Britain's Got Talent viewers were left fuming on Saturday evening after singer Nic Vani failed to receive a golden buzzer following his 'phenomenal' performance of The Lion King's Circle of Life. The dad-of-three, who said he had always been 'at the back' in his music career, stunned the judges and audience with his powerful vocals.
Judge KSI described the performance as 'phenomenal', praising Nic's 'crisp, clean' vocals. Amanda Holden said she felt like she was hearing the song for the first time, while Stacey Solomon and Alesha Dixon also heaped praise on the singer. However, all golden buzzers had already been used, with Stacey giving hers to a group of school children earlier in the episode.
Viewers took to social media to express their frustration, with one writing: 'Actual talented people don’t seem to get it.' Another said: 'Sorry, how did he not get a golden buzzer??? “No one had any left” idgaffffff Bruno used two before, pretty sure Simon’s used two as well, they make their own rules.' Many agreed that Nic's performance was 'golden buzzer worthy'.
Britain's Got Talent continues next Saturday at 6.45pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
