Britain’s Got Talent’s semi-finals were totally lit when KSI decided to join the judging squad as a fifth judge, chilling with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli. The YouTuber made waves by hitting the Golden Buzzer for magician Harry Moulding, which led to some mixed reactions from the viewers. Harry’s magic act was on point, but it was the unexpected marriage proposal to an audience member that really stole the show and melted everyone’s heart. KSI was so moved by the moment that he just had to secure Harry’s spot in the final with that Golden Buzzer.
However, things took a turn when nine year old dance sensation Binita Chetry hit the stage and blew everyone away with her performance. Viewers at home were left in awe, wondering why she didn’t get that coveted Golden Buzzer. One person even took to social media to vent their frustration, saying: “Not really sure why KSI chose a staged act over a genuinely talented 9 year old girl. Kind of a bummer, you know?” Another disappointed viewer chimed in, commenting: “Seems like a waste to give the Golden Buzzer to a magician when Binita was right there, killing it. Oh well, I guess.” It seems like the audience was really split on this one, with some even threatening to boycott the show next year because of the whole debacle.
Despite the backlash, there were still some supporters out there defending KSI’s decision. One person even went as far as to say: “Honestly, Harry Goulding deserved that Golden Buzzer more than anyone else this year. No doubts about it.” Another fan was just ecstatic about the whole thing, shouting: “HARRY GOULDING YOU’RE A MAGIC GENIUS! Seriously, how did he pull that off in just 48 hours? KSI made the right call for sure!” So, it looks like while not everyone was on board with KSI’s choice, there were definitely some die-hard fans who had his back. Britain’s Got Talent airs on Saturday nights from 7pm on ITV and ITVX, so you might wanna tune in and see what all the fuss is about. You never know what surprises might be in store next!
