BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans have once again branded the show a ‘fix’ after being left disappointed with the results.
Last night’s semi-final saw Sydnie Christmas win the public vote and then singing impressionist Mike Woodhams landed the second spot – after the judges’ decision went to deadlock for the second time this week.
Mike was up against dancer Leightonjay Halliday, but Simon didn’t want to have the final say – leaving it up to public vote.
Those watching BGT at home were unimpressed and slammed the results – in particular because they believe Sydnie is already an established singer.
One person raged: “I really like this girl but it kinda feels unfair that she’s already a professional singer.”
A second agreed adding: “Same as the opera singer the other night #BGT scouts get them to audition. One big fix.”
“What a fix she already has been in the west end,” remarked a third.
Another fan commented: “Wanted rask A.I in the final. What a fix this is.”
As someone else shared their frustration, writing: “Risk Ai didn’t get through, what a fix.”
Sydnie has made no secret of her experience and has said that she has performed on “a couple of cruises and was in a show in Germany” but dreams of performing on the West End stage, but hasn’t yet had her “big break”.
Judge Simon Cowell described her powerhouse rendition of Frank Sinatra’s My Way as “11 out of 10”.
“I was honestly thinking as you were performing, if it wasn’t for people like you, I wouldn’t bother making this show, seriously,” he said.
Christmas had received judge Amanda Holden’s golden buzzer during her first audition meaning she was automatically sent through to the next round.
In a video shown before her performance, the singer said: “I’ve done so many auditions, a lot of no’s, oh my god a lot of no’s. Thank god Amanda sees something in me,” she said.
