‘Just awful’ rage Britain’s Got Talent viewers as they turn off act despite making show history
BRITAIN’S Got Talent viewers have blasted an act despite making history with their performance.
The ITV variety show continued on Saturday night as the penultimate round of auditions got underway.
Viewers were introduced to Korean group Blitzers who took to the stage.
Aged between 19 to 22, the dancers revealed they are the first ever K-pop group to appear on Britain’s Got Talent.
They blew the judges away with their rendition of ‘There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back’ by Shawn Mendes.
After getting a standing ovation from the audience as well as Simon, Alesha, Amanda and Bruno, the group were given four yeses.
However, viewers at home were left seething with rage as they branded the performance ‘just awful’.
One commented: “Why are people screaming for these lads? The dancing is fine, but the singing is letting them down.”
A second wrote: “Please tell me I’m not the only one who was horrified when the started singing.”
“If they say they’re good singers then they need a boots hearing test,” said a third.
While a fourth posted: “Were those judges watching the same audition as us? The Korean group could dance yeah, but the vocals were bloody awful!”
Meanwhile, The Sun recently revealed how Denise and Stefan are favourite to win the show, according to the latest odds from bookies Ladbrokes.
The opera duo, who are both blind, were the standout performers on the hit ITV show last weekend.
Britain’s Got Talent continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
Britain's Got Talent's biggest 'fix' rows
Britain's Got Talent has been plagued with 'fix' rows over the years. How many of these do you remember?
Jasmine Elcock – 2016: Teenage singer Jasmine Elcock stunned the nation with her version of Cher’s Believe. But it then transpired she had already performed professionally in London’s West End. Jasmine, 14, admitted: “I’ve performed in Annie in the West End at about the age of nine or 10, but I really get nervous.”
IrShad Shaikh – 2017: BGT fans were left questioning the rule book when IrShad Shaikh auditioned. He got four red buzzers from the judges, which would usually mean an instant dismissal. Yet in a strange turn of events, they let him continue with his act…and put him through to the next round.
Colin Thackery – 2019: Elderly war veteran Colin won BGT in 2019, but there was an outcry over the final. He warbled his place to win with a version of We’ll Meet Again but fans were furious that escapologist Jonathan Goodwin didn’t even rank in the top three. Viewers felt Jonathan – who almost suffocated while being buried alive in a gravel pit – should have won.
Axel Blake – 2022: Comedian Axel Blake was given a Golden Buzzer in 2022 after making the judges laugh. But fans were fuming when they discovered Axel already had a show on worldwide streaming platform Amazon Prime. Despite this, Axel still went on to win the series.
Loren Allred – 2022: The 2022 series of BGT was hit with another controversy when singer Loren Allred also received a Golden Buzzer. She performed Never Enough from the smash hit musical movie The Greatest Showman and got a standing ovation. It later transpired Loren was actually the original voice behind the track.
Taryn Charles – 2024: Singer Taryn Charles is one of this year’s hopefuls lucky enough to receive the Golden Buzzer. Bruno Tonilio put her straight through to the semi-finals following her performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin, but it has now come to light that she is no stranger to TV. Viewers recognised Taryn from an episode of ITV1’s Starstruck, where she impersonated Whitney Houston for judges Olly Murs, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight.
