    The Britain’s Got Talent 2024 final airs tonight and bookies have already predicted who will walk away as the winner.

    Tonight’s show (June 2) will see a variety of talent take to the stage in the hope of becoming the winner. Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli will judge the final performances.

    But it will be down to the viewers to pick the winner. According to bookies, one popular contestant has been tipped to win.

    Ladbrokes have predicted that singer Sydnie Christmas will win tonight. Odds are placed at 2/5 for her to be crowned the champion.

    Comedian Alex Mitchell is next with odds placed at 4/2 while dancing duo Abigail & Afronitaa are at 7/1.

    Alex Apati of Ladbrokes told OK!: “We’ve seen some sensational acts along the way, but it all boils down to tonight’s final, where the odds suggest it’s going to take something pretty special to stop Sydnie Christmas from winning the series.”

    This week, 28-year-old singer Sydnie wowed audiences with her rendition of Frank Sinatra’s My Way in the semi-final.

    However, following her performance, Sydnie hit back at ‘fix’ allegations after some people claimed her theatre experience gave her an unfair advantage.

    She has sung on cruise ships, including the Royal Caribbean International, where she starred as Rizzo in the musical Grease. However, she insisted she hasn’t yet made it to the West End stage.

    In a behind-the-scenes clip ahead of her semi-final performance, Sydnie said: “My entire life, I’ve been trying to be on the West End stage. Getting to the final would be a massive thing. I’d like to think all the knockbacks have led to this one moment.”

    My entire life, I’ve been trying to be on the West End stage.

    Many viewers have also declared Sydnie their winner. One gushed on X this week: “Oh my that was insanely good. Winner right there. Sydnie Christmas well done.”

    Another wrote: “Prediction for @ITV’s @BGT winner #BGT Sydnie Christmas.”

    The Britain’s Got Talent final airs tonight from 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

    K-pop band Blitzers were the second act to take to the stage tonight (Tuesday May 28) in the second BGT semi-final of the series.

    The boyband, originating from South Korea, have spoken of their dreams of achieving worldwide fame and certainly won over the Britain’s Got Talent judges with their audition performance of Shawn Mendes’s There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back.

    Tonight they blew Simon, Alesha, Bruno and Amanda away yet again with another energetic performance of WAR*HALL’s ‘Bring That Fire’. However it seems some ITV viewers at home were less convinced, with many taking to Twitter to make the same shocking accusation.

    “Blitzers miming on BGT.” One person tweeted.

    Another agreed and speculated: “They have to be lip-syncing, they’re moving round so much and nobody sounds out of breath or breathing into the mic?”

    A third also said: “What in the auto-tune lip-sync battle is this?”

    “Sounded like they were miming.” Somebody else tweeted.

    Blitzers have already found themselves under scrutiny from show audiences this week, with many complaining that the band, who have already made a name for themselves in South Korea, have an unfair advantage.

    Elsewhere tonight, Amanda was close to tears over a moving performance from 8-year-old Ravi and his “Dream Team” choir. The audience were also treated to another baffling trick from magician Jack Rhodes.

  • BGT viewers slam ‘creepy’ Bikoon act as Simon Cowell bemused in first semi-final: ‘Uncomfortable watching this’

    BGT viewers slam ‘creepy’ Bikoon act as Simon Cowell bemused in first semi-final: ‘Uncomfortable watching this’

    [ad_1]

    BGT viewers tonight (Monday May 27) had a very mixed reaction to Bikoon, leaving Simon Cowell bewildered.

    The variety act had a memorable route to this week’s semi-finals, wowing fans during auditions with a magic bag routine.

    But after the ‘secret’ behind the performance was revealed, some of those watching at home expressed concern – claiming the act was “creepy”.

    BGT tonight: Bikoon news

    At the end of tonight’s performance, with Simon the only judge not to have buzzed Bikoon off, it was revealed a shorter person was in the bag.

    Some users on social media had speculated a young child may have been inside – or even a dog.

    But when the second performer stepped out of the bag, fans seemed disappointed. There were even online ponderings about whether the ‘trick’ had been dangerous.

    Simon however, who looked crestfallen after the reveal, didn’t seem to understand why Bikoon had exposed how their bag act.

    How viewers reacted

    Amid complaints and speculation on social media about the safety implications of Bikoon’s performance, one person wrote on Instagram: “Uncomfortable watching this.”

    Another claimed: “Gave me the creeps.”

    Gave me the creeps.

    And a third moaned: “He got far too much airtime and I think it was cruel and dangerous to have somebody in a bag like that.”

    ‘Unbridled chaos’

    And while Bikoon proved divisive with viewers, some people didn’t know what to make of the unconventional act.

    “I’m lost for words. This is unbridled chaos with this bag,” one observer tweeted.

    “It was still entertaining and at one point I was actually happy the bag went through the hoop. It was a good effort Bikoon! But the cat’s out of the bag (or rather the man) @BGT #BGT.”

    Someone else chuckled: “Everyone talking about it being dangerous and the judges being disappointed about the person in the bag but like… what did you guys think was in the bag?”

    Separately, and not in response, another user wrote: “I thought it was a dog in the bag.”

    Others, however, knew they weren’t impressed.

    “This was dreadful. How they put him through to this stage, is beyond me. Utter Nonsense,” fumed one viewer.

    And another said: “Criminal that they got a semi-final place!”

    The semi-finals will be as far as Bikoon get in 2024 on BGT. Boos could be heard from the live audience as Ant and Dec confirmed they would not be progressing to the next stage. Innocent Masuku and Ssaulabi Performance Troupe were voted through to Sunday’s final.

  • BGT viewers bewildered as Simon Cowell smashes his Golden Buzzer for Japanese act: ‘Not worthy’

    BGT viewers bewildered as Simon Cowell smashes his Golden Buzzer for Japanese act: ‘Not worthy’

    [ad_1]

    BGT viewers couldn’t believe what they were watching as judge Simon Cowell hit his Golden Buzzer button tonight (Saturday April 27).

    Simon awarded the second bye to the final of the 2024 series so far, which is only three episodes in. Fellow judge Amanda Holden smashed her Buzzer last weekend to send singer Sydnie Christmas through to the last stage of the ITV talent show.

    However, some social media users were peeved by the act Simon selected. Detractors claimed Japanese dance troupe CyberAgent Legit weren’t “worthy” of the Buzzer. And other fans of the programme felt another act should’ve been the recipients instead.

    BGT Golden Buzzer: Simon Cowell’s pick goes to CyberAgent Legit

    “Wait how did this dance act get the Golden Buzzer over the choir?! #BGT poor choice,” one incredulous fan asked, referring to Northants Sings Out.

    “The choir was way better than that to me. It was good but not quite Golden Buzzer worthy #BGT,” asserted someone else.

    “They should have given the choir earlier the Golden Buzzer over these dancers #BGT,” somebody else insisted.

    Sorry what? They got the Golden Buzzer but the choir didn’t?

    And a fourth confused onlooker tweeted: “Sorry what? They got the Golden Buzzer but the choir didn’t? Not a huge fan of choirs on this show but they deserved it #BGT.”

    Meanwhile, some others watching at home weren’t happy that Simon had plumped for an act that wasn’t British.

    One user raged: “#BGT Apparently Britain hasn’t got talent according to #SimonCowell giving the #GoldenBuzzer to a dance troupe from Japan #ITV jokers!”.

    Another complained: “#BRITAIN’S got talent? Yet Golden Buzzer is from Japan that’s never been here before. It’s silly now.”

    And a third chipped in: “#BGT #BritainsGotTalent, not watching this no more, it is more like Japan’s Got Talent. That dance group was good but we have seen it all before.”

    ‘So in sync with each other’

    However, amid those slamming Simon’s decision, CyberAgent Legit won plenty of admiring comments from viewers who were impressed.

    “This Japanese dance team rocked! They got Simon and the audiences to go crazy. The audiences begged for the GOLDEN BUZZER!!! #BGT #CyberAgentLegit,” one wowed observer wrote.

    And another tweeted: “Congratulations to CyberAgent Legit for receiving Simon’s Golden Buzzer. So in sync with each other it was amazing #BGT.”
