Viewers of ITV Britain's Got Talent expressed their disappointment with several acts as the auditions wrapped up. The well-loved talent show showcased a variety of unique talents from the public, but some fans felt that the main programme lacked its usual high standard.
Audience members voiced their dissatisfaction, suggesting that many of the acts featured wouldn't have made it through in previous years. They believed these performances would have been better suited to the now-cancelled spin-off, Britain's Got More Talent.
This show, hosted by Stephen Mulhern, offered viewers an additional glimpse at some of the more amusing auditions. This criticism comes after one hopeful decided to throw paper aeroplanes into a giant cut-out of Simon Cowell's face on Saturday's episode. Another act chose to rap about making a cup of tea.
One Twitter user commented: "Half of these acts would have been saved for Britain's Got More Talent back in the day. #BGT," while another remarked: "It gives me the ick how staged/set up BGT is now. A third wrote: "Britain's got talent is so bad, not how it used to be, where's the talent?, reports the Mirror.
It's like a pub session down the local after a few @BGT #BritainsGotTalent @ITV. "Meanwhile, a magician from South Korea received four yeses from the Britain's Got Talent judges, despite taking a dramatic fall off stage.
Initially, it seemed like this mishap might ruin his audition, but the performer, known as Manho, carried on, much to the crowd's delight. However, even though the judges lauded his resilience and professionalism, some members of the audience couldn't shake off suspicions about a potential stage trick.
Twitter became the platform for speculations, with one viewer posting: "I wonder if he meant to fall off the stage so he could change the shoes. Either way nobody went to help him.
Echoes of doubt were shared by another person who chimed in: "I thought he meant to fall," accompanied by a grimacing face emoji. Meanwhile, a third user questioned, "Was it just me who thought he was meant to fall off the stage? Whoops."
Before giving him the nod for the following stage, Amanda Holden commended him, saying, "Manho, first of all can I say, what an absolute professional, you carried on. I really loved this, it was unique.
Simon Cowell added his thoughts: "We've had a lot of quick change artists come on the show before but never anything sort of as cool and as slick and as modern as this. I loved it.
He then noted: "However, the fact it went wrong, sort of made the act better. Things do go wrong and that happens in life."
