways. I think that on Talent, it was OBVIOUS that the mother was a seasoned performer and the daughter wasn't, BUT that is NOT bad. The daughter looked nervous on the show--BUT it would have been BETTER if she hasn't been accused of being forced to be there. I don't think she was forced. I don''t think she was miserable there. I think she was young and new to performing. This video is AWESOME!
Still agree Abbey should put together a little band with some friends and audition again on bgt as she is a great rapper and with good vocals and some variety in tone I think it could be incredible... I do think the judges were right that it seems like your Mum's dream. Abbey you just don't seem to enjoy doing it but I think if you'd like to start a band just follow your dreams or if you don't like rapping then you shouldn't feel forced to do anything you don't want to do. It's your life and you can lead it how you choose.
I see so many people hate on this woman (the mum) but I just want to point out (as a professional vocalist) that she does have a killer voice and if I were to go out and try to follow my dream only to have my kid pass me up (Particularly when it doesn't even seem like the girl wants to BE there) I'd be bitter too. Just because someone's your kid doesn't mean you aren't allowed to be a bit upset. Things could have been much worse. This woman could have thrown an absolute fit like some of the psychos who are constantly on this show but she just pouted a bit and accepted things.
I think the mom absolutely can sing, but she is selfish & obviously so game hungry she couldn't even be supportive to her daughter. it was pathetic.. and she's not that talented that she can be that way.
If you've come here from the Britain's Got Talent video and would like an update, here's a small one: Abbey is now 18, and she had a miscarriage when she was 17. Her instagram is @abbeyjordanx and still updates it regularly (5/17/2016) Not sure about Dawn because I didn't really look into her, but I know she and Abbey still have a good relationship. I'm sure if she had an instagram or something someone could find it.
I could listen to this all day. Dawn's voice is amazing and beautiful and she's a winner!!! Abbie has talent and the two can and will put together something that will knock everyone's socks off! GOOD JOB!!!
Although the mom does have a voice , the BGT audition , i didn't like your attitude !!!! Personal , I think a solo-career for both would be much much more likeable !!!!
Hi Dawn and Abbey xo first time hearing this tune was by you two. Loved it-thought you both did an amazing job of it. Is it possible that you will upload more?? Love from Canada. (my daughter is Abby)
I think you both look and sound fantastic, keep it up, bgt ain't the *only* route to success, and it was indeed a great chance to make you visible, now it's up to you to exploit the momentum. Seek as many interviews as you can, hammer on all media, build a FB page, make noise!!!
Your audition was really good in my opinion and Abbey raps well. You both should have got through to the next stage. Hope to hear more of Like Mother Like Daughter.
NOW it was a good presentation. I think that at Britain Got Talent you exaggerated in your faces and gestures. It was horrible. hahaha. Abbey? I loved that cute girl. :D
There was something a lot deeper going on during the audition at BGT. This woman Dawn couldn't be any more like my own mother if she tried and sadly I can see something Abbey that reminds me of just how I was living under someone who is controlling, mentally and emotionally abusive, jealous, insecure and competitive. Simon Cowell asked Abbey to sing alone and Dawns reaction and the way she walked off stage (DEC even asked her to come over here and watch, are you interested?) and the butting in with the singing between abbeys rapping is just what my Mother used to be like. Not one iota of interest in her daughters talent or opportunity to be on stage, it was all me, me, me. Dawn did all the talking (for abbey as well) which rang alarm bells for me, also at the very end of the BGT video, Dawn states to Abbey "But hey babes, I don't force you to do anything....you did it all". I heard the voice of a controlling abuser. I heard my Mother. Abbey had the demeanor of a very timid and unhappy girl. I really felt for her.
I actually enjoyed this. I think maybe on BGT you guys could have choreographed it a little different and had a better reaction from the audience and the judges. Mom, you have a GREAT voice.
you guys are both good, i don't think most of these people commenting know what they're talking about. You guys just have different styles, if you want to be unique and different than you guys work great together, but in my opinion I do think you'd have better chance going single. But it's your guys dream, so you do whatever YOU guys choose! I still think the judges should've given you guys another chance though, maybe a different song would've proved them wrong.
You said that "but in my opinion I do think you'd have better chance going single", but that's exactly why the judges didn't accept them, because they entered as a duet. The judges told them that they should go single instead. Idk how you misinterpreted the judges actions/words, and it's ironic for you to say that you don't think most of these people commenting know what they're talking about
Abbey has a much more interesting voice than her Mom and a natural talent as a great rapper. The two should not be a group as performers in my opinion. She should have her own band if she wants it.
So Abbey threw a "teenage tantrum", did she? And that's the reason you saw fit to start a clap-along that went nowhere? And the reason you stomped off the stage like a petulant brat when the judges asked to hear Abbey alone? And the reason for you embarrassing yourself by leaning round the curtain in a desperate attempt to get a tiny bit of the spotlight your daughter earned for herself? Then walking back out and locking arms like that would convince the judges that Abbey's talent was anything to do with you? Tantrum or no tantrum, your BGT appearance was painful to watch. Blaming your daughter for your humiliating antics...stay classy.
+Randallw0rth I feel bad for Abbey. This woman is using her daughter as an accessory piece for what is actually her song and not a joint performance. They didn't perform as a duo, Abbey clearly wasn't up for it. You shouldn't have to make your daughter with a quiet voice do ANYTHING (obviously because you've silenced her often enough, she probably finds there's no point in arguing anymore). She's not your puppet. I was glad to see the judges recognize the lack of uplift from you and allowed her to shine. She deserves it. I hope you've learned that you need to quit being a hog for the sake of your relationship with your daughter. Leave her alone. Let her find her own passions instead of making them your OWN.
Look Dawns a pretty good singer for like bars & weddings, nothing that special but a great voice nonetheless. Abbeys an amazingg Rapper, but she doesn't look like she loves this at all. Dawn is pretty selfish tbh
Sorry I have to agree w Simon. You're daughter looked like if she smiled her face would crack and she was being forced to be there. And you looked like you gave her a tiny part so you could "shine" and literay hog the limelight. As a mother myself I would never ever put myself before them and you have had your life, your daughter is just starting hers and should be allowed to shine.
Its a shame about the way they edited our audition. The whole thing was a farce really. Abbey suggested I auditioned for BGT with her to see if we could get on tv and it worked. Abbey filled in the audition forms and sent them from her email. By the time they actually filmed the interview, we had been there 9 hours and Abbey, as you can tell, had a teenage tantrum. I am very proud of us both as it took alot of guts to get on that stage and peform in front of audience, cameras and judges.
honestly they sounded good ... but to me .. the make up and outfit the mom wore i though would be something the daughter should have been wearing ( glittery make up ..skirt etc..) but instead the mom had glitter....an daughter had pants ...long sleeve no glitter ... just seem liked the mom wanted the attention
I think you all have it backwards. I think she sings GREAT and Abbey needs a lot of work. Her "rapping" sounds choppy and doesn't flow and her voice isn't that great. Mom has actual talent here. BUT ... Mom comes off as very pushy and show-offy. I think that's why she was so disliked. I also think they both wear way too much makeup and the fake tans are aweful, plus their outfits.. ugh.
This clip didn't do any justice for Abby. Bad looking video. Dawn's voice is good for pubs and weddings. At the audition BGT. Abby was overpowered by Dawn! Abby looked bored to tears during the entire interview before going onstage & while onstage while Dawn (Mom) stole the entire show! Best Of Luck!
no offence.... but ur daughter does sing better,n with better trainers or teachers she would hv a bright future, i mean look at the her when she finally smile n the judges asked her to sing,without her mom there!
I like how u sing mom but ur daughter uffff x( she need to smile and be happy. I mean I'm not trying to be mean but like come one I'm sure she could smile or some........:/
Cont from Below ... Yes you could sing but I don't think you have a powerful voice. If you listen to leona Lewis, Susan Boyle, even that Molly from last nights show they all have different unique powerful voices. You, I'm afraid, had a run of the mill karaoke voice.

If you enjoy it Dawn, keep doing it. Too many people spend their days doing things they don't want to do. Wish you all the best. x

I really love this song .... Because of you two ,, so fantastic ..

Thanks for the info , we're appreciate it
Those times when you are just waiting for Abby (the daughter) to start singing- but the mother just takes forever
Her mom is exactly like my mom lmao just all about herself .. abbey is super talented and I really hope she brings out music
I could listen to this all day. Dawn's voice is amazing and beautiful and she's a winner!!! Abbie has talent and the two can and will put together something that will knock everyone's socks off! GOOD JOB!!!
A solo-career or each in a different band would work great ,
because based on this video & BGT , they can sing , no doubt about that !!!!
Did Abbey ever continue rapping? I'd like to hear from her.
you guys are amazing singers
Although the mom does have a voice , the BGT audition , i didn't like your attitude !!!! Personal , I think a solo-career for both would be much much more likeable !!!!
best audition i have seen, 10 out of 10

what's abbey's Facebook or Twitter or something else.. ?
Rima Benouchene Abbie Matthews you can tell it’s her in the profile just older
Your audition was really good in my opinion and Abbey raps well. You both should have got through to the next stage. Hope to hear more of Like Mother Like Daughter.

love this version better than the original
Well done this is amazing😘
I think Dawn's voice is awesome.....I don't care what anyone says!!
Abby's vocals are amazing! I'm sorry, Mum but, you are a pub singer.
Her mum is really good

Even the channel name only mentions the mother- "bgtmotherlike".
snap bro.
I couldn't understand why Cowell was so nasty. I thought your voice was great, Dawn. I was completely confused. Here, wow, you are awesome!
Wow
brill!
The daughters just absolutely so much better the mother is just a bit annoying to be honest
Made it to BGT with my daughter Abbey Jordan on ITV1 aired on 28/04/12
why is this haven't got a videoclip it's fucking good, noone could make for this a video? I need to be make? my english is shit
Abbey has a much more interesting voice than her Mom and a natural talent as a great rapper. The two should not be a group as performers in my opinion. She should have her own band if she wants it.
Abbey i love u

i think you both were great ,, keep doing it x
I can't understand the jugdes. You Mom can sing verry well.
To Dawn: It's better to be a good person than to be a good artist
To Abbey: I'd dumb her if I were u, Live ur life
Look Dawns a pretty good singer for like bars & weddings, nothing that special but a great voice nonetheless. Abbeys an amazingg Rapper, but she doesn't look like she loves this at all. Dawn is pretty selfish tbh
i like her daughter. i think she should put more effort into turning it to smtg big. bigger atleast (Y)

I love Abby!
linsey Lohan looks great
@abbeyjordanx
That's her twitter mate
i like abbey alooooooot
the mom sings good but she is pushing herself for attention i like Abbey the most she is adorable ^_^
AbbeyJordan.x
WELCOME
Eugh, singing through the nose! Horrific sound.
honestly they sounded good ... but to me .. the make up and outfit the mom wore i though would be something the daughter should have been wearing ( glittery make up ..skirt etc..) but instead the mom had glitter....an daughter had pants ...long sleeve no glitter ... just seem liked the mom wanted the attention
I think you all have it backwards. I think she sings GREAT and Abbey needs a lot of work. Her "rapping" sounds choppy and doesn't flow and her voice isn't that great. Mom has actual talent here. BUT ... Mom comes off as very pushy and show-offy. I think that's why she was so disliked. I also think they both wear way too much makeup and the fake tans are aweful, plus their outfits.. ugh.
Mizzy's Parrots abby is so hot not like you at all
Abbey will always be better
This clip didn't do any justice for Abby. Bad looking video. Dawn's voice is good for pubs and weddings. At the audition BGT.
Abby was overpowered by Dawn! Abby looked bored to tears during the entire interview before going onstage & while onstage while Dawn (Mom) stole the entire show! Best Of Luck!
no offence.... but ur daughter does sing better,n with better trainers or teachers she would hv a bright future, i mean look at the her when she finally smile n the judges asked her to sing,without her mom there!
I like how u sing mom but ur daughter uffff x( she need to smile and be happy. I mean I'm not trying to be mean but like come one I'm sure she could smile or some........:/
BORING.
Cont from Below ... Yes you could sing but I don't think you have a powerful voice. If you listen to leona Lewis, Susan Boyle, even that Molly from last nights show they all have different unique powerful voices. You, I'm afraid, had a run of the mill karaoke voice. I can't comment on your daughter because you only let her rap and not sing!!, which is disgraceful considering you were a duet!!!
