Simon Cowell called out the Britainâs Got Talent producers on live TV in an awkward semi-final moment.
It was a busy night for the ITV talent show on Saturday night (May 9) as more acts looked to make it through to the final later in the month. To date singer Matty Juniosa, and her dog Salsa, illusionist Fabian Fox, musician Sadeck Berrabah and dance troop LMA have all been sent through.
Ant and Dec revealed at the beginning of the episode that KSI was the judge with the power of the golden buzzer this week. The YouTuber and boxer could send any act he wanted straight through to the final.
âWhat do I do with this power? I could troll with it. Itâs all about feeling with me. If it makes sense Iâll press it,â he said to the Geordie presenters.
Performing this week was glowing performance group Antigravity, daredevil act Liwei Yang, The Lux City Choir, dance group Mega Unity, acrobatic act Mizuki Shinagawa, harpist and singer Niamh Noade, dance group Playground and comedian Ted Hill.
Early into the semi-final, The Lux City Choir looked to stun the judges with a powerful performance of Miley Cyrusâ The Climb. Fans will recall that they sang Whitney Houstonâs Higher Love at their audition.

Sadly, the performance didnât go down as well as expected with the judges, with several of them calling out the song choice. Alesha Dixon said: âI loved the opening, I felt like I was in the circle of trust. It was a beautiful way to start the performance⊠your voices are just perfect.
âMy only small criticism was the transition in the middle of the song, it felt a little clunky to me. I really liked the Miley Cryus song⊠just creatively, I would have liked you to go to a different song. It just didnât work.”
Amanda Holden added: âI got goosebumps when you first started⊠The song choice was brave. I was waiting for that massive moment weâve seen with you before, I didnât feel like we got that today. I love how free you are and how relaxed you are.â
KSI stated: âI felt like the introduction was really nice, your voices are heavenly. Iâm not sure of the song, I donât know what the song is. It kind of went over my head⊠I wasnât able to relate or respond well to it.â
When it came time for head judge Simon to have his say, the music mogul defended the act. Instead, he called out the showâs production team after asking if they could perform again.
âAre we able to do this again? If this was an audition, Iâd say letâs just hear you because your voices are great. The track kicked in and we lost you.
âWhat would have been beautiful in the middle, if the track had just completely dropped away and heard how good you are. You were actually overproduced, boo to the producers Iâm afraid. Seriously, itâs not your fault,â he noted.
Lux City Choir member Josh then said: âFirst of all, a big thank you. This is the biggest thing weâve ever done. We worked really hard for this.â
