It’s mind boggling how these judges dish out golden buzzers for boring sympathy acts, yet when true genius and talent is before them, they are blind and deaf. This guy truly deserves the golden buzzer. Open your eyes and ears, judges!!!

[@blakekelly1839]

He will win that’s why they didn’t give him the golden buzzer. But if too many singers got the golden buzzer people will be moaning so it’s good that he didn’t in that case.

[@jeffoconnor6814]

He more than deserved a golden buzzer but luckily for us we get to hear more of him throughout the show

[@blakekelly1839]

Yeah he will definitely be in the finals for sure that’s why he didn’t need one why waste a golden buzzer if he will be there anyway as they are not going to let him escape from the show if they did then there would be fans switching off.

[@thecultarchives3440]

It's like Black people are not meant to enter into opera as though it's exclusively a caucasian genre that he just obliterated by this astoundingly, spectacular second to none performance whilst he's not overweight like many are, respect, Bruno was the only one who was in recognition and awe of his talent, no golden buzzer underlines the racist expectation that opera is an exclusive genre for non-whites. They say he's the best opera singer in 17 years on the show ever and no golden buzzer, speaks volumes and it has to be nothing else other than racism, sadly!.

A golden buzzer shoots you through to the semi-finals without having to work so hard and showers the performance with a bunch of golden confetti. It signifies approval, but takes a lot away from the audiences around the world. That's about it. There may be attention received from those willing to help him outside, but Innocent doesn't need that. It is like a pinata with no guarantees of anything.

It's quite common to have people called: Consistency, Policy, Office, Blessing, Gift, Trouble, etc. The names reflect the past, and show the future.

I am so proud! Yet another South African singer with a noble instrument. Well done.

[@EarthlyMix]

I never thought I would enjoy opera music in my life until Innocent Masuku graced the mike with it. He definitely deserved the Golden Buzzer.

[@ThenjiweComedy]

I was so privileged to watch Innocent Masuku performing live last night and his heart is as good as his voice ❤❤❤❤

[@elizabethloock1877]

Well done from one South African to another. Masuku stay humble and never forget where you came from. Very proud of you!

[@JR-lh3ti]

One of the best opera singers I have ever heard. He makes it appear so effortless….He is not straining, everything is smooth and natural. Love his personality ❤

[@sadiemills9937]

Ditto

[@jeanettereeve2443]

I absolutely love opera, and this young man has made me fall in love with it all over again. What a simply amazing voice, his power, his breath control, and his performance were just stunning. He blew Paul Potts out of the water, he deserves to win, he's an absolute star. Perfection, my friend Bravo 👏 👏 👏

[@imchezi]

What a beautiful smile and amazing voice! The proudness of his fiancee. ❤❤

[@pasekammako1976]

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL TALENT

[@Itisfijished]

Amazing

[@hendalisteynberg6281]

Congratulations from South Africa! We are SO proud of you! You are sensational!!

[@nansmith8703]

Absolutely sensational❤

[@MonicaRoude]

I hope somebody helps this beautiful man to launch his career because he is absolutely amazing and humanity could lose a lot if he disappears. Just beautiful, beautiful man.

[@anneleonard8535]

He is already a professional opera singer - with an English opera company. But blinking brilliant and humble.

[@velshock]

He didn’t get the golden buzzer because the platinum buzzer is not ready yet. Bravo! 💐

[@sherylfantom7413]

I’m with you!

[@consuelocastano9659]

Me tooo !!! He’s amazing !!

[@thecultarchives3440]

It's like Black people are not meant to enter into opera as though it's exclusively a caucasian genre that he just obliterated by this astoundingly, spectacular second to none performance whilst he's not overweight like many are, respect, Bruno was the only one who was in recognition and awe of his talent, no golden buzzer underlines the racist expectation that opera is an exclusive genre for non-whites. They say he's the best opera singer in 17 years on the show ever and no golden buzzer, speaks volumes and it has to be nothing else other than racism, sadly!.

[@WellitonSantos-ue7el]

Estava sim

[@myxlstyx]

Innocent is amazing. I agree with the judges. I've had the privilege of watching and listen to this gentleman (about, at least 50 times!). I wish him good luck. What a powerful voice.

[@rinaatienza2554]

He should've gotten the golden buzzer for having a unique opera voice. Goodluck, he's amazing!

[@doodlepops707]

They never win. They're not going to bother.

[@alanaroets]

Halala! YES Innocent! 🙌🙌🙌 You get our Green and GOLD Mzansi Buzzer! 💚💛🇿🇦 The world is not ready for the talent we have in South Africa. 🇿🇦 ❤️ 🇿🇦 We have voices that descend straight out of heaven. And hearts to match. Not only in music, in everything, we have the potential and power to be the greatest country in the world. And we will do it! ❤🇿🇦❤️I'm SO PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN! ❤🇿🇦

[@Sundance304]

Well, SA you composed that song 'JERUSALEM' which had everybody dancing. Africa is slowly opening up, SA has led the way.

[@samfimo4027]

Thank You Jesus for all of South Africa's talented people 🙏🏻💙

[@ElizabethGrindon]

I loved the way he crossed his hands over his heart and bowed to the audience as they applauded- such a beautiful gesture.

[@hungcat0123]

I know. such a humble man

[@cathythomas250]

I love classical music and I love this audience reaction to it. Classical music shouldn't languish in a cupboard as if it's only for the elite. This lovely young man should also be called Blessing because he's a blessing to everyone who wants this kind of beautiful music to be heard and applauded by everyone.

[@maskedsingerhomie6891]

I'm honestly lost for words right now because I can't even explain how phenomenal this guy was. I don't think anyone was expecting that much power from his voice to come out and we've just found a ordinary guy turning into a diamond right in front of our eyes, This guy seriously was worthy of getting the golden buzzer and I'm betting my money right now on saying we are going to be seeing Innocent Masuku in the final of Brian's Got Talent 2024 without a doubt

[@betty4hughie]

Lump of coal? Not a great analogy!

[@DippyHippie]

@@betty4hughieoh,shut up!

[@chidimmaprincewill-chijiok7973]

Those 30 seconds when everything and everyone was suspended in wonder, perfection and absolute harmony. That was divine. Well done Innocent.

[@ChristianpreneurGlobal]

Why did he not get the golden buzzer? The most extraordinary performance. Bold. Clear. Sharp. Clean. Powerful. And what a beautiful and humble soul...but powerful.. he is meek but far from weak!!! Love him

[@yvonneholmes2990]

[@zycielle1726]

100%

[@jesserebekahrobinsonjohn4562]

He doesn't need it he's more than the golden buzzer, The reaction from the crowd was better than the golden buzzer.

[@karenwalker4216]

Ad so effortless. No sign of strain ever.

[@kanchanarajapaksha2266]

What kinda judges they are? Truly Golden buzzer

[@vicinter954]

I’m an Australian living in Switzerland listening to an African singing in Italian. It truely was wonderful.

[@CMG_HQ]

You forgot "Listening to an African singing in Italian in Britain" 😂

[@ElizabethGrindon]

And I'm a Canadian living in California listening to an African singing in Italian in Britain.

[@barringtonhicks9896]

a second caruso only better congratulations

[@luisafrance1635]

Stop making this silly comment everywhere. It’s boring calling yourself “Indian, Japanese, Indonesian” 🙄

[@tomtalker2000]

Absolute perfection. The diction, clarity, breath control, and range. You did Pavarotti proud my friend. From one gifted singer to another. Your DEFINITELY destined for singing this type of music my friend.

[@derangedmind786]

omg THIS GUYS VOICE IS INSANE. WASNT EXPECTING THAT AND THATS DAMN THE BEST PERFORMANCE ON ALL OF THESE SHOWS, BGT, AGT, X FACTOR, AMERICAN IDOL ETC. THIS GUY MAN WOW. PURE TALENT

[@margueritemorgan4617]

He does not need the golden buzzer. He'll get to the finals on his own. Plus we'll now get to hear more of his golden voice!

[@pamelaganyi7907]

Can't agree more. I would love to hear all his performances

[@fredssessanga220]

Well said...

[@agneslong2323]

I was also glad no golden buzzer. I was hoping that was not what they were considering toward the end. Perhaps they were thinking along the same line as us.

[@jackiesharp669]

Innocent has the most perfect voice, I've never heard that song sung so well by any of the great opera singers.

[@clorofemully]

I loved the switch from his bubbly smiley personality to focused and serious singer!

[@francespalmer6411]

Golden buzzer from Fran Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@tubeondahriver]

This sweet, masterful vocalist deserved the BIGGEST Golden Buzzer!! I'm so delighted for Innocent that he's where he belongs - sharing his beautiful gift on a world-class stage.
